Uhm, OP, showing up to any workplace uninvited usually results in being turned away without sympathy.

I can think of one exception. It was this big house on the edge of town that had red porch lights. People had told me that there were plenty of girls working (or working girls, I forget which) there.

So I went inside and the place was full of women who were all scantily clad and the nice old lady who seemed to be in charge apparently wanted me to "pick one or two" (whatever that means) of the nice young ladies. They were VERY welcoming and didn't seem to mind showing me all around their workplace.

Now that I think about it, I have never been so welcomed into a workplace before. The odd thing was that my time there didn't seem like work and when the tour was over, they wanted me to pay them.

Strange story I know. But you are right, most places aren't as welcoming as that Core House was (at least I think that is what they called it).


Is this story supposed to have some sort of moral life lesson or something?

We are sometimes a socially awkward bunch (some of us anyway. I know I am). Go easy on us. We love you all, but when approached at work, we can get thrown off a bit. If you talked to one of us at PAX (a sweet community gathering), I'm sure you'd have a totally different experience. In fact, I guarantee it!*

Such is the way of life for a collective of what amounts to nerds and gamers. And I mean that nicely. >_>Posted by: Ghintoch

And you're telling me that if the employee were to have said, "Sorry, we're not allowed to give tours", that you wouldn't have replied with "But/Come on/Aw please", etc? Yeah, I don't think so.

Shaking his head and walking away was probably the smartest thing to do. They're at work to do a job, and that particular job is not PR work. So, they don't need to be friendly to you. And just because the mans customer service skills weren't to your liking doesn't exactly classify him as "rude".

Agreed. He's pretty young so he can't help being ignorant.

I just happened to notice a change and wanted to point it out, and I haven't seen anyone else mention it so why not :)

In no way did I quote him for the sole purpose of quoting an employee, and I believe that's the first time in my year-old account that I've quoted one. Sorry if you found that obnoxious, but I just wanted to point that out.

Why would they let you have a tour when they are working on a top secret operation?

Though I am liking the idea of a Bungie-themed coffee shop chilled-arcade in the same Galleria. Maybe not with direct line-of-site to the studio, but a place for fans (of Bungie, of coffee, of a cool place to chill) to hang out.



EA Tiburon has a giant front lobby that's left unlocked during business hours. They have couches, a clothing/game store, and a display of a bunch of awards, football helmets (signed) and some other stuff in there. I'm sure you can't hang out, but they wont stop you immediately from walking in. All their offices are on floors 2-7 though so I can understand how they do that.

Oh and another thing they have there is a full arcade with air hockey, golf, a few shooters and racers. It's crazy cool in there.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Are you just going to be they or are you going to do something there. You know, things like showing of Bungie Aerospace, The Bungie Foundation . . . or maybe revealing "The Tiger"? Nah, it's just cool you guys will be there.

OP Comes across as sounding desperate and childish in my opinion.

If I were to ever attend say, PAX (which would cost me a great deal of money), I'd love to go and see the Bungie building, get a photo of it outside etc, and possibly be lucky enough to ask Jerome to come and have a snap taken with me. And truth be told, if they have an intercom or something, I probably would press it and ask to speak to Shishka, just for the sake of it. But I wouldn't ever expect to get in, and I wouldn't bother a Bungie employee (unless it was Urk, in which case I'd ask for a picture, but he's basically Bungie's PR, so would be fine with it I assume).

But yeah, otherwise, OP comes across as a bit creepy.

By the way, I'm aware Shishka now works at 343i, so if you were going to correct me, you're missing the reference. :)
