When I went on B.net this morning an image flashed on my screen before the normal page loaded. It didn't look like anything that was normally on B.net, so I looked for it. After digging through the source code for the homepage for a little bit I found it here.

What could this little easter egg be?

Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.

I can't prove it, but I can say it.
Stephen Colbert

i am not shawn from youtube, I created this username because I thought it was an unique name but if I could change it I would since it did not belong to me originally

I've seen this flash on my screen as well, I sort of looks like part of the background. Possibly a map or something I suppose...

Oh My GOD! This is insane!

Guys. I just reloaded the page 7 times in exactly 7.7 seconds and the image changed to this!

It must be a sign!

(Or possibly just a random happenstance where the background image loads with a significant lapse in time before the foreground loads.)

It's just the background image.

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

Its the background to the forums and most of the site itself.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Yeah, sounds like a load error o something.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Isnt it great? Achrnos can just take some ink blots, throw it up as a background and boom we scarmbke around looking for its hidden meaning.

Yeah, I've seen this every day since they updated the site. Thought nothing of it. I would certainly leave (potentially) unrelated stuff around a site like this If I was in charge!

If you put the two "ink blots" together they start to look a lot like a map.

Maybe it is, maybe it isnt. But Achronos knows by now how to get us worked up over nothing. Hell part of it looks like fingerprints all smeared together.

I think it is for the dynamic background / hints for Bungie's new IP.

It is a new background, for what purpose actually beats me

It's not a map, it's a nebula. (from what I've seen of the weeks old discussion on this stuff)

  • 08.15.2011 7:59 AM PDT

it just looks like a negative of the default background

No, those are the real colors.

There is a cow in the way.

It's a clue to their new game but no one is going to know until Bungie tells us after the game is released so -blam!- it. Or it could be a map to world domination, so -blam!- it anyway.

If you're reading this, congratulations. You've just pressed a button to find out a little bit more about me. Not that you will, but well done anyway.

I think it'll take place somewhere in space... and time!

We're getting all dimensional now.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
-George S. Patton

Probable but probably just the background image.
