"Alright, the Great Journey ends here."

- Fred-104

Welcome to my page. I am a semi-regular editor here at Halopedia and have been a part of Halopedia since my retirement from the now-defunct Halo Nation Wikia in early 2018.

About Me
"Sam I am!"
 * I also edit at RemyWiki, another MediaWiki-based wiki that is dedicated to Konami's BEMANI franchise of arcade music rhythm games (e.g. beatmania IIDX, DanceDanceRevolution, jubeat).
 * Currently, I have permanently retired from FANDOM/Wikia. (effective March 9, 2019)
 * Favorite video game quote (in no particular order):

- Sam "Serious" Stone, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (2002)

My Contributions

 * Created some of the Easter Egg pages for Halo 4 (Incineration Cannons on Forerunner, Hidden Weapons Caches on Forerunner, Gravity Hammers on Shutdown, Secret Gravity Hammer on Midnight).
 * Created a prototype page for The Halo Experience Showcase and worked on it before the final page was published.
 * Created its Walkthrough page, again first as a prototype before publishing the final version of the page.
 * Added campaign HUD images for all of the Halo 5: Guardians weapons, including the special weapons and some turrets.
 * Created many of the gameplay subpages for articles that were missing them (e.g. Promethean Crawler, Warden Eternal, Z-180 Scattershot)
 * Added the Halo 5: Guardians campaign HUDs for the following characters:
 * Fred-104
 * Linda-058
 * John-117
 * Kelly-087
 * Olympia Vale
 * Holly Tanaka
 * Created many of the REQ variant weapon pages.
 * Created the Fred-104/Quotes page.

Other Information

 * I'm working on a Luxor: Amun Rising mod called Luxor: Halo Edition, with Nocturnal Owl Devertice Editor v2.0b (courtesy of konisbored from Sphere Matchers) used to create the paths for the maps.
 * However, I am making irregular and mostly slow progress on the mod.
 * I remade Forge Island from Halo 4 in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (using OpenRCT2).
