Mail Call! Fill the sack.
Dear Bungie Community,
This week, the plan was for you to be watching our Winter Pentathlon from virtual stadium seats encircling our office-turned-arena for a day. A nasty storm front for which the majestic Pacific Northwest was not prepared had other plans. You may have heard that our multi-faceted battle royale has been rescheduled to happen next week. And so it shall!
Thus, I have nothing prepared to share with you today. To keep our conversation fresh (I do enjoy it so), I am opening the mail sack. Fill it with your most urgent curiosities. Tell me what is on your mind. I will post as official a statement as I can muster two Friday's from now. Don't forget, this time next week, you are still invited to witness the carnage that we bring upon ourselves. Four Schools. One Cup.
I will take your questions now. Please limit yourselves to only one question apiece. See how many pages you can dog-pile onto this thread before I realize that it has spun out of control and lock it down like a riot in progress.
Ask away,
DeeJ BNG
Ass't to the Community Mgr

I suggest you stop doing certain non melesty things in the bathroom and tell those gnomes to get back on their mechanostryders and piss off

who sent you west Deej???

When the weather gets bad and snows for an entire week, do you guys camp out in the building? Or have [i]y'all[/i] had a campfire in the middle of the parking lot and cooked some s'mores?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mental statistic What's this?[/quote]Well DeeJ here is our (Assistant) Community Manager. He's one of two MAIN links we have between us and Bungie. The other is urk. He's the main community manager (although DeeJ has been doing most of the online community managing recently). This is a weekly(ish) thing that we've started doing recently where, for a day or so, DeeJ makes a thread asking for questions for either himself or any other member of the Bungie staff and then he picks 20odd questions from here and answers them. Either by himself, or supplying an answer from the person its asked to. Hope this helped clear things up.

Do you like midgets as much as I do?

You ask Deej a question, and he may or may not answer it in the Bungie Mail Sack 3.0. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mental statistic What's this?[/quote]

One: Do you (DeeJ or anyone at Bungie who wants to answer this) believe that videogames will ever transcend their image as being purely for entertainment? Do you think there will ever be a culture-changing [i]Jaws[/i], or [i]Citizen Kane[/i] (or pick any other classic movie praised as culture-changing) of videogames? The [I]Halo[/i] trilogy is big and game-changing, but only within gaming circles (don't hurt me). Not very clear.. But I'm hoping someone might know what I mean - Marty? Two: How does a studio make money between games? Surely royalties can't cover everything. Three: Would a studio ever use photographers (points longingly at self) while designing a game? If so, how so? __ If you answer any of these I will love you forever and ever and sent you hearts made out of keyboard characters. [Edited on 01.21.2012 11:40 AM PST]

Dear DeeJ, This isn't a question do much for you as it is for the writers at Bungie. I love free writing, but I am nervous to make it my career. Should I keep it as a hobby and go to school for something else? What does Bungie look for in a writer? If you could answer either of those questions I would be greatful. Thank you, ~Quinton~

"Get hired, get fire" Is this still true?
-
Dear Deej BNG, I have seen you visiting many private chapters, and always asking people about why they keep coming back. Why is this? Is there some kind of FAQ in the works, or are you trying to get some feedback for the webteam? Forever yours, Rollin

What's that smell like?

What is the meaning of life? I've always wondered, and Google ain't giving me any descent answers.

If you awoke at night to find Qbix clad in tight leather on the end of your bed, eating boiled fish, how would you react? The same applies to if it was Stosh, only the fish would be replaced with toast.

What made you start signing your posts? Will the acceptance of community submitted avatars continue after Bungie releases their new IP? Are you guys accepting community made Crimson avatars? What are the odds on getting the Navbar back in the next site update?
