I made a post a few days ago saying i was going to visit Seattle, Washington and mentioned i was going to visit Bungie Studios so here ya go...but anyways Yesterday, i had dinner with my friend i met through Xbox Live Ernest(DontAsk4Recon) and his dad who once worked for Bungie(Sri Jaganatha) and we asked his dad where Bungie was located now, hoping he would know since he used to work for the company and apparently it was in the building right next to the restaurant we were eating at. So after we ate we went searching for the secret headquarters and it was definitely hidden. They put their new HQ in a old theater on the 2nd floor of a shopping center. But me and Ernest took some cool photos and then nicely asked the security guard(which surprisingly wasn't Jerome) if we could step inside to look around the place but were kindly turned down which didn't bother me since i kinda assumed we weren't going to be able to but anyways it definitely made my trip getting to visit my favorite gaming company that i had been dreaming of for years.
PS. I'm the one on the right.

I can't believe you weren't obliterated on perimeter approach at 2000 yards. I heard Jerome's an artist with a SRS-99. He probably wanted to get you with his Gravity Hammer.
-
Lucky, can't wait to visit there one of these days.

Edited by Guru: 7/5/2013 6:51:11 PMSo how did a wall from Bungie taste?
-
You lucky dog
-
Oh, nice trip man ! Your Lucky !
-
You should've kissed Jerome as well.
-
I just found them on google maps, becuase of the info you gave us.
-
Learn how to grammar.
-
Nathan Fillion can get you in.
-
Was the security guard a big black guy? If so you met Jerome, one of the manliest men in human history, and one of my favorite voice actors in Bungie games. :P

Edited by Commander Tempu: 7/4/2013 6:23:04 PMYep V.I.P. Treatment you need to pass into the Kingdom of Bungie. Bungie is a work place not a tourist stop so while the fan in me is sad you did not get to go inside. the security officer in me knows it was the right call unless you some how get connected or have a connection on getting in as you do not talk about the work being done there. 90% of spur of the moment " I am going to see Bungie will be turned away. Unless some how you reach stardom." I personally feel it was a worthy trip as who am i to tell some one who is a fan not to visit sometimes its not the destination it is the journey that makes the experience all the while worth it. I am glad you had a good time Op. Now i need to craft a plan to make Bungie want me to visit them excuse me.*Puts on mad scientist lab coat.* -Bungie loves us all.

That's awesome! :D I know quite a bit about the building because I created the google earth 3D model for it a while back, sadly google has outmoded user created content in cities. :/
-
It's crazy how hidden they are. I guess they don't want people snooping around.
-
Nice. If there was any blockbuster game company to visit, it would be Bungie.
-
I'm pretty Jealous right now. Haha very nice.
-
I don't get why people would just show up there hoping to get in. Imagine some weird guys creeping out in front of where you work. I cringe every time I see one of these threads.
-
I've seen people get tours in the lobby area where the Halo stuff is. I wonder what you have to do to get that.
-
Blurred location name? It's a company, they probably have the address of their headquarters printed on every Reach manual.
-
Cool. Did you ask for Recon?
-
How did that door taste? I assumed you licked it, right? RIGHT?
-
Interesting story. Couldn't help but notice that you used "defiantly" where you probably wanted to use "definitely". Sorry if I sound like a pest, just wanted to clarify you word usage.
-
Jerome hides on his perch, stalking his pray.
-
FYI: It's BUNGIE not Bungie studios.
-
Lucky!

Blame Stosh
