My OTHER contest Entry! I want to win... xD

I remember it clearly now.. The day was a cold day brisk sunday morning, in the middle of winter, My friend was staying at my house while his parents were on a business trip. He brought his Xbox Original over, He had 2 games, Halo and Halo 2.

I'd heard of these games as he had talked and rambled on the story and game play. He was a smart fellow, Carter was, Straight A's, Big house, Had lots of money, But me and him had been friends at pre-school when I had no idea of his wealth. But the day he brought over that Box of his, My life changed. The first game we played was Halo: Combat Evolved. I feel in love with it, The graphics were amazing at that time, I still remember his laughter at me as I opened my eyes widely as I played it, We weren't the richest family, so I never thought of buying a Xbox, I played my dads old Sega system and played Sonic the Hedgehog, Which was better then todays Sonic Games. As I played it, I felt the urge to have one, We played threw the campaign that night and moved onto local battles with each other on Blood Gulch, which quickly became my favorite map right away, He slid in Halo 2 after he slaughtered me in the Scorpion tank. So, that was when I was shocked.

The game play had become so much more diverse! Where these strange creatures carrying who we know as the Arbiter!? I soon fount out they were brutes, A new enemy along with Drones! As we played threw the first mission, I watched him pick up 2 SMGs up at once! It destroyed the Elite's and grunts it touched. I watched in awe all day as we beat the campaign. The next day he left for his house with his now returned parents. I waved goodbye from my house on the hill as he left. That day, I knew that I was now hooked, 2 or 3 Years went bye and it was now around September 15, 2007. I had been saving money for a Xbox threw that time, I had saved around 400-500 Dollars from 3 Years of work around the house. Then I heard of a new Console,(News doesn't travel far with me, I missed its release by 2 years, lol..) The Xbox 360, I jumped for joy when I also saw Halo 3's Release date.

"September 25!?"

I smiled threw the days that felt like years, I was going to get a 360 And Halo 3! I had pre-ordered the special Xbox 360 by then, I finally got it and I was speechless as I retured back into the world that Bungie had made, Master Chief was going to Finish the Fight this time, I just knew it! I had beaten the campaign on Heroic in 2 days. In the last 3 years or so, My family had bought a New computer and Wireless router, I went to the Gamestop and bought a 360 Wireless adapter, I was then open to the world of Halo 3's Multiplayer, The game just got 10x Better, It became my place to play in when I was bored.

Then, In 2009, ODST came out, On September 22nd I belive, I had bought and played it, Its Gameplay and firefight lasted me for 2 months, as I franticly crawled around New Mombasa in search for my squad. The new Halo 3 maps were awesome I might add, I still have it and play it regularly.

I am not going to even talk about how much hours I spent beating and played Halo Wars, My addiction to Halo Wars was unhealthy...

Halo has affected my life in many ways, It has been a good friend to me threw my life, I've seen lots of good friends on Halo 3 and I'm happy to say it will be one of my favorite game and experiences in my life! I'm hoping Reach will be just as good and better then Halo 3..

There it is folks, How Halo has affected my life...

Just for good measures, Heres me in Halo 3!
