Communisack #5

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? The Communisack, that’s who. Anyone who guessed that a tiny sponge in the ocean did needs mental help. Err…hi there community, and welcome to the weekly ritual known as the Communisack, not to be confused with Russia and it’s old Communist ways. We welcome one and all. Let’s begin. This week’s panel was selected as usual by the random app I possess. [quote]ForceWielder7 (Force Sensitive) AxJARxOFxDIRT (Earthly minerals contained in a jar) Cicero J Faraday (Jester and part time assassin) Hatima (Of the water tribe) A Fly Lady (Seeker of Ling Ling) Kirov 099 (Secret agent)[/quote] Hit the ground running, gogogogo. [quote][b]Prometheus25[/b] - How do you feel the community is getting along post Bungie.next? What do you think the "Next big thing" will be for all of us here?[/quote] It feels too early to have a substantiated opinion of how others are handling all the newness, but for me I’d say things are relatively positive. As with most things, change usually hurts at first. As for the next big thing; Destiny. Destiny Destiny Destiny Destiny. [b] ForceWielder7[/b] Well, at first I thought Bungie.next was going to break us. It was really pretty scary how unhappy people were. Now that it has all sunk in? I think we're doing fabulous. The site and us are prepped for the new generation. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] I have noticed that quite a few people have seemed to disappear but the same number, if not more, have appeared. I think the "Next big thing" for us is what is going on now: The Destiny Hype-Train! AAAALLLLLLL ABOARD!!! [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] Well. There are a lot of strong opinions out there of what we, the Community, were expecting. I feel most have come to accept the “newness” of bungie.next. However, in my opinion, I wasn't expecting that much change. The next big thing for us? Destiny, of course and it's glorious. I think we all will be amazed what Bungie has in-store for us. [b]Hatima[/b] I think the community is getting along great with the changes Bungie has implemented. There are still a couple of things we’ve been shouting for, but I love having the ability to moderate in my own way. The next big thing will be announcements about Destiny – but I think Bungie has more in store for us than we can imagine. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] I think the community is getting along just fine, and I'm glad to see a lot more activity now that we are out of the darkness. [b]Kirov 099[/b] [quote][b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] - Keeping with Chorrizo's "unofficially official" theme for the CommiSack, who are you dueling when the clock strikes high noon?[/quote] [i]I’ll be meeting zoobkillerninja and Bricypoo for a 3-way high-stakes duel to decide who wins the deed to my pappy’s land.[/i] Usually myself. [b]ForceWielder7[/b] I'll be gunning for one Mr. Luke Smith, whether he knows of the challenge or not. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Hylebos. Spikers don't scare me! [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] My grumbling stomach as I sit at work waiting to take my lunch break. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] [i]Hunger is always the most deadly rival.[/i] [quote][b]IslocStarkiller[/b] - What was the best concert you have ever been to, and who did you see perform?[/quote] Probably She and Him two summers ago in Santa Cruz. Never mind the fact that Zooey Deschanel is a talented singer and songwriter, but I’m a sucker for good, clean, loud audio, and I wasn’t let down. Not to mention I’m not much of a fan of their genre of music (girlfriend dragged me along). Well I guess I just mentioned it. [b]ForceWielder7[/b] I've only been to one concert. I was too young to appreciate it. No one even asked for my autograph. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It was great because I was on the other side of the stadium and could still feel the heat from the flames on stage! [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] The best concert I’ve been to was Dave Matthews Band. I’ve seen them play 15 times and I’ve got 4 more shows lined up for this summer. Their music is so powerful and inspirational. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] To be honest, I've never actually gone to a concert, but Avenged Sevenfold was in town not too long ago and I wish I had gone to see them. [b]Kirov 099[/b] [quote][b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] - Describe the ideal woman.[/quote] Has an excellent taste in food (and can make said food), allows the excessive playing of video games, likes science fiction and history, passionate about life, and is an independent thinker. [b]ForceWielder7[/b] Oh? My own delicious question. Danielle Duys. Accepting of my inner nerd and attractive in every way. Oh and she's a huge Doctor Who fan, too. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Foman's mom. [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] [url=http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111203201237/bungie/images/1/1b/Captain_DeeJ.jpg]Her.[/url], Ain't she gorgeous? [insert adjectives here] [b]Hatima[/b] I hereby humbly proclaim myself as the ideal woman. Every day I strive to be a wonderful loving wife, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, and community member. I don’t always reach that goal, but I give it my best. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] My only requirements are they have to be Libertarian and enjoy sci-fi gaming. No idea if such a women exists in the world, but a man can dream. [b]Kirov 099[/b] [quote][b]Kirov 099[/b] - What's your favorite indie game?[/quote] I’m ashamed to say I don’t know the last time I played an indie game. Lynch me. [b]ForceWielder7[/b] I couldn't say my favorite of all time, but recently? Star Warfare. You can get a Chain Gun. Also,The Silent Age is cool for what it is. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Assuming Minecraft doesn't count as indie any more...I'd pick Unfinished Swan or Journey. Neither of which I have played but everything I've seen makes me want to get a PS3 just to play them. That makes them good, right? [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] Indie game, you ask? I don’t think I’ve ever played one of those. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] Answering my own question? Awesome. Recently I've been playing a lot of FTL, but I asked in hopes of finding some more games to try out. [b]Kirov 099[/b] [i]My favorite indie game of all time has to be “I Made A Game With Zombies In It”. If you haven’t already done so, download it. It’s only $1.[/i] [quote][b]Goldhawk[/b] - If you were to write a book, what would it be about?[/quote] An original space opera or a historical fiction set in Europe and the Middle East during the crusades. These are two things I sincerely plan on accomplishing one day. [b]ForceWielder7[/b] I'm writing one about a Hobo right now, actually. He was a real estate investor who became depressed and burned down his house. He then runs away from down and sets up shop next to a river. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] It'd be an epic thriller that would keep you engaged and wanting to learn more about the powers of the apparent all-knowing force guiding the galaxy. The title: Dead Orbit. Ending Spoiler: Dead Orbit has no powers and is the less than best orbit. [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] Raising a Border Collie and how dogs can be a great friend and a source of comfort. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] It would definitely be a space-western, but I haven't come up with much more than that. I would also make sure every little detail was scientfically accurate. [b]Kirov 099[/b] [quote][b]Erac2detsaw2[/b] - Are you ready for bathing suit season?[/quote] No, but I will be. ;) [b]ForceWielder7[/b] I will be, not unlike other models. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Just the other day I was sitting on a bench with my eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the sun, and remembering the relaxation of summer. Then I remembered that I live in Texas, land of the 110 degree summer, and that I have Irish blood that makes me burn in the shade. So...no, I'm not ready. [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] Depends. If they have hairy backs and excessive girth I will have to decline on that disturbing mental visual. [b]Hatima[/b] Ugh. Does any woman ever feel ready for bathing suit season? Of course not! [b]A Fly Lady[/b] Yep. I'm fully prepared to lock myself in my room and play Halo all day. Because that's what I do during bathing suit season. [b]Kirov[/b] [i]I have to work out hard to fit in my Borat-style bathing suit. It drives the ladies crazy.[/i] [quote][b]Dr. Weird[/b] - Cake or pie?[/quote] Homemade pecan pie. I’m waiting for the brilliant invention of pumpkin cream pecan pie. Dare you say? [b]ForceWielder7[/b] That's none of your business. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Well, since one is a lie, I'll pick homemade apple pie. [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/185x4hK.jpg]I will let, Dr. Who, answer that visually.[/url] [b]Hatima[/b] I prefer pie. Pumpkin, apple, cherry, lemon, chocolate…I’m ready for the holidays again! (definitely not swim suit season!) [b]A Fly Lady[/b] Muffins. [b]Kirov 099[/b] [i]Kirov is a rebel.[/i] *[url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forum/Post?id=59990980&path=1]Continued below[/url]

