Subject: A Gamer Grows Up (Better Late then Never)

Well, this is quite late, but unfortunately, I havent really been an active member of the bungie.net community. But one of my friends suggested I post it over here as well.

However, for those of you familier with the many halo based fan-produced media out there, one of the main catagories is the montage.

Now before you quit reading and close the thread - believe me, this is not a typical montage/fragvid. Awhile back H3F posted a montage contest, and although it was my first montage, because of the support and appreciation of viewers, I was able to make 2nd place.

This montage is about various things, and was made for entertainment, but also as a reflection on my years of enjoyment with a spectacular game. As Ive told many people, the first 4 minutes is my mediocre harcore play, but after that - originality, fun, variety, and basically pure entertainment.

The average rating for this video for awhile was about 9.2 - 9.4 out of 10. There have been 19,000 downloads on H3F, and about 9,000 on youtube. I say this not as bragging, but simply to emphasize that a nice number of people enjoy it.

Also, yes, the final song is me, and yes I made it myself. I wanted a song specifically about halo, my experiences with it, and how fun it was and can still possibly be for alot of you.

I figure as H3 is upon us, many people might hopefully be able to relate to this as an end of one era, and starting another - because basically in life, sooner or later everyone has to face this.

Thank you for watching, hope you enjoy:

With a thread title like that I was expecting a large rant about how the halo community sucks and we are all imature jerks and should -blam!- off. I like montages (some at least). I will check yours out.

Thats one of the best montages i,ve seen. Some sweet plays but you don't take it too seriously.

When you stuck the kid in snipe 2 I almost burst a blood vessel from laughter.
Congrats man and the song at the end was good too which is more than I can say for the other halo raps/songs.

This montage shows what halo is all about, not winning but the effing hilarious moments you get en route.

Once again nice one

My favorite montage by far! I loved the goldeneye part, It brought back so many memories! Great job man.

  • 05.21.2007 9:30 AM PDT

It was ok. I hate rap / hiphop so it didn't have that driving feeling that most good montages have.

  • 05.21.2007 9:52 AM PDT

Lawlz, I loved the "GEt your ice cream" part. Lol.

And the ice cream man song. :)

  • 05.21.2007 9:54 AM PDT

For those on here that don't know, this montage won a montage contest on H3F. He won like 600 or more bucks, can't remember the exact amount. He beat alot of well known people, but I think he deserved it. Goood job!

I watched a little over half of it, but I'll be sure to watch the rest when I get off work. That was a really cool montage... nice job.

  • 05.21.2007 1:17 PM PDT

Teamwork means staying out of my way.

Too bad that this video is based on a lie. One last shout out before you leave? What are you talking about? The vid was posted in November and you're STILL playing.

Too bad;
Halo 2 sucks and your poor if your not playing Halo 3
Rap is garbage..Jay-Z? Cmon now
Halo 2 is for n00bies.

Thanks to all of the positive comments.

And no, Im no longer a teacher - Ive landed a training position in the corporate world. So while its not the same as teaching, it is more money and likable : )

For those of you who want the song, and answers to alot of the questions concerning me, I made a thread awhile back on H3F:

http://www.halo3forum.com/showthread.php?t=103917

Thanks for the private messages and appreciation. Also thank you for the criticism. Esp the one about the sound volume and how it can be inconsistent. I'll keep that in mind if I decide to go thru with a project.

Thanks again.
