Old Schoolers Unite!

Okay, I used to be really into "Halo: Combat Evolved" in 2001! Played that game forever with my friends and it always held a little nostalgia in my heart when it comes to Bungie. Then "Halo 2" came out... Multiplier was flawless. Seriously, that game is still unmatched in my opinion. Damage Ratios were so balanced and it seemed like you were able to relax and still be on the edge of you seat the entire game! Since then, I really didn't get into Bungie games like I used to. I mean, they were good. But, I think my everyday life changed and maybe the gaming styles in the industry changed. Anyway, I've been a very causal gamer since about 2004. I'll play and talk about Video Games with my younger Cousins and Brother every now and again. But, I can tell their experiences are totally abstract to mine. It's kinda funny how I'm looked at as a "Old Schooler" compared to them. While playing Halo 4 with them and talking more about games, they brought up "Destiny" in the conversation! Showed me some videos, told me more about the vision for the game... I felt that nostalgia again! That good old Bungie nostalgia! I'm just as excited for the release/beta of this game as they are! Hopefully other people experience the same feeling I'm having. Because, I really do hope that Gamers of all generations will be able to close the gap in gaming styles. I'd like to hear the rest of the community. What do you guys think? Also, What do you think a "Old Schooler" technically is? It seems video games change so fast that it makes new generations happen every other year!

  • Old School Story, It was Bungie's Halo that got me playing video games again. 2001, was over my friend Mike's house his 9 year-old and 12 year-old were playing Halo on the big TV, I said wow those graphics look great (old school), Mike said do you want to play? No let the boys play, Mike said we can all play, boys hook up all the controllers and all started playing Halo combat evolved. The nine-year-old was kicking my ass and talking trash at the same time. On the way home I stopped at Best Buy, and got my first Xbox and Halo CE. Played 10 hours straight that night. It was two weeks later when I was back over Mike's house, his youngest said you want to play some Halo? I guess so. It took all my newly acquired Halo skills to kick his ass, five minutes into the game the 9 year old got mad and said you got a Xbox. Good times with Bungie Halo, combat evolved. Halo2, Halo3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach. Thats my Old School Story.
