It is lore of bungie... Guarded by the Webmaster with a gorilla suit and a jetpack

  • 07.18.2007 5:57 PM PDT

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

The Halo Story Bible.

Is it an actual bound book, or a bunch of crumpled napkins with backstories galore?

Where is it stored? In a massive, eye scanning, booby trapped vault? Or is it simply in Mr. Mclees or Mr. Statens desk?

Regardless of what it looks like and where it is, I think i speak for most b.net members by saying that this is the single most coveted object in the Bungie community (well, besides a disk of Halo 3 right now).

If i lived anywhere near Seattle i would be plotting to steal it.


You're onto something.

We need to assemble an elite team of Halo fanatics to steal the Holy Halo Bible and post teh pix of it on the internet, so that we may all share in its glory, knowledge and enlightenment. To whomever does this, I will give a lifetime supply of cookies...

I'm kind of more interested in the origins of the name "Bungie." Apparently, only a few of the Grizzled Ancients even truly know it.

As far as the Halo Bible goes, I'm sure that we'll be told all the cool stuff that we need to know. I imagine that no matter what is in there, it would probably be kind of underwhelming to read it.

  • 07.18.2007 6:10 PM PDT

You say tomato; I say potato.

I've read parts of it. My awesome to english translator ran out of batteries.

i could not disagree more.
think of what you would find history wise: the true forerunner story (how they fought and lost to the flood, how they were so intelligent and powerful), the formations of the covenant and the annexation of new species through military conquest and bribery, the truth about oni and what they know, the fate of the missing spartans.

all of that would be considerably overwhelming. granted, most things would be technical discriptions and political explainations but even that could be interesting.

As for assembling an elite team to sack bungie studios ninja style and capture the story bible, i volunteer first. Ill bing my Hanzo steel.

The bible would be a great read. How much do they want for it I wonder...

Hanzo steel ftw

Breaking into bungie is no easy task. I say our best way to get in is to go and have lots of salty tasty snacks with us, also bringing out moms couldn't hurt.

Just bribe Frankie with a new, comically enlarged belt.

Best hairday maybe?

Just kidding frankie. But in all seriousnes, maybe in the distant future after the halo craze has died down (never) the bible will go on sale on ebay. The money could go to getting a new jar for the dog head, maybe even a change of protective fluids.

First of all. The Webmaster does not have a jet pack. Secondly, we have yet to find Ling Ling so there would be no point in buying a new jar or pickle juice. Also, Bungie would had to have fallen on hard times to sell any of their story bibles on Ebay.

Wow what a buzzkill. The thoughts in my previous posts were "just in case" scenarios of course. :)

If it were any other company, I would expect to see the story bible published a few months after the release of the end of the trilogy. Considering this is Bungie though, and they always like to leave a few questions to tease the fans with, I don't think we'll ever be seeing it.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

Bungie's 7 grea7es7 secre7s and the loca7ions of 7he 7ru7h

1. 7he identity of your biological father - when the words of the other answers are put together and decoded 7 times in 7 different ways.

2. 7he origin of "bungie"- known only by one Alex Seropian, who brainwashed himself to forget.

3. 7he webmaster's true identity - Encripted 7 times, then split amongst 7 people in 7 places.

4. 7he location of ling-ling's head - in the depths of a certain desk that belonged to a certain intern at bungie.

5. 7he significance of "the shaft" - hidden in the shaft, kept by the keeper of the shaft, guarded by ninjas.

6. 7he origin of the disembodied soul - written on the inside of what used to be the webmaster's liver.

7. 7he recipe that Tijuana Mamas are 300% hotter than - locked so deep in the server room that not even the webmaster can reach it.


I don't see "Halo story bible,"

Do you?

Exactly, as a member of the community you shouldn't be concerning yourself with petty inquiries about the story bible, you should out finding more relevant tru7hs like the ones listed above by homcidalham.

Wow, there are a lot of people wanting to steal the story bible. Bungie should get more security for it. I volenteer for this sacred duty. I'm very good at standing around and waiting for things to happen and they could pay me in Chex-Mix and Yoohoo, which will fatten me up and make me a bigger obstacle between theives and the story bible. But I would have to read the story bible, just so I can make sure it is never replaced with a forgery by any would-be theives in the future.



Yes, I think that's believable enough.

Petty inquiries!!! Hah!
Although Homcidalham listed some interesting secrets, im concerned with the tangible, physical, meaty goods. Hence, protected treasure ( a physical thing).
When it comes to those other "relevant truths" i believe they are mostly conduits for humor, that in the end wouldnt provide any real interesting revelations (except for the origin of the name Bungie of course).

Anyways, i recently recruited chuck norris and kevin sorbo to the elite team which will be tasked in capturing the holy book.

Dang, for a moment I thought you were going to say "Ling-Ling's Head". :\

As for the story bible, I believe it's just a compilation of papers and/or computer documents. Lots and lots of them. Everything you need to know about the Jackal is in there. If you want to know where Captain Keyes was born, you could probably find it. Think of it as "Encyclopedia Halo".

And think of it as something you'll probably never get your hands on. ;)
