Recon, I have a question...what does your wife think of you moderating a forum and playing games and generally acting like a kid, but with your brain engaged? Is she enthusiastic about Halo and the Halo-verse. I am not trying to prod into your personal life, but she must be pretty cool to tolerate the Haloverse.

No offense but your fat and old....by your avatar you seemed differen't...

None taken. I am old, I am fat, and I am bald. What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?

I've come to grips with my reality. How are you coming along with yours? *grin*

fortunately or unfortunately yes...
nevertheless this thread makes me feel old.... and you're still older on me by a good long shot....

Cool post, guys sounds pretty cool. There just isn't an end to your good stories, eh Bungie?
You guys try I'm sure. Or the opposite, in which you keep trying to drive people away with your posts, but are disappointed to find that we are all here still after you've posted something new. Nah, that could only be in another dimension, where Bungie's goal isn't world domination. Wait, then they wouldn't be Bungie anymore. Or would they?...

Maybe we should all watch how we complement Recon, we wouldn’t want to inadvertently subjugate and make the other ninja’s feel less valuable than they are.

Great interview. I was waiting for them to do something like this.

This should definitely continue. Though if anyone can riddle me this: Who were the other guys sitting at that Table? All I recognized were Recon and Shishka.

*edit*(Clarity) And by that I mean: Who are they actually by face? Like I know Sketch and KP were there, but which ones were they?

I knew he had to be older, his posts are too well-thoughtout and well written. It's good to see the face behind those posts. Keep up the good work

I'm guessing on some. I can't tell from the angles, lack of knowledge, and general stupidness...but I think I got most right.

My favourite community spotlight yet. Recon is the best. He is calm and wise even when dealing with sugar-crazed 12-year old potty mouthed spammers.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

Ahh, a toast to Recon. How we do love thee. :D

Not too much new information for me but that's because of all the Recon stalking I do.

Let's see, 7:15 my time; Recon should be enjoying breakfast shortly.

Great story :)
I'm glad I got to know a little more about my favorite Moderator. I knew that you were close to my age (I'm just a teeny bit older, but not much! LOL), and were married, but that was about it. It's nice to finally see someone in the same age bracket get some respect for being a part of the gaming community....now...cut ME some slack on Live people! As you can see, we upper agers ARE a real part of the community and it doesn't look like we're going anywhere fast. So sit down, hush, and reload your BRs cuz we're out there and you never know when you'll meet us! :)
Anyway, Recon, *ahem*....(composes self)....back to the original subject. You seem to be an all around great guy and I commend you for putting up with us here on the forums cuz I know for a fact it ain't an easy task sometimes. You definitely bring to this community an air of fairness, craziness, and diplomacy so often lacking in this world. And by the way, I didn't know you were from South Florida! That's where I live. Alas, your absence here has left quite a Recon-shaped hole that will forever be here....South Florida has lost one of its best :(
Keep on rockin, Recon, and I look forward to watching and being a part of the "Recon"-noitering that goes on here on the forums....LOL

IMO, few people comprehend the utter importance of accepting reality...and then dealing with it.

Most would rather live in some "fantasy land" where:
- Good will always conquer over evil.
- Everything works out, and everyone lives happily ever after.
- What goes around comes around.

Sure, all of that would be great, but its not reality.

Who IS that dorkwad on the far left? :D

But seriously, the guy shishka couldn't figure out was Pinkuh's hubby I think. Forgot his "name."

Heh. Sorry, man. I've just never seen a picture of you before. I don't stray from bungie.net too often and I don't think I've seen you post in a couple of years. The night Halo 2 was released I was listening to Unyielding, Repeater, and Hail 117 Anthem in my car on the way.

That picture of all you guys there would makes me and a lot of internet buddies jealous. It would be nice to meet some of the jerks I chat with on here and IRC. Recon seems like a fun guy to hang around. The rest in the picture seem to be having a blast, too.

Stupid east coast.


Haha, no apology needed. I lurk. I don't post a lot here at b.net. But I lurk severely here, HBO and still at Gearbox.

Haha, that's right Recon! Age has nothing to do with one's enthusiasm for Bungie and their games! Though I am but a youngling in terms of Gaming being only 19... I plan to keep lovin' games till the end of time! Meh....who wants to play with whiny 12 yr olds cussing to look cool anyways. Is there a link to the artists website? Being an art student I am intrigued with his methods.... :)

Good read it's nice to learn a bit of background to regulars on the site.

I do love the way recon "appears" like a mushroom after the rain on such diverse topics and now i know why...... *he sees / reads everything!.
He comes across as a really nice guy on these boards and now *after seeing his picture* my prototype-santa clause!!
