What do you think is missing from video games right now?

The difficulty. I enjoy the eye-brow plucking frustration of older games.

Which movie would you most like to play as a video game?

Troll 2

Is there one game (other than Halo) that you can point to that really hooked you and turned you into a gamer? What was it and why?

The Metal Gear Solid series. All of the MGS games are so artful and groundbreaking. They really make you think outside of the box (or in it).

I'd choose the Deathstar. Then I'd get someone to cover that -blam!- exhaust vent.

How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?
When I found that I could fly my Warthog like a kite on a beautiful summer beach day. That grenade glitch in Halo: CE had me and that Warthog soaring through the cliff arc like Michael Jordan in his prime.

Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general?
You can't stop people from being people. Well, you could, but then you'd have billions of lifeless bodies everywhere. That's not very good for business.

If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?
The idea of tolerating what they cannot understand.

How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?


Probably during Halo 3, when I was playing custom games with friends. The campaign was amazing, but there's some type of marvelous satisfaction that comes with kicking back and messing around in Customs.



What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year?

Skyrim. The combination of exploring, fighting, customizing your character, and building your legacy was amazing.

What do you think is missing from video games right now?Originality and innovation. So many games are just rehashed versions of products passed. At this rate, the gaming industry is moving away from producing art, to just producing a product to make money and using the loyalty from fans to make money.
That's my honest opinion.

How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?
It was 2001 when Halo first launched with the Xbox. I was at a friends house and we were playing through the campaign. It was on the second level, 'Halo', when you walk out of the escape pod and then you see it... The sky box, the environment, the Halo Ring... It truly was something special. At that moment I new Halo was something special.
From then on, I have been a Halo fan and a gamer.

If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?Play nice, don't be a jerk.

  • 09.18.2012 3:35 PM PDT

You just lost the game. Now facepalm yourself for clicking this :P

If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?
The ability to think in perspective. With all of the ignorance in society it would be good to have a larger population of people who don't judge people by a simple lifestyle choice.

The zombie apocalypse is upon us. Most of humanity has already fallen to the hordes of flesh-eaters. You have survived because of your ingenuity, cat-like reflexes, and dashing good looks. As you travel in search of food, you find a grizzled old man who offers to give you a powerful weapon. Now is your chance to make a difference in this battle against the undead. You can choose any one weapon, real or fictional. What do you choose and why?

I would have to say that weapon would be a nuclear-like device that would, when detonated, would spread out a chemical that makes it's way into the brain of every human on earth and poisons the cells that have been infected with the virus. If no cells were found, there would be no effect on that person, but they could choose to have a superpower of their choice, as long as it doesn't involve zombies, seeing as how the chemical is inside the atmosphere already and would kill the zombies in an instant.


What do you think is missing from video games right now?

An advanced pod, that when entered, would control your brain in such a way that all senses you have would be transported and controlled by a computer, but you would not have control yourself. The total transformation process would take about 10 seconds, and to get out, you would have an option at the menu of the game you are playing. It would include a 9001TB SSD system to store games, and a processor that can reach clock speeds of over 5.0 teraflops. There would be no need for a graphics processing unit, as your brain would function as such by the computer simulating the nerve pulses that your eye sends out to allow your brain to "see" what you see. Also, it would have a hot pocket dispenser that would never run out, and an endless supply of Dr. Pepper and/or redbull. Oh, did i mention it would be over $200,000,000 and would take up the size of a High School Gym? But imagine it! It's like lucid dreaming on steroids!


How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?

I was at my friend's house and he just got an Xbox for his birthday (2001). He was playing this game called "Halo" that I thought was sort of stupid at first, but then played it for 7 hours straight. He also tried to convince me that he was a beta tester for it, and that his name was in the credits somewhere. Still don't believe him, but to this day, always check the credits when I play it to see if his name is there.


Which movie would you most like to play as a video game? (please submit your answer in the form of link to an iconic image from that movie)

"Alright, who took my god damn cheetos?"


Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general?

I don't know, when was the last time you played a multiplayer game? (yes, I answer whole-heartidly YES)


What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online?

I would have to say that it was when Corridor Digital were having their first GTA 4 LAN party over the internet. I joined but my mic wasn't working, so when I checked windows settings, it then disconnected me from the lobby. Thankfully, one of the people in the lobby was kind enough to re-invite me, and even help me fix my mic. To this day, I still owe him my life.


What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year? Counter Strike: Global Offensive. If playing it hardcore isn't your style, there is a version of gun game that CoD wishes it could be half as good as...


