:( I don't know if we'll see more in stock. I bought several for some people I know that would like one... and one for my mom.

Implying that it isn't on a good day? Okay, on a good day it's not, I suppose. Just stick to the front page, twitter, and the big thread with the gold septagon for information for now.

missed out on a bag of swag, will keep half an eye on that for a while.
btw does anyone have a sizing chart for apparel off the bungie store?

also is international shipping just for 20th nniversary items or for everything?

It's all different (at least for the anniversary tees). Urk said the XLs are made by American Apparel. Not sure what the others are.

To some extent. Check back a page for the discussion about XL+ being American Apparel and how they run.

I will be a sad Dax if I can't a Bag of Swag. Why, oh why did I not order one when I had the chance?

"You never know what you have until it's gone." Or something like that.

:\ I got lucky... just pure happenstance. Anyways, if you read a few tweets before that it says they are going to put more up just ask Urk has confirmed. I'd imagine keep an eye on their twitter or just spam f5.

Bags O' Swag won't be restocked today. I'll give a heads up when they're in the pipe. Charity T-shirts/signed posters are still available.

Edit: Beaten by a second.

I was taking a shower when they went on at 10:00 PDT.

Worst. Decision. Ever.

Thanks for the replies, but then I ordered one and got to the payment page.

$52 USD for a single t-shirt, which is around £33 and as much as i love bungie, i cant drop that on a t-shirt.

I was either gonna get the Shirt+Swag Bag or The Ancients posters. Those things are sexy. Love to maybe see those designs on t-shirts someday.

I'm kinda surprised they're not doing a "double cR weekend" thing for this 20 year anniversary thing. Seems like the perfect time for it.

They should just automatically promote everyone to the 10,000,000cR mark.

A surprise bonus for playing a few games would be awesome.. Sadly, I don't really see it happening though.. lol.

Credit gain is so brutally slow. Even farming every day like I did it would've taken nearly a year to hit cap, and that's six hours a day of Gruntpocalypse. Completely unreasonable, in my opinion.

Yeah I gave up after a while, still had a great time with the game though. For months upon months I was literally playing every day.

Well, this game hasn't even been out a year, and you literally gain nothing outside of cosmetic stuff from being the top 'rank', so I don't think it's too unfair for the last levels to take so long.

It is really grindy though. I would have preferred more 'ranks' and less CR per rank. Obviously the last levels could/would be insane, but it really is a drag sometimes.

I wonder if this Soffish packaging will be in one of the bags? Or an Action Sack inside the Bag of Swag because Bungie heard that we like sacks.

I don't think that there are piles of those at the studio, and they'd seem delicate, considering the age.

By the way, I love your Marathon Infinity avatar.

Hardy har har.

During the whole slew of drama with Kotaku AU about "Destiny" and the fired contractors, I assumed that the name came from that line.

Whatever. We'll just have to wait and see!

It could be something that brings marathon back into the forefront. Destiny could be a MMO set in the marathon universe at a later or earlier period than marathon.

I know that Destiny is trademarked, etc. but there are also so many other new trademarks! Destiny is the only one with an image (if I recall correctly) other than Aerospace.

The only source saying that it is an MMO and that Destiny is the game are the alleged former employees. Assuming those sources are false, it would have been easy to grab the name from some legal archive pertaining to Bungie and go off of previous rumor and speculation.

They've stated numerous times that it's a completely new IP. I wouldn't put Marathon references past them to show up in game, but it's basically confirmed to not actually be in the universe of any of their other games.

Sweet Jesus, thank you. I've said this so many times, my face may have turned blue on occasion.

What part of "new" don't people get?

Its not like im ignoring people who say this. New however is a subjective term in this situation. Halo could be a new universe in regards to marathon however despite claims against it alot of little winks and nods seem to suggest at least some connection between these universes.

Destiny will most likely be a new universe but the "new" may only concern the major plot elements and the fact they wont tie to the marathon story arc, the existing universe could be utilized. Destiny could be so far removed from marathon that it on the surface is new (much like halo is) but winks and nods here and there could be all thats needed to link the universes.

I can see how that works. I just get frustrated when people start asking for a Marathon/PiD sequel or something blatantly from the same universe.

I'm curious what Bungie comes up with. I always thought Halo was pretty mediocre and that the sequels were not really great improvements over the original Halo. So I'm pretty sceptical.
