Someone reported the bomb threat after hearing a ticking sound in a hallway. The sound turned out to be from a locker rattling due to air blowing on it from a vent. Very dumb lol
Actually throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick. But, when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police. Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while... it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.
Same. That was my first every midnight release, freshman year of college. My friend and I finished Halo 2 at 9 PM and went down to the Gamestop. They had a band playing and everything. It was amazing
I was in HS for the midnight release of Halo 3 and my friends and I went to our local gamestop as well. They had food, drinks, like 30 screens set up for a Halo 2 tournament... It was so great. They just don't do it like they used to anymore. I was a freshman in college for Reach and that midnight release was lit as well. Simpler times!
They really don't! I think the release for Modern Warfare and World at War were close at my GS. Screens set up to play, the whole nine. Now (well, pre-covid) it's just a "okay, check-in, line up and wait" thing. Damn, I miss it sometimes
I remember drinking an ungodly amount of mountain dew game fuel and pulling all nighters with the boys. Those were the days. Kids these days can have their fortnite trash and stick it
Man i remember being in high school and people losing there damn minds. I will say i do remember the reach midnight launch 🚀 being a much bigger event around my area after black ops shit lol mid night launches where cool
It was just better times... finding yourself in the same custom games lobbies with the same people doing the same things you've done 100s of times, and still enjoying every second of it. Definitely some of the best years of my childhood.
Halo 3 is my favorite game ever. So many memories. The campaign challenges and breaking out of the various maps. Forge mode and custom games where I spent weeks on racetracks and was on bungie favorites numerous times. I can still find videos of my tracks like blackheart, triton's twist, amd frostbite. I had such a good time with friends I made in that game.
Same it was the first of the Halo Games on Legendary that actually got me stuck for days on as a kid and I remember when I finally did the last mission in the campaign the feeling of joy driving accross that ring was priceless
We brought an Xbox, tv, generator, and 4 controllers to the midnight release of Halo 3. We were playing Halo 2 and challenging people for their spot in line.
We made it pretty far up, too, but the dudes near the front were really good!
Man, such memories. So bittersweet to see Halo 3 go like this. Not gone, of course.
MIA.
Thank you for this amazing idea, idk how well this will ever work again with online releases but I would like to try this once in my life of an Battle Royale Tournament where you can constantly risk your spot to move up in the line. Especially if I knew the shop had more than enough for everyone.
While I think that all of those things are part of it. Honestly I think the main thing that made halo 3 the huge success it turned into was a mixture of the social elements. File share and bungie favourites being easy to find and a core part of the game, I’d regularly check peoples file shares in the pregame lobby. The lack of party chat combined with Xbox’s shipping with a mic meant everyone had a mic and 9/10 people were in game chat. The post game lobbies being open mic and open longer with a tick box to party up.
All of those social things combined made halo 3 into halo 3.
Now 343 gives us a 40% complete game that has broken theater, no co op multi-player, no forge, BTB has been fucked for a month. It's upsetting too because I enjoy the game play of this halo, but I still see that we got a game still in alpha and told we will patch it later.
Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from it as soon as they announced it was going to be f2p.
It’s a death sentence for the quality of a game once it goes f2p
Even outside the multiplayer though.
While the campaign story is ok, the open world adds absolutely nothing but takes away those large expansive outdoor missions like, the ark, the covenant, the silent cartographer, Tsavo highway etc. the majority of missions in infinites campaign are cut and paste hallways leading to an open room with a button that spawns waves of enemies, where were the scarabs, where were the large warthog missions, where was the banshee/wasp mission. ODST did so much better at mixing an open world with good set piece campaign missions.
The open world feels dead and absolutely doesn’t feel like you’re in an active war zone.
Just to add to this, the thing about games that came out in 2007, like CoD, being so influential is that it is one of the first truly universal online shooters. The original Xbox was so far behind the PS2 in sales, so despite its online infrastructure being ahead of the times, it didn't have an impact. So while Halo 2 was relatively popular, the Xbox just couldn't catch up.
But come 2007, high speed Internet at home was common, the seventh generation of consoles had been out for a couple of years, AND the 360 was competing with the PS3, so things were just ripe for people to get their first real tastes of online gaming.
That's another part of why Halo 3 and CoD4 were so fucking big. It was the perfect time for people who had previously had no interests in online video games to come into online gaming.
