Subject: Bungie and the classroom...

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

Today in my cyber ethics, we talked about fair usage and copyright laws.

My professor's example was the Halo 3 believe trailer.

We watched the video and I couldn't help but make a smile. I thought it was an interesting thing to discuss.

Apparently the song in the trailer (not made by Marty) is public domain and we talked about how this made it so Microsoft could air the ad more while spending less money. There are a lot of economic and copyright issues behind marketing anything.

I guess you can learn a lot from Bungie. With that in mind, has Bungie ever made it to your lecture or classroom?

Not that I can recall. It did make it out to Afghanistan though. A challenge of its own.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

Not too much, but I wish.
Every once and a while when we happen to be talking about Microsoft already it sometimes sort of rabbit trails into Bungie. But sadly, Bungie has never been in the lecture notes.

Nope, but its pretty sweet your teacher used a Halo 3 trailer as an example.

Yeah, apparently by using the song, M$ saved a boatload of cash and could then play the trailer much more. Things like copyrighted music/etc can really make advertising expensive as you have to pay royalties per use.

But the class is about writing on the Internet, so it's cool.

Some of the best Halo LAN parties I've ever taken part in, were down range. We would run Ethernet cables between the hooches. It was such an amazing time considering where we were. There were Bungie posters on the doors so you could tell which hooches were having LANs.

So thanks for making it easier for us!!!

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.

For those who don't know, the song is called Raindrops, by Chopin. It's beautiful song.

The song was more recently used in the credits of the film Prometheus, but it didn't have the same emotional impact as Halo 3's Believe trailer did.

I'd like to take note of how smart your teacher is, he knows that using something from a game would get you teenaged boys to pay attention in class.


That being said, Bungie has never been a factor for any of my classes, ever. Nadda. Nope. It would be cool if an employee came out and gave a speech though, but that would mean crossing the country....

It's a shame it is against the rules to call you out on your rank, seeing as how the level you play at greatly affects the opinions you hold (on gameplay). Generally, if you are bad - Your opinions are wrong, and your argument is invalid.

I wonder how that would apply with supersoldiers who could jump ridiculously high...

Still, that must've been an awesome thing to see.

As for my classroom, nah. I wish it had, but it hasn't. Maybe someday...

To which brings up that discussion, where were the jackals?

On topic; I had a few people in here talk about Halo stuff, but not into detailed. We primarly focused the idea of "First person shooter" and "future-realistic".

One can only dream of discussing Halo and Bungie in the classroom. Sadly, the one teacher who liked video games was a major CoD fan who told me Halo sucks. They still haven't found the body.

Nice! I won't pretend I can match that but... I am hosting a Halo LAN for my Air Force ROTC detachment in a month or two. Tis awesome haha. Right now the only barrier is... which one to pick and how to connect two Xboxs. And I guess I have to find a way to get three more controllers which sucks since I am poor, but I do have the two Xboxs!

Direct ethernet cable. If you need more than 2 Xboxes you can use a Ethernet Switch

Oh, Halo 2 or 3. Swords with shotguns as backup. Unlimited Ammo.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

Nostalgia overload OP, I distinctly remember seeing this trailer for the first time at my grandparents house and how amazing I thought it was.

In my business communications class, we briefly discussed Bungie's team management. I referenced Bungie's about us page in my final paper on building more efficient teams.

Odd number is better than even, men/women balance is important, the optimal range for most projects or sub-projects is three to seven, best being five. Slides between floors are both faster and more fun. Lots of interesting results from that one.

I remember reading about that in the Community Joes! If not that, definitely something that caught my eye. Thanks for your sacrifices.
