i remember halo when it was announced as an RTS and being so excited. i was getting tired of Warcraft 2. i remember a bunch of my friends talking about it and the xbox. whereas i was a nintendo loyalist, and pc junkie.....that soon changed.
my boys were talkin about the game, i automaticly hated on it cuz is wasnt an RTS and i thought Frontline (COD) was the only good shooter at the time. Till one night after playing a show with this band call Once Pure, i got to the crews house! back in the very back room the was this lil hidden room in the corner of the house.
I walk in that house and see 4 TV's in a circle faceing away from it. LOL two with red tape, two with blue tape. i looked at Jay and say "what the hell is this?" He looked at me and said "the end of life as you know it."
i found a seat and got my ass kicked all night, and loved it. i mean, gameing was for nerds, and i had to hide it most the time. but this was my Heaven. i could not believe i was sitting in a room with 15 other dudes and chicks playing the same game. and the tradition still lives thought it went from that extreamly tiny room, to a studio apt. (halo 2 era), and back to a house since halo 3 with all the great online features.
I must say, I do miss the fun of kicking it with all my boys stuck in a room cussing each other cuz of random grenades being thrown across the map and killing people LOL god you could fling them things in CE!
