Hello and welcome to my thread. This thread is my opinion on Bungie;s creed, and their seven steps to world domination, and how they will complete them. [quote] 7 Steps to World Domination. 1)Start independent gaming software company. 2)Dominate Mac platform: Launch assault on Windows platform. 3)Announce killer gaming title. 4)Acquire strangely addictive Chinese food company. 5)Recover Ling Ling's head. 6)Stage bloody coup of new parent company. 7)Take over World. Shoot enemies into sun with giant slingshot. [/quote] Ok, so the first step is pretty clear, they started Bungie and started designing video games. So os so forth... Step 3, they released Halo: Combat Evolved and created a whole new era of games. Just like how Pong started the video game era, Halo: Combat Evolved spawned the era of first-person-shooter. Their next statement of acquiring a "strangely addictive Chinese food company" is probably in reference to the enormous amount of Chinese food consumed at Bungie Studios. For anyone who owns the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, then on the making of the game, you will see that everyone eats Chinese food while working. Now the random statement about Finding Ling Ling's head.[quote]Ling-Ling is Bungie Studios' dog. Only it's not so much a dog, but a dog's head. It's contained in a jar of formaldehyde. The dog's head was once lost, (see picture to the right) but it has now been found, and is kept inside Bungie Towers. (Taken from Bungie.net) "Dog's head in a jar. Has mystical significance. But it's too nasty to think about. Especially if you think about opening the jar, and drinking the head-water down in one mighty draft. DANGER! Do not juxtapose Tijuana Mama with Ling Ling! When the jar containing Ling Ling finally breaks, as it must, Bungie will make a sequel to Gnop!" Recovering Ling-Ling's head is Step 5 in Bungie's 7-Step Plan for World Domination, and it is currently listed as completed. Also 'when Ling-Ling's jar is broken, Owt Gnop! will be made', referring to the sequel to Bungie's first ever game, Gnop! Ling-Ling's jar has not been broken.

When Bungie first made Halo 3, they wanted a different armor permutation to make themselves stand out. With this, they made Recon, and the lure of it along with Bungie Favorites. With these two lures in place, Bungie can do what they have planned. Many people wish they had Recon, and would be willing to do almost anything for it. What Bungie is going to do, is tell people that they can have Recon if they do tasks for Bungie. They will make all of these Recon pleading people construct a giant slingshot from which they can launch people into the sun. So, make sure that no matter how much you want Recon, do not help Bungie construct their giant sligshot...unless they are not going to shoot me into the Sun.