If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?

I would teach them that watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is not just for little girls, and that it is a very good show. Problem?


Is there one game (other than Halo) that you can point to that really hooked you and turned you into a gamer? What was it and why?

I remember playing a multiplayer motorcycle racing game back on the first PlayStation. It was sooo cash. Not much more at that time was more rewarding then running your bro off the side of the road and beating him with a chain as his character just screamed "AAAAUUUUUUGGGG" over and over again. That is the game that made me realize my dream of working at a game studio, more specifically Bungie . Yes, Deej. I did just steal your job of advertizing the career page. What'cha gonna do 'bout it, son?

And that concludes my answer. I hope atleast one gets in the final mail sack. Have a great day! (and Deej, I am still waiting on my check for feeding your animals while you were at work. I even brought my own food and everything!)

I would definetly want a weapon that makes people tell the truth, so I could find out why the grizzled old man would give me a fake weapon.

He wouldn't be expecting that.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Do ships count? If so, the TARDIS, to go back in time and either kill/quarantine the first zombie, or destroy what caused it to begin with. Barring that, the Lightning Bolt spell in Skyrim.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

I was 8 and halo 2 just came out I just got an Xbox for Christmas and i could get any game in Toys R Us and saw master Chief on the cover with his Smgs and I said " That one". I got and I went home and played for the first time. It was beautiful. I've loved halo ever since that day it is my favorite game series, and that will never change.

Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general?


Short, acceptable/ usable answer: If everybody goes out of their way to be the person that says 'good game' and end the bad sportsmanship themselves, the community will become a far better place. I always say good game, and whenever I get it back it's an awesome feeling.


Real answer: Absolutely. Does anybody else remember Bungie's 'Team Mythic' playlist? Some notable community members receive mappacks early and I just happened to know one of these people. Those few days while the mappack was limited were some of the best days of MatchMaking I've ever played. Everybody said good game. Everybody was friendly. Asshats were not welcome because asshats didn't get maps.

This sort of policing online made the community seem amazing and alive. If people were to shut down the folks that make the community seem bad and also make the extra effort to BE one of those good people, the entire community could be like the Team Mythic playlist was. I aspire to be a part of that. It's why I always say good game, it's why everybody else should always say good game, and it's how the community can make itself better.

Mind you it doesn't hurt for developers to provide incentives either!

Tolerance, especially here in the united states. What people seem to forget is that your rights do not extend to how other people live their lives. If it doesn't affect you directly, forget about it.

Well I think The difficulty of games could be a lil bit more challenging. I miss the days of pushing myself to the limit and having braging rights for beating the game on the Hardest difficulty.



How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?

Well I was very young I cant really reacall when it was but I believe I was 7. It was when Halo First came into the world. I did not own a xbox at the time but my older brother did and was being very frustrated at this game. When he had given up I picked up the controller and played it non stop till I came upstairs with bloodshot eyes smiling and told my bother I have finished the game Then proceded to Beg for the game. He finally gave me the game and the xbox when Halo 2 came out.It was Love at first site <3


What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online?
I Was playing with someone online Who is really good and I was doing good but not really good. I was doubting myself when this guy said I could do anything If I try hard enough. So I decided the next game I would go all out. I finished with 30 some kills and no deaths and got my first perfection. There was a guy complaining in game chat and He goes in and says You just got beat by a girl and Everyone just goes quite...I felt so Powerful! and I never doubt myself and now we are really good friends.

I cant remember what game it was but I Loved this game that there was this giant boss that came out of the ground in a graveyard Being made of bone My brother and I could never defeat him till one day I smite the Mighty beast and thus a Gamer was born!

How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?

I remember visiting my cousin for a get together with the family in 2005. I heard of Halo CE and 2 but I really never found it interesting at first. That was until I saw Halo 2 being played by my cousin. I saw Warthogs and Banshees going at it. Rockets were going of in Coagulation; man it was complete chaos. But it was awesome. I played one game after seeing that. Next thing I know, I buy an Xbox with Live and was hooked ever since.

StarCraft 2, it's super amazing game, with a great option to create custom maps and toy with all the units of the game, enemy units, it allows you to create your own story and create several more fun maps, which I think it missed in Halo forge, the ability to use Covenant and UNSC units to create your own custom map, not only to build stuff.

Being able to use characters from the game to make it more interesting.

It's not to say they will, but they oughta crack down on the massive amounts of fighting, arguing, and trollish behavior within the gaming community. This kind of behavior only seems to breed more of it.
