I'm Watching You

I went to my cousin's house back when Halo 2 just came out and all they had was Halo: Combat Evolved. I was young and didn't understand a lot of the things about the game. Just the fact that I was beating my then 13-21 year old cousins in multiplayer. I then started to actually play...starting from going Halo PC-to Halo 2 on the 360...to Halo 3 on the 360.

This is directed to * xshaddyps2.

You were 5? That makes you now...like 10 years old right? Oh my GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!! A SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK-blam!--blam!-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!! !!!

I think I just saw the PC game in a store one day, got intrigued by the sci-fi treatment of a shooter, and seem to remember I told myself I actually never owned any FPS before. I bought it, played it... and again... and again... and again.

That's my story with Halo CE.

I currently am working on Halo Wars achievements. 4 to go.
I currently am working on Halo 2 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3:ODST achievements.
I currently have all Halo: Reach achievements.

I was introduced to Halo CE in fourth grade. A friend of mine told me about it. It didn't sound so great, but a year later or so, I found the game at my sister's teammate's house. I put it in the Xbox and played it. It was so much fun and I wanted to finish the game, because the story was interesting. Later, a few month's after, my mom at random, buys Halo for the Xbox. Turns out, my parents were hiding an Xbox from me when my Grandma sent it to us.

Man, Halo was so much fun with co-op or multiplayer. Then I got Halo 2 and so on...

Our destiny is not frightful because it is unreal, it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river. It is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger. It is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.

My friend actually threw Halo CE at me, I looked at it, looked at him, and threw it back. It hit him in the glasses! It was classic. I have NEVER played Halo CE.

  • 01.24.2009 9:16 AM PDT

Dude. You really need to play it. It might be classic, but it really is the best gameplay.

I have been to LAN parties, but I wasn't "into" Halo so I wouldn't play.

  • 01.24.2009 11:59 AM PDT

That's not what I meant. What I did mean, was try the Campaign a bit.

If you don't want to, that's fine, but it gives the best gameplay experience. If you played Halo 2 or Halo 3 Campaigns, this puts them both to shame.

R.I.P. Halo 2

It was the summer after 5th grade and one of my best friends (who is also my neighbor) said that his cousin was moving into the neighborhood, and he had the really fun game that was rated M (OH EM GEEZ!!!) and it was called Halo. Then his cousin came over and invited us to go play Halo, so we go over there and he had a rule that if you did not have a profile on his Xbox, he gets to choose the name, and guess what he chose, B( )B and today 6 years later I am still using the name.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

I've been working up in the oil and gas industry in Calgary, Canada as a Mech. Engineer for awhile now and things have gone from boom to bust pretty bad.

Recently switched to this company within the past year while the going was good (bad move in retrospect I guess). It's a large enough company that was growing but within the past couple months it's only been brought in about 1/3 of the projects that they were expecting and just on Fri lost a big one and now they are t-blam!- the fat. It didn't help that I'd been on overhead waiting (ie sitting on my thumb for 1-1/2 months).

I and they were pretty cool about it, the HR lady was even like "sometimes I escort people out but you seem cool, so leave when you're ready".

I had been planning on flying home on Thurs for a 2 week Xmas vacation anyways so the timing isn't awful, just worried about the new year. -blam!-.

Think I'll drink this day off and see what tomorrow brings.
Cool, I live in Calgary.


I was introduced to Halo when I got my Xbox when it came out in I think it was 2001. I was picking the Console up when one of the guys from Wal-Mart said Halo was the best game for the Xbox. I gave in and bought it. That night I finished it on Heroic (I hadz skilz amazingg) and I got all my friends to come over and try this neat game. They, after they tried it, bought an Xbox console and Halo. My thoughts on the sequels were OK.

There was a demo? How do I not remember that? Wait, a playable demo or a demo other play and you have to watch at E3 or something.


A demo came with (I think) The first Official Xbox Magazine. One of the first ones, at least.

Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

Well, a few years back, I got an original xbox; basicly my first experiance with videogames.I had no idea what games to get, so I settled on star war episode 3 and star wars battlefront. Battlefront was good, episode 3, not so much. Anyway, my cousin who lives right next o me followed suit and got an xbox a month later. Somehow he also aquired a box of games for it. We tried a bunch of them, and one day he calls me and sais I have to come down because he found the best game ever. I came down, played "halo" (the level), coop, and was hooked. The graphics, music, sounds, story, weapons, vehicles, enemies, everything.

We didn't play right through it, but a few days later he calls me and is like "dude! You have to see this! I was playing on this level and...there's these...sock things! They killed all the marines and I don't want to let them touch me becuase i think I'll die if one touches me but they're EVERYWHERE!. Holy blam! There's big ones! *static*"
Thus i was introduced to the flood. The rest is history. I got halo 1 and 2 for xbox, and have never stopped playing them.
