In the beginning...there was Louis Wu...and it was gooooood! Halo single-handedly destroyed my GPA in undergrad. I used to host LANs for Halo CE every Wednesday night from 7pm till the wee hours of the morning. I had 9am classes on Thursdays. I missed quite a few of them. Of the ones I actually made it to, I was half-asleep dreaming of CTF on HEH or Sidewinder. I can remember meeting people whose real name I never knew and I only knew them by what they went by as their HCE moniker. I remember allowing total strangers into my house because they brought a copy of HCE to the door (it's better than 'open sesame'). I remember all-night runs on Legendary for the HCE campaign. I remember wanting to kick the ever living piss out of Guilty Spark and he'd mock me by saying "is that really necessary" after every rocket hit that damn glowing eye. I remember joining up at B.net almost 6 years ago now. A friend of mine told me that the people who made Halo CE were doing some sort of crazy contest called I Love Bees. About some fake bee-keeping website that melted into something completely different. I joined B.net and started stalking Louis Wu at HBO astounded by how clever the people were who were unraveling the ILB clues. After ILB and the release of Halo 2, I started this moniker and I've been on B.net ever since. Here's to the future Bungie but never forget the past.

Signing on to Bungie 10 years ago and I remember meeting Blam! for the first time in the form of a in-office demo and being amazed by the antennae on the Warthog... Didn't even have a logo yet. Double Cheers! + mehve [/quote] was it known as halo? how did that name come to be? and who designed that awe inspiring logo?[/quote] It wasn't known as Halo until later. It's codename was -Blam! as you can read in the article. If I were to take an educated guess on how "Halo" came to be called "Halo", I'd suggest you'd ask her husband: Robt. As for who designed the logo? She did (IIRC). Getting to meet both Lorraine and Robt at PAX last year is probably the most star-struck I've ever been. My signed copy of HCE by Lorraine is safely locked away from prying eyes =) ~B.B. [Edited on 07.22.2009 6:44 AM PDT]
