Is Jason Jones working in the new universe? I don't think this will expose anything important related to Destiny.

its been a month and I still haven't gotten my birthday call. :( why is that?

Do you guys have an employee of the month? where they must go through tough challenges to be worthy of the title or do you treat all employees as equals?

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

This is a long question related to Artificial Intelligence (AI): Regarding your next game, are you guys at bungie going to be publishing papers on the details of the methods used in constructing your AI? If so, are you going to publish them before the game is released, as the game is released, or after the game is released? Has there been a significant overhaul from Halo Reach to your next game?
Regarding the specifics of your AI: Does it uses features like (pardon me for using terms from the cognitive AI field as that's what I work in a bit :P ) episodic memory (otherwise known as long term thought and situation memory) and semantic memory (otherwise known as long term memory for facts and knowledge like types of enemies in a specialized area which is very fast to access) in some form? Is the next game AI going to use some form of reinforcement learning of "chunking" to reference a Soar term (umich.edu Soar). To explain chunking: Soar uses states and "substates" and chunking is when it develops rules for knowledge gained from reasoning in the "substate" (I put quotes around "substate" because it's really a super-state because it has a link to the top state and the top state doesn't to the substates). Also, is your next generation AI going to just be a per enemy basis? As in, will each enemy be their own independent AI or will there be a macromanager for the enemies or a hybrid between both? Us humans use a hybrid when we fight in wars and so on, so I'd be curious to know how bungie will be handling that in their next game. My impression from Halo was that each AI was unique but used some limited forms of communication between the AIs around them and then a "macromanager" of sorts with preplanned patrols and routes with triggers for sending more AI in. Is that accurate?

This is a long one, DeeJ, but please don't dismiss it immediately and redirect me to the Jobs page. If you think it's too long or too personal, you could send me the replies as a PM... Just trim as necessary.


I'm a 2nd year (of 5, Master's included) Electronics Engineering student.
Aside from the Maths and the Physics, my course aims at teaching us to be Engineers, ie, to get -blam!- done and done right. But it's Electronics, not Computer Science, which means we don't have many programming classes, so I'm enrolling in the CS Prog classes that I can fit in my schedule.

I chose EE instead of CS because I hate the idea of being yet another code monkey writing Java 24/7 or writing cute little "apps" for the latest botnet OS (and also because of Dave's EEVBlog). Don't get me wrong, I love programming, but being a typist is not enough for me, I want to engineer!

Now, I would love to be part of something like Bungie (or Valve). The people, the spirit, the workplace, the work, it all seems absolutely fantastic. My question is: what can an Electronics Engineer (with added focus on Telecommunications, according to the actual name of the course) do for a company like Bungie? I don't know what you're doing, so it's not like I can say "hey guys, I'd like to help on making that VR thing". Also, I read posts like that and I'm like "how can I even compete with people with such experience that seems to have fallen in their hands like magic? I'm not even from the USA, so I can't go to E3 and meet Bungie employees and show them how much of a nice guy I am!"

What should I do while I'm at Uni to be worthy of an interview when I finish my course? I will fly there for one. I may sound like I just want to work with you because I think it's prestigious or something. Not at all, I want to be part of a great team working on great projects (this sounds even more pretentious...), I just don't know what I need to learn and what I need to do to be valuable to you!

To the writers: I enjoy writing, a lot. I have a lot of cool ideas for a story but I have trouble figuring out which one to choose and more importantly I have trouble figuring out how to start a story. I know it needs a beginning, a conflict, a series of events, a climax, and a resolution but I have trouble planning it all. For me, it's different than writing an essay or something. How do I plan a story out and where do I start?
