Subject: Jerome didn't kill me...he invited me in!!!

Aspiring Bungie Tester

Something happened today. I may or may not be pursuing my dream job working at a little company called Bungie, so my wife and I were visiting Bellevue, Washington today (from Tennessee!) to check some stuff out.

Bungie says no one can get past him, but for some reason (maybe because I knew his name before he said it and asked to just shake his hand) Jerome let me into Bungie's office in downtown Bellevue. Proof of pudding:

I basically fainted. He also let me wander around the trophy room and check out all their accolades, including the Fist of Pentathlon and the diorama scale of the Halo 3 Believe ad. Oh, and the life-size WETA weapons, like the Gravity Hammer!

I'm meeting with a former Bungie tester Monday night to talk about job application...pretty excited. =D

Also going to go back tomorrow for Jerome's autograph. ; )

Your hairstyle... I think he let you in for the laugher. Anyway, enjoy your time with the former Bungie tester and good luck.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Congratulations! It's always good to see someone take steps toward accomplishing their dreams.

I've heard stories regarding Jerome in which his popularity shocked him. Being a human, I'm sure he is not immune to flattery, and being recognized while in a position as a security guard has got to be something he never expected when he accepted the job.

Best of luck to you in your interview. Keep your head up, though I'm sure you'll do fine.

Your charisma must be 10.

Or maybe because you are looking into working for Bungie.
Either way, that is incredibly nice of him to do.

Best of luck with the application. Hopefully you'll make it!

Side note: Those are some amazing sideburns.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Are you...actually bigger than Jerome? My brain is simply not capable of comprehending such a thing. Jerome is my built in limit for understanding human capabilities.

OT: Awesome.

Its always amazed me that we're so into all that is Bungie that we celebratize the security guards. I can't honestly say I know the name of any other security guard at any other company. I know Jerome though. I've seen people ask if he ever gets on the site to see when we're talking about him. I've never seen an answer though.

Anyway, good luck at the interview man.

I've heard rumors that he's not a Halo fan at all, not playing any of the games, so I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't or doesn't check on the community.

I was a finalist :P

First off, epic sideburns; secondly, the photo is awesome, especially in greyscale; and thirdly, congratulations and best of luck on that job application talk. It's always great to see someone following their passions and goals, especially when it relates to something which you are going to contribute to for most of your life.

I'm pretty sure Jerome signs his autographs by using your blood for ink.

  • 03.03.2012 12:48 AM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

OP is a pretty cool guy, and I'm jelly.

"What does being a Firefighter mean? You show up, scrape a few drunken douche bags off the street, take 'em to the hospital, you go home, and that's it. But that once in a blue moon, you're there for someone in their darkest hour. Your a friendly face in a sea of sh­it.
You're a hero"

Jeenzz is my waifu <3

I can go anywhere I want, save for guarded government bases, using my Fire Department turnout gear. Just run in yelling for people to evacuate.

Of course, that is slightly illegal and would kind of look bad on a FD resume. Or background checks for anything, really. So I won't be doing that any time soon (ever)

OT: That's pretty cool, dude. Best of luck!

Jerome seems like a pretty chill dude.

  • 03.03.2012 1:18 AM PDT

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

Dude, that's fantastic. I'm extremely jealous, and I must say that your chops are lovely.

Basically, I make the best topics ever.

Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.

Jerome is the best. My dad bought a car from a contractor for Bungie a year or so ago and the guy left a briefcase in the trunk. We decided to stop by Bungie and drop it off, and Jerome was super cool. We didn't get a job interview or anything like the OP, but it was till cool to experience the entrance to greatness.

The Gigga -blam!-h has returned -blam!-!

Them patillas!!

OT: Nice. Gooodluck on your interview

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

You look like Bungie materiel... With the beard and everything...

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Damn, nice.

This will definitely give hope to those of us who wish to one day enter.

Join the Bungie Kids Podcast Group!

Listen to our podcast and listen to us talk about the latest Bungie news and Halo: Reach updates!

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Jerome is a pretty frikin tall guy too. I consider myself a pretty tall guy, but I'm not even taller than Jerome. It's a pretty impressive feat to be taller than Jerome.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Cool stuff, man. You a very lucky, fella. Also, good luck with the job application.
