If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.

(If I'm using improper terminology by using 'flash games' in the title, please let me know.)

Be honest, if Bungie.net offered another pastime other than the forums, would you ever leave this site? I feel like such a feature would be amazing for community retention during down times in between games, such as the period we're experiencing right now.

I don't mean anything big; just something like a text-based game like Pandemic or Project Terra, a game where users could interact in leader boards and such. (Something other than message boards.) The slight amount of competition offered by said games could fuel conversation and interaction on the forums enough to keep things active in between games.

With that being said, I'm no programmer; I have no idea if this would be feasible on the coding side. I think that possibly making it a feature for Bungie Pro subscribers would add incentive for Bungie to implement it, thus making it doable from a business perspective.

Anyway, in a ideal world where this would be technologically doable, would it be a feature you would like?

Nah. I come here for the discussion and spend too much time doing that anyway.

Also, and although I think it goes without saying, the theme of these games would be tied in with Bungie lore and/or the new IP. Hell, it could be used as a medium for a viral marketing campaign for the new IP.

If Bungie is under pressure to be making these flash games to a high standard, more time and design would have to be done. Time which could be used to keep working on their new developments. Seriously, there's enough here to keep us content in my eyes. Not that it wouldn't be cool or I doubt they could manage it, but I reckon they have more important things to attend to.

Whoops.

This must be the first time there has ever been a repeat thread in the Septagon.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Your memory must be shot Primo! You really don't remember the few times that this had popped - up way back when? Hylebos is too "new" to remember such things, so he's automatically forgiven.

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

Start up a bungie.net bbs and put a bungie themed legend of the red dragon on it. I'd play.

Indeed. You have brought a blight to this forum, now it will spread. We'll blame every repeat thread we see on you from now on.

Hasn't he made just about every repeat thread at some point before?

Anywho, I'm all for Burrito's BUNGLE Bash being the greatest flashgame ever. Make the explosion hit the other explosion to explode the explode-able thing.

I guess I would like the feature, but I wouldn't leave the forums for it.

Join SIP today! We smell good. Promise.


It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

I actually really like this idea. Something cute and simple to keep the fans drooling. Possibly even game hints within the flash games.

- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I would love a simple flash game that somehow tied into other games by Bungie.

I wouldn't want them to divert time from The Next Big Thing, but it would be nice to see eventually.

Proposal:
I understand that the Bungie Community (us), love video games. I also understand that there are members of the community who are currently taking classes in flash animation and game development and design. Wouldn't it be possible to make this a community collaboration (provided we get the proper licensing and all that jazz)?

Thoughts?

I'd like if we had our own Soffish that we had to feed everyday to keep alive. And we could do mini-games with our Soffish to unlock accessories for the aquarium.
