You know what? It pains me to say this as I'm one of the hardest of the hardcore, and I have absolute faith in Bungie, but this is the most BLAMed up bullBLAM contest I'd ever seen, and I'm shamed, SHAMED, that Bungie had a part in it! You know what? There's a reason Wideload Studios exists. Screw Mountain Dew. We know they're a-holes. Any shred of faith I had in PepsiCo is gone. Coke is way better anyway (everyone I know agrees). I liked Mountain Dew a little, but I'm not buying it anymore. Bungie, I'm sure you didnt know about how this contest was going to be run, but be more carful next time. I hate, hate to say it, but you've gone down a notch in my standing. Before I thought you could do no wrong. Well, you've made your first mistake. You've proven that you can. I know this sort of thing happens from time to time, and you were taken advantage of by an evil giant corporation. But don't let these kind of disappointments become regular! I don't think anyone is expecting anything less than a perfect 10 on Halo 2, but I'm not talking about your game-making ability. I'm talking about your unparelleled fan service. This was a disgusting event, but by itself, it is harmless. I can forgive. It's when this doesn't become a tragic anomaly anymore that people lose faith. I'm expecting a full public apology on the frontpage.
