well, depending on what kind of parents you have. Most of them are doing it for your own good. What theres people on here whining about only being able to play for 2 hours? WOW when i played it was barely that, and then i realized, one halo 2's gonna be obsolete very very soon, and 2 i can find better things to fill up my day than play a stupid game. I must admit i was a WoW addict for a while, made it to lvl 61, but then i told myself im gonna quit, and i did, kids at school were saying, you cant do it, and you'll be back on in a week. Scary thing is this "addiction" is a very close thing to real addictions in life, if your so easily addicted to playing a game, that you spend years and years getting good, you'll look back and think, "wow, how many times did i tell my friends i couldnt hang out, cause i was playing" or "wow how many times could i have been hanging out with friends, particularly girls, and meeting new people, getting into trouble" things like that. Considering that your 14, you still have time to break this addiction, but if you dont, later down the road you'll be a prime target for other addictions such as tobacco products. Another thing id like to add, is that when i was playing, my school work dramatically dropped, and i started getting bad grades, because i was more focused on playing the game, than finishing my homework. Now it has cost me, yea id love to just plug in and say -blam!- homework, im gonna play... But theres a requirment that you must have, a GPA to get into the college im going to. So either pay attention in school, and save the xbox or any other video games for the weekends, and do all homework during the week... Or get through life mediocere... Your choice, and i, being 17 now understand why my parents said, no xbox during school, sure in a year ill be outta here, make my own rules, drink anytime i want, come home wasted when ever, hang out till 4... But thats still time that i must wait...So untill then kid, id say tough it out.. and when your 18th birthday rolls around, you can say "-blam!- you guys, im doing what i want with my life"...and it seems that you want to do halo, so go right ahead....

Dam, sorry for all the people that are gonna look at this, pretty much made a wall of text... Hope i got my point across

"The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup but knowing Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep."

A large thank you to all the parents that restrict play time. To all the racist homophobes though the parentals need to do more monitoring and Bungie needs to do more for that matter.

My parents suck because they think i cant do anything.They make ALL these predictions about my playing time when i was like 10 and i dont think they grasp that im older(14) and more responsible. They say "oh,you can be good at math if you tried as hard on your Vidya Games" or some other bull-Blam!-.
So when i get older im moving somewhere FAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR away so i can do what i want when i want(because i never know how or what they will do to me next. I mean 30 minutes isnt a lot and i only got a total of 1hr30min last week because of HW and Football practice.I really dont think they get it because the games we play now are better than controling a fat yellow ball making it eat little dots on a huge azz machine.One of my school friends gets unlmt. play and hes taking High school math and going to the Hiogh school for math in 8th grade.What does that say to me...It says it doesn't matter how much you play your gifts are your gifts. No matter how bad you wanna be something or how hard you try you cant because that isnt your area of talent. You know Id be happy being single,11 bucks an hour,all 40 hrs a week so i get paid every week at Best Buy or somewhere with just as good of pay.

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.
