I woke up one day not knowing that i would meet the love of my life on halo. After a few beers i decided it was time to pwn some noobs lol. I was feeling good and i started playing a 1vs 1 game against this girl. after every kill i would teabag her. she like it. i could hear her sweet voice coming thru my speakers as i was teabaging her face and yelling. "you want some of THIS, YOu remember THAT" lol. anyways. at some point i picked up the rocket launcher and totally blew her away LOLOLOL. GET IT?!!!!

so the game ended and i totally raped her. GET THAT ONE?!!!! So we started talking and her voice was like nothing i had heard before. It was like Bacon and Eggs on my ice cream. i loved every second of it. i decided a few days later it was time for me to take her out on a date. turns out she lived to far away so i planned a halo date. I picked her up at 7 with a warthog at the front gates of zanzibar. i then drove her to the beach to chill and talk. i then pulled it out. I had bought her a needler. she liked it. i was drunk. it was -blam!-. so we kept playing for the next year and i realized it was time for us to meet in RL. (thats Real Life you noobs).

so i got a ticket to antartica(i dont know how to speellll lol) nubz. i finally got off the plane and turns out the love of my life was a 12 years old guy. All this time i thought it was a girl cuz i was drunk and -blam!-. god damn. im never goign to play halo again. by the way the kid's name was ltw Fatal01 . lol. you nub. hoope you enjoyed ,.-blam!- kids

During the Halo 2 days where we can have a Clan list, a buddy of mine stated he will always be an overload and never be dethrowned. This annoyed us because we were just Staff members and never anything higher then that.

So one sunny afternoon day on August 3, 2005... we went over to his house on our lunch break. Broke into the living room and made us all overlords of the clan.

Not only did it end a friendship, it was well worth it.

My boyfriend and I met on Halo 2 in 2005. We were both members of another online community. I read his post and he read mine but we were not really friends. One day others in the community organized a game night and we all jumped on to play some Halo 2 customs. TripKDragon was there, I had never played with him but knew from others posts on the forums that he was pretty brutal to play against. Being the only pink master cheif in the room and the only one that seemed to ever be killed by him I teased that he was out to get the pink guy and he insisted that was not the case and we continued to play and joke. I added him to my list and we began to chat through the forum's private messages and later their IRC channel. I had been in and out of other relationships and Trip was always there to make me smile when one of those other relationships ended. When my mom was in the hospital and very sick I turned to him and he made me feel better. On his birthday in May of 06 I sent him a personal card I had made with his Halo Avitar on it and wrote a nice letter. Two days later he asked for advice on what he should say to a female friend that he liked. I told him to just tell her and two hours later he sent me a message telling me it was me. :) We have been together ever since. Thank goodness for the XBox Live Vision camera, Halo and World of Warcraft because I lived in Colorado and he in Connecticut. We flew back and forth every other month and then in February of 07 I moved to Connecticut to be with him. We plan to get married when he is out of school and move our life back to Colorado.

Needs moar posts like this



Roughly two years ago, my romantic life was in shambles. I had been friends with a girl for a long time and I had always wanted more but didn't want to "pressure" her into making any decisions she didn't want to make (this basically translates to me being an insufferable bore in any part of my life that didn't pertain to her). I stopped hanging out with a lot of my friends in order to spend more time with this girl, and things just kept getting worse. I had definitely made a home in the "friend zone."

This went on for quite awhile; she would call me asking for a favor and I would drop everything and tend to her needs, only to get a semi-enthusiastic "thank you" in return. The sad part is I did not mind being this "good samaritan." I thought that if I only stuck with it long enough, she would eventually come around to me and we would become more than just friends. Unbeknownst to me, this would never happen, and all I was doing was losing the people who actually cared about me due to the aforementioned times that I would ditch my friends to hang out with her.

To my credit, I was younger then. I didn't understand the concept of people using each other for personal gain. I thought she was asking me these favors because she liked me, not because she just liked me doing things for her. I admit, when it came to the game of love, I was a slow learner. When this girl's selfish and cruel ways finally became apparent to me, it was all but too late. I had lost several of my friends, and even my family was upset with me over the way I had been acting. One of the few things I had left was Halo.

I started playing even more frequently than I already had been. I would play 4 or 5 hours every night before bed, which eventually led to me dreaming about Halo while I slept, and I started instinctively waking up in the middle of the night to play it as well. I found that while I played Halo, all my pain went away. This girl that had hurt me so bad did not matter in the world of Halo. As long as I was playing the game, she was nothing, and therefore my personal anguish was nothing as well. I started playing more and more, each day it seemed that I played 1 more match than I had the day before, until it got to the point where I did nothing except play Halo. I couldn't stop.

