20 years ago, I met Sam during an Xbox Live Head to Head matchup on Halo 2. We were just teenagers back then spending countless hours playing a popular video game and quickly became friends. We kept in touch over the years and FINALLY met in person for the first time in Liverpool, UK near his hometown. I took a 9hr flight from the U.S. to London, plus 2 hour train ride to get to Liverpool. We ended the day at a barcade downtown with our families. We all had a blast and not waiting another 20 years to hang out again!

(Sidenote: Yes, that's my original childhood copy of Halo 2 from release day Nov. 9, 2004)
