"WE'LL DO IT LIVE!" Today's Mail Sack in Real Time...
Bungie Community,
It's been a crazy week for me. How about you?
"What been crazy about it, DeeJ?"
"Yeah, what are you working on?"
"No kidding. What the hell do you do when you're not locking our threads?"
Man, it would be awesome to be able to answer that. The things I am seeing are making me so excited as a gamer - and as the person that will help introduce this game to you.
The magic being wielded behind the scenes here has been so intensive, that my usual workflow has been... interrupted. Celebrating the Tin Anniversary of Xbox LIVE was also a distraction. However, the mail must be answered.
Thus, I am attacking it inline. As always, I cannot field all of the grounders you hit in my direction, so you're welcome to hit me with alternative interrogatives, if you like. For the next several hours, Bungie.net will be on my primary monitor. I'll have to share this exercise with a few other needful things, but we should (and will) talk.
Ask me (almost) anything.
And, check the posts in the thread for my fingerprints.

Have there been any literary works ([u]The Iliad & the Odyssey[/u], [u]William Wilson[/u], [u]Self-Reliance[/u], etc.) that inspired you either in or out of the work place? [b]DeeJ said:[/b] I am not worthy of this question. Ask again sometime, on a week when I can harass the writers. [Edited on 11.16.2012 1:51 PM PST by DeeJ]

Are they playing Christmas songs on the radio where you are yet? They started dishing out a constant stream of lyrical holly jollies and merry wishes over the airwaves here in Detroit a week ago. I am slowly going insane from it all. How about you? [b]DeeJ said:[/b] I feel your pain, or I can remember it. I used to work in the retail ground zero of Chicago - a stretch of road called the Magnificent Mile. They used to drag out the jingle bells about fifteen minutes after Halloween was done. Madness.

Where does Bungie find and hire their support employees? HR, Insurance consultants, Healthy and Safety experts, etc. [b]DeeJ said:[/b] Aside from HR, I could not find any of those titles on our org chart. [Edited on 11.16.2012 1:43 PM PST by DeeJ]

Ok here is a good question. What were the problems with moving to your new studio? Fights over desk areas? Who claims what room? How the hell do we fit this wall through this door? [b]DeeJ said:[/b] The floorplan here is an evolving thing. We have a completely open environment that lets the awesome flow from one screen to the next. Every desk rolls, and we rearrange the maze several times a year. Your question is invalid. [Edited on 11.16.2012 1:34 PM PST by DeeJ]

How is the next game you are working on? [b]DeeJ said:[/b] Worth the trek west. Worth every snow-capped, death-defying mile. [Edited on 11.16.2012 1:31 PM PST by DeeJ]

How many were going to St Ives? [b]DeeJ said:[/b] If you are referencing that stupid poem you read to me on the park bench, it was just you. I don't like trick questions, defnop. In fact, I hate them. [Edited on 11.16.2012 1:30 PM PST by DeeJ]
