Of all the places to find a reference to Bungie, we never would have thought it would be in a textbook. It appears, however, that Bungie has indeed made it into the halls of academia. The reference in question was discoverd by a Halo.Bungie.Org member, who found it in his Management textbook (we guess they must be well managed). See? Video games can teach you things. Unfortunately, it seems the power of Bungie wasn't enough to keep the textbook's indexers from spelling the company's name incorrectly. It appears in the index of the book as "Bungle Studios."

Maybe it's a reference to the old Red vs. Blue video for the first Halo 2 trailer.
Tucker: "'Bungle'..."
Church: "That's an 'I', you idiot!"
Tucker: "Oh, right. 'Bingle'..."
Church: "BUNGIE!!!"

More than likely, they will be in a text titled "How to make terrible sequels" or "How to destroy a franchise" or even better yet, "Linear Game Design For Dummies feat. Bungie Studios."
HaloCE was a great game. None of their work on Halo 2 or Halo 3 should be cited in any type of academic text. It would be a crime to let their work on those games be cited for anything other than sub-par work.
Cheers.

If it is spelled wrong it isn't in the scan above. Look more closely that isn't an L it is an I.

Textbooks' indexes are written by third parties. So, it's not the author's that screwed it up, it the indexers.
