I <3 you too Bungie

Being in the middle of one, it made me curious if they partake in these marathons of work. I have heard tales of them in the past. If memory serves me right, there was some kind of all-nighter-hell around Halo 2 because of lack in process/production staff.

Just curious.

I would say possibly every night, even more once its crunch time.

I wouldn't say everyday, but I assume once in awhile when a deadline is in danger of not being made yeah. I'm sure even Bungie has them too. Deadlines are important for development. I wouldn't want to wait like 15 years for Destiny to be released from development hell like Duke Nukem Forever

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit,
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

I agree with ecartman, it wouldn't be everyday that working through the night and into the next day's morning would happen everyday, but I would guess that if one team isn't pulling their weight then everybody comes in so as to counterbalance the time lost. It would be more frequent near the time for public announcements and right before a game is gold.

Whenever there's beer and snack cakes involved... usually around deadlines.

I would assume when there is beverages and food they would.

Everybody loves a good old fashioned deadline.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

So they haven't slept in years?

Positive vibes.

I'm sure they do. If memory serves me right, they're human beings, just like you and me. Naturally, if necessary, they probably do stay up all night.

That really depends on what your definition of "Human" is...
