  • Someone’s been eating potato chips at their desk again…

    Cybrfrk’s tireless webcam archiver has hit paydirt again. Looks like there might be some unplanned-for denizens of the Bungie offices… check the webcam shots in this forum post. (You’re looking for the contents of that mug on the right…)
