Self Introduction

"So you want to hear a story?"

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Oisín Hanna, I was born on the 11th of November 2000. I moved to Canada when I was 5. I ended up living there for two years. While I lived in Canada I went to two different primary schools after moving a number of times. Unfortunately I had to move back to Ireland after my parents visas expired and wouldn't get renewed. After coming back to Ireland I ended up going to another two primary schools after having to move a whole lot more. Now I try to go back to Canada once every year and it's been work so far for the past 6 years. Eventually I hope to be able to save up enough to move back to Canada permanently. When I finally have enough to move to Canada I want to train to become a commercial pilot and travel the world. I have to dogs both are shih tzus their names are Gizmo and Shadow. Gizmo was born on the exact same day that we landed in Ireland on the 1st of February 2008, he got his name because when he was a puppy he looked like Gizmo the mogwai from Gremlins. Shadow ended up getting her name simply because of the habit that she quickly made of following Gizmo everywhere he went.

In my spare time I like to play video games. I'm primarily a console gamer which means that most of the games I play are on the likes of the PlayStation or Xbox. The preferred genre of games that I play are shooters and hack and slash games such as Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed. My personal favorite shooter is hands down Halo Reach, with Borderlands being a close second, because you can customize your entire character how you want while the story shows a different side of the franchise. While Halo is my favorite shooter my favorite hack and slash is a toss up between Dark Souls III and Bloodborne, both of which are made by the same company Fromsoftware, I love these games because of the unique challenge that the games create were no one player will have the same experience from one boss fight to another. I did end up making a review of Dark Souls III you can see here.

Music wise I don't really have a favorite type of music, I'm the type to just like songs regardless of genre. When it comes to songs however while I do generally have a favorite song it's always subject to change as of writing up this post one of my favorite songs would probably have to be Lions Inside by Valley of Wolves.

I am currently a student in Technological University Dublin Blanchardstown campus. I am studying a Creative Digital Media course will (hopefully) last a total of 4 years. As of posting this I am in my second year of college. Last year I feel as though the best class for me was Web Development as at the beginning of last year i had no clue about HTML or CSS and by the end of it I felt relatively comfortable with the basics. The biggest accomplishment for me last year probably has to be making a basic web site as it let me use the new skills that I was learning and showed me the level I was at. This year I will be learning game development through Multimedia Development and I hope to be able to learn the make a good game that I can use as a template for later projects.
