Apparently your reading comprehension is not all there, I didn't say that it necessarily irritates me. It's just annoying.

I'll agree that this wasn't the best and most well planned Bungie day we've ever had.
I'm pretty sure this is what I was trying to get at. Thinking about it, part of the reason of the disappointment is because most of the exciting news was spread out over weeks instead of being all revealed in one day. Nevertheless, the quality didn't match up with previous years'.
I edited a lot btw.
Hahaha I noticed. I feel the same exact way. It doesn't really bother me, but I don't want to say that I don't care because I obviously do for typing this all out. I care because I wanted Bungie to be more involved with their parting of Halo forever and seem like they actually cared. It seems as of right now that they just threw things at us hoping to satisfy both new and old fans. Here's hoping that tomorrow's update won't be more useless banter.

I've been around here for a long time, and I too am somewhat let down. Obviously a small percentage of the active community could purchase a swag bag or get a chance to play Bungie, so what does the majority of the community get? Blue Flames. But this wasn't even a surprise or even made available on Bungie Day... I am the perfect example. This Bungie Day was no different for me than any other day. I already had Eternal, and couldn't play Bungie. Do I get gamerpics or a theme or a map or some new information or a video? Nope.

So what makes the '08 dashboard and theme pics worth more than the blue flames?

To me, if I still use something 3 years after its release compared to the use of something for one day, that makes the former item worth more than the latter.

What would have made it any better? Honestly, these past few weeks Bungie has dished out a lot of stuff to their fans. From the 20th anniversary items in the store, Halo Reach in game nameplates and armor effect, a mobile app, steaks, a 30 min vDoc that comes out next month, and a RvB short.

If you ask me they did more this Bungie day then in years past. The only thing that would have made it sweeter was a free DLC map, but knowing Micro$oft that wasn't possible. I guess the OP expected Bungie to give the millions of Halo fans free candy.

Urine has quite the tang to it.

Tru7h. C4RN4GE. Bungie.

The way the swag bags were handled was my only disappointment. That was in part due to Amazon crashing on us.

Nothing topped Bungie Day 2009, but this year went well for the most part.

Except I never was because I never wanted more than 5 items, the majority of which were clothing items.

So what you're saying, OP, is that you simply liked the blue flames less than the dashboard?

Well, gee, sorry Bungie decided to do something nice for its community. Sorry they gave you free things to hopefully make playing their game more enjoyable. And hell, sorry that they apparently care (for some god-damned reason) about their overly needy, immature, and spoiled community enough to actually participate in it.

Does your sense of entitlement know no bounds? Honestly people, all the -blam!- whining that has gone on in the past week is revolting. Grow up or move on.

Hypocritical, don't you think? You're complaining about my complaining.

What made you think I didn't have fun today either? I had fun with other things besides Halo. At the end of the day (more like 1 am), I just layed down and thought how Bungie's final departure with their franchise was rushed and disappointing.

5 out of 6 pediatricians can't tell the difference between a resident vagabond and a local hobo.

- Bungie gave alot of effort in this Bungie Day, far more than any other developer that I can think of would ever do.
- Auctions are for charity. They are limited, and were specified to be so.
- Though I found a lack of visual updating or news from Bungie, I know it will be coming in the near future. This was not a dissapointment, because I wasn't overhyping anything.
- Reach is the best halo game to date. It merely needs some title updating. If you found Reach to be a dissapointment in any way, you are nothing more than a whiner who hypes up things leading to your own dissapointment. All reach needs is slight balancing and care from a title update.

Let me put it to you this way:

Blue flames = Halo Reach
When halo reach is gone (which will be relatively soon) the flames go with it. Let's be honest though, who really wanted them in the first place?

BDay Dashboard Theme = Xbox Dashboard = every game
This will never lose it's value and is linked to Bungie itself.

I mean honestly, since when is bungie day halo day?

I'm not here to complain at all, I just don't think you get it.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Well written, logical, true. It's just, who really cares? I do think Bungie Day is about Bungie saying thank you to the community, but that doesn't necessarily include giving away things for free. Were certain items coveted which only a few people could obtain (swag bags)? Sure. But the fact remains that any gift Bungie would have given the community (whether it be blue flames or swag bags for all) would have been "cheapened" under you definition if it wasn't exclusive. They could have either made it exclusive (which means that it is worth more but not everyone gets it), or they could have made it available to everyone (but it would have been "cheapened" because everyone had it). This year they did both so depending on what you wanted, I don't see how you can be disappointed.

Anyway, as I said before, who really cares? You got some things for free for no reason and life goes on. It really doesn't warrant all these threads about it.
