*Warning: The following thread is true and might cause tears*

It is possible that sometimes in our lives we look for something good and pure, wherever thats love, passion; just something that will define who we are and what we stand for. What are defined by and what we are made of. Of course when we grow up we gain experience and we learn from our mistakes but our mistakes do not difine who we really are at heart.
Its the love that defines who we are.

When Halo first entered the scene I have to admit I was a bit lost, a lost soul trying to find his place in a cruel and harsh world. I loved my basic RPG games but still I was not an established gamer and that reflected on my life. I did not know what I wanted nor was I sure what was going to happen to me in my Uni days as they were approching fast.
So many problems, so many questions in a unbearable already reality. I had to find a way to gat out, to switch off and get lost in that world that did not include my problems. My own little world. A boy that was 18, lost.

So in order to get to my uni I left (although born in the UK I was raised in an island called Cyprus) Cyprus and came back to the UK in North London. I was a quite, not adventurous at all and very shy. To get me started I went to one of my very old friends house that I knew when we were little. That was the first time I actually saw an Xbox. So I started talking with my frined about games and so Halo came up. When I said what was that he said to me: "You do not know what Halo is? What planet are you from?"

And so I started playing Halo. the amount of times I was beaten 15-1 was untold. But my frined kept his faith in me and I started to learn the real way od playing Halo. By then my uni had started but somehow the problems felt much more easier to face and solve. Halo gave me a new edge to my life. I remember I went to my friends house around 6 o'clock p.m on a Friday and did not sleep until 7p.m Saturday, playing Halo all day. Co-op, capture the flag 8 players, it was mad but finally I was happy and now I know what kind of a man I am.

It sounds all too wierd I do know that but if you know you know that I am that sort of person a pure dreamer that believes in true love. Thats me. I am 20 years old now and its only now that I understand that my life would not have been the same without Halo. Of course I will not leave Halo not even when Halo 2 does come out. I will return to it, to be reminded of all the good times I had and giving me the most glourious gift of them all: Me. I found me.

So to end this I will make the most humble bow to the best game of all times.

I thank you Halo for all the memories and the action, the world you gave me, the storyline about loyalty, brotherhood, friends and survival.

Thank you for all that Halo. *bow*

*Turns back and walks away into the sunset*

Thank you!

Tears were in my eyes. I know the pain and the feeling man. I've been there before, when my girlfriend broke up with me two days after our year anniversry, Halo was the only thing that got me through it. The fact that if I did have have a problem in the game I just wipped my shotgun and blow it to pieces, and if it got back up, (stupid flood) then I would just shoot it again. Thank you for your inspring story, and sorry for jerks who's only goal in life is to try to make people feel as dumb, as they themselves are. Keep strong friend.

I will never forsake Halo. Halo started it all and to blow it off is to insult the entire thing.

If you care so much about halo tell someone who cares! I know Halo is awesome and it IS something to love, but I dont need to know how you found yourself!

I will probably play halo probably when I want to play the whole story over, but mostly I will devote most of my time to playing halo.
