Are these questions directed at you, or can they be directed to anyone/everyone at Bungie?

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I'm really curious about a job at a gaming company and especially Bunige (like all fans). I would be extremely greatfull if you answered even a few of these question, to give me a fair idea of what I'd be getting into.

I'm just worried about wasting my time and money on a job that isn't right for me, but I can't really find as much information of it as I hoped I could.

What is a average day at Bungie for the average employee?

What are some entree jobs you feel sure to see opening up in a 2-3 year + degree's length of time?

What's the average work times and work calender look like (especially a rough idea of which days usually end up being the hardest days of work)?

What are some of the greatest aspects of Bungie that you don't see in other lines of work?

*Waites for watchful eyes to pass by and whispers* What do you think of the people that work there, honestly?

What are some of the less desirable aspects of working for Bungie?

Retirement plan?

Do you see the company making a big move in these next few years?

Any way I could get my foot in the door and personally check out the job?

Does working for a game company ruin aspects of the game for it's designers?

How boring is it really to work with C++ in gaming?

How often do you get to share your ideas with everyone, even if you aren't in your field of expertise?

Is there a lot of writing involved with working for Bungie? I (currently) can't write a 5 page essay if my life depended on it.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Whats the biggest surprise/least expected thing you've encountered while working for Bungie.

Q: What is the largest and most significant thing that you've had to cut from a game?

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

Does everyone smile and say hi to Jerome?

Is it true that his eyes are the windows to hell, which is his right, and heaven, which is his left?

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

This is more of a general Bungie question:

Have your views/opinions towards game development changed since jumping into the publishing realm?

  • 12.16.2011 5:08 PM PDT

Thanks, everyone.

I have more questions than I could possible answer. So as not to squander all of this creativity and curiosity, I am going to cap this well until I need more fuel again.

Stay tuned.
