Festigame 2012

Since I don't ever travel anywhere, I think this counts as a holiday.

Festigame 2012 was a really large event held during the first weekend of August at Estacion Mapocho. It was all about videogames, with all the brands of the many developers there are in the world of gaming.

I was invited by my older brother (the one with the glasses, Marcelo), who also invited my younger brother and my nephew. We're all gamers, although the younger ones play more often and are quite fanatics. Marcelo and I take it easier... but we still went mad when we got to try some motorcycle racing game one against the other. I beat him, as always when it comes to racing games.We also tried a 3D split screen TV and had a race competition there aswell, with cars. Won again.

There was a Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournament displayed in a giant led screen and we stayed to watch. It was AMAZINGLY EXCITING. Then there was a PES 2012 tournament with the football commentator Alberto Jesus Lopez, 'El trovador del gol'. That was tons of fun. The winner was a guy who played using the Barcelona team, so we were happy. Meanwhile, the younger ones were in line trying to get an autograph from Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario (from the Mario Bros. games).

It was very crowded and I found it hard to walk by the stands... and sometimes big masses of people would puch me from one place to another, but I still had a blast. We were all gamers and the geeker you were, the cooler you became!

(My face is blurry in that photo so I look a bit weird...)

Being a clown

I wouldn't say this one is my favourite... but I do like it, a lot. It's pretty much 100% ego with an extra large portion of MORE ego.

This one is my profile picture in Facebook (where I can be found as Nat Kougi).

That's me, sitting by the desk in my bedroom, leaning against one of the walls covered with posters. That one behind me is a 'The New Avengers' poster. I found it cool, because I love comics (my hoodie has 'Deadpool', Marvel's greatest antihero, written across the chest).

I actually think it's funny, because I have low selfsteem, so I don't think I'm pretty or atractive... and definitely not sexy. I took this picture to make fun of the people who take themselves too seriously. People who think they're stylish. I don't have the money to buy the propiate clothing to be stylish, so I decided to pull some sort of parody while listening to LMFAO's 'Sexy and I know it'. I happen to have those ridiculous sunglasses (though there is no glass), and they looked perfect.

On the other hand, I had to take Photography twice because I failed the first time. Nevertheless, I think this is a nice shot. I used a warm filter to take the picture because I like that hue... and it came out even warmer than I intended.

Anyway, I like to be silly sometimes. I guess the fun is worth the embarrassment!
