Some cool quotes I found that some employees said recently on the forums.
Bonus points to Old Skool for their interesting use of.... props. We know what the plastic was for now.-[b]SketchFactor commenting on the Winter Pent 08[/b]
Since I anticipate grief about the Game Informer article (which outlines the specific criteria you need to get Recon) let me just restate this for the masses. Until Halo 3:Recon comes out next year, the following is still very true: There is no specific criteria that will get you Recon armor.
-Otto
P.S. Yesterday I got about 40 messages that said "I don't want Recon, I just want to play you 1v1." Sorry guys, there just aren't enough hours in the day for me to do this. At Bungie, we don't get paid to play on Live, so any time we spend playing Halo 3 is in our own free time at home (which isn't much). Your best bet is to run into one of us in Matchmaking.-[b]Evil Otto commenting on the way to get Recon.[/b]
Then stop playing in playlists that have it. Duh.-[b]Achronos commenting on a player who thinks Standoff should be removed from map rotation.[/b]
It's from the manual cover. Isaac drew her just a little differently, no big reason other than artist preference. :) No hidden mystery I'm afraid. The graphic designers for the soundtrack had to tweak the colors for print as well, so there is also that.
I hope that answered the question.
Cheers!

laem update y did u wreck BR spred ur the reasen i still plya ce moar then haloe 3 wich is total nubcaeks-[b]Frankie commenting on one of lukems' weekly updates.[/b]
Uh... duh? That was the point! Players that try, finish the whole game, or work as a team (re: chetz) are Bungie's arch-nemeses. lawl ur sew nu.-[b]KPaul commenting on people who play Ranked.[/b]
That was before he entered the federal witness protection program.-[b]Disembodied Soul commenting on... well i dunno.[/b]
I'd say that what Urk had for Friday, pictures, tons of coverage from the Bungie Pentathlon is better than a Weekly Update.
There's not a whole lot to say right now about the work that's being done on our projects here at Bungie.-[b]lukems commenting on why there hasn't been Weekly Updates in a while.[/b]
KEE4 IT CLEAN-[b]Superintendent's signiture catch phrase.[/b]
All the entries are done by hand, and so is any editing (including the "last updated" text). I can make entries visible to whomever I see fit, so weekend entries are generally made visible when the weekend is up and then hidden again when the weekend is over.-[b]Shishka explaining the Matchmaking playlists.[/b]
and the most important and probably best post of all,
When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that Luke carried you.-[b]urk commenting on a [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=28605196&postRepeater1-p=1#28605791]previous thread of mine.[/url][/b]
Sweet lord! Does no one remember the rule about no thread about members?

BTW, u can add your own if you want to.

You have all brought great joy to my evening. Thank you. We should collect these in a book or something..."Best of Bungie.net mod lines"

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mero90 a small convo between a certain ninja, and a employee about what would happen if a niinja banned an employee [quote]Posted by: stalts27 But he was immediately unbanned right?[/quote] Oh, I don't know. If such a thing were to happen, then the moderator might get a PM like this.... [quote]re: Why do you hate pie? Posted by: drabominable Here's the deal... I've never posted anything before and I guess I should be flattered to be blacklisted within two minutes of my first ever post about pie. You can send me an email at edited for privacy@bungie.com, or just walk over to my desk and say hi. Keep up the good work (seriously). But hey, not all of us were meant to live on the forums (points to self). Paul Russel[/quote] Which might have gotten a response like this..... [quote]re:re: Why do you hate pie? Posted by: some stupid moderator Sure kid, you're a Bungie employee. In case you haven't noticed, REAL Bungie employees have gold text and special avatars. They also know not to spam the Halo 3 forums with "DO YOU LIKE PIE?" I'll tell you what, since it would be really stupid of me to ban a real employee, why don't you have one of the guys who actually has gold text send me a message letting me know that I banned the real Paul Russel?[/quote] But that stupid moderator wasn't 100% sure of his actions, so he messaged the Overlord. Whose response might have been something like..... [quote]re: re: I may have blown it, or a member has..... Posted by: Achronos While it was, in fact, the real Paul Russel, that post was spam. I would have banned him too. :) PS: almost everyone in the office is getting a laugh outta this.[/quote][/quote] Anyone care to post a link to this?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Yoozel "Don't be use -blam!-" [/quote]"Read my PM Yoozel!" On a serious note, it's all good. I loved it when Recon Number 54 (not a Bungie employee, but just as good) said that ODST stood for "Oddly Disfunctional Stupid Topic".

This was Stosh's response to my thread about Luke's incessant laughter. I find it to be somewhat disturbing. [i]"I sit right next to the podcast room... It gets very loud. Sometimes he goes in there and laughs by himself...I don't think he's even recording anything."[/i] We may never know what Luke does in there.

I made a thread pretty much saying how hard the Employees slam dumb OPs. I also mentioned how this is good and bad. Then Sketch came in and called me names. ;_; Also, Buttsocks will forever be the greatest quote ever. No argument.

From this day forward, every man, woman, and child shall bear witness. They shall fully be aware that "Septagon" is no more. They shall proclaim to the heavens that it will now be called "The Screw." They shall honor it. Cherish it. Love it. They shall become one with it. This is no longer their Septagon. This is no longer their Bungie Community Forum. This shall forever more, be known as "The Screw." -Duardo That just cancels out all other quotes.
