Do the Math, Blow Some Minds

<------- {Oh the complicated number OOOH!]











This is just a quick burst from my end tonight. Don't miss "Blue Bloods" on Channel 11 at 9:00pm central. That's the new cop show with Tom Selleck and Donnie Donnie Wahlberg. Don't miss it!


Now for the original intent behind tonight's post.
They just can't help one upping people, even themselves!

[Keep it Clean!] -------------->









Bungie dropped an updated list of figures based on what they've seen us doing with their new game.

• "On Tuesday, 09/14/2010 at approximately 1:30 pm PST, just a few hours after launch, Halo: Reach’s online unique user count had already completely eclipsed Halo 3’s total tally for the entirety of the week (09/13 through 09/20).
• To account for the same number of online players found in Halo: Reach during that same window (just six days), They had to run the numbers for Halo 3 going all the way back to 8/6/2010, encompassing a full 45 days of Halo 3 play!
• Ultimately, Halo: Reach’s online population for the first week dwarfed Halo 3’s by comparison, snagging four times the number of total unique users and decimating Halo 3’s all time high of concurrent users by more than 65%.

And, of course, the requisite numerical absurdities:

• 70 Million+ Games have been played
• 235 Million+ Player-Games have been played
• 2 Million+ Files have been uploaded to File Shares
• 5,901 man-years have been spent in online Reach games (sorry, Corporate America!)
• 20 Million Daily challenges have been completed
• 709,840 Weekly challenges have been completed
• 165 Billion Credits have been earned"

They're so good, they're spanking themselves! What do you do when your so Awesome you make yourself look bad, by making yourself look so, so good! [Don't try to figure that out, I stopped once the headaches kicked in. I'm doing you a favor...really.]


And that concludes my broadcast night. Good'night!
