A reminder that when solving the challenge, you'll need to accompany your solution with an explanation of how you derived it. Otherwise, you won't receive any credit.

Aight.

Answer: WE'RE STILL DARK, BRO

Method: Binary top-to-bottom, left-to-right, prepended 0, convert to ASCII


Page two?

You're a jerk.

But this jerk wins a shirt. Send me your jerky name, jerky location, and jerky size.

Jerk.

Crap. I had just postulated that there might be binary numbers in the columns because there were absolutely no empty columns.

Good Game SGMX, Good Game.

SGMX's solution works out. Just ran a conversion. And looks like DeeJ confirmed it.

At least this shoots down VGA announcement speculations.

I want to journey into space because... I can think of nothing more beautiful... to take my picture in front of for my Christmas card this year.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Binery, again? I'm disapointed.

Next week we get to hear about Michael Williams starship thingy?! Which I think is Destiny related.. which would be awesome. Also NEXT WEEK, one week from today is the VGAs. Coincidence? Probably.....

No to try and solve this puzzle.
I think SGMX already solved it.
Well, now to try to cry myself to sleep.

This challenge. It confuses me.
The galaxies represent 1's, the small stars represent zeros. Each column is a different binary number, that when converted to ASCII, spells out "WE'RE STILL DARK, BRO"

To the Blog!

It was nice to give our weekly conversation the usual royal treatment again.

As a bonus to the usual challenge (which you will find embedded in the Sack itself), I will be selecting three lucky people who respond to this thread to receive a free code to download the new and improved Kerbal Space Program. To qualify, complete this sentence: "I want to journey into space because..."

To learn more about KSP, pay a visit to the KerbalKon being streamed all day long by our friends at Squad - but be sure to come back to Bungie.net and help your fellow community peeps solve the puzzle for this week.


I want to journey into space because the possibilities of discovering something that no one ever thought would be there are endless, and by discovering that would possibly be able to forward the cause of science exponentially.

Also, we are a speices located on one planet, and one planet alone. If something were to happen to the planet we love oh so much, our entire species might be wiped out in an instant. Our species needs to be able to say that we can survive. That is why I was soo annoyed when NASA funding was cut. They are some of the only people that can assure the survival of our race, and we just gave them the middle finger. Pathetic.

I want to journey into space because I want to see what lies beyond our own world, whether there is life other than ours or if the universe is an empty husk of what it used to be. I want to explore the depths of space and fight space monkeys too.

Saw something earlier about Kerbal Space Program earlier, can't remember if it was from one of you Bungie guys or now. Either way, it's an interesting looking project.

I want to journey into space because I want to boldly go where no Septagonian has gone before.

Aperture Science. We do what we must, because, we can. For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead. But there's no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying, 'till you run out of cake, and the science gets done, and you make a neat gun, for the people who are Still Alive!

Still Alive...

I want to journey to space because I don't want to journey to space.

I want to journey into space to see the planets up close. I've never seen any planet other than earth before, (except little dots in the sky) and I think it would be a crazy experience. Even if we couldn't go and land like astronauts, just seeing the thing would like going to a whole new world. Please pick me. I really want to go into space. :D

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

After reading articles about the game (+ seeing you guys tweet the livestream), it actually seems really interesting.

I want to journey into space to explore and develop my own personal stations and spacecraft. To test and find out the formula for building the most reliable and efficint craft of them all. Hopefully with minimal bugs c:
