That's if the kid was telling the truth.
I'm sure Bungie did due diligence before posting his reddit comic on their official Facebook, so I'm going to assume the substance is closer to 100% true than 100% false.
The kid got an xbox when he was like 8 and accredited everything positive that happened to him after that as a direct result of Halo.
Finding a way to bond with people based on common interests is how people become friends. He says Halo did it for him, and I can see that happening, since the best friends I had in college came as a result of playing Halo multiplayer and love of beer back when it was against TOS to have a HD on an XBOX.
Everybody has parents that fight.
Yup.
Lots of kids don't have any good friends when they're 8. (I didn't).
He said he had none. Halo brought him some. I'd hope that in the years since you were age 8, you managed to find some, despite your pessimistic and skeptical tenor of your conversations.
Doesn't mean you're a miracle story if you turn out not to be a serial killer.
Can't argue with that statement on it's own, but he wasn't trying to be a miracle story for everyone in the world, he was expressing thanks to a company for making a game that helped him find best friends when he just wanted A FRIEND.
I'm not trying to take away that he had a happy life or whatever, I'm just saying that Halo had nothing to do with it...
And YOU know his life and testimony better than he does?
Let me put it in an open-ended question: What qualifies you to say whether or not what he said is true or not?
...and depression is something we all go through. remind me to make a reddit comic about my life so I can be glorified.
If you had gone through depression, you'd know how all it takes to make it worse is one thing going bad, and how all it takes to start the process of making it better is one thing going good. For some, they have to take Alprazolam or Wellbutrin; others find it elsewhere: Jesus, sports, art or, as in this case, a video game.
You don't have to believe him - the internet has much on it to cause skepticism. But you ALSO don't have to be the guy who "pisses in people's Cheerios" just because you don't like the fact they gave thanks to the Lord for providing something to eat either.
