To whom ever wants to read this.
i'm a medical retire. I started playing halo when my son finally got
my butt out of the house and to best buy to get a copy. Ever since that
day 2 years ago Iv'e not stopped playing and learning. I now am teaching
my boys how to build maps and have fun with this great game and have
gained a new confidence that I seemed to have lost when I had to leave
the the life I love. I don't think I ever played to many video games before,
except back in 82 when atari came out with pacman and pitfall lol.
My main motivation for this is to let the readers and users now
how greatful I am to this community for there support in helping those
of use ( young or old ) reach our goals. You guys and gals are great.
The map makers, staff and the people who play have inadvertently given back the gift
of life for those of us with little hope and uncertian futurs. Yes I
know its just a game, but for someone like me it is helping mend a broken
body, mind, and soul. It was the catalyst needed I guess to set life
back into motion and bring a family back together. Who's to say where
life will take us, what adversities we must overcome and the trials that
define us and outline our lives. I guess ultimately, life is what we make it.
Just wanted to say thank you all and SemperFi

You don't have to post it. I know it is not a topic
but I think it would be cool to let people know when
they have helped do something great.

Halo is a great game, and delivers much more than most games produced in the last five years. We thank you for your positive and encouraging words!

Good Luck...

I wish my dad would make maps with me :C

A worthy addition to the community. Also what Elefant said.

May i ask your age and the age of your kids?
I am 32 and have 2 boys aged 6 and 8, i am starting to teach my 8yr old how to use 3ds max and photoshop.
Nice to hear your story.

No, you don't. A good friend of mine recently lost her mom to cancer. My friend was only 14 and it devestated her. I suggest you see a psychologist.

you can have mine
she still hits me with a coat hanger!!

The loss of a parent is tragic at any age, more so when you are younger. I lost my parents when I was an adult, at an age you guys would consider old, and I still think about and miss them. Parents are not always perfect and no two are the same but most all of them have one goal in mind and that is that their children do well.

I understand joking about having a bad mom or dad especially if they have punished you or denied you something you wanted, but if you are truly in an abusive situation clouded by drugs and/or alcohol abuse please seek assistance from your school guidance counselor, priest or rabbi and not from people in a web forum.

no man im serious she yells and hits me
this is the only refuge i have
ftw: im sorry bout your parents dennis. :!

fixed.

yeah listen to Dennis go to a counslor or somone thats close to you and tell them about it. dont tell us we cant do anything we just read stuff.

No matter the cause, if you're in an abusive situation, you should seek help.

my dad is alive... but has bipolar. and has left my mother with my 2 brothers and myself, and i haven't seen him since. and that was 2 years ago. well he still sees my other brothers, but has completely forgot about me. It may be not a cause of death, that has separated me an my father. But more of an abandonment.
this is supposed to be "something great!!" not "something not great!!"

ftfy and ftfm

My right shoe feels tighter than my left one and its starting to hurt my big toe, also i seem to be getting this strange feeling of water in my ears/head when i bend over.
