Have you ever logged into Bungie Studios and it said something along the lines of "Welcome to Bungie Studios: Satisfying Your Mom Since 1991." Am l the only one that finds this offensive? l'm pretty sure l'm not. Personally, l think it's immature and horrible, unless there's some inside joke l'm not getting. l don't like it and l think it should be changed.

Thats Bungie for you. Learn to like it, or nicely GTFO.

Your mum jokes have been a part of Bungie studios for a long time. If you have some reason to be offended, then...

Uh...

Look away?

Hide your mothers! Bungie is about!

It's a very, very inside joke. I'm not even sure where it comes from. I just ignore it, though I'm willing to snap back if someone tries to target me. They usually slink off crying afterwards...

If you thought that was offensive, then wait until you have been reprimanded by Shishka.

If you can't handle a little remark like that...then you most certainly don't need an account on this website.

I find them rather amusing. 1991 is teh Bungie creation date, and ever since then, they've been satisfying her with their games. :)

I like to Rollick

I like it better than some cold impersonal corporate slogan.

Welcome to Bungie Studios: Creator of Games.

I definitely prefer the mom joke.

Just remember though, DMTKYA.

Well, l don't prefer a your mom joke. l don't think it's funny. And don't tell me the get the -blam!- off the forums, or look away, or l shouldn't even have an account here. l don't like it. You don't agree? That's fine. Don't belittle me. l think it's crude and stupid.

But you seem to be the only one. I wasn't attempting to belittle you, it just seems like a viable solution to look away, or to ignore it.

Carlos Mencia's actually pretty funny, he just never targeted moms. l haven't told a "yo moma" joke since l was in, like, seventh grade. l didn't mean to come off as this being a huge problem but l just don't see why it has to be there. Some people might actually take it really offensive. What if your mom was sick or something and you saw that? Okay, it's not directed at you, but it wouldn't be something you'd want to see from a place that you've always liked, played their games, and came to every day. lt's not a huge thing, l just don't really see the point of it.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

From our view, you're acting selfishly. They offered perfectly reasonable ways for you to not be offended by the slogan anymore. If you don't read it, how can it offend you? Getting off the forums is a good bet, since there are a lot more jokes like that around here, and you obviously don't like being offended.

Realize this; you're telling us to remove a phrase 99.9% of us find amusing because you took it too personally. From our persepctive, you're being pretty up tight. It's a joke! Like "Ha ha"! Loosen up =]

I've been here for coming close to three years now. This is the first time I've ever seen this complaint. It's fairly plain to see, or so I think, that for almost every person on this site it is nothing but a little joke. If you're the only person who thinks it's offensive, why should we remove it? See where we're coming from with these suggestions? It's a joke. They aren't trying to insult you personally. A little sense of humor can go a long way.

EDIT: Edited the first sentence. It was a bit more "agressive" than I intended it to be.

Yeah.... l guess you're right. l'm actually a pretty funny guy, it's just that when it comes to moms l don't know what happens. l just don't like it. l don't get offended easily, l love jokes, l laugh at myself, and l have no problems with most things. l just expect something a little more mature from Bungie. lt's not a big deal, you're right, it just sorta ticked me off when l saw it earlier. l guess l over reacted.

And l don't want to leave the forums. l like it here! =)

Good point. That is mild compared to a lot of posts and pms I have read.

He watches every Hodgetwin video they put up...on ALL their channels. He calls them the Hodge Triplets, and considers himself the 3rd triplet. He's started talking and acting like them now. Every other line out of his mouth "Thaaas some BULLLLLL**** maaayne" or "Gotta make dem gainzzzz". He calls his biceps "gains". When he eats post-workout, he talks to his biceps, "Don't worry gains, I'm feeding you. Daddys gonna feed you, gainz *kisses biceps*".

Mom jokes are so underrated. And yes, I know 75% of the internet loves them. But 25% doesn't... and that makes them underrated, as far as I'm concerned!

Yeah. The kitten just ruined it.

I wonder if Bungie could fit A Modest Proposal into another one of their slogans...that'd definitely give us all a good laugh...for the people who know what it is.

I thought it was, simply because he does that kitten thing in every post. It was funny how he incorperated the topic in this time.
