==What's on my mind==

I want some pillows again. So I can lay my head onto them, and take a good rest!

About Me
Hello there! I'm Rafael, 31 years old, Brazilian, living in the finnancial center of the Latin America, São Paulo.

I'm married to my beautiful wife Camila, and have four "kids": My 1 year and a half daughter Sophia, and my three cats (Cliff, Aimee and Vida). I work at the national bank here, called Banco do Brasil. It's a institution with more than 200 years, and it's foundation dates back when Brazil was still a Colony of the Portuguese Empire.

NEWS!

In this 2 years I've been absent, I started doing one passion I always had: music! Currently I'm working under three aliases:

drvLock: this one is focused on drum and bass and dubstep (yeah, electronic music!)

Secondary Unit: this one is focused on industrial music (EBM, Hellektro)

Trônes de l'Obscurité: this one is focused on dark ambient (and you'll notice some resemblances to Yamaoka works :))

What am I doing here?
I'm a huge fan of the Silent Hill series. Naturally, I googled where I could find more information regarding the games, and discovered this wiki. It was like a year ago. Then, I decided to stop lurking in the shadows and contribute too.

I feel I'm still "pretty young" here, with so much things to learn, but with some things to teach too.

My greatest contributions SO FAR have been some pics, as I think that when you see a picture, it's easier for you to understand what is said in the texts, and the Music part in Features of Silent Hill article. I'm working on a theory that needs to be confirmed by Vatra, regarding rocking chairs in Downpour. Already sent e-mail to them, and I'm just waiting the answers.

Recently I've become addicted by the chat room here, where I made some friends! (who I'll list below)

Wiki Friends
Wes : He was the first guy to say "Hello" on chat, and started giving me some hints about how all this works. Good guy to talk to, you can literally talk anything with him! Also he works with films and stuff, and told me I should start writing again.

Emmy: She was the first admin to welcome me when I introduced myself in a blog post (which was deleted after about 5 minutes!). She's a very outgoing person, very nice to talk to. I adopted her as one of my granddaughters, even though I've never seen if she's really human. I'm assuming she's a cartoon character, as shown in her profile! ;)

Hallie: She's my second granddaughter! I was first impressed by her acid humour, and how direct she's with people. But then, I realised how caring she is with everyone in the wiki! Very nice to talk to her, about anything. <333 my dear!

Jess: She used to call me "good sir" every time I said "hello" on chat. I don' know why she stopped doing that, but... I like talking to her! She's a very kind person, and is always a pleasure to talk to her.

Rob: Rob is a guy who recently joined this wiki and started adding stuff to the wiki like crazy! When we started talking on the chat, he showed to be a very intriguing guy, with lots and lots of theories about SH. He is also supporting me on my "rocking chair theory". Sometimes, he's there just for the lols, lmfaos, etc., but is a good guy to talk too!

THE LIST IS INCOMPLETE

Video Games
I'm a huge fan of video games. As I was born in 1983, naturally I've played video games since Atari. I owned one Atari 2800. Then, I switched to a Sega Master System, which I played for almost 4 years. Then, I jumped right to Snes, and basically became a huge Mario fan.

Then the darkness came: My father said: "Or the Snes, or a computer". Of course I wanted the computer, so he just sold my Snes to someone.

Then next console I'd have was a PS2, when I was 22-23 years old. I as just O_O, thinking: "Wow! That's how the games look like now? They're perfect!" - And I played and played like as if my life depended on that.

Recently I bought the cheapest version of the Xbox 360, as I didn't have how to buy the more "complete" version. And now, I'm investing in all the games I always wanted to have!

Beautiful story, isn't it?

My history with Silent Hill
I became acquainted with Silent Hill franchise some time after the release of the first game, through a friend. He knew is was (and still am) a huge horror movie fan, so he said I should get a PS1 and buy Silent Hill. As I said in the section above, I chose the computer instead of the PS1, so I couldn't play it. But the seed was planted.

When I got the PS2, I bought SH 2, SH 3, and SH 4, all at once. I played all those games like mad for a long, long time. Until the DVDs stopped working. That was very, very annoying. How could I lost ALL the games?

Anyways, a couple of days later, I bought them all again, and this time included SH Origins too.And this game, my friends, it just made me love even more SH. And all that just because of the CGI where alessa is leaving the hospital. That scene defines SH for me!

A little later, I bought SH:SM, and loved the game too! The plot twist just made me want more and more of that game, and even being a PS2 game, I loved the graphics.

Now that I have a Xbox 360, obviously I aimed for SH Homecoming and Donwpour. The last one was the only I got, and loved. Homecoming is very hard to find here! But I can, I WILL have the complete main games collection!

Trivia

 * I'm 1,81m, (5'9), which makes me 11cm (4,33in) above the average height in Brazil.


 * I practice Muay Thai. It's been almost 3 years since I begun. I'm now at Blue Prajied Rank. (well, I stopped about 1 and a half years ago. times change, you know?)


 * I'm a huge heavy metal fan, but more oriented to black/death metal. (well, I'm still a huge fan of metal, but now I'm much more into electronic music as well, specially drum and bass, industrial and dark ambient. I even started creating my own songs!)
 * I hate listing things. That's why you don't see a "my favorite character in SH" or a "favorite games" in my profile.
 * Since my early teens, I have severe acne problem. My face and my back have more craters than the moon.
 * I have phobia of heights and insects.
 * I'm really patriotic, even though most of Brazil's population can't even sing our national anthem correctly. Our National Anthem makes me cry every time I listen to it.
 * I'm a huge horror movie (and games) fan.
 * I have three cats and one goldfish. (well, the goldfish died some time ago, and since then, no fishs at all!)
