Re: I'm Selling Out

In Response To: I'm Selling Out (KP)

: Last year at Louis Wu's birthday party, we had a random discussion about
: where I'd be without HBO and essentially Louis Wu. We made our respective
: sarcastic remarks and moved on but it was something that I actually began
: to contemplate on the ride back. I came to a few conclusions: Without HBO
: I would never have gone to that first LAN and experienced Halo multiplayer
: the way it was meant to be played. That LAN was a monumental experience,
: in the coming months I'd start visiting halo.bungie.org and become more
: engrossed in the game than ever. For better or for worse, this single
: event pretty much started me down the path to geekdom.

: Without HBO I would never have been able to make that harrowing drive into
: New York City to stay at Miguel's house so we could play competitively and
: get beaten badly by some 12 year olds, a foreshadowing of Halo 2. The
: trip(s) were a pretty new experience for me and got me into the whole
: comradery thing that exists in this community.

: Without hanging around HBO's forums I'm confident that I'd have a much
: smaller vocabulary and a lot less respect for the ideals that we've all
: come to know as the standard operating procedures of bungie.org. It's
: these ideals which have, on the whole, made successful my foray into
: supporting the community via irc.bungie.org, an experience all its own.

: Without HBO, I would never be out here in LA having an awesome time both
: tonight at Dean's LAN and yesterday at E3 and hanging out with the Bungie
: crew.

: Most importantly, without HBO I'd be getting on a plane for Hartford today
: and going home. However, I'm heading up to Seattle to start a new job at
: Bungie to fill the contract writing position.

: I can hardly begin to thank Claude for the amount of times he's helped me out
: of various predicaments or for the millions of bytes of random
: conversation he's, well, absorbed over the years. I really do owe him more
: than I can ever begin to describe given the character limit in this field,
: he's such an awesome friend.

: I also need to thank Miguel, who's been there the whole way, offering his
: home and brutally honest advice to a teenager he barely knew. He's one of
: the people that motivates me and others to make it to event after event.
: Both he and Claude have definitely been role models in a way over the
: recent years and they've been a very big part of my life.

: As for the Bungie gig, as I said, I'll be filling the Bungie.net content
: creation position. That means I'll assume many of the duties that you're
: used to seeing Frankie tackle. You'll still see him in them, though my
: presence is largely to lighten his load and free him up to do all of the
: cool stuff that he's involved in outside the realm of Bungie.net. I am a
: contracted employee, which basically means I have a contract to work there
: for nine months. That doesn't necessarily mean I get all the way to nine
: nor does it mean that after nine months I'll be back in Connecticut.

: Where my current roles within the Bungie.org community are concerned, they
: won't be changing. IBO will not be dissolved nor will I be any less
: prevalent therein, ksry. I don't imagine that I'll spend any less time on
: the forums than I do now (not that that's been much at all, lately). If
: anything I should have more time to dedicate to both. I do not suspect
: that my attitude will be changing; I won't become (more) condescending,
: (more of) a dick or anything like that.

: That's all I can really say about this right now because that's all that I
: know. I really look forward to this, needless to say it's a step above
: RadioShack and it's going to be an experience of a lifetime.

: I also realize that this post is entirely out of character, or at least the
: character that you're all used to. I should probably throw in some idle
: threats or some sort of angry, cynical, sarcastic remarks just to meet the
: quota, but really I just can't bring myself to at the moment. That said,
: if this one sentimental post is used as ammunition against me in the
: future, I will destroy you and everything that you love.

: KP

I'm really late on this, but KP, way to go man. Go out there and have some fun.

Oh, and get some work done too.