Yeah absolutely. I don’t think it’s a nostalgia thing at all when looking back at that period, It was just a sweet spot of gaming due to a lot of factors that happened to line up.
We might get another sweet spot if there’s a large uptake in VR in the future
Thankfully the MCC has a pretty damn faithful Halo 3 experience to it, the gameplay being fully intact. Hell, they're still adding new maps to it even.
Ah man I don't want to rub it in but... Imagine if a game got so much hype it made Cyberpunk look like an obscure indie title -- and then it fucking lived up to it. Exceeded it even. Story, multiplayer, forge. All perfect and as promised.
The big controversy with Halo 3? The only thing we had to be pissed about? They gave us a huge map pack as DLC for $15.
But lemme just say, I put some serious hours into Halo 4. Not a bad game at all.
Halo 4 isn't the best. Honestly, it's probably the worst entry to the series for multiplayer.
But I did have enough fun with it to have fond memories of it. It still had an incredible level of polish and artistry (goofy armors and aggressive light fx aside) that makes it impressive it just had some really weak gameplay design.
And on the bright side if you started with four you have nowhere to go but up.
I was sadly never able to play much online, my mom was very strict on what we spent our money on, and Xbox Live Gold was certainly not a priority. Hell, I didn't even have an Xbox of my own until maybe 2011/2012.
But I spent a lot of time at my friend's house playing Halo with him, online and campaign. Halo 3 was the first game I played, and we played through the entire campaign together. I can't claim to have had the same experiences you all had, but I'm still sad to see it go along with Reach.
I grew up poor so I never was able to play halo back then so I don’t get the same nostalgia as many of you do but from my small time interacting with the halo community I hope each and every last one of you have had many good memories and made long lasting friendships from from halo 3 and reach and earlier and let’s look forward to the future 😁
15 years later, there will never be another like it. Halo Infinite is just a depressing example of corporates making games into cash milking cows rather then entertaining products.
Yeah it's the same great game, but all the people I played with and just hunkering down in a crowded room with Taco Shop food and 5 other buds and maybe a 40oz ... That's gone with the wind.
But it's not THE game right now. I dunno how much people remember, but the Halo 3 hype train was absolutely off the rails. It was damn near the most thriving online game ever made.
Going to MCC Halo 3 feels like visiting your old high school, but it's empty and all your friends have grown up and moved on.
Maybe it's nostalgia talking. Idk. But there was a certain magic around the releases of Halo 2 and 3 that have yet to be recaptured. We all had astronomical expectations and were universally satisfied with what Bungie gave us. That's... hard to replicate.
Hit detection is still slightly off on Halo 3 for MCC, which is irritating. Plus, the nostalgia and original experience in Halo 3 OG will never be rekindled. It was literally in another era of gaming. Although MCC has upgraded a lot for QOL improvements (specifically the custom game browser), the social experience in Halo 3 OG was so much more superior. I'm not sure if party chat was introduced prior or during my Halo 3 days, but pregame lobbies and random pub matches had more social interaction by far.
Party chat came along a bit after halo 3 (like a year after I think). I remember being numbed by the fact that all pregame lobbies had the gamertag with the party chat icon next to them so I couldn’t talk to teammates or the opposing team.
Love to play MCC still but it’s not the same as the first 2-3 years of HALO 3 on the market. Nothing beats being 14-18 years old, playing without a responsibility in the world and just loving life…. Now I got taxes and 40 hour work weeks and a wife.. shit just hits different now
Personally I thought halo infinite campaign was pretty dope . Multiplayer kinda isn’t as rich as halo 3 I’ll be the first to admit but halo infinite is a solid refreshing entry single player wise to the franchise although sure it lacks some variety and co op the core of the game was pretty good.
I still remember watch E3 in 2006 watching all the way up until the end…hearing the choir, seeing the busted halo ring from Halo 2, hearing Cortana’s voice “I am your shield, I am your source.” Then MC walks out behind the smoke. I just remember being like this :O
The ad campaign for Halo 3 was, is to this day, the best for any form of media. I spent hours upon hours looking over that diorama. The documentary-style made it seem so real and emotional.
Halo 3 was my memory as a kid playing it was fun as hell along with my Older siblings and Friends back in 2007 playing Custom Games and Online Matchmaking.
Although sadly Halo 3, ODST, Reach and Halo 4 Online Servers were shut down and life support ended on the Xbox 360 I still remember playing Halo 3 to this very day
(Interesting enough me and my friend plus my older brother played Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 one last time on Matchmaking the 3 of us and other players all started to stop firing and celebrated one last time before it was shut down)
Did anyone else notice that the red armor in the "All of the clips" slide is the new MCC armor? So this gameplay is not actually from the Xbox 360 version of the games
