Bungie Community,

Hello! Don't you all look nice today.

I am writing to solicit content for a series of Question/Answer sessions that I intend to run on the Bungie Blog. You ask. I answer.

This is a chance for you to give voice to things that are on your mind. I will answer if I can. The dialogue will not happen in real time. I will handpick some interrogatives, and draft answers in an article to be posted later. Our conversation will be published weekly.

Subjects for Questions I am likely to answer:
-How to occupy yourselves while we are dark
-Life at Bungie
-General gaming discussion

Subjects for Questions I will NOT answer:
-Bungie's next project
-Timelines for announcements
-Sensitive personal details [social security number, mailing address, etc]

So... What's on your mind?

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

Q: Will more events like Ride Alongs be planned for the future?
Like custom title and avatar contests?

Q: I saw the Webmaster come out and eat some Turkey, since it appears he is done with his pee break, when will he take our letters again?

Hello DeeJ,

I was wondering if you've planned any Ride-alongs on different titles? Ie. Battlefield, Civ V and such. Granted I wont be able to attend them due to my already being there for one but i'm still curious.
