Monday is a horrible way to spend 14.3 % of your life.

I have the same worry about not running into a Bungie team all day. Hope it works out that it isn't a problem.

Otherwise, looks to be an amazing day. I was hoping vaguely for an announcement of some sort of Theme exclusive to Bungie Day (as the one from last year looks like crap in NXE), but still, should be fun.

To be honest, I'm not hugely happy with the maps. Of course there are some great ones in there, and a few that were made by friends. My gripe is specifically about Deity not being there.
Being so sure that it would get in because it absolutely deserved it, as did the forger responsible for it, I was shocked that it wasn't in the list when you posted this.
Something else a little... weird, is the fact Shishka specifically said there were 36 maps every time he mentioned it, yet there are 35 posted.
I feel that Shishka took something that my friend said, and went ahead and withdrew Deity from the list because of it. The whole 36 down to 35 map thing kinda makes that evident also.

The selection of maps are good but I think Deity deserves it's place amongst them... :S

Today is your day off, Urk? And you gave us an early update? I'm very grateful! :)

That boy needs therapy!

Bungie Day is looking more fun with each update =] Looking forward to go against Bungie, and not so i can haz rec0n, of course ;]

Not to sound like Grammar Police, but just something I noticed~

And not only are we worming are way through time together, we've also forged a mental connection across the dark expanse of space and time, as if these very words were vibrations amidst a network of loosely interconnected strings. Or something. To flesh this concept out a bit, I'd like you to conjure up a colorful beach ball using only the power of these words and your own expansive imagination. Stop reading until you have that inflatable image bouncing about inside your head. Got it? Next up, conjure a three-legged chicken. It's a little more difficult, but...oh snap, you've got that one too. Good work. We're off and wobbling. This is Extra Sensory Perception at its finest. And yes, we've done this bit before.

Donuts > all other food

This is question many people, including me, have been wondering. If you can answer this, Urk, I would be pleased.

I once was banned from earning EXP for 2 weeks. I was achievement boosting. I knew it was stupid to do it, but I did it anyway. (I've done lots of stupid things in my life.)

Can I still go into the Bungie vs. World playlist, play with you guys, win, and get Recon?

35? Shishka said there were 36 maps.

Can't wait for B-Day.
Recon time!
Playing old fashioned shoot-um-up.
No screenshots, no fancy suicides, no montages.
Straight kill.

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

What I did was I opened a page for each map, loaded up 8 on the queue, looked at those and then downloaded the next 8, keeping the ones I liked. I'd say start at the top and work your way down.