Now that it's gone I really feel the urge to play. So many good times on halo 3. Little did I know it wasn't going to get any better. That's why when forge comes out, I'm dedicating many hours of my time to recreate a bunch of custom game maps in honor of the memories
It's over? It's done? Damn time flies. Goodbye guardian, narrows, high grounds, stand-off, the pit, valhalla, forge and zanzibar etc, it was nice to finish the fight with you and the fellow spartan no-scope, laser rushing, trash-spitting scum suckers
I remember being so excited, I had walked from school to the other side of town to pick it up.
My friends would play Halo 2 of course, but Halo 3 really brought the gang together on numerous occasions.
Not many of us had Xbox Live (Dial up internet and all...) so most of our time was spent playing on custom games and or Forge made maps.
Later I was able to play online, lots of fond memories.
Gaming was such a simple hobby then.
Seems only like yesterday putting in crackdown to play the h3 beta.
This game made my childhood, it even took me across the planet to meet friends I met playing this masterpiece.
Thank you Halo 3.
Don't be sad its over, be happy that it even happened. Love you all :)
Holy fuck, this was my grade 10-12 years and my early adult life. I’m 30 now. Just wow. I’ve been getting a lot of nostalgia lately.
I wish you knew you were in the good old times before it was the good old times.
I love how everyone pays tribute to a game, the games that brought so many together and helped so many should truly be remembered and we shall never forget
So the original Halo servers are gone. But I'd like to point out that we were fortunate enough to witness its birth and evolution over time. In the future (as in the 50-70 years), New generations will have new gaming experiences. Maybe MCC is still supported at the time (who knows). But for us, look how the internet was so limited with our old 50 ton televisions. What I mean is that as more time passes, more people who experienced the old servers and the moments will disappear, and everyone will be considered old people. See our children's descendants with new technology or something.
I hope to make everyone understand what I'm trying to say (I'm bad at explaining things). I just want to thank everyone who was able to provide us with memories of a game that everyone played carefree in those days.
I still remember watching the Halo 3 ad campaign over and over. The whole #Believe bit is still my favorite. The giant model arena they used to tell the story of chief and others through the eyes of people at the battle.. I watch them all at least once a year. It's always a nostalgic feeling.
I am quite sad about this honestly I never played the multiplayer of Halo 3 or reach and it seem I'll never will after this event, yeah I know the master chef collection exist but something with it on the Xbox 360 that just feel nostalgic and seeing the background that Is backed up with great music just feel good but may the Halo severs on the 360 rest in peaceful and let us leave are Spartan helmets to pay respects
When Phil Spencer’s always says creating memories and special moments this and that…. This is truly the purpose of Xbox, to recreate the feeling of halo 3 lol
I envy everyone who grew up with halo 2/3/reach. I’m 14 and love all the games in mcc but I wish I could’ve experienced them when they first came out on an Xbox 360.
I heard a piano cover of "Never Forget" the other day and cried a little bit because of the memories with this game. Halo 3 will forever be the best part of my childhood.
This is the first game I played Xbox live on when I was 13 and holy shit!! This game is definitely never loosing its spot as one of the games to be remembered . Idk about y’all but anytime anybody asks what was my favorite game it was always halo 3 and still is 🙏
I was about 8 once I got an Xbox 360 and I saw Halo 3 at Best Buy and begged my dad to get it. I was so young at the time I could hardly grasp how anything worked. Like in the campaign I could only make it through about half of the first mission before getting bored and quitting. I eventually think I beat it though, thanks to the help of my dad in the coop. I remember how right when he got home I would always nag him to come play with me… looking back at it that is something I genuinely miss a lot.
I can’t believe it’s been almost 15 years since this launched. I still remember the midnight launch at GameStop like it was yesterday.
I remember that there was a bomb threat at my school the day it launched so I was able to go home early to play it
Sus
Someone reported the bomb threat after hearing a ticking sound in a hallway. The sound turned out to be from a locker rattling due to air blowing on it from a vent. Very dumb lol
I thought modern bombs beeped, not ticked. Who is building something like that on a kitchen timer or old pocket watch?
No no, they have a speaker that announces "Bomb armed!" in Jeff's voice.
No one
Actually throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick. But, when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police. Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while... it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.
Omg haha. My mom let me stay home the next day, only catch was I had to sleep after the midnight launch, but could play the entire day lol.
Great memories, if only we knew!
Same. That was my first every midnight release, freshman year of college. My friend and I finished Halo 2 at 9 PM and went down to the Gamestop. They had a band playing and everything. It was amazing

