February 15th; Less Than Three
Posted By: madmax <max.dyckhoff@gmail.com>Date: 2/14/09 9:35 p.m.


Most of you will have no idea who I am, but suffice to say I have been in the community for a few years, and in that time I have seen a lot of people come and go. Good people, bad people, and wonderful people. Please, whoever you are, take two minutes out of your day to read this post and some of the links later. You won't regret it.

Today is February 15th (well, almost ;), and while many of you will think of this as the day after spending Valentines Day with your sweetheart, or whatever exciting activities you got up to, to a few of us in this group it is a day to remember one of the most wonderful people ever to grace the Bungie community: Brian Morden, or *Ar-Isildur to his online compatriots.

Issy, as we called him, brought sunshine into hundreds of Myth matches, always teaching, never hating. He toured the Bungie offices thanks to the Make-a-Wish foundation the first (I believe) of many such pairings. He recorded dialogue which features in Halo 1. His "End of chemo" party was a weekend long Halo LAN fest.

And all the while he was suffering, he kept spreading the love. He was the original guardian of <3.

I don't have much more to say which hasn't already been written. Miguel wrote this excellent piece which tells you more about him than I could hope to write, you can read in Brian's own words about his trip around the Bungie offices, or you can visit the website for the Brian Morden Foundation, set up in his honour.

And failing that, how about checking out the smoking hot chick he picked up for senior prom:

<3

I made this.
