Subject: On the Bags O' Swag : The Sadness of a Fan

So I awake this morning to see that my Facebook feed has nicely relayed a post from Bungie about the Bags O' Swag going live soon. Thus, being a good fanboy, I went to their storefront and found the Bag O' Swag item and opened the page and then proceeded to open up a page on Amazon as well -- in case one updated faster. Next, I began to read the comments under Bungie's Facebook post so as to keep up on the news (read: rage,rants, links, etc.). That was as soon as I was awake and out of the shower. It is now 7:00 EST and I have literally been hitting refresh and running back and forth between Bungie's facebook, twitter, and store all day.

Not one time did I EVER see "In Stock" from the Bags O' Swag. The only hint of "In Stock" I got was from a 2nd posting in the store and that brought me to an Amazon seller that was "Gorilla" or something to that effect. Being as how I am conscientious, I figured that it must be a scam. However, because I am also a fanboy, I tried to order one and it ending in a "*** We're sorry. The quantity that you requested is no longer available. The number to the right is the maximum quantity currently available. Please click here to revise your order quantity. *** " message. I was utterly confused.

Several tweets later and it seems like I have missed my chance to buy a Bag O' Swag even though I religiously refreshed, scoured, read, clicked, and believed. I even stood of the verge of scamdom to get my grubby hands on some holy Bungie Merch... Alas, it was to no avail and I have been left saddened. That is all that I have to say.

If a Grunt has a sticky stuck to his head, and no one is around to see or hear it, does it still run in circles screaming,"Get it off, Get it off !"?
