Every other Monday, we feature an individual who is a positive and active member of the Halo community. This week the spotlight turns to Snickerdoodle!

Question: What’s your gamertag and its origin?

Answer: I’m actually on my second gamertag. My original gamertag was a spin off a nickname I got in high school but I was wanting some change. I like baking and snickerdoodles are a personal favorite so “snickerdoodle” seemed like a good idea. My service tag is a throwback to my original tag so it’s still a part of me. 🙂

Q: Tell us about the first time you played Halo.

A: Haha oh man…So my dad had just come home from one of his deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan or somewhere and he’d played Halo downrange. My cousin got an Xbox for Christmas and my dad made me play some Combat Evolved with him and I was not a fan. I HATED it. I dreaded when dad would say “Hey, time to play some Halo!” because it just wasn’t fun for me.

Then I realized inverted controller settings were a thing and it was like a switched was flipped. Suddenly those endless games on Hang ’em High weren’t unbearable anymore. I could aim without trying to shoot myself in the feet or wildly the sky.

PS – I blame Goldeneye for my inverted settings. A girl never forgets her first FPS.
