How did you find your way to becoming a part of Bungie?

Can I single out Dave Mongan:

If you had to create a TV sitcom with characters based on the archetypes of four Bungie employees, which employees would you choose to base these characters on? What would the show be called?

You're the head coach of a sports team that you have, through montages of training, brought from a fumbling bunch of novices to the state championships. What do you say to motivate these people to victory?

Which of my photos is your favorite?

What would happen if I filled out and sent you this?


What kind of technical writing do you do? If I'm a writer who isn't all that good with creative writing and doesn't have experience coding or any specialized computer knowledge, but can do in-depth research and write about technical stuff all day, where would I fit in at Bungie (if at all)?

What is the most controversial thing at Bungie right now?

What kind of pre-order bonuses do Bungie folks prefer to get from games they buy, physical objects or digital?


In case you are keeping score at home, this is just the sort of probing question whose time has not come.
Yeah... I worded it poorly in the hopes of being first. But I think just posting 'first' is stupid so... yeah, hah.

I'll ask what I really meant:

What makes you want to buy a higher 'edition' of a game more, physical or digital content?

As in, what do game developers view as incentive for buying rival company limited edition games? For instance, Halo: Reach's was substantial and physical. That made me want it. I think I'll get Assassin's Creed too. Halo 4's is worth it to me for the mappacks, but it just isn't as appealing to me as something I can actually have.

Not asking about Bungie plans or anything. Just personal preferences of game developers.

If you had to thank one person for where you are today who would it be and why?

And yes, I realize it is an easy 'your mom' set up. (I'm looking at you Scott Kankelborg)

Do you think the popularity of the first person shooter genre hinders innovation in the gaming industry?

I'm sure this has been answered already but how did you come up with the name 'Bungie' for a company?

Are graphics an important part to Bungie, when it comes to making games?

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.

As we made history this week during the Mars Curiosity Landing, the guys over at NASA have a tradition of eating peanuts for good luck. When Bungie Employees are crunching at work and need some good luck, what do you guys eat?

What do you do to keep you from getting bored at work? Is it a prank you do to someone else or is it as simple as a a toy on your desk?

Birthing the industries next big game obviously takes time, what is the longest amount of time you have spent inside the studio without going home?
