Subject: No Pentathlon this year?

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

I was wondering becuase Bungie hasn't posted about it (from what I know of). Guess we won't have any new funny pics for the year.

Does anyone know if there doing one this year?

They are? I had no idea, I didn't see like a thing they posted about it.

They could still have one. When is it usually?

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

For somebody who follows every gold texter and mod on this site like a hound dog I am surprised you umissed it. From the Mail Bag 1.0....

Sven Nietzsche: Will there be some sort of write-up for the 2012 Bungie Winter Pentathlon?

Why yes there will! Stay tuned to Bungie.net toward the end of January for a day filled with bulletins about an epic clash between new hires and veteran founders. I will be splitting my time between covering the events and captaining the competitive shooter team for the Newbie school.

I completely missed that. My "hound dog" instincts must be going bad. Sounds cool, thanks for posting that. I seriously didn't know.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

There will be scotch... er... blood.

Didact's Reprisal -
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

Don't mix 'em up.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

blood.
Bungie's new game is Blood. The action RPG that promises a fulfilling storyline and blood-bumping boss battles.

Both? That'd be interesting. I could see the headline now. "Blood and scotch run through the streets in the aftermath of horrific gaming accident at local studio."

Something like that, but better. I'm a mathematics major; the English language isn't by best suit.

You could work out the amount of alcohol they would need to consume for this to happen.

Haha, yes! I could also find the instantaneous velocity of the worlds population as they're released from Bungies giant slingshot. Hire me bungie, my skills can only be an asset to your future endeavors. haha!

Did you always work for Bungie since you were a member of bungie.net or did you get hired after you became a member? I ask because your name seems vaguely familiar as someone I've seen around these forums but I don't remember if you were a bungie employee then...

Accident?

No, you misunderstand...

Will the scotch be cheap and of a high alcohol concentration?

I believe that's called moonshine.

I cannot even fathom what non-accidental events could have transpired that would result in "Blood and scotch in the streets". That's a party I want to go to.
