Trivia
- Bungie Inc. states that the reason they named the company Bungie is a guarded secret.
- They have a famous obsession with the number 7. Understandable, since 7 is the best number ever.
- Bungie's 7 Step Plan for World Domination is dangerously close to being complete, with Step 7 (Take over World. Shoot enemies into sun with giant slingshot.)[1] being marked as "In Progress...". Direct intervention recommended if plan develops further.
