Today in Joystiq: September 13, 2007
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.

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.

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!
e @ Sep 14th 2007 1:56AM
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!

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.

Obligatory "This looks shopped, I can tell by some of the pixels and having seem quite a few shops in my time" post.
