Reverse Mail Sack.

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? [Edited on 09.18.2012 9:40 AM PDT]

[/quote] 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. [quote] What do you think is missing from video games right now? [/quote] 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! [quote] How and when did you first fall in love with Halo? [/quote] 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. [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] [url=http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/070622/070622_gibson_hmed_5p.grid-6x2.jpg]"Alright, who took my god damn cheetos?" [/url] [quote] Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general? [/quote] I don't know, when was the last time you played a multiplayer game? (yes, I answer whole-heartidly YES) [quote] What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online? [/quote] I would have to say that it was when [url=http://www.youtube.com/corridordigital] Corridor Digital [/url]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. [quote] What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year? [/quote] 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... [quote] If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be? [/quote] 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? [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] 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 [url=http://www.bungie.net/inside/content_viewer.aspx?link=about_careers] Bungie [/url]. 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!) [Edited on 09.18.2012 3:44 PM PDT]
