[EmptiedSkies]

Name: Matthew Hicks
Age: 18 (19 in two days)
Profession: Part-time worker and college student
Favorite Hobbies: Gaming and Music (listening and playing piano)
Favorite Halo: Reach/Halo 4
Favorite Part of Halo: Playing multiplayer to grind for levels and armor; Halo 2 campaign is the most nostalgic for me.
Fun Facts and Background: After having just graduated high school, I really miss it. Mostly because of marching band and making so many friends through that part of my life. I played marimba in the front ensemble all 4 years and it was a blast. Now-a-days, it's been hard to focus on anything outside of work and school, but I would like to have a hobby outside of gaming now that I'm not in marching band anymore. I've joined this forum in hopes of finding a new hobby that I might enjoy a lot. I've set my eyes on building an ODST armor set if I can make myself spend the money. Hopefully I can learn some new skills here; along with sharing what I learn if I can be involved with this community.

Have a great day

 

[AdAstra029]

Name: Josh
14 Years of Age (no profession, aspiring aerospace engineer).
Hobbies: Writing, programming, and recently cosplay.
Favorite part of Halo: Last mission on Halo 3, first Halo I ever played and I got to play as Arby with my dad.
Favorite Halo Game: Halo CE. Not anniversary, mind you. I like it old school.
Favorite Game: Either Mirror's Edge (the original) or Horizon Zero Dawn.
Big into Bowie, Rush, The Who, Van Halen and such.
Current project is my first (hopefully) complete cosplay, the Mjolnir MK V. I've started this project twice before, and before that I started a doomed MK VI project that didn't go very well.

Also, I'd like to mention that the Halo community is probably by far the best community I've had experience with. You guys and gals are so interesting!

Also, FYI: My username is a reference to Spartan Joshua-029, a Spartan II who served at the fall of reach and my namesake.

Favorite Hobby: Painting miniatures, writing, gaming, and slowly but surely costume building.

Something I can hopefully figure out soon enough how to go about.
