Subject: Podophobia Countdown

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

Podophobia, a privately held company created by Marty O'Donnell and Harold Ryan, has a website of the same name that includes a countdown. Do you guys think this could be important? Or is it just another Bungie Aerospace countdown all over again?

I apologize if this is the wrong forum.

Five years older and wiser
The fires are burning, I'm fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests, and on hire

Not this again. This site had a -blam!- countdown on it before, it's fake.

Key

I guess we'll find out on the 16th.

Ah, thanks for the heads up.

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

Make choices, and don't look back.

No idea what it could be, guess we'll have to wait and see ^_^

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Maybe Marty will release a piece of the music their making for the new IP. *fingers crossed*

That would be absolutely incredible!

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I hate countdowns, they're like an OCD meter for me :-|

If it has to do with the awesome music of Martin O'Donnell I'm all in.

if its fake, then why wasn't this thread lock for being off-topic? IMO its an internal mile-stone timer.

“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

I will continue to exist for the 11 days, 1 hour, and 9 minutes to figure out what this may be.

If it turns out to be fake, my existence will be in vain.

Rev.6-8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Bungie hasn't done countdown timers since ODST at E3 2008. These things are usually fake.

Really? :/

That's too bad, but it's good to know. I probably wasn't going to be too enthralled into seeing what's up, but it would've been cooler if Bungie was going to release something.

However, after reading this thread, it does get me wondering (again) about what Bungie's plans are with Podophobia Entertainment.

Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.

Another site with a countdown?

Oh, look. I'm pretty damn sure it's fake. Bungie-held sites show unprotected contact info.

That may be true, however the OP said that this was owned by a few employees so they may have wanted their information protected. Then again, this probably is either something we don't need to know about, nothing, or a hoax.

What exactly is the point of a hoax like this? There isn't much to be gained by this.

How is any popularity being gained? I don't see any claim on the site that it is affiliated with Bungie, simply a countdown.
