One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

Is that supposed to be a joke or is there a background to the title. Every bungie employee has a weird one but his is so, random

He was "sent west" to work for Bungie, I know that.

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

He was sent west, straight from Gotham.

Maybe its code for their new game!

He headed up TiedTheLeader. Their clan was called the gunslingers, and they have a bit of an old West motif going on. When Deej banned someone from the clan or site, he would tell them they were "Sent West". It's been a catchphrase of his for years.

Halocharts was a member of the GGN, and we would assemble teams to skirmish the Gunslingers on occasion. Also, a couple of my favorite Halo buddies tried to join TTL a while back (bobcast and berserker), but DeeJ sent them west.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I wonder if instead of banning you, he just sends you west.

Well, I was making tacos so, I'm not sure about the other guys.

"Sent west" has to be a Dark Tower reference.

It is.

At the end of a gunslinger's training, they were to face off against their teacher, a man named Cortland, in an effort to earn their guns. If they failed this final face-off, they were forever banished, or 'sent west'. DeeJ's title is tongue-in-cheek, implying that he's working at Bungie because he failed at some other task.

He is still convinced that the gold rush of California is going on.

Originally, he should've been in the wild wild west of United State. Due to popular demands and setback, DeeJ was forced to work along with the chaotic building with horrifying demands for him.

Poor DeeJ, he sure does miss spinnin' those revolvers!

Thank you.

I think his title is pretty self explanatory, unless it's some sorta subliminal message.

  • 01.19.2012 5:06 PM PDT

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

His office is on the left side of bungie studios?

Because he smells like honey.
