In Response To: "Damage & Spin" (CubicCircle)

: Throughout Bungie games, the term "Damage & Spin" has occured
: in the credits section. I've never seen it used by any other company. I've
: always believed this to be referring to all the data and numbers that are
: in, let's say, an Anvil physics model, that is, the numeric values of
: healths and damages (and I can't go on, it's just too mouth watering).
: I was just wondering, have I got it wrong?
: What does the term refer to?

"Damage & Spin" refer sto PR - public relations. "Damage" is damage control, e.g. keeping people from getting really pissed off that they don't have the game yet. "Spin" is making people think something different than is actually the complete and unbiased truth, e.g. that they don't have their game through no fault of your own, but simply because you're waiting for the boxes to package the game in.
