Favorite Halo MomentI accidentally sword flew in Uprising... but was shot out of the air. Dang Brutes.

Other stuffThe first time playing through Halo 2, I swear I made it through the door on the other side of the mausoleum without clearing the room and ended up in a deserted park area with a nonfunctional bridge. I'm also pretty sure I didn't go back the way I came, as the landscape doesn't match up. WTHalo?

About MeHi, I'm Ryan, but I prefer to be called by my username, Dragonclaws. As the name may suggest, I'm somewhat of a fantasy geek. Although, right now I'd call myself a Halo geek. I am one the admins and I was one of the original users of Halopedia.

I'm a weirdo and I take pleasure in the fact. I have a love of color, probably caused by my weak eyesight. The beauty of the world around me when I first got glasses was... staggering. You might notice many of my descriptions of things begin with color. I dream of ships as vibrant as sunset and people who change color expressively. Color... me like.

I frequently daydream of fantastic worlds. I tend to spend more time in my imagination than in real life, like Pan's Labyrinth without the freaky stuff. So, you know, nothing like Pan's Labyrinth. Maybe Bridge to Terabithia is a better example.

I am very often (like, every day) taken for a girl. This is likely due to my out-of-shape body's fat obscuring the edges of my face, as well as my use of jewelry (rings, necklace, bracelets) and long hair and fingernails. I also have very light, fine body hair and my voice never deepened that much, though I still can't replicate the Velociraptor screech like I used to. I don't really mind, though. Most guys would, but it occurs to me that they must not have a very high opinion of girls in general then.

I have been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome (high-functioning autism), a potential explanation for some of my weirdness.
