| Is it bad if Halo changed my life? | |

When I say this I don't mean anything petty, like "It got me interested in video games" or "It showed me what fun games are". I mean my life would be really different without it. It all started when me and my brother got hooked on halo, even before we had an Xbox. We would always go to the EB and play the machine there. Eventually my brother's friend was selling his Xbox, so we bought it, and there started our Halo addiction. Halo 2 came out, stood in line at 12:00, stayed up till 4 and woke up two hours later for school, shaking with insomia and excitment. For Christmas we got XBox Live, this is where the big changes occur. We started to meet some people in our school who had live. I met one of my best friends this way, and also my first girlfriend. I was in 9th grade and she was a senior. Eventually the halo craze with all of our friends died down a little, my girlfriend broke up with me, and some friends even canceled their subscriptions, since college and jobs called. My one friend still stayed on, and since he has a family member in the same grade (she is his aunt, long story) we started talking, and became better friends and she eventually asked me to a winter dance(which was a couple of months away). I said yes and we have been dating for over a year now. Looking back a couple of days ago I started to wonder, what my life would be like without halo. I would have never gone to the prom with a senior when I was in 9th grade. The friends I have now I wouldn't have been as good with or known at all. And most importantly I wouldn't have my current girlfriend. Kinda odd thinking what would have happened if the EB's Xbox wasn't working, If we weren't forced to go to the mall so often, if we didn't have enough money to buy that Xbox from our friend, my whole life would have changed drasticlly. | |
