Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

I suppose I'm thinking about this this from more of an art perspective but it can be applied to other things: Does the studio have a library or stores of resources such as reference images/ inspirational images, texture photography, literature, informational things etc. or is it left more to individuals to find and collect that stuff? How is this all collated?

How would Jerome react if there was a gunman in the studio? (Don't read into this, I'm not a lunatic terrorist planning to bomb the studio.)

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

2/15/12: Francisco Porras, I'll miss you. Rest in Peace.

I'm not asking anymore because you wont answer my (relatively) awesome questions.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Acronos wont respond to my PMs. I even tried to coax him with nude pics of my mom... How do i get him to talk to me?

What's the most embarrassing thing to happen to you while working?

  • 03.12.2012 2:09 PM PDT

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.
- I have asperger's syndrome
- This is the best used 20 seconds of your life
- Official helper to the Halo: Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall! Thread

Firstly, I would like to apoglize for my ignorant questions last week...

- Who was responsible for having the 4 diamonds emblem background in reach being a duplicate of 4 plots, and was he or she made to pay for this horrid act?

------------
Less important/less stupid questions:
------------

- For a 3d design position in game industry, would a general game design degree work better, or a more specific 3d art/design course degree be better? All of the programs I see are either too focused on the technical side, too focused on the art side, or are laughable expensive.

- How is the coffee?

- Are there any recordings of days at the studio filled with various shenanigans that could be shared?

- What was the coolest, yet miniscule, feature/thing that got cut that you guys individually miss the most?

How would one get an internship at Bungie? Age requirement? Experience, if so how much? Would you have to live near Bungie's building or could it be over a network type deal?

Ask us a question for this week's Sack. What's on your mind? Which imaginings about life at Bungie have you always wanted to have confirmed? What curiosities about working in this industry keep you up at night? This is a chance for you to lead the conversation. Dig deep into your souls and drag up something worth contemplating.


When can we expect to hear anything about BUNGIE's new project?

Just tell me if it's in the FPS genre.

What's something that causes a lot of debate or controversy at Bungie that we wouldn't expect?

  • 03.12.2012 2:19 PM PDT

What keeps me up at night? Hmmm. I would have to say hdubya's awesomeness! :)

But in all seriousness how do you guys come up with the ideas you put into your games? Especially, Destiny that is coming out soon. Do you guys do research? Are all you guys just simply geniuses? Or does it just smack you in the head like a wet noodle? I've always been curious about that.

What was the financial arrangement between Microsoft and Bungie in regards to profits on the Halo series? In other words, what percent of the profit/production expense was allotted to each company?

How does Bungie view it's relationship with 343I? Is there(or was there at some time) any animosity/competition between the two companies?

Along that same line of thought, does the success of the Halo franchise put more pressure on Bungie to try to outdo Halo?

What does Bungie plan to do to continue growing their fanbase while still appeasing the current fanboys such as myself?

And (most importantly), what did you and the Bungie panel have for lunch today?

I know that Alex Seropian and Jason Jones were members of Phi Delta Theta, but how about the rest of the studio? does Greek blood run deep in Bungie?
