Subject: Claim To Fame- Interesting for Members and Ninjas/Bungie Moderators

My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

Well this is a, "Well my brother's aunt's uncle's neice's nephew works at Bungie!" thread. I just found out I have one of those stories and I was wondering how many other people do. It could be as simple as your cousin, or as complicated as the one I posted before, but if you have a connection to Bungie lets hear it! I'll save my story for incase this thread dies.

Isn't that a joke? If you knew someone at Bungie you would have a special title probaly.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

No, just because you know someone who is related to an employee doesn't make you special. It's cool, but nobody will recognize it, least of all Achronos, because it's really not important. And if you claim to have special information you'll get banned. :P

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

heh... actually, as long as no one starts to claim to know anything about what's going on inside Bungie, I think this could lead to some interesting stories, if there are actually people who have such stories (or if there are people creative enough to make one up =P).

I don't really have one of those stories per se, but I have talked with stosh, Jeremiah, and KP on occasion, and I always enjoyed hearing random tidbits about meaningless but fun stuff. Well, except for KP. He's always just "Shut up I hate you guys". :|

Face-stabbery ensues?

And I'm sure we're all related to Bungie people somehow. Some closer than others, of course. [;

Hah, some of us here actually know the employees and we don't even get anything, lol.

Ya, I know John Butkus's cousin. He was on the credits for Halo 2, but I don't know if he still works there.

I once met Luke Timmins at the University of Utah, acquired his gamertag, and play with him every few weeks.

... >_>

Yeah, so it's not that impressive. So what?

I once shook Marty's hand.

His LEFT one.


Isn't that a show of disrespect?

Anywho, I have a friend who attended E3 several years back; He had used a urinal after a guy who used it after Jaime Griesemer. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime event....

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I once saw a picture of Shishka. My face melted off and I had to have it surgically repaired.

To be honest though my greatest claim to fame as you will or at least the thing I am most stoked about is playing against some of the Bungie guys. Oh and yeah. I did stick Tung. That made me feel all warm inside.

Year before last, I was at a urinal next to Sessler. He's a little guy.

Not THAT way... sheesh, you think that I would look? Gawd!

As to the left hand. It did freak Marty out a bit.

He once said that he had the soul of a bass player that spoke through his left hand. I wanted to shake that hand.

He was VERY cool and gracious about the request.


You better have washed your hand after going to the toilet, damnit!

Interesting. I'd like to meet the man myself; I heard he's a really nice guy...

...unless you touch his audio equipment, of course.

I actually did laugh out loud there.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

Well I guess this counts...my distant cousin's roommate supposedly works at Bungie...heh. Now I feel terrible for never emailing my Cousin back. D: (not because of Bungie, but blood ties guilt)

Uh....I've met Jason Jones? Does that count? I mean the guy's existence is practically an Urban legend. Got him to sign my H2 Soundtrack along with Marty.

Well, that would count with me. I live up in Canada, so ya, if I ever saw a Marty up here, and he actually signed my Halo soundtracks, then ya, I would count that.

Wow! Finally! [url= http://www.youfail.org]Here[/url] you go... I have to warn you that it isn't worth it. Such a failure this week. I would rather have not had an update at all.


NOTE TO ALL: MY PM INBOX IS BROKEN AND BUNGIE CANNOT FIX IT. SEND MESSAGES TO MY GT.

Or, Email me at gamefreek96@aim.com
^^^Jemima Got PWNED^^^

I was able to keep Achronos on my friends list for about 2 or 3 weeks...

...of course only after I sent him a message saying 'PLEASE leave me on your Friends List! I want to look at your Recon Armor! I swear I won't bother you!'

And only recently did he remove me...

*tear*

BTW, he played during the time he was on my Friends List...

He REALLY liked Mass Effect!

I WIN.

I think my highlight was playing on the "harcore" team while I was testing at Bungie.

Highlight #2 would be playing in the internal humpday.. Game #2 was tied 49-49, and Luke charges me with full OS and an AR. I had a Bubble Shield and a Brute shot. He AR'd me to about half shields, and I got one shot on him before I threw out the shield. He was confident with OS so he charged me, so I stood inside the shield and hit him twice more, then I jumped back and melee'd him, knocking out his shields. By that time my shields were gone, but I easily shot him once more with the Brute shot, and killed him for a 50-49 win.

And then we played Valhalla where he climbed in a Wraith the whole game and went like 15-2, while Joe Tung screamed OH MY GOD atleast 15 times.
