I don't know where to start

In Response To: Re: Halo - a look back over seven years (GheoFabulousDuk)


So I'll keep it short.
Halo(pc) -> Halo2 -> halo(pc)

That is how I was introduced to the world of Halo. Started with reading a lot about the game back when it was released for this new system they were calling the xbox. Wasn't until a lot later when I was in college and visiting a friend did I finally get to play Halo(PC).
I was blown away and the first time I played the level Halo, I distinctly remember goosebumps and the feeling of awe at the sheer scale of the levels. But I never got to finishing the game as I had to leave. But having discovered B.net and then HBO, my curiosity got the better of me and I ended up reading about the ending.
Then came the eventual purchase of my very own xbox. (Turned out to be blue rather than black)
Played Halo2 single player till my fingers hurt. And then there were the split screen sessions with a few friends who were eager to play though they really weren't gamers.
Why no MP you ask? Well I live in India and Live wasn't launched here until a year ago :(
The xbox wasn't even supported. MS entered the console market here with the 360.

I was not a very active member of the community even though I used to visit HBO everyday. It was only until a year ago that I started posting here. I remember the first RvB video I saw. It was episode 77.... yeah I saw episode 77 first, didn't have a clue what was going on. But I still remember getting some laughs. Discovering the awesome comics the community was putting out. Stuntmutt had me hooked :)
Then I found out there was a particular blog that had my interest and that is how I made my way over to hawtymcbloggy.com.
It was there that I met Mendicantbias00 and it was during one of our conversations that talk turned to how it kinda sucks there wasn't anymore Mister Chief, and how someone should make a mascot for the new game. ODS Steve was born :)
I keep coming back here because...well I mean look at this place. Its awesome!
I can't even begin to explain it. I love the game...I love the community....I love Bungie.
And I also love you guys over at HMB :)

If your wondering why I haven't mentioned Halo3, well.... I haven't played Halo3... yet!
Hope to finish that fight soon.
But as you probably guessed...curiosity got the better of me and I ended up reading and watching the ending. See a pattern here?
