Gather ‘round folks, as we gaze into the minds of our fellow community members. We’re on week two of this community mailsack I like to call the “Communisack”. Contrary to apparent thought, this is no mail sack for communist, even thought they are more than welcome to participate. Now, without further a due let’s introduce this week’s panel:
[quote]Antony X1000 – Number enthusiast
M94 Mushroom Man – Codename: Mario
Spawn – Superhero Badass
Erac2detsaw2 – Pro wrestler[/quote]
Before you we start I must notify you of two things:
1) They didn’t pick those titles
2) The panel may seem slim this week, and I apologize for that. I notified the panel yesterday but sadly not all of them reported back. Next week we will have a larger panel for sure.
So, let’s get down to it!
[quote][b]Antony X1000[/b] - How did you first discover Bungie.net?[/quote]
One year, I won an Xbox in a raffle. Later that year, my brother came home,with Halo 3, and we played some multiplayer for awhile, which was a blast. Later, I looked at Bungie.net to check the stats for the games, and I instantly became addicted.
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
I think I first saw it in mentioned in Halo 3. I decided to visit the site and looked at my stats, eventually making an account to get the Septagon nameplate for the game.
[b]Antony X1000[/b]
Playing Halo CE with a friend. We found the website URL on the back cover of the disc case and got curious. Imagine if it was anything besides bungie.net.
[b]Spawn[/b]
Back when I first heard about Halo 2 I looked on the back of my copy Halo for information. I saw Bungie developed it and typed in Bungie.com in my address bar. Eventually after probably too much effort I ended up here!!

[quote][b]Jailbot[/b] - In the spirit of summer, what's your favorite 4th of July meal?[/quote]
Chicken.
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
Ribs, beer and water skiing with friends. The formula for creativity.
[b]Spawn[/b]
[i]I love formulas![/i]
I'd have to say burgers and beer.
[b]Erac2detsaw2[/b]
[quote][b]PVSpartanL36[/b] - What's at the top of your bucket list?[/quote]
Skydive.
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
[i]Real men jump from outer space.[/i]
Complete the Ironman Triathlon.
[b]Spawn[/b]
That is a great question. Right now it's wrestling a wild alligator. Strange I know.
[b]Erac2detsaw2[/b]
[i]You and I could be friends, I want to wrestle a grizzly bear with a combat knife.[/i]
[quote][b]ECOH Cam[/b] - What was your favorite Super Bowl commercial? Because nobody cared about the game, right?[/quote]
[i]There was a game?[/i]
I didn't watch the superbowl.
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
GoDaddy. Only to see the look of disaster from my siblings.
[b]Spawn[/b]
I actually didn't catch too many Super Bowl commercials. I was exhausted from moving and concentrating more on my bucket of beer and these two girls I met. I knew I was missing something though!!
[b]Erac2detsaw2[/b]
[i]You were keeping a close eye on them because they were trying to take your beer, right?[/b]
[quote][b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] - You are in a deep dark hole with no escape in sight but you remember that you brought one thing with you. What did you bring?[/quote]
Night-vision goggles.
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
A teleporter. It didn't have to be something that actually exists, did it?
[b]Antony X1000[/b]
An elevator.
[b]Spawn[/b]
My camping bag that I keep para cord, a knife, and some other survival supplies in.
[b]Erac2detsaw2[/b]
[quote][b]DeeJ[/b] - What is your favorite new power on Bungie.next? How has it changed your experience as a member of the Seventh Column?[/quote]
[i]Well…..this is weird. The mail man dropping off a letter? This a paradox. We all know mail men deliver their own mail..[/i]
Um... notifications are really the only new thing in Bungie.net that I use, so... that?
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
The ability to mute users. Although I haven't actually made use of it yet, it is always there if i feel the need. It should make the site a more civil place.
[b]Antony X1000[/b]
Mute and hide function. Thank you webteam for allowing me to silence those who disturb the peace without them knowing it.
[b]Spawn[/b]
The ability to mute/hide people. If I'm finding someone annoying or rude I don't have to actively ignore them anymore. That makes my time here that much more enjoyable.
[b]Erac2detsaw2[/b]
[quote][b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b] - Favorite member here, excluding employees, mods, and yourself?[/quote]
[i]Time for some shout outs, eh?[/i]
Lobster Fish 2, I guess.
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
*Insert one of the friends who will be expecting me to say them here*
[b]Antony X1000[/b]
I don't pick favorites, only ones that create good content.
[b]Spawn[/b]
[quote][b]Kappus 000[/b] - What makes you not finish a game?[/quote]
If it's just plain not fun, or too difficult, or too easy, of if it's just not my kind of game (like RTSs or JRPGs
[b]M94 Mushroom Man[/b]
The number one reason for me not finishing games is probably that I played them when I was younger. I always used to just mess around, instead of doing whatever I was supposed to. More recently, I only leave games unfinished if I find them too difficult or boring.
[b]Antony X1000[/b]
I just lost the game.
[b]Spawn[/b]
Well, that concludes this week’s Communisack. I hope you enjoyed this week’s panel and questions, be sure to drop a question on Tuesday for a chance to be on the panel! Remember, as long as you guys keep the questions coming and enjoy this I'll keep em' coming.

It makes me feel so OLD when I hear of someone learning about Bungie through Halo 3. Even worse when they say ODST. But the good news is, that they learned of it, and a diverse group of people makes life more interesting. Not always better, just more interesting. Keep these going. If DeeJ fails to keep us entertained, we will do fine ourselves. I guess you could consider the community like a little kid. Leave it alone for long enough, and it will keep it self happy.
