When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

As some of you may know, Bungie recently held a charity event for the Dr. Stanley Stamm Summer Camp. The event was a lot smaller than I expected, but still raised a good amount of money for the charity. They said something like $6,000 in a single night, which will probably admit a lot of kids to the camp. Well, I'm sure you don't want to read all this, so I'll show you some pictures of the stuff for auction.

Really that was about it there that was Bungie related that was for the auction (forgot to get a picture of the Halo 2 Master Chief statue that was up for auction). There was a lot of stuff there that was kind of random that I didn't really expect to be there, I expected a lot more Bungie stuff, such as the old games and limited/signed stuff. But the things ranged from LA fitness 1 year memberships, to sports memorabilia, to Pokemon cards (yes, really). But they did have this awesome setup of Bungie history shown through games and Bungie memorabilia.

Full Setup
Early Stuff
Only copy of Operation: Desert Storm that I've seen (including online)
Myth and stuff
Oni and Halo 1, 2 & 3
Halo 3: ODST and Reach
Sniper Weaponz
BR and Pistol Weaponz
Gravity Hammer and Spiker Weaponz
XBOX and Helmet Stuff
Collection of stuff

Well, there was quite a lot of stuff going on. There was a lot of casual talk between the attendees and the Bungie guys, silent auction, and of course some Halo: Reach action between between a little bit of everyone.

There was team slayer action going on, and a Firefight competition to see who could get the most points. First place prize was a Halo: Reach XBOX 360. Second place (which I took) prize was Halo: Reach Lengendary Edition. Third Place was a collection of all the Halo games, and a signed poster.

But when it comes down to it, it really was just a lot of interaction between the fans and the Bungie guys, and all for a good cause. I got to meet a lot of cool guys both fans and Bungie guys alike. I also learned some stuff while I was there.

Harold Ryan apparently was only interested in getting alcoholic beverages at the auction.

Pokemon surprisingly still exists, and people are still interested in buying Pokemon cards.

Killtaculars are easiest to get against Bungie Employee's.

And Urk and I wear the exact same shoes.

Spread the love...

Thanks for all the info!

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

All of my want, if only I lived near Bungie HQ.

:p

Yeah, but a lot of the stuff wasn't Bungie related. Other then the art, the only Bungie related stuff was the Halo 2 statue, and the Scarab action figure.

Why did you click the more button? By accident? Reply is at the bottom...

I demand Bungie relocate to Scotland and host this again. Please, I insist.

It's a shame that I wasn't at home from college that weekend, otherwise it would have been fun to go.

That pistol is actually made out of wood.

That's pretty neat! I forgot about this to be honest. Glad it was good.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

Sweet review and data. Looks swanky.

"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."

I see a part of myself in these pictures. Everything there brings back a moment I hold dear. Each item, a memory in the brief span of time that has been my life thus so far. To see all of it there is a wonderful thing.

Thank you Bungie for all that you have done, and thank you Switchfoot for the photos that you have provided.

  • 11.07.2011 3:55 PM PDT

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I wish I could have gone. Why do I have to live on the wrong coast Bungie, why?

Yeah. The one with the dual SMGs. I was pretty surprised myself.

I remember reading on the card what the worth of the item was. On every item, they put the estimated value of the collection. It was something like $250, and I remember being pretty surprised by how cheap it was. When it was up to announce the winner, everyone in the room was gasping to see who won it.

I would have bid on it, but there was simply no way I was going to get that thing on the plane.

Edit: Oh yeah, the reason I didn't get a picture of it, because the first time around that I was taking pictures of everything, I didn't realize that it was for sale.

$250! Damn. When you think about it, that must cost about as much as some special edition versions of games nowadays. But yeah, the problem is with actually transporting it.. Oh well, I'm sure some lucky person will enjoy it, and it's all for a good cause.

Some of that art work is spectacular. Glad to see you had fun!
