I wonder who has better job security, better pay and works under better conditions... Urk or an environment artist?

Considering that it's a game company I think the answer will be interesting ;)

(All baseless speculation, of course)
Pretty sure all PR guys are basically expendable unless they make themselves useful in other ways, and in that respects, I'd imagine an EnvArtist has a lot more job security.

But you could never replace urk...

You should really stop saying "/thread" when the things you say don't even come close to ending a thread (referring to your other post in the Universe).

First, both posts were meant to be taken as jokes. Obviously urk does more than write BWUs, because otherwise he would be out of a job right now. Secondly, don't tell me what I should/ shouldn't do, I do what I want (within forum rules of course). Thirdly, as I am a gentleman, have a pleasant evening.
OT: I honestly had no idea what urk's job was before this thread. I rate this thread 5 stars.

He can usually be found sweeping the floor and mopping the bathroom tiles.

Wasn't the same said about Frankie?

He is paid to maintain the site's community, I believe.

Well did we get another Frankie? No, we got a better PR guy ;)

I can tell that urk is at Bungie for Bungie; I can't say I see the same for Frankie.

How can you tell anything about Urk?

I could tell that Frankie was there for us, because we saw him and we knew him and we knew his personality.

I've had minor dealings with Urk and he's nice, but Frankie just seemed like more of a 'community guy'.

If I close my eyes I can see what he looks like, I can hear his voice, and I can imagine his interaction with others. Maybe he's just more memorable. Maybe it's thanks to those studio tour videos.

Funny thing is, I could say the same about Doug Zartman...

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Interact with the community i think.

Weren't all the initial weekly updates posted by Frankie? I enjoyed reading those (Don't get me wrong all posts made by Bungie are all good in some way)

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

He's the dude that Bungie deserves, but not the one it needs right now... and so we'll hunt him... because he can take it... because he's not a dude... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Marvelous Bauble...

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

This account is now retired due to WLID changing. Webteam needs to fix that, seriously >.>

Moral of the story is: Make a damn studio tour video, Urk!

Oh, looks like you did... Just goes to show how memorable it was :/
Lobby and toilets... That'd be why!

Make another one!!! Come on, half a day of filming and a day to edit it. I'm sure you can fit it in somewhere.

Great Scott!

Do you ever wonder if Urk is the only ginger at Bungie?
It's one of the many questions that keep me up at night.