One Saturday afternoon my parents came into my room to tell me it was time for dinner. When they turned on the light, they were shocked to discover that I had literally fallen asleep with my eyes open while playing Halo. I still had the controller in my hands and the game was still playing, but I wasn't moving and my eyes were bloodshot and my cheeks were streaked with tears and my mom got scared and said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air! I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby "yo home smell you later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there to settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

Halo Blends


"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -- Albert Einstein

Let’s see, my real life story about halo?
*Warning: Wall Of Text Ahead.*

Before Halo: Combat Evolved came out for the Xbox, I had no idea what a first person shooter was. I couldn’t get enough of it, I thought to myself “how do they make things happen in games like this ?”. This question eluded me until around 8th grade when I found out about a computer programming class that I could take when I reached the junior level in my high school. Last year(my sophomore year) I decided to inquire about the class, my big question was “What will I learn in this class?”. I received a booklet that explained the class, “Students will use the methodology of structure programming to write programs to achieve well-defined goals. The programming language used will be C++.” , I love challenges and this programming language called C++ sounded like a good one. My first day there, our teacher said that C++ is used often in video game programming. The moment she spoke those words, I knew that I had made a good choice. I worked hard on all of the assignments given and sure enough I passed with an A+. This was only a one semester long class, so I have now decided to take the next level, Advanced Computer Science. I love it. I think Halo has provided me with a dream. That dream is to one day, have the knowledge to call myself a developer. This is a very special gift you have given me Bungie, and for that I thank you.

got into late, really late. we got halo 2 spring 2007 and became hooked. my sister and i played it more than gears of war, staying up days at times to perfect our attacks and generally explore every facet of the amazing story. maybe it was sleep-deprivation, but the campaign really inbedded itself in the emotional center of my brain. i got to know my sister a lot better through our time playing together and appreciated these other sides of her personality. you don't have any idea how hilarious we can be after 22 hours of playing and 2 hours being lost in the damn snow cave at the end. (cue the constant respawns just as you found your way out). eventually, we moved to multiplayer and got owned, naturally. still, it was nice to take so much abuse and finally reaching that point where we just go crazy and completely destroy everybody in 1-2matches, regardless of rank. no skills, just aggro button mashing. halo2 and then halo became rituals, reasons to see one another and catch up while we were doing it. she actually liked those arbiter missions, but i didn't see the point. my girlfriend called it early on that arbiter and chief were going to team up, halo 2 was an extended setup for that.
my sister moved to ct to go to school right before halo3 came out. first time away from home and the baby of the family. we promised to play online from our houses 2000 miles apart and were so upset that co-op campaign was initially announced as only being local. it seemed i'd have to finish the fight with my girlfriend, a better player all around, but too much like me, careful, and not as fun. nobody ever falls off the same cliff so much when we play, it's just po-faced headshots. so the late news of online co-op brought light again, and the game comes out, both of us got legendary editions, we both had butterflies, she was basically the arbiter, (it's the eyes and awkwardness), and i the chief). red ring of death for her on sep24 and 2 months of waiting for her to get her xbox back, while everyone else finished the fight. we finally finished on thanksgiving, once again, after everybody else. we keep playing, it's xmas, but already marty's music makes me sad and nostalgic for a time that hasn't even passed yet. i anticipate looking back on my sister and i finally growing up and bonding with the halo story and it's emotional themes as the backdrop. and my girlfriends' fondness for cortana and similar role in my life (years in my head, barking orders),--all this--it's impossible to seperate the bonds between my family, life, love and the much more than just a video game work of art that is the halo world. could be just sleep deprivation though, but only other game has created such emotion. (that would be vice city, sunrise, too tired to play, purple sky, kate bush "wow" on the radio and some dead air just as the sun creeped over the oceanline).
watching all the conclusion and so many characters die was like watching the end of another chapter, a bittersweet reminder of the constant transience of life.

Ok lol i didnt meet my "true love" in halo, nor did I find any love at all for that matter. But I did meet one of my closest friend through Halo2. It was in like 3rd grade and to make a long story short...we both found that we like halo =D

  • 01.04.2008 3:53 PM PDT

Me and my g/f play Halo every day, and we've become so in-sync with each other than we do the same things at the same exact time and know where each other is on the map without saying a word to each other. It's kind of scary actually. We go back and watch the vid of us and so many times we're attacking the same place, at the same time, the same way - from flanking positions. Then of course the, "omg, girls shouldn't play Halo," chants in the postgame lobby" chants.

