He's got an evil smile. That's for sure.

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

Looks interesting... Thanks for that DeeJ.

A little bit of sausage, a little bit of hot sauce, a whole lot of awesome. Have a question? Ask me!

As an aspiring writer first inspired to write by the fiction Bungie created, this was a very nice read - thanks.

  • 05.29.2012 3:07 PM PDT

Spread the love...

Sweet!

You may be special but that doesn't mean you're useful

Am I the only on who thinks he bears a striking resemblance to an albeit younger version of Robert Englund ala' Freddy Kruger? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EFdra4N8xZo/TeVBXcRueFI/AAAAAAACDRQ /V5jpOAfboKk/s1600/Robert+Englund.jpg

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

That was quite an interesting read.

  • 05.29.2012 3:41 PM PDT

I am also studying English at school. But creative writing really isn't my thing. I'm more of a technical guy.

Wow great reading, I'm liking this guy already!

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

Thank you for interviewing a writer DeeJ! I actually appreciate it a lot and was overjoyed to see that it was an interview of a writer!

Anyways, if I sent Bungie a rough draft of a story that I'm writing, what would happen? Oh and when I say rough, it is really rough. It is like sand paper compared to a satin cloth.

We should know better, because we are better.

Great interview. What parts of the fiction did he work on by chance?

This is the only Breaking In thus far that I've actually read due to my aspirations to be a novelist. However, due to the improbability of being a successful author, I'm probably going to end up in TV. Sad, I know.

Good read.

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.

Nice reading about a writer for a change :)
