People like to be teased. It’s a simple fact. Case in point: on Bungie’s website, there is a post dated 9/22 with the title “Pardon Our Dust” and a whole bunch of random text. For your perusal, here it is:

Listeners of RetroForceGO! know I am no fan of Bungie games, so I can’t pretend I’m waiting on this one with baited breath, but I do know it could mean something great for a lot of gamers who love their work. Just what though, I couldn’t say (although our cbloggers are already hard at work to crack the case). Any ideas as to what this mysterious message may mean?
