Today's Ctrl-Alt-Del comic takes an amusing look at the dangers of mobile integration. Check it out!

'Make a game as good as that.'

Marty O'Donnell shared some fascinating tidbits with the press about the music he and Mike Salvatori created with the help of Paul McCartney last year. Head over to Polygon for a summary of the talk. (For what it's worth, the quote that the title for this newspost came from was not Marty's - it was Mike's.)

Bungie.net Avatar Art

I missed this earlier, but it looks like the updated Bungie.net has even more new art in the form of Group Avatars, Group Themes, and User Avatars. Looking good! (Thanks, Karl2177)

Plus, you get access to the meat cabinet.

The Breaking-In series at Bungie has a new entry - Joe Cross is a Senior Concept Artist at Bungie, and the banter between Joe and Deej will give you a sense of what it's like to be creating assets for a new property like Destiny. (And I can finally feel less guilty for posting off-topic Bungie news on HBO - it's totally relevant and on-topic here!) Thanks, Beorn.

Community Coverage

If you're hungry for links while while we're catching up here at DBO, be sure to check out Forward Unto Dawn's Destiny Reveal Hub. Looks like The Halo Council has a news roundup page as well!

Straight from the source.

In addition to today's ViDoc, Bungie has released a wealth of new Destiny content at various official pages:

• DestinyTheGame.com has launched and provides links to a concept art gallery as well as a place where you can preorder the game (Xbox 360 and PS3).
• The Bungie Store has been updated, though currently you might have an easier time finding the new stuff on Amazon. New shirts, posters, decals, and a very limited edition lithograph!
• Bungie.net has a new media page with more concept art.
• The ARG from the past week has concluded and the reward is ample: a new page provides a number of beautiful desktops and a jaw-dropping taste of the Destiny soundtrack.

Enjoy!

Welcome to DBO!

Today is pretty hectic, but I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to Destiny.Bungie.Org! These are exciting times for every Bungie fan and I personally look forward seeing a new community assemble as we wait for Destiny's release together. Claude has been working hard, pulling long hours to get DBO up and running. The site is coming in a little hot, so don't be surprised if certain features are missing or acting a bit buggy. Feel free to leave feedback and bug reports in this thread on the forum. When you have a spare moment between repeat viewings of the latest ViDoc, be sure to check out the DBO "About" page. The team will surely grow and change over the years, but we will always do our best to keep the DBO community strong.
