age 5 (i think) my older brother bought the original xbox and it came with halo and some other racing game which i did not like. from that point on i loved halo and played it so much (avoiding the flood mission though, scared the **** out of me) in fact i was the one to start playing my brothers copy of halo 2 before him and even completed it for him. when he was away on camps and the such i would always be on his xbox playing halo and other games. i remember playing halo with him (the only time i got on with him) and remember someone on my street that had several xbox's and would have giant lan partys.
