So...for those of you at Bungie that are just getting in to work and checking on this thread, please wipe your tears of laughter before they fall on the keyboard and ruin it.
I slept 3 hours last night....and got on here at 10:30 after leaving at 6:30...and holy crap. It's up to 100.
So....can I just request something of everybody?
-YES this is Microsoft's and Bungie's doings...pleaaaase shut up about it.
-YES this is plot information and something to keep Bungie fans off of Bungie's arse about Halo 2.
-NO Bungie won't say anything about it. YOU'RE supposed to figure out these things. Do you think someone would give you a jigsaw puzzle and then give you the outline plan of how to put it together? If they do say something, it's gonna help the whole hype thing. Knowing Bungie, the people that don't need to know DON'T know, and the people who DO, aren't going to spoil the fun.
-YES this has been done before, not just the Cortana letters. Any major fan of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back know that the movie review site www.moviepoopshoot.com (featured in the movie) was released a little before the movie. If somebody dug through the site hard enough, they would stumble across an exclusive J&SB trailer.
-YES Bungie WOULD take the time to do this. The most awesomely powerful tool in the world of advertising is the Internet Hype. It is extremely powerful. It is an amazing advertising and subliminal message method. Bungie's advertising department has been planning this since before June 14th (when the site was registered at WHOIS). Everything is going according to plan.
So....now that that's out of my hair....I have found some pretty interesting theories, as well as some of my own...too sketchy to explain.
NOTE TO BUNGIE: I love this kind of thing. The whole Easter Egg thingies....you guys are infamous for them (eg. Secret Grunt in The Maw talkin about a teet), and I love it. It was ingenious putting it in your trailer. You guys think like me. YOU ROCK! Now go get some coffee...
