The term "Blam!" is now used to censor curse words on the [[Bungie.net]] forum, the [[Bungie Weekly Update|Weekly Updates]],<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13382 '''Bungie.net''', ''Legendary Map: Avalanche'']</ref> and to censor inappropriate content names in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', and ''[[Halo 4]]''.

The word was thought of because [[Bungie]]'s Chicago office was located near a very busy street that had numerous near-collisions between cars.
