Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I have under very bright light.

They look custom made, I heard there was some story behind them.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

The pen has to unscrew somehow so you can put new ink in it. I doubt it is a throw away pen.

I'm sure a weekly update once mentioned the team being sent a bunch of custom made pens with 117 written on them.

I went through every swag album trying to find that huge yellow Bungie beverage cup. Does anybody know where that is? Or have a picture of it?


It's a grunt bottle from halo 2. Bungie use to sell it in the bungiestore. I don't know where you can find one now though.

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=7744

nvm you said yellow and I fairly remember seeing a pic of that cup in a swag abulm. I also remember the person that got teh bag saying it was a grunt mug or something like that. Trying to find the pic.


Nope, it's not that. What I'm looking for is like a mug, very odly shaped and extremely yellow.


I have it (from when they were originally sold on the Bungie store) what do you want to know about it?

Does anyone know more about the 117 pen?

Pic

I heard they were hand made for Bungie or something, they are extremely rare.

Does anyone have any more info?


Look in the pen for branding, ie, who made the pen?


No noticeable signs of branding, other than 117.

It is a heavy pen and has a very unique texture.


If that's the case it's likely to be worthless with no rarity value, though I wouldn't doubt it being a nice sturdy practical pen in of itself. You can go to most if not all shops that makes custom pens and request the same thing. The outer shell isn't anything special as I've seen it before on other pens and in different colors. If the only other definable feature than that is the '117' printed on there then that too is easily remade. So really, there's nothing to it.

It's a pen custom ordered for a company to write with. What other kinds of special features would you think a practical pen made for a company would have?

Writing Utensil combo-ed with a mini Spartan Laser of course.

But yeah, I didn't really see why some people thought the pens were so cool in the first place.

Well, to me they are special becuase Bungie had them made and probably used them.

who knows, maybe my pen was used to draw some art or sign something.

I will never know. But, that is one of the exciting things about it.

The best part is that it can be done too! Have a pen that twists open. Cut a good third more or less of the upper part of the pen in question, and put in a laser pointer. Make the body green. Slap on the designation number of the Spartan Laser. Good to go.

And for the more handy do it yourselfers. Just take a disposable pen. Lop off the top half. Encase it in clay. Shape an actual spartan laser form on the top part. Hollow out the barrel. Bake the pen to harden it. Insert a small laser pointer, and voila! You are now the proud owner of a pen that not only writes, but has a spartan laser complete with laser point at the tip of it.

I don't really want to sell it anyway but I think any hardcore halo fan would probably buy it if I put it up for sale.
