So it's Friday night at 9pm (UK time) and usually the BWU pops up in a couple of hours. I used to look forward to the update, it was funny, sometimes informative but usually a good read.

I know that the guys at Bungie have gone quiet, but is it too much to ask for a little update?

TLDR - I miss the BWU do you?

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

Yes, I miss it, however I understand the reasoning behind not having it for a while.

And yes, I miss it, but I don't expect it back anytime soon.

Must have missed that, I just thought it was appropriate as it was Friday.

Sorry =(

It's fine, but it was literally the exact same thing, with the same options and everything.

It died though, so who cares? :)

I voted no, because half of them were kind of pointless. I miss the ones where Urk/Frankie spilled out some new info on upcoming (halo) games, but after Reach was released many of them provided nothing but Urk's words of wisdom and Bungie all stars.

However, I wish Urk would say hi every now and then...

Wow, you weren't kidding, it was almost exactly the same. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who misses it.

Come on Bungie give us some info on Tiger, please.

  • 09.02.2011 1:08 PM PDT

He posts every here and there, but the Updates would be pointless because they have nothing to talk about -- Halo is no longer theirs and that made up the majority of the WU topics. They can't talk about their new game either, which sucks.

WHEN WILL THEY COME BACK? D:

  • 09.02.2011 1:08 PM PDT

I don't miss them anymore. I'm used to not seeing BWU's. But there are still top stories that appear on the front page. To me, that's even better than a BWU, because it's a surprise.

I miss them. But they will (hopefully) be back in a blaze of glory led by Urk riding a chickenpede on fire.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

Eh, I don't really miss them to be honesty. The content began to die months before they declared they were going dark. I'll probably start reading them again though when new buzz is about.


I would totally draw that if my tablet hadn't died.

Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Yeah, I miss it. But I believe it'll be back slightly believe they reveal their project, otherwise I'd miss it to a greater extent. For now, I miss the halo movie clan more.

Actually what I really miss are their humpdays. If those come back with their new game, I'll be ecstatic. Especially if clans are incorporated. (See that, Urk? Clans.)

But if Urk gets roasted too, it'll mess with the flavor. And I don't care how good he tastes; I know what would be roasted first.

I was just going to make a ginger joke, but you went there.

OT: It would be cool to share the BWUs with Harebrained Schemes (can we just call it HBS?). I understand, though, that HBS would like to keep traffic on their site, too.

I have returned

I miss frankie....

Agreed, although Lukems was awesome too, as well as URK. But you can not replace the old school Halo 2 and 3 Frankie updates.

  • 09.02.2011 2:15 PM PDT

HBS it is, and I will refer to it as such from hence forth on. YOU GO CORTANA!

I'm used to not having updates so it doesn't bother me.

  • 09.02.2011 2:27 PM PDT

I miss it, but I understand that Bungie is trying to mix things up a little, and focus on other projects. I feel like in the near future, Bungie will begin another tradition of keeping us updated on what's going down in their studios.

Yes, but we loose many things for the better good. I know once the updates return, they'll be better than ever.

No. I just skimmed through them anyway.

Yes, but the absence of Bungie activity will only make any future announcements sweeter.

  • 09.02.2011 3:17 PM PDT

I think it will be odder when I go back to College and there won't be any massive auto-refresh sessions on Chrome to remind me that it's Friday.