    • Yay! My question was answered! Although I find the lack of moshpitting, disturbing. As always, good job guys!

        [quote][b]A Fly Lady[/b] - If you could be any animal for a day, which animal would you choose, and why?[/quote] I would be a penguin. Because ladies love penguins. [b]ForceWielder7[/b] I'd be a mole and tell everyone everything about Destiny. [b]Cicero J Faraday[/b] Tiger. Then DeeJ might mistake me for Raspy and accidentally let me see something secret related to Destiny! [b]AxJARxOFxDIRT[/b] [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100313020133/theiceage/images/4/4a/SIdSloth2.jpg]Sid the Sloth[/url], because that's just how I roll. [b]Hatima[/b] When I asked this question, I was watching a National Geographic Channel show about Great Owls. If I could be an animal for a day I’d be something cool, like a Golden Eagle. Why? I’d be a badass with huge talons, amazing eyesight, and I’d just be able to fly over and poop on anything I’d want. [b]A Fly Lady[/b] I guess I would be a hawk. It would be amazing to experience flight of my own accord, without any mechanical assisstance. [b]Kirov 099[/b] Alright guys, that cuts it for the end of this Week’s Communisack. I hope you enjoyed it! Ever want to be the host of one of these? Well, next week is your chance. Keep an eye out Monday for the thread and post in it for your chance to host next week’s mailsack! Have a great weekend.

        • As this thing progresses, the people involved in the community seem to be slimming down. Hope that Bungie gives a reason for people to come back here and chat with us soon. The fact that Destiny sounds like an inbred child from World of War Craft, Halo/Marathon and SimCity, isn't enough to keep people here. And for some reason, no mater how bad it sounds right now, I still want to know more. But i believe that is because I want my hope to be higher for this game. Back on topic. I still like reading from the community, it is a "nice" place to hang around during a little free time.
