Bonus points if you can guess the exact moment in this video that made me snort laugh.

I miss the old days of HALO so much lately, y'all.

It's hard to convey just how special that time between HALO 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach was.

I miss couch co-op, Forge craziness, laughing together, playing slayer with friends... but it's all bittersweet now.

Do you have any fond HALO memories?

Honestly? I want to be, but I feel like XBOX is in a weird place and I don't know if they can recapture the magic for HALO anymore. I will still watch and hope I'm wrong.

YES. Let's put it on the docket, I would love to discuss it.

Also... Halo 1 is 24 years old.

I still go back and watch the first few seasons of Red vs Blue, it hits a very nostalgic spot for me too. I might rewatch again soon!

Gotta walk you through a few of the OGs. I bet the music will inspire the hell out of you too, it's some of the best VG music of all time!

My roommate and I at the time did the exact same thing. We went to Wal-Mart to get Crackdown just for the HALO 3 beta lol. That said, Crackdown was SO GOOD and we played the hell out of that co-op as well.

I was downing this stuff every day up until release and I'm sure I gained like 10 lbs from it lol.

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblast.bsky.social · 22h

Man, I can't even tell you how special it was. I can't put it into words, you just had to be there, I WISH you had been. But let's play sometime!

Nice! I got to 47 in Team Doubles and held that VERY carefully with only a few dips down to 45 and held there ultimately.

Blood Gulch is legendary.

I'm so very sorry to hear that. No one should have to go through that.

Let's plan on something!

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblast.bsky.social · 23h

Probably added a cool $100 extra in 2007 energy bill costs lol

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblast.bsky.social · 23h

Oh man, those days of loading up big CRTs in our cars and having LAN parties at someone's house were amazing!

That would be fun! Maybe a 4 player campaign(s) playthrough? I know Gabi has mentioned she'd like to play the campaigns.

Man, those years from like 2004 to 2011 or so were PERFECT. So many fun memories of playing with friends.
