Listen to our podcast and listen to us talk about the latest Bungie news and Halo: Reach updates!

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Now if you have been around here for a few years, or maybe you've been doubling your dose of Bungie employee stalking, you may of just laughed when you read the title.

If you didn't know, Jason Jones is the co-founder and the fearless leader of Bungie. This guy has been cranking out Bungie games for the last 20 years. Maybe you have heard his name thrown around a few times, but you don't know too much about him. Well, neither do we.

He is known for being really secretive. We were lucky enough to see him about a year ago in the "Be Brave, Be Strong" video.

DeeJ has been being pretty awesome lately with the Mail Sacks, coming up with great ideas, and taking suggestions from the community for Mail Sacks. Now I very well could be pushing the envelope for suggesting a Jason Jones Mail Sack, but in return could be the ultimate Mail Sack which would make DeeJ even that much more awesome.

And it wouldn't be too crazy to ask for since Jason Jones has actually done a Q&A before (formally known around these parts as a Mail Sack) for the community. Only problem is that it was 11 years ago.

If DeeJ decides to come in and shoot down the idea (which I can definitely understand), I would like to have something to discuss. I really like the idea of interview based Mail Sacks. I think we've had just about every imaginable question answered by Bungie as a collective unity, and then some. The interview kind of brings out true people of Bungie in a less formal manner than the "Breaking In" articles.

Actually. I think this is a great idea. Hopefully, Deej, will shine a ray of light and grow it into a blossoming new Mail Sack.

I suggested this in the Mail Sack thread, but I imagine DeeJ is more likely to see the idea in a separate thread. I hope that we do get a Mail Sack with the co-founder of Bungie answering questions.

  • 06.23.2012 8:36 AM PDT

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

I like this idea. They should do this.

Yeah same. For about the first 10 Mail Sacks I asked nothing but questions about Jason Jones. At first it was kind of like, "Did Jason Jones have any contributions to the Halo games after Halo 2?".

As those weren't getting answered I started getting less technical with questions like "Is there anything that Jason Jones wants to say about Halo as a whole?". And as none of my questions were getting answered, the last one I said was like "Is there anything that Jason Jones wants to say to the community?"

Looks like Jason Jones is hard to get a hold of. That or DeeJ hates me and my questions.

Yea I don't think this is going to happen. Jason Jones is busy according to the recent mail sack and he's as reclusive as ever. Maybe someday after they announce their new IP.

You know, I honestly did not even read his answer to that question, until I just ctrl+f "Jason". I guess I should start reading the whole Mail Sack rather than skimming through and reading responses to the questions that I'd like to know.

I guess it was a bad time to finally decide to create this thread. Now it kind of looks like I stole the idea from urk.

I would be willing to bet that DeeJ has something up his sleeve for next weeks mail sack. If you notice at the end it reads:

"Come back next week. We'll be putting the band back together for a conversation with a more robust Bungie Panel."

I take that to mean DeeJ is putting together a team of community guys to answer our questions. Maybe Stosh, Lukems, Urk, DeeJ, Jason Jones probably not Frankie since he isn't with Bungie anymore. I think it will be similar to when he did the mail sack with bungie.net related questions with Achronos, runningturtle and sawnose.

Again, no confirmation just speculation :)

This is actually a really awesome idea. I mean, obviously we can't ask him anything Destiny related, but a chance to "speak with" (or, rather, "at") the man behind the veil of secrecy. I personally know next to nothing about him apart from what I saw in the ViDoc, and so would like an opportunity to learn more.

So, DeeJ, if you can manage to be granted an audience with his Majesty, please ask.

You have no idea how revolting I can be.


DeeJ's Challenge

I think this is a great idea! You know what would be even better? Having a panel of people like Jason Jones, Marty O'Donnell, Chris Carney, stosh, and Luke Smith.

Spread the love...

I was getting tired of all the mailsack suggestions, but this is actually an amazing idea. If DeeJ can borrow Jason for a couple minutes to answer our questions that would be awesome. :)

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Yes. A thousand times yes.

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

I'd like to see this, but only if the questions asked are really good questions. Not stupid little joke questions or anything like that. Questions that will give us a sense of who he is, and not an opportunity for more people to beat Blame Stosh to death.

Jason Jones is a sneaky beaver. If DeeJ decides to do this good luck.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Man Jason has been out of the spotlight forever. If DeeJ did this, it would be fantastic.

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.
