Subject: What's With All the Hate?

Since there is a lot of words being said about Bungie, I would like share a story with you that someone has shared.

I have a saying here in the Ivory Tower that many people have heard over many years. It's this: "Be Nice to the Goose".

The story goes that there once was a goose that laid golden eggs. The owner of the goose got greedy and cut it open looking for more golden eggs but alas only killed the goose.

Having a goose that lays golden eggs is a special thing. However, don't make the mistake of being nice to the eggs and expecting more gold. Be nice to the goose. Then you might get more golden eggs.

End of story.

What does this parable mean to you? Why should we be nice to the goose? Lastly. Do you think we should give Bungie a chance to see what awesome things they have in store for us?

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Did Marty say that?

Stop banning me please.

Bungie will go out of business. How can they top Halo without doing something similar or some kinds of skyrim/runescape/wow type of game? they can't.

Isn't that what people thought when Bungie ended Marathon?

Not much use censoring a name when the first sentence is, "I have a saying here in the Ivory Tower."

In TMA, in context, he was talking about how he is the one that created the music. You don't say, "Oh the music is good" and expect more music to be good. You say, "Oh man Marty did an awesome jon," THEN you might expect more music to be good.

Thank God Bungie isn't working on any of those games!

I was a finalist :P

It's basically stating that you congratulate the one who does the work, and not the work itself. It's entirely true if you think about it; what you find good would not have been there without the person/people who created it, so why restrict them from the positive feedback?

This. Sounds like something Marty'd say.

Funny, I didn't think that message was in any way hateful.

Ivory Tower is the location where Marty O'Donnell composed his music. I don't know if it's called that in their new office, however.

Yeah, that adds to why I think it was Marty. And also he says "I have a saying here in the Ivory Tower," so I think it was Marty.

CONCLUSION: It was Marty. Take that OP, with your censorship.

C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

I honestly haven't been hearing any bashing about Bungie. I think leaving Halo behind them was the smart move. Instead of being sellouts, Bungie stuck it to the man and became an independent studio again. I, for one, am extremely psyched to see what they have cooked up in their new universe.

I have the utmost faith in them.
