April Fools' Alert #11: Bungie 's Mister Chief visible from the (virtual) stars

by Ross Miller { Apr 1st 2008 at 7:30PM }

Bungie's resident mascot Mister Chief (no, not that one) has popped up on Bungie's radar as a group effort from every single Europe, African and Asian Halo 3 player that banded together in Halo 3 multiplayer.

... Well, it was either that or some quick image manipulation job by the Bungie staffers themselves, putting a "constellation" of Mister Chief on the map. We opt to believe the first story because it's infinitely more epic. Note that one tiny blip in South Africa, which was Joystiq's own Ludwig Kietzmann's contribution.

Why do you troll every post? Everyone needs to stop replying to this guy, maybe he will give up his trolling ways. You use to actually add to a conversation, now you are just pathetic.

Mr.ESC @ Apr 1st 2008 7:42PM

Hey thats no fair.

The truth is that nobody plays Halo for the ridiculous amounts of lag. Is impossible to play also that matchmaking makes you play matches at random. You can't choose what kind of map or type of game you want to play and the xbox community is way to aggressive for example I was chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel-air"

This round goes to you Mr. Esc. I'm still shaking my head as I am typing.

Arteen @ Apr 1st 2008 8:48PM

By "no one plays Halo 3," you mean no one besides the
187,931 Halo 3 players currently online, or 798,747 unique players in the last 24 hours, correct?

Mr.ESC @ Apr 1st 2008 10:59PM

I believe that's "A couple of guys who were up to no good"

Don't blame me,it was all delicious copypasta.
Why bother typing the whole thing when there is delicious copypasta waiting to be served.

You think you are hot sh*t in a champagne class but you really are cold Diarrhea in a dixie cup.

Mr Khan @ Apr 1st 2008 7:50PM

I'm really dumb with social references, did Venture Bros make that up, or where did they get it from?

Tom Cruise @ Apr 1st 2008 8:05PM

Too bad no one goes to those hack psychs and people enjoy the superior results that Dianetics can bring to your life!

allow me, an innocent bystander, reassure you. Colin's link is not a rickroll

colin @ Apr 1st 2008 8:42PM

i guess that does seem kind of like a setup ... but no, it is the phrase in question being used probably ten years before the venture brothers were even in existence. A clip from a charming little darkly comedic film known as "Welcome to the Dollhouse"
