Well, I started my tenure on Halopedia as something of a cleanup crew. Since I got most of my Halo information from Halopedia anyways, there wasn't much I could do besides correcting spelling errors, grammar errors, inconsistencies between articles, etc. etc. I just made articles easier to read, and not much else.

Then, I got more experienced, bought a few of the novels, and started getting some actual information to contribute. It started small. I remember that several of my early articles got deleted due to notability issues.

I recently received rollback rights, so if you see any vandalism that you want help fixing, just tell me. I've also started an Adopt-a-User program on Halopedia, which is currently in the trial stage. Anyone who wants to sign up can do so either here (as an adopter) or here (as an adoptee). I hope to eventually have the program reviewed by the Administration and implemented as official Halopedia policy.

Anyone who takes more than a passing glance at my contributions will quickly note that I love making articles. Lots and lots of articles. If you do the math, more than 1/5 of my edits are new articles. In fact, as of September 16, 2010, I've currently created something like 7.955 percent of all the articles on Halopedia. I'm very proud of that.

Now, a little about myself. Before you ask, my favorite level in Halo: Reach is without a doubt Exodus. I just think that the level puts the hopeless yet heroic struggle of the UNSC in perfect perspective. Towards the end of the level, in the Falcon, the chaos and confusion as well as the frantic radio chatter playing in your ears really helps set the mood. In fact, I wrote an entire blog about it, Hindsight: Exodus.

I love the Halo novels, especially the ones by Eric Nylund. His Halo books are some of the best books I've ever read, bar none. His stories are just so well woven, and every bit fits in perfectly with the rest of the story... Well, that's my opinion. If you disagree, let me know here.

Another thing... Halo: Contact Harvest, written by Joseph Staten, is awesome. I feel awfully discouraged about my writing all of a sudden.

Yeah, I have a funny thing about writing Halo stories. All of them seem to get to the halfway mark, and then something happens to make me stop. Usually that something involves reading one of the actual Halo stories. And once I start comparing, there's no turning back. Thus, none of the Halo stories I've written have ever been finished.

Now, in context with the actual game. I always grab the sniper at the beginning of a match, and I can't play any gametype besides Team Slayer.

To tell the truth, I don't own any of the Halo games (yet). But I still love Halo. I'm still seeing whether getting Reach is worth it for me or not. I'm leaning towards yes.
