    Hey everybody. Today is Bungie Day and we are celebrating with an all new RvB PSA video. I don’t know if you have heard, but everyone’s favorite developer is busy wrapping up their latest game, so they asked us to help out with a new video PSA for all their fans. Doing that meant spending almost four days locked in a room with Reach — so what were we going to say? No?

    We didn’t say no.

    Check it out and Happy Bungie Day!

    Have you ever felt jealous of Bungie employees for being able to wear Flaming Helmets in Halo 3 Matchmaking? (You shouldn’t, really, because it makes it very hard to hide when you’re using Invis…) For today only, Bungie’s making that option available to EVERYONE in Matchmaking. Get on, go play, and light that head on fire! (Thanks, Time_Glitch, for noticing so quickly.)(Louis Wu 19:01:44 UTC)

    Just a reminder: FyreWulff’s Bungie Dayathon 2010 is under way; he’s about to start playing Oni, and a large block of Halo is following that directly. Go watch, go contribute – all money goes to the Brian Morden Foundation!(Louis Wu 17:34:28 UTC)

    Hawty McBloggy posted her Bungie Day Community Project – it’s many, many poems and images from fans showing their love for Bungie and Halo in a myriad of ways. Go explore! Without fans like Hawty (who give other fans a place to express their love for the game, and the game’s creators), Bungie wouldn’t be the company it is today!(Louis Wu 17:26:28 UTC)

    Looks like Gamestop is offering an exclusive bonus to folks who pre-order Reach at one of their stores (or online): UA Multi-Threat Mjolnir Mark V(B) Armor. Sigh… (Thanks to eLcHuPaNiBrE 93 for finding this.)(Louis Wu 17:19:33 UTC)

First up: hyokin whipped up the Customs Clan Bungie Day Video, which actually made me chuckle. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:08:11 UTC)

    Netherlands defeated Uruguay in their match which is the first time our prediction has been wrong. This time we simulate the Germany vs Spain match. Will we be right or wrong? Only time will tell! I think this is probably the best simulation we’ve run so far.

    So Bungie made it clear that there wouldn’t be any new maps coming, or Xbox LIVE Dashboard Themes, or gamerpics, or any of that stuff. Sketch even made it clear that they needed to outsource the actual product, because the studio didn’t have the time to give it the love it deserved. Are your expectations low enough? Go download ‘Deja View’… you won’t be disappointed. Congrats to EVERYONE involved; there is so much goodness embedded in 5 minutes that you may have trouble picking up all the clever tidbits by yourself. What do YOU see?(Louis Wu 13:02:48 UTC)
