Halo

Recently I went to peck's place to relive the good ole days when we were still 14-15 and the most important thing to us was to get home after a day of school and just sit back and enjoy a game of halo trial with the mates like pwwe, Tims, mx and fats. We stated playing halo sometime in sec 3 with the free trial version and then to halo pc. 8 years later and with halo 2,3,4,odst and reach released, it was a great way to come together just to have some no nonsense fun. Looking at the game 8years on, the story of halo strikes me in a very different way then when I was 14. Back then it was just about the chief wielding has big ass gun, running around and just demolishing every alien in sight in the name for the sake of humanity. When I play the game now, there are much deeper themes that I take away from the game. Things like how great abilities always come with a price. How cortana being the artificial intelligence was actually more human then many of the humans themselves. Things like how when the words of the prophet which were taken by many as truth were simply lies distorted. The strong bonds of friendship formed between human,ai and spartan. I never noticed all this back then and now when I play through the game again, the story intrigues me and captures my attention. Most of all, halo isn't just a game we play, it was the instrument that brought such different individuals like myself pwwe david tims peck mx fats and even chenyi at some point in time together and it is how we all become such good friends in acs. it will continue define our friendship for many years to come...
