Geek Couples #11 – Petroeshka (ViXN Neko) & Mario

Konichi wa! My name is ViXN!

Let me introduce myself. I’m Petroeshka a.k.a. ViXN Neko! In this big wide world I am nothing but an unimportant amoebe, so let me give you a chance to get a little bit more acquainted with me. Many people ask me where my roots lie. Let me tell ya’ll how that mix went down: an Indonesian dad + a Surinam mom = me! So yeah… I am what they call a “blasian” or “jampa”. At the moment I am 30 years old. I am originally from Utrecht but nowadays I live in Eindhoven. I work as a Marketing Communications Specialist (fulltime office day job) and as an Audiovisual Production Operator in the festival and in the theater world. But there is so much more to me than just that.

Geek Couples #9 – Sakuraflor & Karel

written by Gast Blogger

Life is a game and true love is a trophy

Before I start talking about being a ‘geek couple’, let me introduce myself first. My name is Sakuraflor. Though people mostly call me Saku. I am 24 years old and I am half Dutch and half Spanish. I am an artist who is specialized in three different art styles, which are: chibi, manga and semi-realism. Next to that, I am a diehard cosplayer also know as Sakuraflor. But more about that later! I’ve been gaming since I was little, always being the Luigi to my older sister’s Mario. Gradually I started playing more on PC and I kinda got stuck on that.

Marvel’s Infinity Stones and their tremendous power (Spoiler Alert)

written by Gast Blogger

After watching the Doctor Strange movie in the cinema, Marvel’s 14th movie, I just had to write about it. The movie was strangely amazing, even though I thought it was going to be really shitty. I am not a huge fan of all comic movies and some of them out there are seriously bad. *cough*… Batman VS Superman…*cough*. But this one was pretty cool. The cinematics were great. And no, I didn’t watch it in 3D, otherwise I would have a headache for the rest of the month.

My Experience at DreamHack Winter 2016

written by Gast Blogger

DreamHack Winter 2016 was absolutely fabulous! It was my first international Lan party and I was blown away. Sitting in the bus and travelling 14 hours from the Netherlands to Sweden really paid off. When we finally arrived at Jönköping, at the convention center Elmia, I eagerly looked for my Lan spot with the rest of the gang. If you haven’t slept for a long time you would be happy to have found it too. I was only thinking about gaming, networking, having fun, spending money and watching e-sports.

Geek Couples #8 – Ingrid & Hendrik

written by Gast Blogger

How it all began

This is a story about us, Ingrid & Hendrik. Let me take you back to 2009, where our story began. This was a time when World of Warcraft was at a peak of it’s popularity. I, Ingrid, was in my early 20’s and suffering from depression. I had stopped going to school, quit my job, slowly lost contact with old friends and my life consisted out of sleeping and playing World of Warcraft. The only time I would go outside was to do groceries and sometimes to go out to a bar were I’d drink so much I would almost pass out. Not the best time to meet the love of your life, but somehow I did anyway. And at the moment I didn’t even know it yet!

Sakuraflor at BlizzCon

written by Gast Blogger

To be honest, when we got invited to go to BlizzCon 2016 it was like a dream come true: ‘Sakuraflor at BlizzCon!’ It was definitely an event which was on all of our bucketlists. So getting a chance to go there was really insane. We didn’t even really know what to expect. It’s an International con and on top of that, it’s one of the biggest ones in the United States. So we went there with zero expectations.

Geek Couples #7 – Heather & Sammy

The long-distance relationship between two gamers

My name is Heather, I’m 29 years old and I’m here to tell you about my geeky love story. But first, let me give you some background information. I didn’t start gaming on consoles like alot people out there. My actual first encounter with gaming was in an arcade – more specifically, with Street Fighter and Pac-Man. After that, I found out about DOSgames and started playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64 at a friends house. I’ve written for a lot of gaming websites (for over 7 years now) and currently I still do so sometimes.

Geek Couples #6 – Joy & Vic

written by Gast Blogger

Once upon a time…

You know what they say: “Couples that play together, stay together.” If that’s correct, then we are heading towards a long and happy life together. Because even our love began in-game! Well… ‘game’ might be a little exaggerated. 11 years ago when I, Joy, was 12 years old and my boyfriend Vic was 14 years old (back in the glorious MSN-age) we met each other on Habbo Hotel (Yes…I’ll wait until you’re done laughing).

Geek Couples #5 – Marjolein & Harmen

written by Gast Blogger

A not so romantic beginning for Marjolein & Harmen.

Hello! My name is Marjolein and I’m going to tell you how I met my boyfriend Harmen. Let’s start off by saying that we met in a not so romantic way. I had broken up with my last boyfriend a while ago and decided to hit the dating market again. And as a house mouse nerd, I decided to try out Tinder. Because hey, what could go wrong, right? Sure, I met lots of weirdos, but I also met lots of cuties. And after a few months I connected with Harmen. This is where our story began.

Geek Couples #4 – Samantha & Kelian

written by Gast Blogger

Plumbers are red, Hedgehogs are blue, Press start to join, And be my player two!

God, I wish it was that easy! Just clicking that start button and magical nerd love appears! Yay! You beat Diablo together in no time, Call of Duty becomes a daily thing, watching anime series becomes your life and before you know it seasons seem to fly by in what only feels like a few days. And last but not least, you become a badass couple who can do martial arts together, like those awesome moves you see in Avatar or in the Streetfighter games.
