Halo had a profound experience on my life. I was 12 when it launched and turned 13 the next month. My best friend and I paid for the Xbox in cash and coins (yes nearly 500 dollars including games and controllers) and I remember us trying to purchase Halo only to clearly be questioned about our age. The clerk said that if both our ages were added together we'd be old enough to purchase the game and then sold it to us. I'll never forget the moment we hopped off the Pelican and experienced the world for the first time. We were always competitive against one another but the second we fired up multiplayer it escalated to a level i never could've imagined. Fast forward to now and me and him have played through every iteration together. I've met friends in person that I've met in Halo multiplayer, I've won tournaments, went to the Halo Outpost with said friends. I don't think a game series will ever touch the itch Halo gave me. It truly changed my life.
Interestingly enough, I absolutely hated Gone Home. For some reason I'm intrigued by Tacoma, for now my thoughts are reserved until I get a chance to dive into it.
