We'll miss you, Peter.
We recieved word that Peter William Marks, known to Bungie fans as Mordia, Lud, and "the guy who built Hang 'em High" (among other things), passed away on September 7th, 2009 at 11:35 p.m. He fought to the very end, and will be missed greatly. The page we set up a couple of years ago to provide him some fan support is still live; you're welcome to leave comments. (Please - be respectful. We won't take a kind view of stupidity. Thanks.)
