Hello, I am Bubba. I was referred to the site by my friend Chris, who is another recent member. I am fairly experienced in forum use and was one of two admins at Halo Haven during its 3 month life span. I love Halo beyond belief and strive to know as much about the canon as possible. I've read all 6 mainstream Halo novels at least twice with the exceptions of First Strike, which I've only read once. I have yet to read Evolutions but plan to do so soon. Thus far, I have made a goal not to fail a weekly challenge on Reach, and have succeeded. I've been a forger since Halo 3, which I was a time I had really grown to like the feature. At first it was simple, with only a few options. Having come from Halo Custom Edition, on PC, the customization was fairly disappointing. But when Foundry came out things changed. Knowing that I had no "Modding Skills" or the like, I realized that Foundry provided me a place to unleash my creativity without needing complex skills and tools. I took to the Forge and became an avid mapmaker. I filled up all hundred available slots quite quickly, and in time had to clean it up as Sandbox was hinted at. During the Foundry days I learned several of the old Forge tricks like Fusing objects and Infinite Explosions and instant Respawn. But maps took time. It could be challenging. There really wasn't that much space available, and soon I realized Sandbox would change my forging forever. I was right. With Sanboxes release I plunged head-first into the Forge. I created maps such as Space Battle and a Left 4 Dead style map. I knew how great the forge was and saw little room for improvement. But Bungie unveiled Forge World, and once again I stood in awe. All my tricks that formerly made me a "Talented Forger" were now made available for the masses... and more importantly, easier for us. No longer did we have to "Start New Round" or Push objects as close to the walls as we could, now we could Phase freely. And here I am... Forge World. I officially entered the Forgetacular contest with Stronghold, an Invasion map I posted on here as well. I would love to see it in matchmaking but... I have my doubts. Sorry for the Rant about my Forge career... other than that... I am primarily a PC gamer, having originally bought an Xbox for the sole purpose of playing Halo 3. I've played Video games since I was 3, having started with Age of Empires I. I admit to being a Graphics guy... if I game is new with bad graphics, I probably will be biased toward it. I attend a group called Nerd Club. Its great. I enjoy Mass Effect, and feel it is one of the best games around behind Halo. I like Call of Duty and will be Buying Black Ops on PC when it releases. I think that concludes negotiations. Thanks for reading.
Welcomez. You is liked because you talked to me in lolbox. That could be considered a good or a bad thing, dependant on your nature and your opinions on me. P.S. COD SUCKS. P.S.S. Brb, checking out ye map. P.S.S.S.S. Nerd Club.. really? What's that? :O Ohai kai bai.
It makes me feel good to be liked already. I felt it would be a good move to try and fit into the community instead of just sitting around waiting for the community to want me. Thanks for helping me get accustomed here. As for the first Post Script, I'm sorry you feel that way, It's much better on PC than console. If they released Reach on PC, I'd have it there... and I kinda knew on a Halo Site most people wouldn't like CoD... For the Second PS. Thank you so much for exploring my map. I really want to know if people like it. And the Final PS. Nerd Club... Ah Nerd Club. I'm 17, and a group of my friends from school meet at a guy named Luke's house. He is a home-schooled GENIUS who hosts us graciously every Tuesday. Generally, we play Super Smash Bro's Brawl (The only good Wii Game ever), Halo Reach (When someone brings an Xbox), and LARP. Yes, like from Role Models. I always get that response. Live Action Role Play. Surprisingly, more people are more interested in it, rather than ridiculing me for it. But we don't dress up. We have Boffers (PVC Pipe wrapped in Pool Noodle and Duct Tape) that we use for weapons, and have an organized system with Health, Armor, and Actual Gametypes. I recreated Luke's House on Forge, almost to perfection if you'd like to see it. I've also made the gametype Ghoul, which is one we play. I might add it later so you can see. Which on that topic, can I upload a map here, but take it off my fileshare? I need all 6 spaces for the Forgetac Contest... Once Bungie gives us VIP back, I will create the Princess Escort gamemode from our LARP as well.
