Okay, Bungie Community. You asked for the spotlight. Don't melt in its rays. Below are questions submitted by the developers who spend as much time wondering about you as you do about them.
[u]Suggested Guidelines[/u]:
Please post in this thread only once. Failure to honor this request will result in forfeiture of your privilege to participate (or worse). I would recommend only answering the questions that really speak to you. Don't force this. I'll be looking for humor or sage wisdom that could benefit us all. And, more than a sentence or two will be heavily edited or ignored completely. No monologing.
Have a ball! Oh, and QUOTE the questions you are answering.
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?
What do you think is missing from video games right now?
Which do you think makes a better e-sport: DOTA, League of Legends, or Starcraft 2? Why?
Top Five MCs? (That stands for Master of Ceremonies, not Master Chief. Please answer in the form of five [b]YouTube links[/b].)
How and when did you first fall in love with Halo?
Which movie would you most like to play as a video game? (please submit your answer in the form of link to an [b]iconic image[/b] from that movie)
Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general?
What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online?
What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year?
If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?
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?

[quote]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?[/quote] Star Wars: Knight of The Old Republic. When I first got a xbox back in the mid 2000's, I was watching my friends play WoW, and liked the idea of character leveling. The plot twists totally blew me away, and I loved the different features reminiscent of the movies. (Familiar planets, choosing dark vs. light side) [quote]Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general? [/quote] Yes, but there is no institution other than the home environment that can change that. I think to bring about the change people desire, you'd have to change the people. I'm, unfortunately, not so sure it can be done. All we can really do in change our own group we interact with; how [i]we[/i] choose to act, and who [i]we[/i] choose to play with. [quote]How and when did you fall in love with Halo?[/quote] When I got my xbox, Halo was the first game I got. I instantly fell in love with everything about Chief; this silent, brave figure who jumps towards whatever comes his way. The music, the level design; it was everything a teenage boy could want in a game at that time. I fell in love with it again when I picked up Halo 3 back in the summer of 2008. My friend got me online with him for a few games, and I've been hooked to it since. [quote]If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be?[/quote] Education is the single best tool we can globally equip people with to bring them out of unfortuitousness situations; be it political change, economic reform or equality, education can singularly change people. [quote]What do you think is missing from video games right now?[/quote] I think a very large majority of the problem is what is there. There is too far large of an emphasis on the online interaction. In a sense, multiplayer interaction is wonderful. On the other hand, too many developers are relying on multiplayer to make their games great. Some games, especially Skyrim for me, changed that. Bethesda brought out a plot driven story which allowed players to become immersed in the world of Skyrim, rather than worrying about how high up on the leader boards they are, and so on. [quote] 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)[/quote] Either [url=http://www.google.ca/url?source=imglanding&ct=img&q=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F8yBt-QK9mY/TPf6N0PFufI/AAAAAAAAABM/ibVGIdGuErk/s1600/Inglorious-Bastards.jpg&sa=X&ei=McZYUNKUAuXLyAH_soHgBQ&ved=0CAkQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNG0_BW7TxWpKs0t2kJwDU2EatdyQg]Inglorious Bastards[/url], which I imagine would be comparable to Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64; very crude, abnormal humor. I'd imagine many, many parents would be offended by it. [Edited on 09.18.2012 12:10 PM PDT]
