Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

maybe you already have, but DJ how come we can't get a breaking in, interview with you?

Interesting, I would've never guessed that you were a female specie.


While it's true that I'm in touch with my feminine side, I'm not Brandi. Bungie has more than one researcher.

The unfortunate thing is that most bnetters would need her to post and have a bnet account of her own in order to validate your claims.

So until/unless Ms. House makes her own account and posts, you'll be mistaken for her by everyone who reads only the first page :[

With access to a forum along with the analytics and community thereof like the one we have here, one would think that free user research would not be hard to come by for Bungie.

Would you like to fill out this survey? Please include any relevant repro steps.

Dammit...k Repro steps
Title: DrBunsenHoneydew is a female specie.
Step 1: Went to Http://bungie.net
Step 2: Signed on to Bungie.net
Step 3: Went to the community tab
Step 4: Clicked on Bungie.net Community
Step 5: Looked through threads on the first page
Step 6: Choose a thread and that thread was Meet the User Researcher who will dissect your brain... (Title caught my eye and brain)
Step 7: Posted without reading a thing :/
Step 8: Read the interview
Step 9: Came back to thread to make a better post
Step 10: Read DrBunsenHoneydew's post and associated him/she/shim with Brandi.
Step 11: Made a post about DrBunsenHoneydew's being a female specie.

I'd say the bug started on step 10. I blame DrBunsenhoneydew for not being clearer.

Solution: Terminate DrBunsenHoneydew or show prove that he/she is not Brandi

Summary: The thread was about Brandi. DrBunsenHoneydew comes in here looking all fine and -blam!-, posts something about the picture in Brandi's breaking in, like he (or should I say it?) took the picture. He has a user research avatar and he always answers questions about it so it's obvious that he works with the user research program. My brain immediately associated him with Brandi and from there I made a post about it.

Even more interesting, well I guess the damage is done. A couple hours ago, every time I saw you post I would picture an evil Doctor that would test weird things on his victims/patients. Also during breaks, you would eat honey dew. Now every time I see you post I'll associate you with a female specie.

Another person that I do this with is Jeremiah but I associate him with frankie for some reason.

I found the background of this picture interesting, it seemed very different from the usual Bungie playtest rooms I've seen through photos. I wonder if they're actually playing the game or just filling out a questionaire...


It's actually an old picture from the Halo 3 days in the Microsoft labs, I keep it around because it's the only time I've captured a full designer facepalm on film.
As you can clearly see, not only did Honeydew say that the picture was from the Halo 3 era, but he admitted that he was the one who took that picture!

*Slams Desk for Emphasis*

So how do you expect us to believe that you are completely blameless? Honeydew is clearly not a new hire, and is clearly not Brandi!

Its entertaining to me that all the references you threw out in HFCS went unheeded, yet you get an immediate response here. Septagon = hipper cats than HFCS squares.

OT: Good interview. I think I know what WoW server you're talking about too. I should dust off the old account (and renew the sub, relearn to play cause its been years, transfer servers)and get to ganking.

Let me know if so. I'd happily recruit you if you happen to have Burning Crusade. If you do and I do so you get a week free of gametime, cataclysm for free, and the choice of a free level 80 character of any class, race, or realm with appropriate gear and money, or a free character transfer.

Just sayin.
:P

Edit: Scratch one part of that. Burning Crusade is free and I guess it isn't a requirement these days. Go figure.

I just want my free real life panda. That's what the next expansion is, right? I haven't looked much into it, but my cousin says you get a free panda IRL.

Seriously? That's what the game has come to now?

Why don't they just let you choose your level and gear at the create a character screen? It would be pretty much the same thing.

It's for a single character only, and only if the account was active at some point before a certain date. It's supposed to be incentive to bring back old players that quit the game.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Well, that's not so bad.

Not much of an incentive though, it is really hard to bring back the really old veterans that played vanilla and BC, when we see how far the game has devolved.

First they killed off my beloved 40 man raids, then 25 man raids, I really hope they make some adjustments in MoP, although I doubt it.

I'll probably come back just to level my druid up to 90 or whatever the cap is, and call it a day.

Where do you see a he/him on that statement heh? No where in there does it say that "he" took the picture.

A noob taking noobs for a Newbie lunch? That's unheard of. She talks about it like she's taking the noobs for lunch. She doesn't associate herself with the noobs. Open your eyes man!

They're bringing in world bosses again, meaning giant creatures that roam the continent. Two of them have been announced. Each one will take a 40 man raid to kill, apparently. Best if you don't encounter it randomly I suppose.
:P

Also, yay doctors!
