Subject: Working At Bungie, The Dream.

#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

Although Bungie would be my first choice, I will take any company that would need a concept artist.

Doesn't Dr.Benson have a degree in Psychology?
Posted by: insaneAssass1n9
unless of course Bungie has a place for Psych majors in their company.

He does, but he's user research.

That would still be pretty cool. Unfortunately, their careers page seems to only be filled with technical positions that actually involve working directly on the game its self.

I would prefer Valve. They need someone to help them finish Half Life 3.
Yeah, and you would still have time to get a 4 year degree, and get a few years experience in the industry before getting hired, and you could still be part of HL3 development.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

If I do choose writing as my career, my goal is to apply at Bungie.

Whoo.

Don't set your dreams on a company, set them on a carrer.

A carrer you enjoy mind you, not simply one that aligns with your fandom.


This right here is a bad way to make life decisions, don't take a company you like then try to fit your passions around working for that company, esspecially when you have no idea what working there entails.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

While I would say that I have incredibly high regard for Bungie and if I were offered a job I would accept it without hesitation, I have no real hopes or plans of trying to do so.

Why? Because they're one of the few things left that I still see as having some sort of enigmatic charm. Sure, if I were part of it, it might be fun to be on the team and create awesome stuff. However, It feels like I would lose something else. A sense that somewhere out in the world, a team of people is creating something that I can't imagine, but when it does come out, it will be awesome.

I can't imagine it having the same effect simply because I've never created anything that I could look at without a sense of regret, embarrassment, and disappointment. I can't stop how it could or should have ended up, and how I can do better next time. When I'm presented with something I didn't take part in creating, it doesn't matter what they could have or should have done, because it is what it is. That's not to say I can't be critical of what Bungie does, but even when there is something I would classify as a mistake, I don't feel responsible for it.

In other words, I want to cling to my childish image of Bungie, pure and simple. It's one the few I have left.

I have no talent or whatsoever in game designing. I am creative, but I'm not skilled in actual designin and/or artmaking.

The only talent Bungie could hire me for would be either testing their games and finding malfunctions (because I can game for several hours straight and always immediatly seem to find flaws in any game) or as their personal trainer to burn off those free snacks.

But since Bungie is a game developper, I hardly see myself working there.

First off working at bungie is not my dream job. Unless I moved to America I wouldn't be able to get a job anyway. But if I did then i'd like something in art and design.

  • 03.22.2012 12:09 AM PDT

If I lived in the US, I probably would've already applied.

Hoping to apply there too if they are still hiring.


I am planning on taking as a programmer, as I have coded before. But it was Java, and they probably use C++ or something.

Once upon a time I did, but then reality hit and I moved on. Wouldn't mind working there as a weekend job or something.

I've been wanting to work at Bungie since the Halo CE days. Hoping to get a degree that will eventually land me there.

I'm finishing my CV for Bungie, I just need to finish some animation projects I've got and then just deliver it to them and cross fingers and pray. (even though I'm not a believer) xD

I would hate working there... Just not my thing. I'm a Science major for a reason, I suck with computers, coding, etc.

My dream job is to be a writer working at Bungie. In the meantime, I shall write anyway! :D

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

So you want to work in the video game industry?
