I’ve played video games throughout all of my life. I got my start on the NES and made my way up through the various consoles and even dabble in PC gaming from time to time; however, you’re probably reading this very post because you’ve seen one of my Halo montages somewhere online. I say somewhere, because they’ve literally been posted on every major Halorelated website on the net.Let’s back track a few years though,on

November 9th, 2004 I saw a dramatic decline in my GPA while attending Western Washington University because as we all know, that was the day Halo 2 was released for the Xbox. That’s not to say my GPA didn’t suffer from playing too much Halo 1, but it suffered a lot more once Halo 2 came out. Suffice it to say, I was addicted. Like Halo 1, I mounted up hours upon hours of gameplay. After playing Halo 2 for months I was playing with some great players some of whom now have contracts with MLG and I was also near the top of the team slayer leaderboards (way back before stand-by, modding etc.). At the time I was also in a video editing class and I thought it would be a lot of fun to capture my gameplay and make a montage with all of my clips. For my first montage “Vengeance” (a video I didn’t release until nearly a year after I made it), I borrowed a VCR player from the college and hooked up my Xbox through it to capture my gameplay on a two hour tape. I showed the video to my classmates and got a very positive response so I decided to purchase a capture card for my PC. After capturing footage for a while I put out my “first" montage Dust 2 Dust, and being among the first group of people to do this sort of thing well many gamers took notice
