I'd like to take a minute to talk on the subject of halo and fathers. Like many familys; my father and I have a hard time finding things in common. My dad has always had a passing facination with Halo, he thinks its "neat" and he "likes to watch the grunts blow up". I kept insisting that he try the game himself. Having never played a videogame in his life; he was reluctant to pick up a controler. When he finally did play the game with me, he brought a whole new meaning to the word noob; but it was amazing to watch him slowly grasp the concept of the controler and the properties of the game. Guiding him through the virtual world of Halo was a real bonding experience. I could tell he was enjoying it too. I can't wait to play Halo with my dad again.

My question to you the reader is... Do you share Halo with your parents? Have you any similar experiences to share? Maybe your mom playes LAN games with you and your buddies. Is you dad going to be in line when you pick up halo 2? I really wanna hear some responses.

My dad loves Halo and he's 57 years old. All he plays is Legendary and he's beat the Library several times. We always play Co-op together. I'm lucky.

I've gotten my father in law hooked on Cabela's Big Game Hunter and Red Faction on PS2.

I don't know if he could handle Halo.

Man are you lucky. My father is the type of guy who thinks games are very childish, and he isn't entertained by anything cool such as a game like Halo. He really doesn't like games because they aren't realistic, being in a fantasy world and all. It's the same thing for Lord of the Rings, he hates that kind of stuff. The last time I played a game with him was in like '96 or '97 when Mario Kart 64 was still big, and even then he played it for five minutes before he realized he disliked it. If your dad plays co-op with you, you're a lucky guy.

My dad has always been the same way. I guess he just sees Halo for what it is. I am lucky for that.

From the looks of it, I guess I am lucky. Back in the days of N64, we'd have some great deathmatch games with James Bond and Perfect Dark.

My father is dead.



yeah, right. ummm.... my dad doesn't play Halo. the one time we tried, my little sister and him were on a team versus me. needless to say, the score was tipped in my favor.


19 to 3.

My four year old Nephiew can seriously kick ass.

My brother(Father of Nephiew) has some brilliant skills.

My othor brother can whoop anyone and everyone that gets about three meters from him.

My sister can throw granades... and thats all she pretty much does...

ANd my younger nephiew can chew on the anologs.



Sometimes I wonder where you learn to spell...
