And for some fans, its more exciting than the 4th of July. (People from other countries don't count, sorry guys) Anyways, Bungie day is no other than July 7th (7/7/08), where fans of Bungie gather together to do the same thing they always do: play Halo. Except now, they've got an excuse. Some people (such as myself) take Bungie day to a higher level, and save a few fireworks for Bungie Day.
Bungie had this to say on Bungie day:
"It's been hinted and teased in prior updates but I should remind
everyone again that "Bungie Day" is rapidly approaching. For the
uninitiatied, I am of course referring to July 7th. The day of 7/7 has
a lot of special meaning at Bungie, even before it became the day we
became an independent developer last year. Seven has shown up in Bungie
games for years including a huge amount of references throughout the
Halo series. I could rattle of a list but our community has done that
and more already. Check out this
wiki page for an exhaustive look at the significance of 7.
What matters most to you though is that we have a tradition of offering
some treats to our fans on this special day. This year, we will
continue the tradition with another set of FREE exclusive gamerpics and
a dashboard theme from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. These items are only
going to be available for one day so mark your calendar now. If you
miss them on 7/7, they are gone forever.
We have a few other goodies planned but you'll have to wait until next
week to hear more about that. And who knows, the importance of 7/7 may
even be enough to get Luke to produce another installment of the Bungie
Podcast.
Suffice it to say that 7/7/08 will be a great day for Bungie fans. You've been warned."
Of course, you've already read that at bungie.net if your at this website, all things considered...
So, see you Bungie day, my gamertag is o7he Red, in case your interested.
