Games I'm looking forward to in 2016

With 2015 coming to an end I thought I would share the games I'm looking forward to in 2016

First off is the long awaited Kingdom Hearts 3. Men I have been waiting for this game so long. So very long. Kingdom Hearts is probably the first single player game (beside for Pokemon and Harvest Moon) that I fell in love with. Up till Kingdom Hearts, when I wasn't playing Pokemon, I was playing party games like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart with my siblings or friends. Until my cousin introduced me to Kingdom Hearts.

Second is Final Fantasy XV. Square Enix makes such good games and Final Fantasy is one of my favorite series. I have been a fan of Final Fantasy since I played Final Fantasy X way back. I kind of feel like I don't have to explain why I'm excited for this game, just because it is a Final Fantasy game and it is made by Square Enix.

Lastly is Pokemon Go. If you know me at all, you know I'm a massive Pokemon fan. I fell in love years ago when Pokemon Blue and Red first came out. So I have been a fan for awhile now. The idea of being able to run around in the real world catching, training and battling Pokemon is such a great one. I'm so looking forward to be able to do the stuff that I do in game in the real world.


In other words I'm only looking forward to Pokemon and Square Enix game.

My Very First Video Game

I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember. I have been playing since I was a young child. I also had older siblings who also played video games, so for me it was only normal that I got into gaming. I can't remember the very first video game I ever played, but I do remember what game was the very first game that was my own game. That game was Pokemon Blue.

I got into Pokemon though a neighbor who discovered the game and introduced it to me. I got hooked and really enjoyed playing it. I went on to borrowing Pokemon Yellow from them and loved having a little tiny Pikachu follow me around. Come on Pikachu is super cute, how can you not love it?

I have some fond memories of playing Pokemon Blue, like playing Pokemon Blue on long car rides to see family while listening to a tape my brother made. It was a recovering of the first couple of episodes of the anime, during the first episode my brother had recorded my name - Sarah, over that of Ash.

Ok so there is no hiding just how much I loved Pokemon back in the, not that I can say much has changed as I'm sitting here typing this in a Pikachu onesie. All I'm missing is my Pikachu slippers, and my Pikachu pillow. Yes, I have a Pikachu onesie, Pikachu slippers and Pikachu pillow, don't you? 

Supanova 2015 write up

About two weeks ago Supanova was on. I decided to go on the Sunday. I cosplayed as Dreadlord from Warhammar in the morning and Sabrina from Pokemon in the afternoon.

While I enjoyed, going I thought the amount of panels, screenings and things to do in general to be lacking. If I went for both days I think I would have gotten bored. I got there just before 10am, and ended up leaving just after 3pm after seeing the Matthew Lewis panel.

One thing I was surprise about was how little I ended up buying. I liked how much there was on offer but due to limited version in the morning while I was looking, I couldn't take as much in, and only went to a couple of stalls in the afternoon that stood out.

Why I Cosplay

As many of you would have noticed by now I love to cosplay. I know cosplay isn't mainsteam, but it seems to becoming more common and more people are getting into it. I find that explaining cosplay to normal people can be interesting at time. I am a adult after all, so why would I want to dress up as someone from a game or a movie, or a tv show?

For me cosplay is being able to show off your love for a show, a movie, a book, a game, or even just a character.  To me cosplaying as someone is one way of saying I really like this thing and I want to let other people know that I really like this thing. I also love the idea of bringing something to life.

I also love the challenge of bringing them to life and because of this I have learnt a lot already. When I started cosplaying, I didn't have much experience using a sewing machine. I still have lots to learn about sewing but now I can use one. I also really enjoyed the challenges of bringing my Weeping Angel wings, Chaos Blade and Highway Star to life. I learnt a lot from them, and I'm really happy with how they turned out.

I think the best bit is having it all come together and wearing it to a con. Having all of your hard work together and being able to show it off is a really good feeling.

Funny Cosplay Moments Part 2

Welcome back to the second part of funny cosplay moments, where I tell you funny moments that I have had in cosplay. This year at AVcon as you know I cosplayed as a Weeping Angel, this led to a few interesting moments.

I had a gold pass so I was able to get in early to have a look around, which I took full use of as I didn't know how easy it would be to get around and have a look at stuff with the wings on. This meant I was able to have a bit more of a chat with stroll holders.

One stroll holder, as I walked passed, told me no murdering, and we started to have a chat about leaving bodies in the toilet and how no one would notice the smell. Um ok than. The second one just stared at me and wouldn't say anything, that was until I asked her if she was a Doctor Who Fan.

The best reaction was from a boy who may have been about 13, on my way out of the dealers room and into the artist alley, I pasted by this boy who was going the other way. When he saw me, he stared at me as he spread past me, as he got closer he told me he couldn't blink, and span around so he could still see me and walked backwards into the dealers room. One of the artist in the artist ally saw this and had to laugh. 

Storage help

I have a small craft room so I try and make the most out of it. Over some time I hope to share with you all some of the different ways I store things.

One of my favorite things are command hooks. They come in different sizes and allow you to hang things. Which means you can get stuff off the ground if size permits. They have sticky pads which are replaceable that you stick to the back of the hooks and than on to the wall and when you pull them they aren't meant to damaged the paint which is handy if your renting.

Some of the things I hang using the hooks include my heat guns, my white broad, dremel, glue and a sword. All pictured below.

If I lived in the Pokemon world, what would I be?

If I lived in the Pokemon world I would love to be a trainer. With so much to see and do in the Pokemon world why would you want to be stuck in one area. What better way to see it all than with your Pokemon?

If I lived in the Pokemon world I would have to have Pokemon of my own and I would want a few. Not to mention that while I have a favorite type *cough*fire*cough* I wouldn't want to be forced to stick to one type of Pokemon like a Gym Leader. It wouldn't surprise me if I ended up with mostly fire type and than have a odd Eevee or Pikachu.

I also have a preferred area, I wouldn't want to be stuck in one area. I would love to travel across the land, searching far and wide to understand the power that's inside each Pokemon. It will be my pokemon and me, I know it's my destiny.
I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

Like I was saying, the Pokemon world is getting pretty big now, so there would be a lot to see. Plus there are so many Pokemon that you wouldn't be able to catch the ones you love without traveling or hoping you found someone with a Pokemon you want who's willing to trade with you.

If you lived in the Pokemon world, what would you be?
