Nine years ago today, I hosted a Halo 2 tournament in college because my student association (of which I was president) faced a budget shortfall and wouldn't otherwise be able to publish our biannual literary magazine. It was a resounding success, and not only did we have enough money to publish the magazine, but we also were able to make t-shirts.
It got me thinking. How has Bungie or its games positively affected your life? Other than the obvious that you've had fun playing them, is there anything exceptional that's happened to you because of Bungie or its games?
Edit: <3 you guys
My story above was just at the beginning of this crazy ride with these amazing people and this community. Overall, Bungie and its games have brought me endless fun, an extended community of people I've come to call some of my best friends, and worlds for my imagination to run free and seek inspiration. They've had a profound influence on me, personally, shaping my life in ways I would never have anticipated.

Destiny has saved my life. I was diagnosed with aids 2 yrs ago from having sex with other ppl and shooting meth. I could not afford the meds they were prescribed me so I was in bad shape. Then one day last October when I was at the shelter picking up my donated meds, some one dropped off a xbox360. I argued with a 12 yr old boy about who should get this xbox. I told him I was dying and I needed It to survive. He finally gave in and I had a xbox. When I plugged it in there was a game already in it. That game was destiny. I played all day everyday off the free wifi at the clinic. I was so happy. I wont bore u with anymore details but destiny has prolonged my life.
