In Soviet Russia you pilot many flying vehicles while Nikolai embarks on crazy journey of revenge filled with movie references....

So on one hand you complain about how Bungie made the blue flames not special by giving them to everybody, but then you complained that since not everybody could get the swag bag that it sucked.

Gray socks are best socks. White is second, black third. Every other sock color is simply horrible.

I saw Achronos get beat by everyone he played, and he got beat hard. Totally worth watching.

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

Yeah, you're right. People say that you set standards too unrealistically high, but here's the thing - Bungie has met such expectations in the past - hell, just a year or two ago they gave away a whole damn map for free! Even if it was a remake, who gives a crap? Still a free map. This year the only thing I got out of Bungie day is the blue flames, and I really don't care about those because nobody does anymore.

You know, I think that OP's post is moot unless he can name another studio that put on such fanfare.

Blizzard actually hit 20 years as well. What did we get? I think it was an ingame pet and a shiny commemorative webpage.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

If they had released the ViDoc on Bungie day it would have been much, much better.


Yeah but if it was a unfinished mess or if large amounts of the footage were missing it wouldn't be that good a vidoc.


Their fault for not working on it earlier hurp durp.

They have been working on it for the last... 20 years...

Some recent footage came in late....

Shut your face.

Valve. Valve gives out free -blam!- all he time. You can email Gabe asking for a thing or two or an autograph and end up with a box of goodies. All Bungie did was go into a playlist, anything else Valve has been doing for years.

Personally, I'm disappointed you guys blew up my estimates for how many steaks we'd have to pay out. They come out of Urk's wages, you know.

hahahahah Sorry, but a deal is deal.

Let's be honest, it could be a lot worse.

Bungie was giving away free in game stuff or cheap things like the swag bag to send Halo out with a bang, even bigger than the bang that sent Johnson out. It was also so not a whole lot of people would complain.

I had lots of fun! I don't know how you didn't. I ranked up twice yesterday because of those slot machines in the Bungie Day playlist. I'm very satisfied. I also bought a charity t-shirt!

  • 07.08.2011 9:45 AM PDT

Bungie does more than just Bungie day. Not everyone got what they wanted. I wanted to play with Bungie, but I didn't. Yeah, it was sad, but I'm not complaining. I can't believe you think Bungie day this year was just about the playlist and steak.

First off...The World beat Bungie for revenge.

Second...The festivities started on the 23rd of June!

Third...we got flames and name plates

(I'm done counting)....Bungie gave money to charity

Bag O' Swag

Lots of rare items

Bungie Aerospace

ViDoc on 8-2-11

And most of all...they gave birth to Halo ten years ago, and Bungie 20 years ago. With out them, we wouldn't be here.

So stop complaining and go on with life. There are always things you won't get in life.

Also, on /v/, some kid made a thread about sending Gabe and email. In return, he got a shirt, mouse pad, some TF2 patches and some TF2 Playing cards, IIRC. He may have gotten more, but I can't fully remember. Those are just two stories. He has let people tour Valve, as well. There are two threads on the Steam forum that have proof for that. And then there is the podcast group that got to interview Gabe at Valve, the video chat Gabe had with a school on marketing etc.

Yea...

Well, I was without Live yesterday, so my opinion may not carry as much weight as the others... It seems to me that you are being ungrateful. It was a contest, you enter and you get a chance to play against Bungie. You had the same chance as everyone in that playlist.

We're always up-state at our lakehouse during Bungie day. This Bungie day is practically non-existent if you don't have the luxury of being able to sit at your xbox.

You know what, I am actually sick and tired of this lol

I had so much fun yesterday - I don't care if I didn't meet Bungie, it was just great to be a part of the 120 000 players, getting on Reach and having fun.
This whole two weeks has actually been pretty cool - and I think anyone who calls Bungie out for this is shooting in the dark - they put on so much for the community, and the only disappointment comes out of people over hyping it for themselves.

OP, what have you been smoking?

Its's funny because I think the main reason everybody got the blue flames was becuse we had alot of people getting mad just because it was only limited to Bungie employees.Reminds me of the red flames all over agian. The statment that JOEY has is basicaly the same thing with the flames.

Wow, thats actually a really good point. I guess all of the good work they've done for us made us expect more than they could give us right now.
