Subject: Meet an Engineer who drives Graphics.

This week, Joe Venzon is breaking in.

His is a crucial role. Bungie can't live without these guys.

An engineer.

(anyone want to know how an electro-hydraulic servo-actuator works?).Yes, yes I do. Graphics? Pah. Systems control, real man's programming!

Free lunches with new employees! That's a great way to meet people and spend some time interacting with co-workers without talking about work.

Sounds like college orientation.

You are all constructs of my solipsist mind.

Looks like a cool fellow.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Welcome, Joe.

Guy went from Boeings to an MMO? I'm not sure if that's a step up or not. They're both pretty awesome jobs.

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

Speaking of the bleeding edge, let's relive the nightmare that we intend to be the Bungie job interview. Which cut was the deepest?

The math! I had taken a lot of math and physics classes in college, but it had been a while, and only the bits I had used recently were fresh in my mind. At one point, I had come up with a solution that involved some matrix multiplication, which I was pretty sure was correct, but the interviewer (Hao!) requested I multiply it all out symbolically to check my math. Half an hour later, the board was filled with writing, and that really ground me down. It was a very long interview in an uncomfortable chair.
This is one of the scarier sounding things of the interviews posted.

Just an average Iowa State University student. Go Cyclones!

As I'm headed to Iowa State University this fall, I've been reading a lot of Breaking In articles recently. They've helped me choose to major in Computer Science and convinced me to start programming some basic games over the summer. Thanks for all the advice!

And a big hello to Joe of course!

If he "drives Graphics," I can't wait to see his car!

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

You're heading to Iowa State? I'm actually heading to Iowa myself next year.

Joe sounds like a great addition to the team, Bungie keeps getting better and better!

Man of God. Fan of Bungie. Eater of many Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers.

Motivational. I'll be writing down that competition he mentioned. I appreciate the interview and its advice.
Thanks, pal.

It's amazing just how incredibly intelligent the engineers at Bungie are. I wonder if having a BS in electrical/computer engineering prepares you more for graphics engineering than a BS in Comp Sci.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

This man sounds very awesome-and important.

ESCAPE VELOCITY!? Man I LOVED that game, still do! I used to write plug-ins for it back in the day. Is it at all possible to get a copy of your clone? That would make me a very happy gamer.

Nice read, interesting that he majored in EE but did a lot of jobs that entail programming.

this sounds scary and terrible.. I dislike math with a passion so this made me cringe when reading it
