Subject: Mail Call! Fill the sack.

Dear Bungie Community,

This week, the plan was for you to be watching our Winter Pentathlon from virtual stadium seats encircling our office-turned-arena for a day. A nasty storm front for which the majestic Pacific Northwest was not prepared had other plans. You may have heard that our multi-faceted battle royale has been rescheduled to happen next week. And so it shall!

Thus, I have nothing prepared to share with you today. To keep our conversation fresh (I do enjoy it so), I am opening the mail sack. Fill it with your most urgent curiosities. Tell me what is on your mind. I will post as official a statement as I can muster two Friday's from now. Don't forget, this time next week, you are still invited to witness the carnage that we bring upon ourselves. Four Schools. One Cup.

I will take your questions now. Please limit yourselves to only one question apiece. See how many pages you can dog-pile onto this thread before I realize that it has spun out of control and lock it down like a riot in progress.

Ask away,

DeeJ BNG

Alright I got one! I made a bet with a recent friend on who was going to the super bowl, and then who would win.

So who do you think is winning the super bowl?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Once again, got any ideas to revitalize groups -- new features, etc -- that you're willing (or allowed) to share?

  • 01.20.2012 12:21 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

How crammed are the hours there at this early/medium point in development? Any of the employees starting to pull the overnighters yet or do the lights actually turn off every night?

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

Have you guys thought about putting a vintage section in Bungie store? (Like selling Marathon and Myth shirts, old soundtracks, etc).

Dear DeeJ BNG,

Is Bungie Aerospace currently limited purely to mobile, tablet and Facebook games? I've been interested in finding out if there will be any support or assistance for XBLIG or Steam games. My team at Whisper are eager to know!

All my love,

~SJ

We should know better, because we are better.

When can we expect to see news about your new project?

Dear DeeJ,

Do you think this letter format should become a "thing"?

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Will the products from the Bungie store become available for purchase in other countries in the near future?

Remember,
It is easy to be male
it is another thing to be a man.

Say, whatever happened to those Bungie points from the times of myth and lore?

NO GROUP INVITES

Jesus took 3 days to respawn, talk about lag.

In the opinion of Bungie, what project that you have created ,excluding your current one, do you believe to be your best work? Your personal opinion on this would also be welcome.

What's been the biggest surprise / shock / eye-opener since starting at Bungie?

Edit:
This is all that I could come up with. hah!

If I were to send a letter to Bungie Studios addressed to you, DeeJ, offering a substantial bribe for one of those Destiny t-shirts would you:
A: Use the letters back and envelope as scrap paper.
B: Make a paper airplane out of it and throw it at [insert employee]
C: Accept bribe and send me one of those splendiferous tees.
D: All of the above

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I suggest you have one team honor the tradition of going "skins" (skins vs shirts) during the pentathlon. Do you think any particular team has the warbles to go shirtless as a collective for the entire run of the event?

-edit-

I decided to comply because I'm supposed to be setting an example, and I'm kind of a wimp.

-edit-

DeeJ said: This question will be answered after the Pentathlon happens, ya know.

How long did it take Jon Weisnewski and his band mates to come up with the songs from Sandrider? (See Bungie on FaceBook if you have no idea what I'm talking about).

Awesome album by the way, I'm considering purchasing a digital copy.

What is the ultimate question that goes with the ultimate answer?

  • 01.20.2012 12:41 PM PDT

My thread posted earlier this week never got answered so I guess I'll just post my question here.

What are the demographics of Bungie such as ethnicity, race, religion, etc. and do any of you let those influences come out through your games?
