AnotherFan Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'd just like to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. As my username says, I am AnotherFan. The last time I made an account for anything Halo related was back before High School when Bungie was the talk of the town in my mind. I have a large interest in video games and majoring in Art at my local community collage. I plan on going into this industry to be, as you may know already, an artist! I first got into the Halo series back in elementary when my friend brought his copy of Halo Combat Evolved to my house. At first I thought this was just going to be another game that lacked a lot, but I was so wrong and I was so happy for it. I've continued to play through the series up until Halo 3, but then after a couple weeks of not turing on my xbox, it seemed to not work anymore. I would get the red rings and tried everything to get it to work. It would cost me $100 to have it fixed by Microsoft and that was a huge turn off for this Fan. So I've been w/o Halo for a long time and have been losing interest in the series. I wasn't even excited for the announcement of Halo 4. Sadly with a broken consol, I would miss out on Halo 4 and the continuing of the story. With that in mind, I did something that I never thought I'd do, which was watch the entire campaign of Halo 4 on Youtube. So I'm watching the campaign unfold trying to fill in some gaps in the story from pervious games that almost been forgotten. It wasn't until the very ending of Halo 4 that it plucked at my heartstrings. I could not beleive what I was seeing and hearing-the emotions that were occuring. It wasn't until then that the spark for my love of the series game back to life. So here I am on the 343 Industries forums trying to find some other fans to rant with about this awesome series. Even though my username is "AnotherFan" I don't feel like one because I feel that true fans get into the guts of a series and that includes reading the books. I, unfortunatly, have not read a single Halo book. I've been going entirely off what the games have told me. I feel that I should get into the books to fill in some unanswered questions I may not even know that I have. I'm sure some of you are shocked. I'd like to change that. Now, with this love of the series and much more deeper appreciation for what it is, I'd like to get into reading some of these books. I've looked at some on Amazon and boy there sure are a lot. I was hoping to find something that may follow the story the games have been on? I want to read each book in order. It can be out of order if it still makes sense (Like when Halo Reach came out and then Halo CE was suppose to take place). If anyone can direct me to some awesome books that are in order, please contact me here on the Forums. This greater, deeper appreciation for this series has ignited a spark that I feel will be the driving force for me on my way to landing a career in this industry. Thank you so much for reading everyone. Have a nice night. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
