Subject: Mail Sack is open!

Please report to the mail room to drop a question into the Sack. What's on your mind? What would you like to know about the people at Bungie?

The goal is to sustain a light-hearted conversation between Bungie developers and the Bungie Community. The best questions are the ones that let us share a fun moment. Questions that dig into our current project will be passed over. We will talk about that later. Questions that require us to comment on industry controversies - thus sparking a nasty feud between us and other developers that we respect - will be strategically misplaced.

This is a chance for us to share a bit of ourselves with you while we toil away in this self-imposed dark phase. Let's keep the mood light. Shall we? We do so enjoy the weekly exchange.

On April 30th a video was uploaded to the Bungie YouTube channel. It was then made private and removed. May I ask what this video was?

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Are there any comic book fans at Bungie? If so, who's going to see the Avengers at midnight opening?

Is this Mail Sack 16, or are you dropping the incremental number?

Does that count as a question?

You have demonstrated that you can count. Do you really want that to be your question? I know you can do better.

How many posts have been made on the forums in the last 7 days?

What sort of precautions are put into place to ensure info on your current game development doesn't make its way out of the studio? Are all employees trustworthy enough to keep the secrets?

Your confidence in me is touching, but unfounded.

Does anybody at Bungie have MONSTER feet? I wear 12 wides and everybody says my feet are huge.

I know the people at Bungie are some pretty freaky ass things. Can you confirm?

  • 04.30.2012 11:01 AM PDT

Bungie used to have Grant-A-Wish people come into the studio for some games. Since moving into the new studio, has Bungie let any such people behind the curtain, or at least past Jerome?

I'm not too picky if my question gets answered. The ones I wanted answered are apparently no good so I've dropped them for now. But... it'd be swell to get some more information about, say, funny incidents that have happened in the studio, or things Marty does/plans, or some bits of development for past games that could be shared. It'd be pretty swell.

So Bungie team, if you all had a hotdog eating contest, who would win?

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.

What is the one good thing and one bad thing everyone in Bungie has in common?

Is the only quality question posted so far, perhaps my thoughts are actually in the minority. If so, carry on.

Ooh! I have one, maybe.

Do you still occasionally use people from within your ranks for voice acting? Are there people who want to try to use their voice for a given game, but aren't allowed to?

  • 04.30.2012 11:08 AM PDT

Oooo Adding to Cavx's question...

Tell Marty to put Jerome in again! He's an amazing voice actor! I loved him in ODST he was my favorite voiced character to be honest.

And this isn't a question. It's a statement. Because letters in the mail don't all ask questions- someone has to make statements too!
:P

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

What's the current status on the slingshot? Will this slingshot launch individuals or a container of sorts? Also, is it a traditional tension-powered device or have you guys considered centripetal force, like something that would spin an object around until it reaches escape velocity?

Has the studio ever ran out of coffee? And if so, what was the death toll?

@Vinyl_Hb

I live 15 minutes away from Bungie Studios in Kirkland. If i were to show up unannounced, what kind of treatment would I receive?

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

Do you really love me?

  • 04.30.2012 11:21 AM PDT

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

If Bungie managed to acquire some military grade bacon, what would you do with it?
