Nature knows no tragedies or catastrophes. It knows no good or evil. It only knows creation and destruction. And no one can be truly happy and free, in the way we were as children before learning of our mortality, without at some point confronting our destruction. And all we can ask for, all we can hope for, all that we can beseech god for, is to win a few battles in a war we will ultimately lose.

i love these breaking in interviews, i read em everytime they crop up, more of these!

I'd love a video one, infact i'd love any video to do with bungie tbh.

or another podcast! or a video podcast?! A VIDCAST?


That`d actually be pretty cool - just an audio interview would be sweet
- and wouldn`t it take just as much effort?

no need to turn words into text!

Nick Gerrone, a Pacific Northwest native that is a cyber-ninja riding a rabid tyrannosaurus.

If only everyone in the Workplace were as passionate about their work as we are finding in the Bungie employees featured in the "Breaking In."

I wonder why they did.

a) because everybody thought it was a pic of orbital and the Halo 3 forum was being majorly spammed
b) it was a pic of a modded map

Could be one of those, could be both

What map is that in the screenshot?


It's a never-before-seen map called LEARN TO READ IT'S LAST RESORT.

Seriously. More stupid posts = I get blacklist happy. Get back on topic.


--I'm sorry I just had to go there once again. Be gentle!--

Trying to hide something, Shish? Why the sudden change in screen shots?

Stamping things as fail and breaking things, could there be a better job?

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Cyber Ninja riding a rabid T-rex... sounds like a fun job?

Hey there, Nick!

Nice to meet ya (at least in some sort of non-direct, through-an-article way : ) )! I also hail from the illustrious Gonzaga University, here in Spokompton. I had a quick question for you though: I noticed you said that you received a B.A. in Theater Arts, and I was wondering how your degree prepared you for your work as a software test engineer (if at all)? I am interested because my major (Biochemistry) isn't exactly something that parallels game development/design too well, but I have always loved to entertain the thought of working with the fine individuals at Bungie. I figured that if you managed to land a spot with Bungie after receiving a B.A. in Theater Arts, that my prospects of future Bungie employment might have some hope after all. Any and all help/advice/suggestions is appreciated. I hope I wasn't too confusing. Thanks again!

P.S. Urk, you did a nice job once again!

"Holy Captain Kirk's Nipples!"

I so wish I could work a Bungie. You guys have been an inspiration to my clan and I. We're actually thinking of all being game designers. lol. Can't wait to go out there and try to be like all these people that are getting hired for Bungie.

Wow, this is my favorite interview yet. I would love to work at a place like Bungie someday. But first I've got to grapple with a few game related concepts. Like, you know, THE BASICS OF CODE. How the *Blam* do people make sense of this stuff?

*Continues reading a book on the aforementioned subject.*

And your right. even if i was twice as good as he is i would still look up to him as a personal icon.

Not to sound like a suckup but i see him as someone who would inspire people to learn more about programming then anything else.

  • 12.12.2008 1:27 AM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

"yet I was excited to go to work every morning."

Ahhh, the American dream. I wish I had that dream more often.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

GOOD interview

Thanks dudes

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Holy crap, I didn't even know that there were discussion threads on the interviews until now... How late am I?

Anyway, thanks for the alignment reference, it really made my day.
