Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund

Nate has another video game book for Ben, just in time for Halo Infinite! This time we go back to the distant year of 2001, a month before Halo: Combat Evolved was set to change the video game landscape. That's right! Today Nate discusses Halo: The Fall of Reach. This is the definitive* story of The Master Chief's origin, in which he single-handedly saves Reach from being destroyed and they lived happily ever after. We answered many questions this episode including: how hard does The Master Chief punch? How attached was he to his parents? Should you attempt to pick a fight with Master Chief at the gym? How hard will Master Chief kill you if you pick a fight with him at the gym? If you kidnap a child at age 6 and he's grateful for it, is it really even kidnapping? And the most important question of all: will Ben admit he is interested in Halo on any level? Tune in to find out! Also at the end we announce when our stream is going to take place, should be a good one! *Later retconned completely.Edit: I forgot to give credit where it was due.
