Speaking of Halo, I remember my first time encountering the Flood in Halo MCC. I literally screamed out loud, making my best friend roll lol. And then I come across the Gravemind in Halo 2 via the Master Chief Collection and all my hairs stood on end from goosebumps, as the Gravemind is sooooo creepy. Cortana when she saw the Gravemind said, “What... is that?!” And the Gravemind responded, “I? I am a monument to all your sins.” One of the most memorable moments in all of Halo, outside of the Halo Theme that everyone has done from high schoolers in a bathroom, a man in a tunnel and even Gregorian Monks.
