ISU Cyclones!

Didn't run into him very much, but I wouldn't take anyone other than Jerry when it comes to the playlist fungineer of the future.

He put in a lot of work to create playlists to try and satify the unsatisfiable like Team Classic and the Arena to keep the useless complainers quiet sometimes while still creating playlists that people actually wanted to play like Action sack and Grifball.

I don't think he was as good as a playlist engineer as Jeremiah. Shishka would always have the same double exp's every four weeks before Reach came out. Plus, he never updated Action Sack with fun new gametypes and maps during Halo 3.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

I remembered nothing but disdain towards him and elation after he left. Did I land in an alternate dimension?

I met him at Comic Con. But I don't miss him.

I do miss the angry hate mail posted about him on the forums though.

None of you knew him personally, so why would you miss him?

I don't get it... I'm not discrediting people's dislike for Shishka, but what did he do to get such a bad reputation. His bungiepedia page says he was known for being 'strict but fair' but most of the times wording like that is code for 'super major dick monkey'.

Could anyone give a specific example of major douchery? Until then I have a hard time believing he's as bad as people are saying (despite their personal opinions, which, again, I'm not trying to invalidate).

What about this?

OT: I do miss Shishka, his posts were usually pretty funny, and I thought that he was a fair moderator.

As amusing as he was on occasion, I honestly can't say that I really miss him.

What he said.
It's hard to miss someone you honestly really do not know.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

20 years old, manager of my family's business, aspiring officer of the law.

I love anything political.

I miss him in the sense that Halo was never more fun than it was under him even if i disagreed with some of his decisions.

It doesn't sit well to know that all that once was is now gone.

Pre' cool guy.
My friends found him on matchmaking a few times.

To be honest, I don't. He never banned me or anything like that, I felt that he just came off like a prick. I found his ways of dealing with people a little....harsh. That stupid shadenfued game to me was the the determining factor. If you're going to ban someone then ban them, don't humiliate the person and then rub salt into the wound.

  • 10.10.2011 8:23 AM PDT

I think the way some people are talking, it sounds like he's died or something. Having never met nor spoken to him, I can't really say I miss him. But that shadenfued game event was quite... well, it's not what I would laugh at anyway.

He gave B.net some flare! Flare only he could bring, and with him gone, that flare was put out.

I have a personal impression on the guy. Matched up with him in Halo 3 one time about 2 years ago, was like "What's up Shishka?". After that, all I heard was the click of his mic being muted... :'(

Thanks a lot!

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

That guy was kind of an ass. He thought just becaus ehe helped make the game he could treat the people who bought it like absolute -blam!-.

Probably my favorite employee, Shishka, randomly vanished. Bungie never issued a public statement, he never said what happened and just wished 343 good luck.

Thats it. He was never heard from again, I miss him. Always answered Pre-Reach questions.


Anyone else miss the guy?
Who? /sarcasm

I always liked shishka. His cynical views of the world and slightly sadistic streak always rang a few chords with me. He would have made a great test subject.

Seeing as I didn't really know him, I can't say that I miss him to tell the truth.

On a related note, ******'s mom has really nice boobs, and it doesn't take much booze or encouragement to get her to let the puppies out of the pen...if you know what I mean...
