Introduce Yourself - The Sequel!

[Accushla122]

Suppose I've been lurking for long enough...

First Name: Aidan, but prefer John

Profession? Student?: Student

Age: 18

Favorite Hobby: Video games mostly, but I like 3D printing too

Favorite part of Halo: The story. Although it's recently been going a little all over the place, the story of the original bungie games has gotta be one of my favourite video game stories ever. One of my favourite stories in general

Favorite Halo: I don't know yet. I haven't played all of the games just yet, Slowly making my way through Halo 2 on Legendary for a first playthrough on co-op (very bad idea). I'm excited for 3 and Reach, and also ODST given the recent buzz I've seen surrounding the helljumpers

Favorite Video Game: Ultrakill

Other Interests: Biking, reading

Favorite Food: Undecided

Favorite Band: Also undecided

Favorite Movie(s): Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Life of Brian

What do you hope to learn here?: Techniques and methods to bring a suit of Mjolnir to life! I hope to one day march on conventions with my fellow members of the Canadian regiment!

Have you built/made a costume before?: Nope, but I hope to!

Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: Not yet

Other: Although I didn't grow up with Halo, nor was I alive during its golden age (I'm only a couple months older than Halo 3, god that's weird), I absolutely love the series and the culture that sprung up surrounding it, especially the cosplay community! I recently went to Fan Expo Toronto and talked with the fine people at the 405th booth (if you were there you might remember me as the dude in the tie with the sword and briefcase asking a ton of questions), and I was awe-struck with the skill and love put into every single one of those suits. I can't wait to talk and meet more people as I set off on my own Great Journey.
