Well, time for a short (perhaps long for some people) story that will fill your brains with hopeful shock.
Way back in November, 2001, when the original Xbox first released, my older brother went to the convention center near our location where the consoles were first getting sold. He told me it was jam-packed, consistently loud, and just overall amazing.
Guess what? Hopefully you all knew what came along as a number one selling hit on the first day of the Xbox release, right? Halo: CE! Halo was released the same day the original Xbox was released. November 15th, 2001.
When he came home about 5 hours later, it was about 5:00 AM in the morning, and I was laying on my bed waiting to play the damn console, heh heh. He came home with an Xbox, four controllers, and one game, Halo: CE.
We both played Halo: CE's fantastic campaign first on Normal, and didn't turn off the console until we official beat it, which took about 6-8 hours overall. We were both tired, happy, and worn out as hell, but we both agreed that that was one of the best games we ever played.
Man I miss those old days...
