Pathways into Darkness | Marathon | Myth | Oni | Blam | Mail Bungie.Org June 15-30 1999 Archived News June 30 1999 Bungie.org As the last day of June rolls around, all of us at Bungie.org would like to say thanks! After doing some log examining last night, it was determined that we are funneling out right at 2 gigs a day of files and pages. When you think about it, for us, this is quite incredible. So, to help with this type of load, we have been updating our server software. Some of you might have been experiencing some 404 errors, etc. This is just temporary as we get everything updated and back up and running. Again, all of us here at Bungie.org thanks you for your support and for your patronage to our site. We hope that you will continue to make bungie.org a daily stop and we hope to keep supplying you with everything that concerns all games Bungie. steve campbell Oni A good comparison posted tonight, or early this morning.

Matt Soell worked very hard in trying to retrieve it, but, as it stands today, it is still lost. The PID Page today shows us a "visual" representation of what the levels look like thanks to Loren Petrich. It's probably best to jump over, since I am giving away some of the details. Oni I decided to go ahead and put the main page up today. The other pages will be coming within the next 24 to 48 hours. I apologize for the four week downtime, but, it turns out that it was in some ways a good thing.

So, in some strange type of way, you will get to see some of these images that date all the way back to E3 in 1998. June 16 1999 B L A M Hot Blam News. One of our Bungie Org spies today was out in California and was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. This bungie org spy reports that while he was at Sony Studios, he was invited to witness a brand new iMac commercial that was being recorded. The director in charge asked him to please leave the studio and he asked why, he was then told that it was because of some "secret" software that was being used. Our bungie.org spy then just happened to look at the directors clipboard, and, on the top was the word "B L A M". Here is the report reprinted: I happened to be at Sony Studios today with a relative of mine. We walked into a commercial that was being taped featuring the iMac. I was then told that I would have to leave. I asked why, and they said it was for new software that was secret, but they could tell me it was a game. I was then able to look on his clipboard, (they guy telling me I couldn't come in), it said Blam! What do you think. New Apple commercial with Blam being played? June 15 1999 Marathon Some pretty big updates today! The real source of some of the most famous Marathon sayings are exposed, or, maybe revealed.
