I remember people raging in the Halo 3 and Optimatch forums that Shishka was playing Modern Warfare 2 more than Halo back when he was the Playlist Overlord...

I doubt they really play any other companies' games. Such a thing could be construed as treason.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

As evident by the number of steaks some teams gave out.

Actually its supported to try other games. Without knowing what is working out there in gaming we would fall behind. There are a LOT of great games out there currently.

I hope he knew you were watching him, otherwise that'd be creepy.

A more interesting question: Do the Bungie guys play other games strictly for fun, for research (scope out the competition and get new ideas), or both?

They're gamers too.
I suspect for both, but mostly for fun.

I'm sure they get new ideas for their games because they play other games. It would be stupid of them to not have fun playing other games. If I remember correctly a while back they had at party at Bungie where they had different groups, and they played against each other. They played games other then Halo.

yeah 3 of them are playing Borderlands with me right now!

That's a lie... nobody ever plays Borderlands with me :'(

Games are good. 'The more the merrier' has never been so true in this instance.

  • 08.15.2011 10:40 AM PDT

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Of course they do, how else would Marty be so awesome at making music if he hasn't played Chrono Trigger before?

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Of course they do. They'd be foolish not to from a professional perspective, but would also be foolish to not enjoy all the other great games out there.

LOL. It seems they play games made by other people more than they play their own games, yes; I agree.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

That's like asking does an author only read books he or she has written? Or does a director only watch movies he's directed?

No it isn't.

The author makes all the decisions in a book; there is not a team of people doing separate tasks like choosing the font colour for a specific word.

Again with the movie director: I doubt the camera man would appreciate the full picture from the clips that he had done.

Games have multiplayer, books do not.

Yes they play other games. Do they play other games well? That's much muddier water.
