I <3 you too Bungie

Can anyone here fill me in? I understand that HCE was originally planned for the Mac platform, and many of Bungie's early games were for Mac (and other platforms such as PS One and PC), but what else is Marty referring to in his tweet today? I assume Apple was part of the techie impetus behind Bungie starting up?

Edit: mistyped quote.

“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

He was a great man, and I think that's enough.

Indeed. They both profited from each other, so I wouldn't think that Bungie would owe anything else to Mac or Steve Jobs.

Just wondering if there was more backstory here. Did they ever meet him or something? Was he personally a driving factor, or was it simply that Apple provided the starting platform?

Huh, think I see what Marty means:

Apple's 1997 Think Different campaign was launched not long after Steve Jobs returned to the company he founded. It began with these words:

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes ... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. ... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. ... They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

I was watching that video just yesterday...

I suppose the quote just refers to Bungie starting up on the Mac.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

Essentially, the Macintosh market, the market that Bungie depended on for survival in its early years, was around because of what Jobs did.

That's a pretty big deal.

Best of random chance

If Bungie owes Steve Jobs anything, we might as well give our lives to Alexander Graham Bell.

I was referring to the telephone that just about everything relies on in the same way that Bungie relied on Mac.

Real life? What is that?
Graphics are good, gameplay sucks. Overhyped IMO.

I don't want to help you. I'm sorry. =(

Er, Jobs introduced Halo CE for the first time ever? Started Bungie on its path to studio-stardom? What more do you want? Dunkin Donuts for Bungie, <3 Steve?

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

They made the first fully functional FPS game for the Mac, which was Pathways into Darkness. They also made Marathon, which was like the Halo of the 90's for Mac.
