What's the most surprising place you've found inspiration for your games?


I once designed an entire matchmaking system based on the classic "I cut the cake, you choose the first piece" method of dividing something fairly.
How did that work? Did one side pair gametypes and maps with each other, and the other side chose one of the pairs? Fact or Fiction style?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

How much Eggnog do you drink during winter time?

You know how I said that If Halo 4 is not shipped to me by the time of this mail sack, it would be the worst ever? Halo 4 arrived just 30 minutes before the mail sack went up. Are you some magical genie or something?

I <3 you too Bungie

If you had to choose between wearing an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini at work for 10 minutes or crocs for a year, which would you choose, and why?

Is anyone keeping track of the damage this dark period is doing to our brains?


That's my job. Given the quality of the questions that still pour from the Sack, your cognitive abilities will survive until reveal.

How does Bungie feel about Halo 4? Did any of you play it?


I am officially never answering this question again.

Now that the Halo universe is under new management, with whom does the ever fabled Halo Story Bible lie?


Uhmmmm... The new management?

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

DeeJ, my question has never been answered on a mail sack and you never respond to my challenges. So I'll ask it again. Why haven't you played me yet in Halo 4?

Hey! My name is Brody. I am currently going to school to become a video game designer(life dream). One of our assignments this term is to get an interview with someone in the field that we desire. So I am looking for a video game tester, or designer, who could answer these questions for me. I'm very eager to learn more for myself as well. Thanks for all your help.

QUESTIONS:
What training and education did you have that lead you to this career?

What other "paying your dues" positions did you hold?

How would you suggest that someone break into this field?

What is a typical entry level salary? are they any benefits?

What graphic arts skills are essential to being successful in this field?

What other skills or qualifications would help you get started?

What do you do all day, everyday?

What do you enjoy most about your work?

What produces the most stress?

Where do you see yourself going from here?

Do you work independently or as part of a team?

How do you get clients?


P.S. Bungie is #1. You guys make some of the best games, but more importantly, you guys care about your fans. I hope to work for Bungie some day.


Slow down now! Pull up a chair. Have a long read.

Awwh DeeJ, your so cute :)


Something like it, if not something exactly like it. You'll get news. There will come a time when you'll be demanding that I just shut up and let you play.

Do you ever feel like you're running out of ideas after all these mailsacks?


The Mail Sack is perfectly sustainable. As long as you have questions about what happens at Bungie, there will be a conversation to be had.

I posted this in the "Worst Mailsack Ever" thread...but now the mail sack is live....so i'll need to re-post my question.

In big game studios, such as Bungie, there are multiple teams working on each little part of a game that comes together to make something awesome. My question is this....how are all of these parts of a game properly combined by each team to make the complete game?
