Halo: Combat Evolved - Episode 1 | The Pillar of Autumn (Full Campaign Playthrough)

Welcome to ThatDadGames — where the responsibilities are real and the gaming sessions are hard-earned. I'm Aidan: married, raising 4 kids, working full-time as a developer, and somehow still finding time to game. This channel doesn't stick to one genre — one day it's methodical city-building in Cities: Skylines, the next it's open-world chaos in classic GTA, chasing nostalgia in Halo, or losing hours to some random simulator I probably shouldn't have bought. Expect relaxed, honest commentary — no scripts, no yelling, just a dad playing whatever he's in the mood for after bedtime (his kids', not his). If you're a fellow gamer trying to balance work, family, and your backlog, you're in the right place. New videos regularly. Level up, log off, repeat. --- Today we're kicking off a full campaign playthrough of Halo: Combat Evolved, starting with Episode 1 — the very first level, "The Pillar of Autumn."
