Halo Designer Uses Video Games to Bring Family Closer


What: Dave Candland, interface lead for bigtime games like Halo, answers questions about going to BYU-Idaho and having six kids.

Quote: "Last night I was having a discussion with my seventeen year old son about a game we were both playing, giving each other tips. He had a friend over that started laughing. He says, 'Dude, that’s awesome. I could never talk to my dad like that.'"

Reaction: Despite the potential effects of too many video games on family/social life, you have to admit that this industry provides great opportunities for enriching father and son relationships.

  4. Wait, so is this site against Mormons or supportive of them? Or is this just a joke?
