Video: The Superintendent's Sorrow

by Dustin Burg { Jul 21st 2008 at 11:30AM }

Poor Superintendent. You were a mysterious little character, one that promised a new Bungie project and one whose countdown was prematurely ended. Last week, we thought we would finally get a chance to know about you, your plunger and why you were so adamant about cleaning up. We know you aren't gone forever, instead you are just gone for now. We wait patiently for your return and in your memory, we posted a tribute video after the break. Long live Superintendent ... we miss you already.

Well done that was funny, I saw this story on my "what do you call them, Feeeeds"

harry @ Jul 21st 2008 11:51AM

Nice! very well put together to whoever did it.

brytdavis @ Jul 21st 2008 11:57AM

Oh ... my ... god ... that is brilliant. Voice is creepy, but goddamn that is insane!

SAGExSDX @ Jul 21st 2008 12:00PM

oh superintendent. you will one day get your chance to shine.

Haha that's the best! I swear that melody is already another song, but a more serious song. It sounds very familiar...

RangerPrimeX @ Jul 21st 2008 12:09PM

The song is from Little Mermaid. 'Part of your World'

BobTheMonkey @ Jul 21st 2008 12:52PM

@RangerPrimeX

Sometimes sarcasm is just completely missed.

Mike @ Jul 21st 2008 5:39PM

@BobTheMonkey: Are you sure? It sounded like an honest question to me, and RangerPrimeX answered it nicely. Either way, his post was certainly not pointless and condescending like yours.

ffac789 @ Jul 21st 2008 5:56PM

Yeah, hate to say it but I was being completely clean of any sarcasm. It sounded familiar and I was somehow able to sing the notes of chorus (Check out E3, etc.). That's strange though because, at least to my knowledge, I've never seen The Little Mermaid.

Boff @ Jul 22nd 2008 4:31AM

Liar

ffac789 @ Jul 22nd 2008 10:01AM

What?! I hope that was sarcasm, it kinda seemed like it, but I honestly did recognize the song. I can't make up that I recognize it can I? It was another song after all.

The human boredom knows no limits...

E.J. @ Jul 21st 2008 12:41PM

@ffac: It's a song from the Little Mermaid

Kizzle @ Jul 21st 2008 1:15PM

mikazi @ Jul 21st 2008 1:26PM

It made me feel sad :'(

Fire Fawkes @ Jul 21st 2008 1:48PM

At first it was funny. Then, suddenly...it made me sad.
*sniff* poor SI, he deserves the limelight!

*sobs*

Doc @ Jul 21st 2008 3:22PM

i feel the same way. at first i thought it was cool and funny, then, i felt bad and sad for the little guy...Hang in there man...*sniff sniff*...You'll get your chance!

diamondxp @ Jul 21st 2008 2:14PM

Bravo!

Intelligent and Funny. It even invokes emotion. You sir are a master.

bigC24 @ Jul 21st 2008 2:14PM

As a huge Bungie fan, the song made me sad. If Bungie was willing to hype up this announcement as much as they did, chances are it was going to be really good... and the Superintendent was going to be the star of E3.

He'll get his chance to shine soon.
