Seven challenges. Seven prizes.

Bungie Day is here, heralding the midpoint of Bungie Week, and with it comes a handful of short-fuse contests on the Bungie.net forum. Time is short - the deadline for submissions is TODAY. (Presumably midnight Pacific time, though you might be able to squeak by with an overnight entry.) Submissions will be judged by DeeJ's fellow employees, and each winner will receive a Destiny poster signed by Team Bungie. There are seven contests to enter, so visit the threads below for details on how to craft something legendary for each one:

• Design your own hero to play Destiny.
• Design a logo for Bungie Day 2013.
• Tell us why you want to play Destiny.
• Conjure up the unlikeliest of Bungie spokespersons.
• Add a Destiny Fireteam to a historic battle.
• Submit an image that says "Space Magic" to you.
• Write a short story about your favorite moment playing a Bungie game with your friends.

If you were hoping for more on Bungie Day Actual, keep in mind that this year the festivities have been stretched to fill an entire Bungie Week:

Though today may be Bungie Day in the traditional sense, the event will continue beyond the Se7enth. And that is the Tru7h. Our celebration continues tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.

Comforting words from Bungie.net! (Thanks, MrPadraig08.)

Bungie Day Exo Titan

Dezarath whipped up an Exo Titan for Bungie Day - go check it out!

A unicorn setting mythology straight.

Bungie Week is in full stride, and IGN's Ryan McCaffrey has joined the celebration with Part One of his three-part interview with mythic Bungie co-founder Jason Jones. (Parts Two and Three will go live on Monday and Tuesday, so be sure to check back then for more of the story.) The article is a fascinating read, touching on Jason's role in the day-to-day operation of his growing company and how he approaches the design of a project as ambitious as Destiny. Discussion briefly moves to the legendary story of the Halo CE pistol and how Jason added some last-minute code to turn it into the deadly handcannon we love and fear. Blam! (Thanks, marmot 1333.)
