    Bungie got sliced, diced, and iced in last night’s Humpday Challenge against the PMS Clan – and KP gallantly ate the crow pie they made of our favorite developers in his writeup. Lesson learned here: Don’t play against the girls… they’ll stomp your butt and walk away laughing.(Louis Wu 01:49:36 UTC)
