I love how Bungie got back at microsoft there, giving him all this free stuff.

Thats one of those stories about how people go over and above for the people that got them where they are. Awesome. I love hearing that stuff.

Ya, I wouldn't blame microsoft as a whole. They probably ship them out to some other country and say "Fix this"

That's a really cool story. I've gained new respect for Bungie.

I saw this a few weeks ago when it first was reported. At that time Bungie hadn't been involved. Its extremely nice to see how far they went out of their way to help him, as they had nothing to do with the situation.

Whats wrong with you. Were computer nerds, you know the motto don't you?

"Blame Microsoft"

Its the answer to everything. Why does my internet suck, Microsoft. Why is my computer slow, Microsoft. Why can't I get a date, Microsoft.

Bungie is a high quality company. Now, if they could only make a game with DESERVED hype, then I would love them.

What I want is for valve to sign a crowbar for me. THAT would be awesome.

i like bungie now, they went well above what was called to help the people that put them in the place they are now,

And i too would love a crowbar signed by valve, that would be the best.

Maybe send one in. Fake cancer or something "this is his wish, all he wants for christmas is two crowbars signed by all of the valve staff".

Why two? Sell one on ebay.

Or maybe I could just send one in with a sharpie and try to get it signed. Heck, maybe even just show up on their doorstep in california (they are in california, right?) and try to get as many signatures as I can.

wow that is one lucky kid! and Bungie, that is awesome of them. Also, I would want a model replica of the gravity gun, and signed of course!
