Subject: A very special Holiday Mail Sack.

Traffic is already thinning in our over-populated corner of the world. Those who are arriving at work have that distant look in their eye - a symptom of pre-occupation with other needful things.

Are your stockings hung with care?

Is your shopping list crossed off?

The holiday black out is nigh, my friends.

Before we all scatter to the far winds to open presents and gorge ourselves with yuletide confections, let's circle up and wish each other well.

The Mail Sack is open.

What's the most dangerous situation you've ever been in?

Does Bungie do a secret Santa? Has anyone gotten anything really weird?

Is there a Christmas tree at Bungie? If so, can you share a picture of it with us?

What have the people at Bungie done to get into the holiday spirit?

  • 12.17.2012 11:04 AM PDT

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

Do you guys ever think you would sell some Bungie-themed Christmas cards?

Happy holidays to everyone! What's on the top of your gift list this year??






This is a little something I wrote a while back, but it didn't make it into the card, so I thought I'd post it here

Dear you find folks at Bungie,

We, the community, would like to thank you. We would like to thank you for so much more than you realize. You have given us a game that sat in our consoles for an entire decade. We, the community, wish to thank you for Halo, not only for the game, but also the friendships and memories. Thank you for the late nights and insane LAN parties. Thank you for the greatest journey with Master Chief, and we are so very happy to have finished the fight with you.


But we really want to thank you for what you have given us. The respect and love, the women and cookies. You all have given us something very hard to come by when considering a corporation, who mind you is still after World Domination, is the one responsible for actually caring. Caring about us, your fans, and doing what it takes to make us happy, both in your games and off your games. You gave us stats in Halo 2, but kept us coming back for the lame jokes and good times. You introduced us to each other, and through you, we have crafted bonds that have lasted the times and distances. It was Halo that we all had in common, but it was you, the wonderful people at Bungie, that brought us together.


So thank you, and have a wonderful Holiday, from us, The Community.

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

It's 12.21.2012, did you get this message, or did the Mayans guess your fate?

If they were wrong, Merry Christmas. Also, here is to wishing you and yours a Happy New Year.

And why?

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.

If someone made a The Social Networkesque movie about Bungie, which actor would play whom?