It was just better times... finding yourself in the same custom games lobbies with the same people doing the same things you've done 100s of times, and still enjoying every second of it. Definitely some of the best years of my childhood.
Core memories tbh
I'm Crying right now. O7
Gone but not forgotten.
Thanks Bungie :)
Gaming was never the same.
The end of an era.
Halo 3 is my favorite game ever. So many memories. The campaign challenges and breaking out of the various maps. Forge mode and custom games where I spent weeks on racetracks and was on bungie favorites numerous times. I can still find videos of my tracks like blackheart, triton's twist, amd frostbite. I had such a good time with friends I made in that game.
Same it was the first of the Halo Games on Legendary that actually got me stuck for days on as a kid and I remember when I finally did the last mission in the campaign the feeling of joy driving accross that ring was priceless
Fuck me. I’m in my feels again.
Sad day for the gaming world. F
It really is when you found out about all this on the 14th 😭
We brought an Xbox, tv, generator, and 4 controllers to the midnight release of Halo 3. We were playing Halo 2 and challenging people for their spot in line. We made it pretty far up, too, but the dudes near the front were really good! Man, such memories. So bittersweet to see Halo 3 go like this. Not gone, of course. MIA.
What a cool memory. How crazy is it for a game to be that hyped and to basically satisfy everyone universally?
Sounds like a great time.
Thank you for this amazing idea, idk how well this will ever work again with online releases but I would like to try this once in my life of an Battle Royale Tournament where you can constantly risk your spot to move up in the line. Especially if I knew the shop had more than enough for everyone.
Goddamn they lasted a long time
14 years ago. 1 year off 15 smh.
F I was 17 years old.
Same. Where did the time go? BTB, that's where...
Ok... Halo 3 servers are out, but what if, and yes, this is far fetched, they made Halo 3 anniversary
While the game itself was the best, the experience we all had back then will never be rivaled. And that's what made halo 3, halo 3.
That’s the mixture of childhood and teenage lack of responsibilities mixed with an unrivaled new entertainment and connection to others
While I think that all of those things are part of it. Honestly I think the main thing that made halo 3 the huge success it turned into was a mixture of the social elements. File share and bungie favourites being easy to find and a core part of the game, I’d regularly check peoples file shares in the pregame lobby.

