Coming Soon - Conversation With Creators

Playstation is kicking off a new series of interviews, called 'Conversations with Creators'. They look to be roundtable discussions with Wil Wheaton as the moderator. Episode 1 will feature Bungie, with Jason Jones, Luke Smith, Ryan Ellis, and Jason Sussman participating. It airs on July 7, and the official page has just a Wheaton-hosted promo... but Facebook has a 90-second excerpt from the interview itself - this looks to be fantastic!

Exotic Sparrows - They're Sweeping the Solar System

This thread introduced me to a really cool group of crazy people at reddit - folks who created hybrid sparrows based on weapons. I want ALL of these. I'm not positive there aren't more, but here's what I've been able to find:

• Things started off with BoldAdaptation's Sparrowhorn (Gjallarhorn).
• SithCorgi followed up with a Sparrowmoon and a Dragon (Hawkmoon and Dragon's Breath), then a Thunderbird (Thunderlord) and a Foul Language (Invective). You can find a full album on Imgur.
• saltshaker911 put together a Sparrow Regime (Suros Regime), an Ass Breaker and Quick Death (Icebreaker and Red Death), and then more recently Queenbreaker's Sparrow (Queenbreaker's Bow) and the latest pair, The Last Sparrow and Lord of Sparrows (The Last Word and Lord of Wolves). A full album is available on Imgur.
• DBMgamer posted Nix Dixon's SparrowClast (Vex Mythoclast), from the Google Plus community.
• Marteaknee put together SuperFastAdvice (Super Good Advice).
• schnuck showed off his Thunderthorn (Thorn).

I love each and every one of these. The creativity of the community thrills me. See them all in the gallery below!

Rethinking the Companion App

Over at Polygon, a Facebook product designer decided to take a look at the Destiny Companion App, with an eye to improving its usefulness to the average fan. Some of the ideas are really good! Go take a look. Thanks, red robber.

Managing Your Inventory

Funkmon dove into three popular inventory management systems created by fans (and running outside the game) to show you the pros and cons of each, and help you streamline your gear management in Destiny. It's a fantastic read - check it out!

Drink To Win

Last week, Ctrl+Alt+Del took at look at the Red Bull/Destiny situation... and I laughed. Sometimes, it's something you just didn't think of! Thanks, Xenos.

The Destiny Taken King Pricing Controversy Song

There's been a lot of response to the Eurogamer Luke Smith interview at E3, both from fans and from Bungie themselves - we've covered a bunch of that. Paul Thrall put up a fun song, though, set to Jessie J's 'Price Tag', and it's hilarious. Whichever side you find yourself on (Luke was misunderstood, Luke is a horrible person), smiling makes everything better. Thanks, UnrealCh13f.

Let's Play Destiny Co-op #62 Skoriks Archon-Slayer

Narcogen let us know last week that Rampancy's Let's Play Destiny jumped into a House of Wolves mini-mission - Skoriks Archon-Slayer. Go watch!

A pair of interviews you may have missed

I've been pretty sick for a week, so I've missed a bunch of news. I'll leave out the transient stuff (you either saw it when it came through, or you won't really care about it), but here's a couple of interviews you might find interesting, from E3: PlaystationLifeStyle.net talked to Luke Smith (minimal controversy!), and Game's Princess talked to Mark Noseworthy (summary of TTK). Go watch!
