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

War.
War never changes.

Off-Topic: That link had cRaZyT101 in it! I'm his interwebz-'lawyer'!

On-Topic: Always wondered where the name came from...

Positive vibes.

Saying, "Check out myass.net" really doesn't flow as well as, "Check out bungie.net."

Perhaps I am just crazy.

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.

I still like to think that the joke is that there is no joke.

BAM said the lady

The name comes from a punch line of a very dirty Joke, that only the founders know...maybe some other Bungie employee's know...

I'm not even joking. I know this sounds troll-like but I'm serious. I probably shouldn't even be talking about it. Ima go back and edit that reply just in case urk sees this thread.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Sigh...

I've never really looked into it nor ever heard of the reasoning behind "Bungie".

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Well, you see, the name Bungie comes from *gets sniped*

Caboose -1


It looks like a Puma?!?

Alex Seropian(Founder of bungie) Said that the name "Bungie" was a fun name.

  • 08.21.2011 11:32 PM PDT

Yes, I did make that mess. What are you going to do about it?

just a guess, maybe cause if they fell hard in the gaming industry they knew that they would always bounce back up, kinda like a bungie jumping(and I don't mean when you go from thread to thread troll posting on the B.net). Thats my guess.

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.
I'm pretty sure this is correct.

Wake me, when you need me.

Let's just say the founders enjoyed a lot of pizza and the class of Stoshs' mother.

If I called my video game developer company 'Bungie', I must have thought long and hard for a name. Maybe the founders of Bungie went bungee jumping, or have always wanted to.

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

Clearly they read your mind, then time traveled to name their company after your name so you would be their fan. Clearly.
