Bungie is really funny as hell. No, really. An online auction offered up by the game studio for a cameo bid in Halo 3. Bidding started at US $1,000. The money raised was to help the homeless. The auction read:
Voiceover will be recorded at Blindlight Studios in Hollywood, CA before May 15, 2007 or this package will have to redeemed for Halo 4.
Which lead to general freak-outtage. That is, until Bungie stepped in and crashed those candy-colored hopes and dreams with this remark:
The cameo is for Halo 3, and the timeframe is tight, although the 'wit' who wrote the eBay copy originally joked that if you don't make the session in time, you'd have to end up in Halo 4. Note that was not an announcement, but rather a sad clunker of a gag.
Heh. Joke or not, no one even made a minimum bid. Chin up, Bungie! You can always do the same for Halo 4.