My boyfriend and I met though Halo/Bungie.net!
Paulster 5315 is my bf, by the way!
During the summer of 2007 we met for the first time! While there, we drove around Redmond and the Microsoft campus. And I think we even drove by Bungie. But we didn't try to bug you guys! Hehe.
Anyways, if it weren't for Halo I never would have been able to have met this wonderful person! =)

Well, I joined a clan about 2 years ago and we have vacations every summer where we meet up for a week at some place we think will be fun. Everyone flies in from all over the country and we lan it up and hit the town, doing our thing. It really is a great time.

This is a pretty crazy one... But, here goes nothing.

I had gotten on Halo 2 on Xbox Live, and there was a girl who really hit it off with me, and apparently went to my school, we met up with eachother and have been going out since May of 2007. :D

And no, she isn't really a Halo *FREAK* but she does like it.

i actually met my current house-mates over the campus network playing halo 2... i didn't own an xbox at the time, but played on friends boxes on my freshman floor... i was Buddha, and played against god and death (which, of course, led to philosophical dilemmas when say god killed death, since, well, what does that mean?)... despite not owning a box, i was good enough to keep up with them, and maybe a year or two later, i found out that one of my best friends was dating snake, who was living with god and death... long story short: despite being good friends and living with these guys now, i'm still usually called Buddha in our house (which i can't say i'm not a fan of)...

another interesting story: before halo 3 came out, i was playing halo 2 more and more on live, and there was a game on midship where i did *terrible* because my only goal of the game was to get in proximity of this one player on the other team to try to talk with him, since i thought recognized his gamertag... at some point he heard me, so postgame he was asking why i kept trying to get his attention... well, like i said, i thought i recognized the tag, and it turns out i was right: in a random matchmaking game, i was paired up with a guy i used to work with and hadn't seen or heard from in over a year and a half, probably longer... since then, halo's been a nice way to keep in touch...

I met my husband playing Halo 2, back in 2005. We were in the same clan but had never played together. One night I was on later than my usual 6am and he signed on. I just had to play with him cause how many guys do you see with pink as their color and a smiley face as their emblem? Oh snap he wasn't -blam!- after all!...lmfao We actually got along really well so we kept playing together. It turned into an all night every night thing. For months no relationship or anything of the sort was mentioned. Then one night we were just messing around on Coag and he pulled up next to me in a Warthog and said "hop in babe". That's when I realized that maybe he was thinkin the same thing I was. By May 05 we were making plans for a visit and it turned out to be a permanant one for me. I lived in the states and he lived in Canada. Now we both live in Canada and have multiple 360's in our home. Try putting "met playing Halo 2" on your immigration application...lol It does complicate things a little bit but it all works out in the end. Our wedding cake was the best. I custom painted the 3" spartans to match our in-game colors and added custom decals. They were the toppers on our wedding cake :D

We've also made quite a few good friends playing Halo 2. Our buddy in Calgary flew in for our wedding, it was the first time we met him in person. These are folks we talk to on a daily basis and we're all pretty involved in each other's lives. We don't play so much anymore cause we're all busy with real world stuff but our friendships have expanded far beyond Xbox Live.

It's all pretty strange thinking back on it. I'm not the type of chick that logs on and gets all social. I've been playing games since 1984 and collecting as well. I never log on looking for so much as friends. I log on to play and to win. It is quite fitting for a game collector to meet their spouse playing games. It's kinda funny though. Video games really aren't my hubby's thing. The only ones he plays is Halo series. He has about 5 games in his "personal collection" where as I have over 1500 *shrug*

My mum plays too. She'll be 64 at the end of the month. She has Parkinson's Disease and the doctors say that video games are actually good therapy for Parkinson's patients. She isn't very good at Halo but she mops the floor with me when it comes to puzzle games.

Actually, Halo LANs have played a big part of my social life. Most of my best friends are the guys I play Halo with. I went to high school with all of them, but I probably wouldn't have started hanging out with them if all of us didn't play Halo. I started going to LANs in the later days of Halo: CE and I'm still going. I wouldn't count it as a first love, but my first kiss was at a LAN with my friend's sister.

I am in the U.S. Army. My entire floor in the barracks plays Halo 3 online. we use the headsets to communicate orders with each other and we use squad tactics to win the game. Halo 3 is a great team building tool for us because none of us hang in the same crowd but when online we are all one like in the Army. Hooah!

I hate dial up

Halo 2 is what gave me my love for the xbox and xbox live.

without it, I would still bitterly hate the xbox and the 360.

Halo 2 opened my eyes... and also brought the only fun thing that the xbox had, an amazing, exclusive game.

without the Halo series, xbox would have been doomed to fail.
