It's maybe a hack or just some programming joke, but now www.bungie.net (without the /Default.aspx) displays a page with just the text "helloworld".

Check out the strangeness:
www.bungie.net

In case this anomaly disappears before you catch it, here's a screenie:

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I haxed it up.

Same thing happened to me. 'helloworld' is a sort of training phrase for amateur C++ programmers. Probably something wrong with the page.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Yeah, I blame Frankie.

For more info on "Hello World," just type it into Google.

Yeah. I don't see why the programmers for the web team would put the most basic code to cover their page...
New idiot on the team? Or they let the Webmaster out?

But why would they even have "Hello World" in the coding?

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

I told Stosh he broke Bungie.

It's still not working for me :/

I noticed it too. I cleared my cache just in case, and it seemed to work.

The idiot/glitch that caused it will be repaired very promptly...

  • 03.04.2008 8:22 PM PDT

Looks like some silly office shenanigans, rather than "hacking". Looks like the server couldn't find the index, panicked, and just loaded up the default one?

Dunno. But I still blame Stosh.

It's probably just a fail safe of some sort for this very sort of nonsense.


Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue. But I do know 'helloworld' is a sort of training phrase for noobie C++ programmers.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.
