We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

First of all, I'd like to announce covertly, to absolutely no(Harrison's mom)one, that I do, in fact, approve of and respect my elders. Especially the one above this post. I <3 y'all.

Now for the nitty-gritty.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5225? Nitty gritty? No, I'm not as insane as I'd like to be but the below may be of interest to those keeping tabs with Bungie's 7-type easter eggs they so gracefully lay for us throughout the duration of their game-making carrer, which, might I add, tastes a little like soy sauce.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bungiepedia says that the date of Halo: CE's gameplay in Halo's storyline (2552) is actually a cute little code that Bungie's prepared for us to add to their huge collection of seven-themed works. I hope Harrison's mom payed attention in elementary school, because I've got some math for her.

Think of it like this, step-by-step in idiot's terms:

Year = 2552

2+5=7

5+2=7

Now, considering that Bungie's Comic-Con booth number is 5225... (5+2=7, 2+5=7)

Original: Booth 5225

Doesn't Harrison's mom realize that this game is rated M, you know, for Mature, as in people old enough understand that binge drinking isn't for everyone? Honestly? Honestly?

I'm like a whisper in the wind.

Is it just me or did the TIES (you know tie like in when two opponents finish a competition with the same score) in the Bungie vs. The World Playlist misteriously dissapeared when Bungie proclaimed itself the winner in said playlist by a close margin.

By the way, thanks for warning us about those Recon thieves... I guess that if I ever find one of them impersonating a Bungie employee who claims to be giving out free Recon I should ask for a proof of employment into Bungie which has been verified by 7 actual Bungie employees and then ignore him/her... or something like that...

  • 07.17.2009 8:05 PM PDT

I hope the Bungie vs. the World maps get a nice return in an upcoming month's Double EXP Weekend!

August's 7 on the 7th will be like the Bungie vs World playlist... minus the recon stuff going on of course.

Oh man Chief's visor is so shiny in that opening pic. Hypnotic. Anywho, nice apology. Wish I could go to comic for even more reasons now. Stupid living in Minnesota! You guy's are gonna have ODST and Capcom's got limited edition SF Tournament sticks and sweet sweet Udon art books and artist there. Some day after my kid and future kids have grown up and moved out maybe I will actually be able to afford such a trip. :) Nice update though.

The Original Recon winner..

Halo Mansion, check it out on youtube and see how i won Recon

May i remind whomever's mom this is, who is complaining about drinking......

if you were oddly miss-informed, the game is rated "M" for Mature!!!!!!

+18, which are Adults, who can/should be able to handle stuff like this!!!

If you have a 5 year old son playing this game, let me remind you.. your probably putting stuff in that kid's head of his, not so good stuff a 5 year old should be playing and listening too. Maybe you should consider that since this is an adult +18 game, maybe the gaming company's who decide which rating the game is, ( E for Everyone, T for Teen, etc.) just for -blam!- and giggles, decided, oh... i dont know, to put M for Mature on the game for a reason?

Look, lady.. this website is based off a ~'Mature Rated Game'~ how more obvious do i have to get? Buy your son Hot-wheels and let him listen to Barney the Dinosaur on TV, so he'll stay young while he can, cause let me tell you, your kids gona have problems if he learns about guns and blowing up -blam!- in the first grade, cause thats all he's ever going to talk about.

Your in the middle of Church,

"Whoa Mom!! I was playing Halo and i -blam!- this kid up, and I teabagged his corpse!! it was awesome!!!"
........what do you think your pastor would say?

Point is... look at the label Before you Buy A Game!

Doesnt take a Rocket Scientist to figure that one out...

...Words of the Wise...

So I'm guessing that inviting you guys down to Dimples here in Burbank for a little bit of karaoke and liquid refreshmen might be out of the question then?

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Harrison's mom wasn't complaining when I kicked her out last night...

In all seriousness, I thought last weeks update was hilarious. Sometimes we are better with a few drinks in us, but usually not. :)
