(Yo this is way over the limit, but it's such a happy memory that I wanted to share anyway. Sorry for being a rebel!) Way back in late 2009, when Halo ODST came out, my friends and I had one goal: to conquer Bungie’s challenge and complete the Vidmasters. After countless late nights, we only had Endure left. We thought it’d be easy, but oh how wrong we were. We tried three times in one day, playing for somewhere around 8 hours, before our last attempt that night. We were going strong, having racked up somewhere around 20 lives quickly before the unthinkable happened: two of us had to leave. Our group was comprised of myself and two of my close, real life friends, and one very close friend from across the Atlantic. In his time, it was somewhere around 4am. We talked it over. We were so close to finishing the damn challenge, but our parents were frustrated with us and our murderous screams. With only two rounds to go and numerous lives, my friend Andrew and I departed, wishing luck to our teammates. We turned the lights off, but unknown to our parents left the xbox on. The next morning, we were told the horrifying story. After being battered and bruised by several chieftans, the two players still had one or two lives left over, on the last wave. Andy and I had long since been sitting in a corner, away and asleep. In the last few moments of the game, both our two friends had died, with no remaining lives, leaving only the two away players to fight. The best part? There were two enemies remaining. Both grunts. When they told this story to us, I could hear the disappointment and anguish in their voices. Apparently, one of the grunts rounded a corner to see our two immoveable avatars, one standing on the other’s head. And as our teammates watched in horror, the grunt simply chucked a sticky grenade and it was all over. Eventually we came back to the challenge, with plenty of planning, and decimated it, finally achieving our dream. But you can bet that we went over the footage together and one of our houses and sure enough, there were only two grunts left. I’m sure I have the footage somewhere. I know this is way over the limit, but thinking of all the fun memories I’ve had in Bungie games over the years just made me want to share this very special one.
