What's on your mind? If you could corner a Bungie guy and ask him one question about working here, what would it be?

Bye.

What's your first thought when you wake up on a work day?
Since you work in the videogame industry, do you find yourself critiquing video games as you play them?
Will bungie be at PAX in any sort of official capacity?
What do you think of this realistic robot that can answer questions?

Key

Second.

We should talk about the future of games' use of non-console elements to improve the gameplay of the game. That may sound vague, so let me give you an example: Say an MMORPG on a console (bear with me) has an in-game marketplace to buy and sell items, and the developer also has (on their website or some game website) an online version of the marketplace that works in real-time with the in-game one and all the other players. And, that developer also has a mobile app that, say, allows you to equip and manage your character on the go and it updates your character in-game (and isn't just a simulator for DPS purposes, etc.).

These kinds of out-of-game, nonessential, yet very useful resources are the kinds of things, I think, could be utilized in the future of gaming. What do you (at Bungie) think?

Note: This probably won't get picked due to its length and most people's (understandable) inability to answer this question in a line or two of text. Oh well. It was a good question to ask.

After watching some of the Halo 3 Legendary Edition content yesterday, I have a question based on that.

Who takes priority, art or design?

If you had to design something other than your current IPs genre, or an FPS, what genre would you design?

Has Bungie started reaching out for Beta Testers already?

Do you enjoy visual Novels?

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.

What is the craziest/silliest thing you have witnessed while working at Bungie?

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

Do you think Bungie is family oriented or goal oriented? For instance, do they encourage employees to spend time with their family or even bring them in to say "wuz up" to everyone? Or do they sub their noses at the though of somone leaving early to catch little Billy's t-ball pratice?

*Edit*
And please leave mine (and everyone elses for that matter) MOM out of the equation. I know she is family, but some times some people need to grow up.

No, you can't have it. But thanks for asking!

Along the lines of synergy and killing babies (ideas), is it ever hard for one department to release something to the next department? Is there a linear flow along the process of creation, or is it more of a spider web, with one thread getting tension that translates across the entire game building process?

Will Jason Jones ever participate in one of these Mail Sacks? If he does ask him this, "Besides kicking back at your desk with your feet up, what is your favorite part of working at Bungie?"
