Bungie's classic Pimps at Sea series has seen its highs and lows during its storied history -- Pimps at Sea 64, Call of Pimps: Sea Warfare, Ar Tonelico Navale: Pimps of Ar Sea El -- but fans are assuredly in for a treat with the company's latest iteration: PimpsVille for Facebook! Bungie COO "and trans-media marketing guru" Pete Parsons explains the new project by saying, "I was talking to Mark Zuckerberg yesterday – who just so happens to be a really close friend of mine – and he said Facebook has something like 500 million users. I'm thinking if we can get one dollar from every one of those guys, we can easily make a billion dollars." Truer words, Pete!
No time has been given for the launch of PimpsVille, but we imagine that Bungie will wanna get out ahead of kids going on summer vacation. Or it'll never come out, because it's totally fake, but you never know. Weirder things have happened, right?

I will buy anything Bungie develops. Especially this.

500 million ≠ 1 Billion. :C
It's science.

@JohnBgon Ah so the joke was the exaggeration of potential earning figures? Not the fact that Bungie would be involved in a Facebook game version of their classic April Fools franchise. My bad.
Hey I just heard this one: 2 + 2 = 82442392039209. Hilarious.

Ah yes the tired and true pimps at sea.
I was so excited for its Xbox release along with its exclusive pimp steering controller.

not bad, but it could use a few more diamonds.
