I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Like many other users of this website, I am very interested in taking up a career in the game industry that has to due with [preferably] game design or the writing of wonderful stories. I've been to the career pages many times, regularly reading through the "World Designer" career. Sadly, even though the requirements are all there, I'm having trouble finding the path to make it there. I've scrounged the internet for articles and videos dealing with game design, but I cannot find anything that seems to be in par with what it will take to eventually work for Bungie. Then came the "Breaking In" articles, which got me very excited that I could finally see the path that a designer at Bungie takes, but all of the articles (save O.J.'s) are about the technical side of making games versus the creative side. Maybe we could get interviews from people like Tyson Green (Senior Designer) or maybe an amazing writer like Joseph Staten (if they can fit it into their schedules). So if you guys can get an employee who is on more of the creative side of making games, then I think it would make a lot of the community members happy.

P.S. If this happens, could you include colleges (or other forms of teachings) that you attended to learn your skills? Thank you.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I know for a fact that he is too busy for this kind of stuff. If I remember correctly, DeeJ or some other employee said it.

He hasn't really done an "interview" like a BREAKING IN since Halo CE.

I really want to see how his views on the game industry have changed over the years. Where does he see the future of gaming is going and how can Bungie stay a step ahead?

Hopefully if he has time one day, he will do a interview again. Maybe when Destiny is released.

That would be great! I saw an interview of him once and he talked about how surprised he was that he was semi-famous on the internet lol.

I agree, I would like to see a Breaking In for Jerome.

I thought the point of his job was to stop Break-Ins?

Bad jokes aside, it could be quite interesting.
