About me…
Omnilion
Reviewer, Metal Gear Maniac
A child of the 80′s, Jaakko ‘Omnilion’ Ahlsten is studying English language and journalism in a tiny university in the United Kingdom. He’s a keen musician, living instrument and a music lover, who likes to play games as well. Enjoys movies, literature, friends and a good laugh
Games have been a part of his life since early childhood, including titles like Bubble Bobble, Commander Keens, Slick ‘n’ slide, etc. His first console, which was the start of a keen interest in games, was the Sony Playstation, Anno Domini 1996. Ever since games have been an integral part of his being, and later consoles include Playstation 2, PSP and Playstation 3.
His favorite gaming series, and the best series ever, is the Metal Gear-series, which has inspired his interest in voice acting, voice production, and further fueling his love for music. Other favorites include Final Fantasy games, Hitman series and Syphon Filter series.
Music on the other hand came about to him later, although he had always been surrounded by music as he is from a musical family. He took up piano in 2000 until his piano teacher moved away and decided then to make a change of instrument and ended up on the guitar in 2001 , which has stayed with him to this day. He studied at Madetoja Music high school in Oulu and Oulu Pop & Jazz conservatoire, both which had a big impact on him musically. Major influences include Ritchie Blackmore, Marzi Nyman, Tommy Emmanuel, James Taylor, Roy Book Binder and the sort. A chat about music is always welcome with this man, and G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) is always an issue. At the moment, he is in posession of one acoustic steel string and four electric guitars plus more than loud amplification.
