A few people here and there are complaining about not knowing who our new community manager is. Some people are honestly raging, complaining about it and making ridiculous assumptions in private groups *coughmythicmemberswtfcough*

Why not throw a few questions his way. Maybe he'll answer? Maybe you'll feel a little more secure.


*note: He's a new employee, more than likely up to this neck in things he has to do. If he doesn't reply, don't sweat it. Just pull 'a certain Spartan' and check his post history every two hours.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Like what? Talk about how The flood is full of spam, how the mods do a terrible job, how the community forum should be improved, etc?

It's nice to have a fresh face to talk about. Especially in such a time of darkness.

Which is ironic, since those same people would likely also claim that they read every post that urk ever wrote, including this one.

Very well... Ask your worst. I will answer what I can.


DeeJ: What foot do you step into the shower with first?


In order to determine the dominant foot of any human, stand behind them and give them a push forward. The foot that steps out in front them to correct the compromise of balance is the dominant one. In my case, it is the right foot.

Gun powder.

I've been an active part of the Halo community for almost six years now. That's a long time. But to be honest, I never found out too much about Tied the Leader ( though I think I played with a few folks from there at some point... eh). I always was under the impression that they were Halo based, though this could be mistaken.

So the question. Why come here? I'm not the type of person that says, 'You can only like one game series EVARZ!!!' But what reason did you have for leaving a Halo centered deal and joining Bungie, a company beginning a whole new chapter you (as far as I know) knew nothing about before having been hired?

Also a second question. What do you think of BUNGLE? If you haven't tried it, do you think you would find it enjoyable, or are you perhaps more 'MLG' oriented (not that you necessarily have to be a fan of MLG, just using it as an oppositional organization). Link for reference.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Is your job as Assistant to the Community Manager more focused on the community on Bungie.net in terms of browsing forums every now and again, or is it more akin to a PR guy?

  • 11.16.2011 9:50 AM PDT

Feel free to msg me over B.net or XBL if you wan't to talk halo or any other game.

Are you the designated barer of bad news guy, you know as the new guy?

How have you managed to get people to dislike you before even posting anything? Your skills are unmatched, how can I achieve the same mastery as you?

You going to be around often? It gets soo lonely sometimes?

How are you getting settled in?

What are you going to do first?

How does it feel to be for some reason, shunned, by 95% of the community when you have been in this job for such little time and posted barely anything?

^Wow where the hell did that come from.

Optimatch is dead, you know. No need to rehash dumb old arguments that never had a point in the first place.

  • 11.16.2011 10:03 AM PDT


BF3 or MW3?


Both. Sorry. I play many games. In fact, mixing it up is a great way to not burn out on a title. I love the vehicular mayhem of Battlefield [ask me about my love for the Apache], and I love the purist gunplay of Call of Duty [ask me about my career in HC Search & Destroy]. Although nothing comes close to rescuing a flag carrier in a Warthog.


Best Bungie DLC?


The Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3 will always have a soft spot in my heart, since the launch was the first time I had the chance to visit Bungie as a fan and meet some members of the team.


What are you supposed to be doing right now?


This.


Favorite Bungie Title?


Halo 3. For very personal reasons. This is not an assessment of quality, as much as a recollection of great times had with friends. That is the great thing about being a gamer - the chance to shape the experience for yourself.


What do you think about a community contest to make you a sweet avatar?


No one touches my avatar. There will be contests, but the gun stays in the holster.


Was working at Bungie a dream/goal of yours?


Certainly. I have spent a lot of time following and writing about the creative process that spins out of this place. I have also been a fan of how much attention they pay to the people that play their games.

...what reason did you have for leaving a Halo centered deal and joining Bungie, a company beginning a whole new chapter you (as far as I know) knew nothing about before having been hired?


TTL was born of Halo, and certainly devoted to playing every title in the franchise. However, its a misconception that we were Halo exclusive. The Gunslingers are vanguards, always seeking out new gameplay riddles to solve together. If a game enables us to form up into a team and take on the world, we will give a try. If that game is good, we will follow it to the clearing at the end of the path. We just talked publicly about Halo more than any other title, because the Bungie community always provided the best audience for machinima or articles about the experience.


What do you think of BUNGLE?


I have heard of it, but never played. We can make that my first round of quality time with y'all. I am a recreational gamer. I think every gamer is competitive in nature, but fun is more important to me than victory.
