Today in Joystiq: September 13, 2007

by Ross Miller { Sep 13th 2007 at 11:59PM }

We don't know if this image (via Homicidal Insomniac) is clever Photoshop or a desperate attempt by the First Mutual Bank to attract a young, hip crowd -- we should warn them, however, that there may not be any money left after buying for a game, console, extra controllers and an Xbox Live Gold Account. Check out the highlights for today:

I'd stick it in Master Chief's bank any day.

Richard @ Sep 14th 2007 12:26AM

Clever Photoshop? Do we just gloss right over the possibility of good ol' rearranging sign letters these days?

kyle @ Sep 14th 2007 12:35AM

or that the bank probably has a mischevious low level manager with a 360

robert @ Sep 14th 2007 9:31AM

hasn't the internet taught you anything yet?
there is no reality anymore... everything is photoshopped.

Aaron @ Sep 14th 2007 1:11AM

It's real...I pass by that bank every day to work.

Randy @ Sep 14th 2007 1:15AM

+1

I drive by it every day as well... they did something similar for Halo 2, as well.

PHOTOSHOPPED!

Word of the street. @ Sep 14th 2007 1:34AM

Simpsons Did it!

ROFL.

That picture is from 11/17/2004 - Halo 2 launch. I've still got the original on my hard drive!

The poster above has it correct. The bank is located in Redmond (near the Xbox team's offices,) and this picture comes from around the time Halo 2 launched.

Get a free working Energy Sword if you open up a money market account.

horngreen @ Sep 14th 2007 8:24AM

That would just make me think that the manager at that bank is a 24 year old punk so you don't get my money kid!

Sean @ Sep 14th 2007 10:20AM

Hahaha, "Go Earth!"

"Go Earth" is really too dividing a phrase. In the interest of our intergalactic friends, I would like Joystiq to take down this picture for sensitivity reasons.