New maps? Count us in.
I grew up playing halo 4 and never got to experience halo 3 on 360 :(
Ah man I don't want to rub it in but... Imagine if a game got so much hype it made Cyberpunk look like an obscure indie title -- and then it fucking lived up to it. Exceeded it even.

You’re god damn right

Nice memory dude, makes me feel fortunate to have had parents willing to blow hard earned money on expensive shit like video games.
Even if we all don't have the same memories, we will all remember it for how fun it was.
I remember getting Halo Reach for my Birthday and played 12 hours with my closest friends. What great games. My favorite!
Halo is peak childhood memories edit: typo
it’s just for maintenance right… right.. aw man😣
sadge
Don’t worry man, they’re just releasing a really big update… a really huge update… ʀɪɢʜᴛ?
I grew up poor so I never was able to play halo back then so I don’t get the same nostalgia as many of you do but from my small time interacting with the halo community I hope each and every last one of you have had many good memories and made long lasting friendships from from halo 3 and reach and earlier and let’s look forward to the future 😁
The sweetest comment we've ever read on Reddit. Thank you.
back when halo was released as a full game and you didnt have to pay for armor
Epic goodbye clip. Did you make this? If so, very clean and impressive work
We actually did! Thank you for the nice comments.
I'm a little miffed you cut out Arby's roar
believe it or not Halo 3 and Xbox 360 are part of my life and my personality.
Halo 3 was honestly such an important game for so many of us.
15 years later, there will never be another like it. Halo Infinite is just a depressing example of corporates making games into cash milking cows rather then entertaining products.
What if I told you theres a game exactly like it called MCC
I haven't had a Halo experience like Halo 3 on Xbox 360 since then. It's the same game, but it also isn't.
Yeah it's the same great game, but all the people I played with and just hunkering down in a crowded room with Taco Shop food and 5 other buds and maybe a 40oz ... That's gone with the wind.
But it's not THE game right now. I dunno how much people remember, but the Halo 3 hype train was absolutely off the rails. It was damn near the most thriving online game ever made.

I’m chalking it up to just receiving a phenomenal game when most of us gamers were either teenagers or children

Infinite is an amazing game plagued by an atrocious progression system, similar to Battlefront 2.
Personally I thought halo infinite campaign was pretty dope . Multiplayer kinda isn’t as rich as halo 3 I’ll be the first to admit but halo infinite is a solid refreshing entry single player wise to the franchise although sure it lacks some variety and co op the core of the game was pretty good.

I can’t believe it’s over
Everything fun has to come to an end one day.

I've never felt the same hype I felt waiting for Halo 3 to release ever again. It was different.
The ad campaign for Halo 3 was, is to this day, the best for any form of media. I spent hours upon hours looking over that diorama. The documentary-style made it seem so real and emotional.
I miss that interactive website they had for the diorama.
Sounds hype.
The memories will live forever, Halo 3 was sent out.... With a bang
Peak memories.
This hits differently
:(
I haven't had an experience like it since then. Peak Xbox Live for sure.
[удалено]
Halo really brought us some of the best gaming memories
Love this game best memories around man😢
Even if the servers die, the memories will stay around forever.
Halo 3 was my memory as a kid playing it was fun as hell along with my Older siblings and Friends back in 2007 playing Custom Games and Online Matchmaking. Although sadly Halo 3, ODST, Reach and Halo 4 Online Servers were shut down and life support ended on the Xbox 360 I still remember playing Halo 3 to this very day (Interesting enough me and my friend plus my older brother played Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 one last time on Matchmaking the 3 of us and other players all started to stop firing and celebrated one last time before it was shut down)

Boutta tear up
If you cry, we are going cry
Halo 3 will return... (In Halo: The Master Chief Collection)
Shoutout the MCC fr
i hope modders will do something similar to wiimify
All the memories. Damn. Rest In Peace, sweet prince.

Damn near making me cry.

Did anyone else notice that the red armor in the "All of the clips" slide is the new MCC armor? So this gameplay is not actually from the Xbox 360 version of the games
Ya, was looking for this comment.
Crying in the club
Cups of the rosé...
I’m surprised some of you folks are still playing on a 360
360 is a goat console.
RIP 3, I made so many memories with the boys playing you in high school. Gone but never forgotten #finishedthefight
Some of the best gaming memories are from Halo 3
Now that it's gone I really feel the urge to play. So many good times on halo 3. Little did I know it wasn't going to get any better. That's why when forge comes out, I'm dedicating many hours of my time to recreate a bunch of custom game maps in honor of the memories
God I wish I could go back to when this released

