Subject: Where did the name "Bungie" come from?

I'm just here to check the meters.

Sorry if this has already been answered but I'd just like to know.

No one knows but the founders... not even joking.

And Foman... but with all the trips his mom makes to the Bungie Studios he's basically like family over there.

No idea. I would love to know though.

Foman's mom is classy.

Even after they became a "official business" that decided to keep it.

From the looks of his avatar I can't tell if Foman is Chinese or what? Still a cool guy though.
Anyway we must get to the bottom of the origins of Bungie's name...

This is the way the world ends,

This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

They say it comes from the illegitimate child of fire and darkness and it only responds to the call of the One Ring. Sleep with one eye open...

Funny you asked this because I was watching my H3 Legendary disk and they said that the name came from some sort of dirty joke that they couldn't say on the DVD. I for one would like to know what the joke was.

Whoo.

I know, at least I'm pretty sure I do, but I want to see how long it'll be till someone else who "knows" comes in and says what it is.

I've heard the joke, I don't like the name.
I would tell, but I only heard it on the Flood and you know how reliable that can be.

I thought that their true name was Arete Seven, and that they're only "doing business as" (or DBA) Bungie.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

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

- "Cross of Iron"

The reason behind the name is probably going to die with the company. So the only way to know is to join Bungie.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

This is the actual joke. Bungie actually got it wrong. Its not the punchline. To think, "My Ass" was the actual name of this company. We've been saying the wrong name for so long. Boy do I feel weird.

Ok, here is what I heard on the Flood. I am only paraphrasing what I heard from the Flood. This info may not be 100% accurate, but here is what I heard from the Flood:

***********************************************************
GRAPHIC STORY BELOW, READ WITH CAUTION:

Three men have gone hiking in a jungle. They are walking along and then are ambushed by tribe people who knock them out.

They awaken at the tribe's camp. The chief walks up and asks, "Death or Bungie?" The first man, thinking nothing could be worse than death, opts for Bungie and the tribe began sodomizing the man. He got up in tears and ran away.
The second man still decided that Bungie was better than death, and the tribe sodomized him even more brutally than the first man. He dragged himself away whimpering.
The third man thought for a while and chose death, not wanting to undergo the hardship his friends had gone through. The chief of the tribe smiled and said, "Then it is death... by Bungie!"

*************************************************************
Again, I stress this is what I have heard from another thread on the flood and I am just paraphrasing. I do not know if this is true.
