As the Destiny Community starts to bloom, we'll be dialing in some of the more notable sites that wink into existence. We begin that feature today, in the only place that makes sense.

I actually thought about this- after Halo.Bungie.Org of course. Wondered what would become of this type of thing.

Thanks, ncsuDuncan. I imagine this place will only get better as more information on Destiny is revealed. How does HBO/DBO handle 'game-nights'? I'd like to play some videogames with the community here once I get home this summer.

HBO members have traditionally held all manner of gaming get-togethers. Halo custom game nights, co-op runs, even LAN parties. Very little of it is "official" in the sense that the site management organizes it, but stick around and I guarantee there will be opportunities.

I look forward to this.

I should've read this before. There was an unofficial HBO customs night that spun off into Community Customs, and we just had our usual weekly set of games. If you're interested you can check there next week.

And reactions like this are EXACTLY what we want you all to feel when you read things like that. I feel pretty comfortable speaking for most of the DBO staff when I say that we want every one of our members to feel like they have a part in what this community is and will continue to become. It's why wonderful stops like this exist on the web.

You could always cut them up really thin. Would that still be unacceptable?
Or maybe always do them Outback-style?
