Christmas 2001, my brother opens a box...an Xbox. It’s a GameCube in disguise. Sadness sets in when no gifts remain. In the afternoon we were called back for one more gift. A sizable box, oh so hefty. It was Xbox in a makeshift box, Fuzion Frenzy, extra controller and Halo. (Side note) I love my parents. The remainder of that day, days left in our break...every available moment together from then until Halo 2, my younger brother and I played Halo: CE to lengths no other game will likely reach again. Thank you Bungie, for bonding me and my brother.
