So, Bungie day is less than 3 hours away... and I'm not going to sleep. I'm sure many others are trying to find a way to do this, but browsing Ebay, Google'ing random things (Samuel Jackson) gets boring, I figured I'd make this just to countdown till Bungie day, and talk about the past 20 years.


[Or I just broke a rule, It's gonna get locked, and I'll be sad]

Begin.


I started playing this game, HCE, when I was 3. I couldn't do much, 'cept walk backwards, shoot the good guys, and make my older brother [Who is the one who introduced me to the game] get mad. I remember going to Circuit City with my dad, Him buying me an Xbox, and picking up a copy of Halo. Ever since then, I've played it. Now my younger brother's are playing it. [yes, 1 and 2], and occasionally I play a game or two with my older bro.

My cousin let me borrow his Halo 3 about a year ago. To be exact February 27th last year. Yeah, memory is that good.

Anyways, rather than buy DLC I watched my 4year old bro at the time and begged Dad for ODST in exchange. I ended up getting it and then playing the CRAP out of firefight with my two best friends. And occasionally my little brother. Then Reach came and both my friends got it too, and I've met some good people on the Bungie forums ever since I borrowed Halo 3.

Still hunting CE and 2... Hopefully getting CE:Anniversary though.

Someone looked at their "Legacy" on their service record. (;


And I still have my H1 and H2. It'd be cool if you brought them in, they gave you some limited edition something; but I'm not going to be greedy. ;D [leik at gamestop]

I played some customs with friends near the end of CE (2003) and all of the way through Halo 2.

Strangely enough, my birth into the world of Xbox Live was only in 2007 when Halo 3 came out. It was then that the amount of time I spent playing escalated.

Ever since then I have been a loyal Halo/Bungie fan playing Halo a lot. Even Halo Reach. I don't care what anyone else says, I LOVE Halo Reach.

ACTUALLY I didn't look at my legacy, though I have no clue if it's right. I just remember him bringing it over two days after my birthday, the 25th XD

Started with Halo 3 Though ODST is my favorite by far :D

Also, I wonder what the Replica Battle Rifle is up too... 10 Mil already? wow (joking)

And if anyone wants to play, just send me an invite if I'm online :D

I have work early in the morning, so sadly I will not be able to stay awake, but I will play when I get back from work around 1.

I first got my xbox 10 years ago when I was 7, my parents did not understand that the xbox didn't come with any xbox games, so my dad took me to target where i searched for my crucial first game. I don't know what excited me about Halo:CE, the awesome looking spartan or maybe the "Game of the year" sticker on the front.

No matter what though, my dad bought me the game, and it's from history from there.

I made plans with my girlfriend tomorrow so i probably wont be playing much.

Anyway, just like most people's stories, i started with Halo 1 at a friends house got my own xbox about a year later, got halo 2, got my 360 with live and halo 3, and the rest is history.

Drink pop,blare loud music, and avoid rpg's like oblivion. rpgs make you go on long quests and the long walks can be boring. unless you enjoy that kinda thing.
p.s. its already bungie day here

My first console video game was Halo: Combat Evovled.

I only played it once, at a friends house, and I was too young to really understand what was going on. I remember that I thought it was taking place on a space station around Earth, and that the Covenant were giant mutated bugs. The only other thing I remember about playing it, was that I got stuck down the ladder in front of Keyes.

Anyway, many, many years late, in early 2007, I was walking through staples looking for some bull-blam!- office program with my Dad. Sadly, gaming was not really a passion for me at the time. I had a Gamecube and a PS2 that I barely touched, except when I was really bored.

But then. I saw it. Halo.
I snatched it from the shelf, and a wave of nostalgia overcame me. I knew I had to have it. So, I bought it, took it home, and installed it on my computer.

I was overwhelmed by it. Halo: Combat Evolved for PC had turned me back into a gamer.
Before long, I owned Halo 1 and 2 for PC, and by Christmas, I had every Halo book available. I counted out all the money from my many relatives, and bought a 360. In a few months, I went from barely remembering Halo to being completely obsessed with it.

When ODST came out, my sister agreed to pick up my pre-ordered copy while I was still at school, so that I could play it as soon as I got home. A year later, she drove me to the midnight launch of Halo: Reach, where she stood in line for four hours with me to get the Legendary Edition.

My other, best Halo memory, was when I met Steve Downs at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. He signed my copy of Halo 3 and the Arbiter/Master Chief poster that came with it.

So, yeah. To say I'm a fan of Halo is putting it mildly.

Happy Bungie Day.
