Very, very nice. I can't believe the enormous scale of it. My laptop almost imploded from attempting to display all the win in one image so huge. I sure hope I didn't destroy your computer. Well, you can't blame me for that, but I can think of someone you can. Thanks for the comment.

GOD DAMMIT, MY GENIUS GOT CUT! D: You have no idea how much of the image all of that text took up. For the sake of saving your "genius" and sharing it with others, I still have the message saved.
"My love affair with Bungie first started way back when, in simpler times. These were the best of times, these were the worst of times. I paraphrase Dicken's A Tale of Two Citiesas it truly captures the times that were, indeed, at hand. For within the lives of so many, something had been missing, and yet, most did not know it. It was an intangible gap that needed to be filled. Perhaps there was no gap, I am not so sure. Nonetheless, it was filled irregardless of mine, or anyone's, wishes. Of course, it was Bungie who did this gap filling, without consent or prior notice. It was Bungie who, from the season of Darkness, sprung forth in such a way that all who gazed upon it were forced to bend to its will. Its goals or motives were, as of yet, unknown though this did not deter, it only added an additional element of mystique to its already tantalising allure. Like the Pied Piper, Bungie swept me off my feet, carrying me along with its glorious siren song, orchestrated, I suspect, by Marty O'Donnell. For years I trailed along in a trance-like state of admiration for the fruits of Bungie's labours, and only in the aftermath of its glorious, supernova-like initial appearance did my pupils dilate enough to see another layer of Bungie's parfait-like apparition, for I had stumbled upon others who had also been caught in this Bungie-driven glare. The community layer of this cake-like construct had formed before my eyes. Returning to the Dickensian motif, ever since the day Bungie shot of the season of Darkness, I, and many others have been thrown into their season of Light. Into an epoch of belief, a spring of hope and an age of wisdom. With the passing of yet another Bungie Day, a day that appears the same no matter which calendar style you use, the potency and ripe fertility of this Bungie stallion has only been magnified and soon shall erupt into an oozing, vengeance seeking global entity, the enemies of which having seemingly vanished in the wake of numerous slingshot firings.
The Bungie ride is not an easy one and Bungie does not claim it to be so. There has been heartbreak and elation, sorrow and serendipity, laughter and lamentation through the years. However, through everything - Halo releases, E3 trailers, Zanzibar-Flood wars, Kitchen 8s, Play Nices, new IPs?...ad nauseam - the foundations that make up Bungie, both in community and in corporation have never failed to impress.
Happy Bungie Day 2009 - Non Facete Nobis Calcitrare Vestrum Perinaeum.
Regards, Rampancy
P.S. BRING BACK THE NAVBAR!"

Shucks, must have gotten mine in too late. That's my fault, not yours. It happened to many people, and due to the short time notice, it was expected and bound to happen. I apologize, and I'll be sure to improve that factor next year.

Love that quote from Frankie, by the way. Totally makes that mockumentary. XD On Frankie's behalf, thanks! I've always been a fan of that quote since the video was uploaded to the site. For anyone who doesn't know what it's from: 10:17.
