Above is the front of the shirt and [url=http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o103/bobcast24ida/DSCF0387_zps1709b4d4.jpg]this is the back of the shirt[/url].
What is special about this shirt you ask?
This shirt once belonged to [url=http://halo.bungie.net/Account/profile.aspx?uid=290949]BerserkerBarage[/url], ~B.B. for short. He was a very active and popular member until his untimely passing just a little over three years ago. Him and I became real life friends through this site and this community. I ended up with his this shirt and set out on a little project.
My goal was to have as many community members and Bungie employees sign his shirt, frame it, and send it to his widow. And that is exactly what I did.
I hosted a LAN part last year for the WorkPLace. There I started the collection of signatures. I entrusted the shirt to [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_skittles-x/en-us/view/profile/index#!page=index&mid=24131]Skittles[/url] who took it to PAX. What happened there, I have no idea, but it ended up in Bungie's hands. They graced it with their signatures and mailed it back to me. I then mailed the shirt around to a few more members and had it framed.
Framing it was a bit of a challenge because the signatures were on both side of the shirt. So the guy at my local framing shop was able to build a "jersey box" for the shirt. That way the shirt can be displayed with either side facing out.
The shirt was shipped out earlier this week, and it arrived to his widow today. She had no idea we did this for her.
Thank you to everyone who helped with this project, and a huge thanks to Bungie for signing that shirt and creating a community that would do something as awesome as this.

I want to love the community, I really do. Some of the people, like the old me, are just jerks. They exclude you for not having a certain gun or piece of armor. I would LOVE more than anything to find a good, friendly group to play, chat, and have fun with. I just can't seem to fit in, I guess.
-
You people, you are the real community! Not the plebs asking for nerfs in #destiny! Good to see that there are still some decent people left on this planet!
-
So proud of this community. It's this community that keeps destiny alive, if just barely.
-
I love this community *drops mic*

Good job.

You deserve a 14 day LAN. [spoiler]party[/spoiler]

Even though I didn't know B.B really good. I just feel pretty sad. One year ago. Damn. The fact that they go like that, is just so terrible. In honor of B.B, the entire community should attend this thread and say thank you, for what B.B has done. In favor of B.B, thank you.
-
Funny you made this thread. Just today I was thinking of making a thread for him. A thread about how he was a selfless humble man. He truly was a great member. One everyone should strive to be like.
-
hi booby
-
You know what... We need to get some people and play destiny in honor of B.B even if i didn't really know him I feel that we should send him out with a bang. RIP
-
How did B.B pass. Just curious I can understand why you would what to tell. You can pm it to me.

Edited by TechnoKat: 3/5/2014 10:40:30 AMThat long ago, huh? It's things like this that have always reminded me that there are people out there who can do something like this as something other than a Publicity Stunt. I'd have loved to have been able to sign it, but Alas. So I'll just leave what I can here. ~T.K.
