    Well this hits home for me.

    My first experience playing Halo was checking it out at a friend’s place in college in 2001 and proceeding to play several hours of split screen co-op all night. It was awesome.

    My most recent experience playing Halo was earlier this evening, playing split screen co-op with my son. We ran around the island in The Silent Cartographer just blasting the shit out of covenant, our fellow soldiers, and each other. Though admittedly a lot of the latter was me running around like an idiot while the kid blasted my corpse high into the sky. It was also awesome.

        I sent that image to the guy from college. It was the first time I’d messaged him since 2016. He responded within seconds with “those were the days.” Then he asked about the family and we discussed what games we play with our kids now.

        Mine is about to start 2nd grade, so still pretty young, but I can always enjoy some chaotic Halo with occasional friendly fire. (Skulls enabled to give unlimited ammo and grenades — extra chaotic!)
