	Bungie Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bungie Studios is a video game developer founded in 1991 under the name "Bungie Software Products Corporation" (or in the non-legal definition "Bungie Software") by two undergraduate students at the University of Chicago, Alex Seropian and Jason Jones.
		Bungie games were particularly well-loved by players due to their complex backstories which often left more unanswered than revealed.
		However, Bungie later stated that the Haunted Apiary was not directly written by them, although it was written using the Halo Story Bible, and its status as canon is still in question.

	Blue's News: Q&A with Bungie's Doug Zartman
		With this morning's announcement that Microsoft would be acquiring Bungie (developers of Halo, Oni, and the Myth and Marathon games) we tracked down PR manager Doug Zartman and had him answer a few questions about what this means for their games and the company's future.
		Bungie has always tried to keep abreast of the industry, if not ahead of it, and next-gen consoles seem like the place to be if you develop games.
		Bungie was not in immediate danger of going under or anything like that, but we realized that within a few years we’d need a strong partner if we wanted to keep making games the way we always have.

		It is led by one of the two Bungie founders, Alex Seropian, and in fact seven(!) of the 11 employees have previously worked at Bungie.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: "Halo 2" ready for blastoff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		And at the center of it all is Bungie, a former developer of Macintosh games and the creator of the original "Halo." That game was initially to be made for the personal computer, and its fate, like that of Bungie's, was something no one could have predicted.
		Bungie was a relaxed environment, Seropian said, but everyone working there felt pressure to impress each other and not to fail.
		"Bungie as a creative team of developers should be working on the things that they want to be working on first and foremost, because good teams are hard to come by," Parsons said.

		The Bungie Heel Strap was originally developed for cold water divers who found fin buckles difficult when wearing gloves or mitts, particularly when making surf entries and exits.
		The elasticity of the Bungie adjusts the tension of the fin around the heel of the foot and with a quick pull of the tab, the fin is easily secured on or pulled off.
		The Bungie Heel is fitted with a fleece and nylon covered polyethelene heel pad designed to cushion the heel and distribute the tension of the strap.
