Frank O'Connor, or Frankie, is the content manager for Bungie. He is the primary writer of the Bungie Weekly Update as well as the creator of Mister Chief.

Background

He is originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was born and raised. Growing up Frankie was obsessed with games playing: Pong, 2600, Intellivision, Vectrex, ColecoVision, Sinclair Spectrum, Atari 800, Commodore 64...and so on, 'til Xbox 360 in the present day. He didn't have them all at the same time upgrading when the next generation of systems was released.

He was able to parlay his love of video games into a career working at a number of video game magazines including the Official Xbox Magazine. He then made the jump to Bungie Studios as content manager. Asked about his typical day at the office Frankie told HIH:

I'm content manager, which really means, spare monkey. That means I do everything from writing the manual, helping marketing with materials, running the website and going on trips to incredible places - to shoveling pimp turds out of Marty's recording booth. Seriously. Pimps are way worse than cart horses.

Frankie Facts

For the HGN Frankie did this take on Dutch Artist M. C. Escher's famous drawing

Dutch Artist M. C. Escher's Hand with Reflecting Sphere

Childhood Idol?

Frankie: Billy Idol, naturally. He's not just my idol, he's the world's idol. Rock!

Do you have any pets?

Frankie: An enormous cat. Seriously, 22 pounds of rippling feline blubber. In fact, rippling is his only form of exercise.

Anything else you'd like to tell us about yourself?

Frankie: I am foreign. Like Balky. Or maybe more like Groundskeeper Willie. Also, I have an enormous tattoo of the Scottish flag on my right shoulder, underneath which is inscribed, "Scotland Forever." On account of how stupefyingly awesome Scotland is. Eventually, when the Scottish Empire has finally secured world peace and total domination of the globe, you will appreciate it.
