13.72 billion years in the making.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

I'm gunning for President, just so I can fire Achronos!


Typo, or malicious intent?

I tried for a bit. I read and taught myself some stuffs. Did some college too. All for not though, because I found out that there probably isn't a job that would interest me in Bungie.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

Economy designer might be nice.

"use the tricks you've learned to ensure players only make the irrational choices you want them to."

OK then chaps, why should the promotion of irrationality impact economy design? Why is it wanted or needed in the player experience?

Answers on a postcard.

It isn't. "Game Economists" just like to pretend it is, because when people inevitably make irrational decisions they can publish the statistics to prove themselves right.

Even if they're wrong they publish the statistics anyway as evidence in support of the immutable human condition.

"Game Economists"
Is this economists who make computer games, or economists specialising in a particular branch of Microeconomics?

Well, look like we're about to kick Achronos out of position. Wait 'till he hears about this ;)

They're economists who are particularly up for a laugh.

They're rare and specific enough that there's no definition of what they do. The only company that immediately springs to my mind that employs an economist to do actual economics rather than just sociological statistics or game design tasks that should be handled by a game theorist is CCP for eve-online, but he's not very good.

I'm going into Computer Science, and I live in Western Washington, so I figure that it would be nice if I could work at Bungie some day. Definitely not right when I get out of College, I'll likely need some experience in the Industry first, even though they offer some entry level positions.

Maybe I'll hit up some of the studios that are part of Bungie Aerospace? Seems like a logical way to get my foot into the door. But the first thing to do is to focus on acing classes at school and doing extracuriculars involving programming.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I'm not really sure, I wouldn't go for bungie in specific, but i'd go in the game design field.

Why do you want to work for Bungie so badly?

If I'd work for them, I'd like to be the guy that says "armor lock isn't going to be fair, you should at least make it stay first-person" or "how about we make invasion colors open when you play as elites vs spartans?" if anything.

And that's one mighty if.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten


Jason Jones is the supreme Overlord, I doubt he is going anywhere.

Over at HFCS we're constantly hard...

Wait...
What?

When I was just starting out high school I had a dream of working at Bungie as a Graphic Artists, which started my learning of the digital arts.

...Then I got involved in VFX and motion graphics. So unless they really need someone who knows their way around After Effects, I don't think I'm ever going to work at Bungie :p

Would you mind to elborate that?

Everyone and their grandmother wants a job at Bungie, but not everyone can get a job there. I'm no artist and I certainly wouldn't be happy sitting behind a computer all day typing out code, frankly I couldn't stand to have a job where I'm inside most of the day.


that's why i chose military

I'm getting a bachelor in computer science, specializing in game design.


I think the entry level gameplay programmer would be a good one.
