this question does not apply to people over 20


That excludes about 98% of the Septagon population. I'm over 20, but I act like I'm 13, so I will answer your question. Halo will live in my heart and soul for all of time.......like teh herps, Halo is forever.

Well seeing as I am younger, yes. I'm legally able to own it now, but when the first Halo came out I wasnt. The story can kinda give you hope when you are down, and it really help me get past a bunch of difficult times in my life. Not just because it provides an escape, but because the story is inspiring. So yes, Halo will be remembered when I look back later in life at my childhood.

I don't view them as just games anymore. But not in any overly commital way. Due to the novels, and the ARGs, and the communities forged in it's name, I believe one can safely say that the Halo universe is more than 'just a game.'

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

What do you mean by that "just a game" rhetoric anyway? Yeah, it's a game. What of it?

I'd vote "No, it's just a game", but I know that certain other games (from Bungie, specifically) WILL be remembered for the rest of my life, for the hours upon hours that I played them.

Halo's nice, but not that nice.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Let's see... I don't know if my freshman year of highschool counts as "childhood", but I'll certainly have memories. System link parties were some of the most fun I had during high school.

I kinda have no choice due to how young I was when I started playing Halo: Combat Evolved.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I am well over 20, but I can give you some general impressions. I certainly hope that Halo is in the childhood memories of anyone who grew up with these games. I have lots of happy childhood memories of playing video games that were, at the time, amazing video games in their own right. Sitting at home with the chicken pox (do people even get that anymore?), happily playing Super Mario Brothers 1 and 2 and Zelda; playing Duke Nukem 1 and Wolfenstein 3D in my parents' basement in middle school; Duke Nukem 3D in the last couple years of high school, in between football, swimming, and phone conversations with girls; online Quake 1 fragmatches in the first year of college where we'd get the whole dorm involved; and so on. It sure seems like it would make sense for people who are growing up now to have memories of playing the Halo games.

The Halo series happened fully while I was an adult, with the first game coming out after I was already out of college. But I was hooked immediately, as was the rest of the country. And I know that even though I have good memories about playing the game, there is nothing quite so happy or peaceful as a good childhood memory. So I hope that anybody here who is under 20 will not feel too silly in cherishing these memories of playing the Halo series. At the least, they sure do provide a good frame of reference for other good memories :-)

The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

For me too. I'm only 18 years old though.
My best memories comes from playing Zelda: Ocarina of time, and of course, Halo <3

Yes, LAN parties will be one thing that was and still is, a fun part of my high school years. Not just because of Halo though, mostly because of Hookah and ladies. ;)

Ah, the memories.

You say tomato; I say potato.

I think my memories will be of hanging out with my brother and friends while playing Halo, eating a gorillas' body weight of pizza, and drinking litterally gallons of soda. Man, I miss LAN parties.

ha... when I first read it, I never considered that I wasn't one of the young people he was directing this at. I even thought it was funny that he* would consider his high school years to be his childhood memories. It dawned on me a while later that although I fit his criteria, I only squeak in by about six months, and that I was a bit older than he was probably considering. Interesting to realize that you've grown out of one demographic and into another.

Look ma, I'm a grown boy. :/ Reminds me of a G4 TV episode where they talked about all these old outdated cartoons that no children had ever heard of... then went on to mention the ones I used to watch every day.