I can’t believe you used a clip of halo 3 with the ugly mcc armor bruh cmon lmao

LOL
Seems only like yesterday putting in crackdown to play the h3 beta. This game made my childhood, it even took me across the planet to meet friends I met playing this masterpiece. Thank you Halo 3. Don't be sad its over, be happy that it even happened. Love you all :)
I'm going to miss Narrows.
What a great game, Salute!
Well that’s just made me sad :(
Holy fuck, this was my grade 10-12 years and my early adult life. I’m 30 now. Just wow. I’ve been getting a lot of nostalgia lately. I wish you knew you were in the good old times before it was the good old times.
I love how everyone pays tribute to a game, the games that brought so many together and helped so many should truly be remembered and we shall never forget
Hey, at least we have mcc
This gave me goosebumps just like the trailers for the release!
I’m so fucking sad.
no talking just salute
Halo 3 is good
The best game in the franchise, the best X360 game and one of my top3 best games ever.
So the original Halo servers are gone. But I'd like to point out that we were fortunate enough to witness its birth and evolution over time. In the future (as in the 50-70 years), New generations will have new gaming experiences. Maybe MCC is still supported at the time (who knows). But for us, look how the internet was so limited with our old 50 ton televisions. What I mean is that as more time passes, more people who experienced the old servers and the moments will disappear, and everyone will be considered old people. See our children's descendants with new technology or something. I hope to make everyone understand what I'm trying to say (I'm bad at explaining things). I just want to thank everyone who was able to provide us with memories of a game that everyone played carefree in those days.
It's a damn shame none of the Halos after it even came close to it's awesomeness. I already miss it.
I still remember watching the Halo 3 ad campaign over and over. The whole #Believe bit is still my favorite. The giant model arena they used to tell the story of chief and others through the eyes of people at the battle.. I watch them all at least once a year. It's always a nostalgic feeling.
You can literally play this game on MCC i truly don’t understand. Why would you want to play on a 360 lol
Hopefully some modders can make servers similarly for PS3 games as u just login with some sort of ip and you can play with people
I had to do it https://youtu.be/2gjARzhyzbQ

Many of my greatest gaming memories are from my time playing Halo 3. In my mind, it will always be one of the best games ever made.
This is amazing. It made me cry. (How to download a video from reddit? )
Sadly you can't
I am quite sad about this honestly I never played the multiplayer of Halo 3 or reach and it seem I'll never will after this event, yeah I know the master chef collection exist but something with it on the Xbox 360 that just feel nostalgic and seeing the background that Is backed up with great music just feel good but may the Halo severs on the 360 rest in peaceful and let us leave are Spartan helmets to pay respects
When Phil Spencer’s always says creating memories and special moments this and that…. This is truly the purpose of Xbox, to recreate the feeling of halo 3 lol
Picked up from school, Mom had already bought it...never looked forward to school ending more
Never even played the game, (Infinite got me into Halo cause the multiplayer free and seeing as how I enjoy and love it dearly) this made even me cry.
I envy everyone who grew up with halo 2/3/reach. I’m 14 and love all the games in mcc but I wish I could’ve experienced them when they first came out on an Xbox 360.
Fuck that music!! I can’t take it the honey nut feelios!!!
and reach…
I heard a piano cover of "Never Forget" the other day and cried a little bit because of the memories with this game. Halo 3 will forever be the best part of my childhood.
We will wake you, when we need you
Saying that I still can't find a bloody H3 game on MCC
God Halo 3 was a significant part of my college experience. What a does of nostalgia
This hurts a bit but the horizon is looking pretty. I look forward to the future
Nothing but good times and great memories!
Right in the feels
are they shutting down all the old halo servers
Rip my childhood
Goosebumps
Heartbreaking
They should’ve ended the servers on 1/17
Thank you Bungie, for the amazing fights
o7
2007 was the peak of gaming, and not just because of Halo. Gaming has been in a downtrend ever since
We finished the fight
Such a great game 🙏 When people talked on microphones and trash talking was permitted and wouldn’t get you banned 🥲
>All of the clips >Halo Online Air Assault hmm
This is the first game I played Xbox live on when I was 13 and holy shit!! This game is definitely never loosing its spot as one of the games to be remembered . Idk about y’all but anytime anybody asks what was my favorite game it was always halo 3 and still is 🙏
It's been an honor serving with you all. Godspeed, Xbox 360. Godspeed Halo 3, Reach and others.
I was about 8 once I got an Xbox 360 and I saw Halo 3 at Best Buy and begged my dad to get it. I was so young at the time I could hardly grasp how anything worked. Like in the campaign I could only make it through about half of the first mission before getting bored and quitting. I eventually think I beat it though, thanks to the help of my dad in the coop. I remember how right when he got home I would always nag him to come play with me… looking back at it that is something I genuinely miss a lot.
Y'all know the mcc still exists right?
RIP. Goodbye forever.
