Cassette Tapes for the Future

Helveck edited together this montage set to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" in the growing excitement for the coming release. Sweet!

Destiny Action Figures

DeDerga let us know that ThreeA, one of the companies who has made Halo Action Figures in the past, just announced 1/6 scale Destiny Action Figures! No details at all so far. I'm personally curious about how customizable they'll be given the nature of Destiny.

Playing Catch-Up

In the last couple of weeks there's a been a handful of articles, interviews, and news that have fallen through Vex time portals here at the DBO offices. Let's remedy that, shall we?

• The International Business Times interviewed urk (Eric Osborne) about multiplayer, how Destiny compares to Halo, and their plans down the road. Thanks to DaDerga.
  
• GameInformer verbally investigated Jonty Barnes and Derek Carroll on topics related to the Beta, like the size of levels and fireteams. Xenos was our man in the field.
  
• Writer Josh Rubin departed Bungie after working on Destiny for Telltale Games' Game of Thrones adaptions.  "And while there’s a true art to 'writing between the bullets' — as Mr. Staten once said — I couldn’t turn down an offer from Telltale, to create games that are entirely about story." Gamasutra reported on this, Cody Miller let us know about it. May his nights not be "dark and full of terrors" as the Red Woman might say.
  
• Forbes posted a speculative article on what Bungie should do with a $500 million budget, if they had one. Thanks goes to Korny.
• And VG24/7 wrote an article about why Bungie should include Matchmaking for their strategic Raids mode.

Whew! Now to stay on top of things for a bit.

Giving Your Hobby Dimension

If you have access to a 3D Printer (still waiting for them to be renamed Replicators, myself), you can print off your own Duke Mk.44 thanks to Kirby Downey at MyMiniFactory. Thanks to Bluerunner for pointing it out.

On a related note, Mid7night came across a host of models you can order at Shapeways by Brickinator99, including armor and weapons, as well as a mini-Ghost for LEGO-sized figures.
