To mark the anniversary, the game studio known for creating Halo on the Xbox produced an hour-long documentary — a “celebration of Bungie’s legacy and a love letter to the community of gamers who have embraced Bungie’s games for two incredible decades” — with footage of its founders developing Macintosh games in a one-room office in Chicago, and a glimpse of the company’s present and future.

Somewhere in between, the game studio was acquired by Microsoft and moved to Bellevue, Wash., only to split off in 2007 to become an independent company. Later, it signed a 10-year publishing deal with Activision Blizzard.

In the video, the company captures interviews with “ever-elusive creative director, Jason Jones — and interviews from key industry veterans and luminaries.”

Cheers to the paper for allowing itself to be savaged by “Daily Show” correspondent Jason Jones. I particularly enjoyed watching Executive Editor Bill Keller gamely explaining the news business while managing to get a dig into Google (GOOG), The Huffington Post and Drudge Report.

Crave more? Here’s an interview The Wall Street Journal’s new “Speakeasy” blog conducted with Jason Jones about the bit. Excerpt:

How’s the mood at the Times these days?

Edgy? No. It was really quite lovely. Let me tell you this, movies have severely misled me on what newspaper rooms should look like. There was no paper stacked six feet high on people’ desks. No one’s yelling stop the presses.

What are people up to over there?

I think people are using the Internet to look for new jobs. There are lots of great Web sites out there: Monster.com; Craigslist is great.
