It's Time to Steak Your Claim
The Bungie vs. the World playlist is officially live! From 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PST today, hop in for a chance to beat Bungie by 20 points or more to win yourself two juicy steaks from Omaha Steaks. For those outside of the U.S., you'll be given a gift card (legal reasons and all that jazz). If you plan on playing, be on the lookout for these gamertags:
- Humproast
- Heavenly Beef
- Tender Loins
- Porterhaus
If The Man is keeping you locked in a cubicle all day, Bungie is streaming today's meaty massacre. And keep an eye on the webcam (Thanks for the direct link, AngelicLionheart!) for an additional behind-the-scenes look. I've got my stock of caffeine, and I took a power nap, so I'm going to be at this all day. Good luck, everyone! Update: Looks like all day lasted 20 minutes. The first official game of Bungie vs. the World found the boys of Bungie blue against me and the ragtag team of NeoGAF. Guess who walked away with eight succulent slabs of steak? Check out the video. Thanks, Steelyuhas, not only for rendering the clip but for carrying the team! Update 2: Just to give you a sense of what your chances might be - we're now 6 hours into Bungie Day's gameplay, and the Bungie team has played 33 games. They've been steaked 8 times - but the first 5 of those were in the first 90 minutes. Trueskill is beginning to get the measure of the team, and though the MAKEUP of the team changes every hour, the chances that they'll meet a team miles out of their league drops with every passing hour. Update 3: Wow - this guy has already met (and steaktacular'd) Bungie twice - with completely different teams (here, and here). The rules DO include a limit of one prize per person... but still. Update 4: Bungie got matched up against a single team twice in 3 games (game 1 | game 2) - and was steaktaculared both times. OUCH! (Hitmonchan 06:24:41 UTC)
