I just read through this thread again and all I can think of is..

Shut up nerds!
I really want to help but I can't. I've tried messing with the numbers and everything but I don't go anywhere. I feel like this whole hex/binary/acsII are different languages that I've never heard of before. Can anybody link me up to articles so I can familiarize myself with it? Did most of you learn this stuff in High School or College? I'm guessing you learned this in College.
I've been learning Binary and Hex in my computer and engineering classes in college. I've used this in the past to kinda teach myself a little binary and whatnot.
Regular words go in the box to the left, hit decode and it'll turn what you want into hex or binary or base 64.
Thanks, Beon also gave a link to that website and I've been using it but none of that stuff makes any sense to me. I still have no idea how you guys decoded this.....

Alright, got it! After getting the RGB data from the colors on the bottom right, it adds up to be
466972
737420
636f6e
766572
742074
686520
And those are ASCII, a converstion of those brings us to this, "First convert the hexadecimal to binary. Then, regroup the bits into chunks equal to our favorite number. Finally, read as ASCII". That leads to this
Most engineers who practive computer science pragmatically repeatedly go with the common practive and leverage ones and zeroes to pen their programs. Generating code like this generally is a pretty well-founded pattern to employ. On the flip side, Bungie is not your typical engineering group. We write programs without ones. Our people do not like the number. Why? Well, there are greater, grander numbers to apply for our wily craft. Mayhapy you disagre, perchance you agree. What matters is that seven is more awesome than one will ever imagine itself to be. And so, we code with ample sevens, not ones. Fact: programs.
....how in the hell did he get that? I know he explained it on his post but I still have no idea. If you want to explain it then I'll appreciate it but if not then meh it's not a big deal. I'm going to bed I'll check this thread tomorrow.
