Speaking of story, I see Bungie is looking for a writer. I think they'd do well to hire someone passionate about this story... like one of us!
Say, I have a degree in Journalism. Think I should apply?
[spoiler]Bungie is looking for a writer to help expand the Destiny universe. We need a scribe to work with various design disciplines to bring the Destiny experience to life through the many storytelling channels the game offers. This will include everything from the fiction that drives the sandbox experiences to the world-building that makes them feel real.
You’ll be called upon to work closely with numerous teams across the studio to apply fiction, naming conventions, and dialog for various design features. You’ll also contribute to a variety of content beyond the game to be featured on the Destiny Companion. The ideal candidate should feel comfortable working inside our firmly established tone and style, but there is still plenty of room for creativity. Above all, we’re looking for someone with a grand passion for storytelling in games and proven chops in the science fiction and fantasy genres to help make our world feel awesome.
Estimated Duration: Long term, project (duration may be shortened or lengthened based on business needs).

Why not? It can't hurt to try. Although you'd probably have to move to Washington. (That's probably in the job description, but I didn't read it all)
