Welcome to Bungie, Max!

AI is actually something I'm passionate about. A few noteworthy rants on my blog about it (or the lack thereof). If you click below, it'll take you there.

Best of luck with the new project -whateveritis. Hopefully, you'll find a way to master that pimp/pirate swagger that's never translated *too well* to videogames.

"Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop smokin'!"

Awwww, you rejected good 'ol VS :(?
Do you still use it for compiling your code (not talking about the game's code, as I would think thats done on a super fast build farm) or do you use some other non-Microsoft product(s) for that too :P?

Can't wait to see what you and Mr. Isla can create this time around :)

If it makes you feel any better Max, at least your name isn't Misty Hyman :X

We've taken a Free Radical. The return of Goldeneye is at hand.

That reminds me...what's happening with the other job opening...the writing one? If its not meant to be so permanent, isn't someone supposed to get it soon?

Hehe, great seeing you on the team, man, you beat me again, there. ;)

Oh, and if you read this, the lady says hi. I still have to send you those pics I promised, but my camera's letting down on me. I'll get those soon enough, and you will have to slap Nathan in his face with them for calling me a lady! Oh, and Frankie too, just because I feel like it.

10 years with Bungie.
3 years with 343 Industries.

It's time for that all to change, and to take 343 to the top.
Bungie, it's been one hell of a good run with you guys. It's just time to move on. We'll be together again soon.

lol, i don't think he is the one who does the scratching......uh, well anyway thats funny, and welcome to bungie Max =) (i wish i could work there with level designing!) ur so lucky u got a job with bungie.

Nice to see the Scottish influence extending further into Bungie, next think you know there will be Irn Bru and Haggis suppers in the canteen.

Mind you Fife - I can see why you ended up in the US :) A friend of mine grew up in Glenrothes and he moved to Edinburgh the first chance he got remarking at the time, "In Fife nobody can hear you scream."

If you need a food parcel Max, hit me up on live at GT: shinesevens, I play with a lot of other Scottish Halo 2 players.

I don't know how anyone could bash the AI in TS3. When I first played it I saw the 60fps, the cartooney animations, and I expected mediocre AI at best. Then the enemies started taking cover and popping out from behind cover and it completely blew me away. Glad to hear he's on board for the next project.

I totally agree with his thoughts on living in America, except the part about drivers - American drivers think they own the road.


and we dont drive on the wrong side of the road, Brits do!

Being own'd by the rest of the talent in the world maybe? Kinda hard to dominate without power in other countries...:p

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

Wow this is really freaky... i think this guys dad taught me Logic at University. i went to St Andrews which is in Fife. One of the lecturers there is called Roy Dyckhoff, in fact he was my project supervisor for my forth year project, and i seem to remember him saying he had a son called Max... I could be wrong... but i'm almost certain... man that would be so cool.... i'd almost have an in at bungie!!!
