My favorite memory of Halo goes back to when I played it for the first time. I was always a fan of Bungie games having played them on the Mac. but could not afford a console. Then came a weekend that I was to take my pre-adolescent son for a weekend away to talk about the "Birds, the Bee's and growing up". I wanted to have some fun time with him as well to break the ice and create time to let him process the information to later ask questions. So I rented an XBOX, controllers, Halo 2 and off to a hotel we went. The teaching time went well, but the gaming was phenomenal. We played the campaign as a team, both of us being challenged to learn the controllers, fighting the Covenant and being blown away by the graphics and the advances in game story telling. This became a true bonding experience and since then we have played all of the Halo games together, discussed the Halo canon and challenged each others slayer skills. Now with Destiny on the Horizon we are looking forward to even greater times, and who knows, maybe Destiny will be the game he takes with him when taking his own son to learn about the "Birds, the Bees and growing up".
