“But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God..."

As some of you know, the Pacific Northwest was hit by a large windstorm. Over a million people do not have power. The entire Eastside (of the lake) including Kirkland, where Bungie resides, is out of power for over three days!

Dear Lord, NO FRIDAY UPDATE!!!

Check out our local news on the storm: http://www.komotv.com/

I'd assume many of their things are on battery backup.. Possibly along with these servers running Bungie.net. I can just see Frankie now, sitting in a dark corner by a small window, writing in scrawled, scribbled handwriting.

He'll get some old, 30 pound laptop, scan in the piece of gum wrapper he wrote this on, and have Achronos upload it. Just you watch.
That's what we get when he has no spell checker.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

My money says they have a big ol' diesel generator grinding away in the background.

Ahhh.. quite good Zag, well said.

I am wondering how the largest software company in the world (inc. bungie) will function today. Most likely, there are offsite servers and with satellite connection we will still get our update. Course, it might be posted from some interweb connection at a library 100 miles south of here. I still like your layout of what will happen. Lets hope for a sketch of Mister Chief with his hair blowing in the wind all mullety and such.

That's a close guess.

The weekly update is up, just now, actually.

Quick, someone go search all the coffee shops in Kirkland! (prolly the JJJ)

Coffee Shops, Kirkland

Poor Frankie and his stalkers :)

Nice joke. It from the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy says that they are not in Kansas anymore when that Tornado shows up.

Nah, he just killed the wrong people. You know, the ones who run all that stuff.

With a typhoon, apparently.


Oh, Tinman123, nice catch.

TO THE NEIGHBOR'S!!!

Check in about nine months from the NW blackouts, I predict a birthrate spike. With so many people with nothing to do but sit in the dark, I'll bet we may even see some more Bungie tykes. *ahhh*

Silly Washington state and its silly blackouts. The only thing that state is good for is smelling like teen spirit (let's see how many people can get this).

“But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God..."

Teen Spirit? Nah... that was over as quick as a slug to the head.

We do, however, have the most snow in the world come winter. Not such a bad place if your on your boards.

As to the baby making... funny, thats exactly what my wife said just before... well, you know. *~*

Whoever told you that is a liar. Slugs to the head and teen spirit will never end.
