Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I think it was because Halo was code-named "-blam!-," and they liked it enough to make it the filter. Plus it sounds good, or something.

I'd actually be okay with that.

I believe there is a script which can actually alter -blam- to something else. But, Bungie always have a reason for performing a certain action, and even something as small as -blam- has meaning behind it.

Edit: acnboy was correct.

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

This account is now retired due to WLID changing. Webteam needs to fix that, seriously >.>

Perhaps it symbolizes the screeching tires that is profanity squeezing into our -blam!- sentences?

*RAGE*! This is the Bungie.net community! Arg! You guys are slackin'!

Blam never originated from halo. Blam started way before. Blam started when Bungie was still a bunch of dudes in a small place at Chicago. The Employees many of times heard the screeching of tires from cars outside and started a tradition of yelling "Blam!" supposedly to create a sense of completion after the tire squeals.

If you think about it for a little, you could probably see how one day two employees were probably having a normal conversation as a car screeched outside and one employee cussed at the same time as the others shouted "Blam!"; thus creating something like "oh yeah that glitch" *begin tire screech* "was one hell of a" "BLAM!".

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Wasn't Halo codenamed Monkey Nuts?

According to Halo Nation, It was used to replace the original name "Monkey Nuts" because project lead Jason Jones could not bring himself to tell his mother he was working on a game called "Monkey Nuts."

This sounds plausible.

The word -blam!- was created a long time ago when Bungie was developing a new game title. On a rumor, it was developed when the employees overheard the car wreck in downtown, Chicago, where they would say "Blam" for ever accident it occurred. They used that name for their new project title, which became "Halo".

Judging how they empathizing "blam" from car wreck to cross out profanity words, it really means that someone is in a car accident when they say it.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Blam! is the codename of Halo while it was in development. RESPECT IT!

Just check bungiepedia!Originally used way back in the Bungie Chicago office. When vehicle tires could be heard screeching due to having a near miss with another vehicle, "Blam!" would be said out loud in the hopes that the vehicles would crash. Halo 1 was known as "Project Blam!" for a short period of time during very early development. More recently, Blam! is used for the bungie.net word censorship filter.
One of the earliest uses of this word was in a read me file in the minotaur folder, which detailed an argument between Alex Seropian and "Chucky" (in which both persons argue over who gets to be player number 4), the last line was Blam! (uttered by Jason Jones).
You guys make my feel like some sort of ancient historian bearing the truth behind myths and legends.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Would you rather hear someone swearing, or cars impact?

Hence, -blam!-.

I like -blam!- with the -blam!- filter...

I don't know, seems okay. I don't mind seeing -blam!- all the time. :3

If I had a -blam!- for every time I heard a car crash, there would be so many -blam!- s it -blam!- ing wouldn't be funny anymore.

Key

Because halo was originally called -blam!-...

Bye.

Wasn't Halo's original codename Monkey nuts? And it was changed when Jason was on the phone to his mother. He called it -blam!- so he didn't have to say the original codename.

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

Izak has it right with the tires squilling. When i first read through the post. I thought that the answer about Jason not being able to fess up to his mother what the project name was. But Izak brought it back with the truth.

I was just providing people with the knowledge of why halo was called -blam!-. Not the whole lore and mythology behind -blam!- and it's associations with Bungie.

Ok, no need to justify yourself. I didn't even read your post. Not insult you by any means. :)

So wouldn't it be cool if they replaced -blam!- with Monkey Nuts? So every time someone cussed on here, it would just say -Monkey Nuts!- instead of -blam!-? I think it would be cool.
