The Guardian's Website Has New Clothes

Bungie has dolled up the new home on the interwebs for all things Destiny, as DestinyTheGame is now live, updated, and looking downright gorgeous. Take some time to go and explore, and further whet your appetite for Bungie's brave new world! Xenos has started a discussion on our forums about it if you want like-minded folks to gush with. Check it out!

A Real American Hunter

Hedgem0ny knows how to scour the world wide web for great fanart and fills his Twitter with these lovely images. First up is a modded G.I. Joe action figure that the eight-year-old inside me would love to explore a sandbox with. You can see a couple more views on OrionPax9's forum post about his creation here.

Everything Must Go

DeeJ posted a quick note to the Bungie Blog today - it seems the Bungie Store will temporarily close for renovations in order to prepare the way for a new wave of loot. If you have your eye on something from the store's current stockpile of gear, you should grab it before Midnight (PST) this Friday!

"There Be (Space) Dragons"

Well I'm not sure that exact phrase will be on it , but Bungie's confirmed some form of map in Destiny:

"Planning" could imply just a traditional use of a map, or it could mean interactivity, like customizable waypoints a la ODST. Perhaps more? Go discuss/speculate in our forum.

Broken Promises of a Fallen Captain Roar

The new Bungie Podcast is out and is well worth your auditory investment, as Deej, Urk, and Halcylon talk holiday breaks, winter builds, Deej's memorial, and side-stepping supers with special guests Tyson Green and Lars Bakken, who specialize in making a game you'll want to fall in love with over and over again. It's an awesome listen, so go download it already!

Beautiful Reasons to Haul Uranus Around the Solar System

Bungie art director Christopher Barrett is back with the Game Informer crew breaking down the incredible locations you'll visit around the solar system when you pop Destiny into your disc tray. No word on whether or not GI can be held legally responsible for the damage my drool has now caused my laptop keyboard. Thanks a lot guys. Anyway... GO CHECK IT OUT!

Bungie Requisitions - Shepard's Favorite Store In The Tower

Bungie tweeted that their store's on sale today (20% off everything) - there should still be some time left if you're reading this post, depending on your time zone, of course. There's also a handful of recent additions to the store, especially if your Guardian's thirsty.

Call in the Pod Squad

The Bungie Podcast is back, and with a considerable vengeance! Bless your earholes with the dulcet sound of the Bungie crew talking guns, guns, and more guns. It's been far too long to wait, but it's far to good to miss. Go listen now!

Buckets of Sweat, FNG's, and Indie Shout-outs

The latest Mail Sack is up at bungie.net; get a taste of company culture and hear what the team is playing lately.

(ht: Xenos in the forums.)

Destiny Drawing Board: Duke MK.44

The latest Destiny Drawing Board is up on the Bungie Blog, featuring the Duke MK.44; a trusty piece of iron perfect for new Guardians out to split some wigs.

Taming the Beast

The latest Bungie Mail Sack was opened yesterday, and the goodies poured out as usual - much of the Q&A focused on Germany and Gamescom, but PAX got some love, too. Go give it a read! (And thanks to INSANEdrive, for picking out some interesting bits...)

Here, There, and Everywhere

A few days ago, Bungie rolled out a new update for their Mobile App. Android users have already been hit with it (you now have access to Bungie.Net Forums and Groups), while iOS users will be getting another upgrade soon. Bungie Mobile keeps slowly building - what will it be like when Destiny finally hits?

Personally, I'm imagining Guardians taking selfies in their bathrooms and throwing instagram filters on their photos of the Venus Gardens...but I think I might be wrong.

Sloping the Floor

Xenos pointed out a short article over at Edge that touches on Bungie's desire to counter trolls in Destiny's online interactions. While the piece is low on actual details, there are a few quotes from Chris Butcher that should be interesting to anyone that has rhythmically crouched over a fallen enemy in Halo...

What do YOU fear?

In the last Mail Sack, Bungie challenged its fans to envision their greatest fear and fill a Destiny game space with it. The finalists are now up for your perusal - look 'em over, and vote for your favorite! (The winning entry will earn its creator a free shirt... so pick wisely!)

Bungie.net Community Focus: The Black Garden

The Bungie.net Community Focus this week shines on The Black Garden, a B.net group devoted to writing. Go read the interview with its leader, Colonel Aloki - and help pick a winner in its fiction contest! (Bungie's supplying a pretty nice prize!)

The Mail Sack Awaits

The Mail Sack is now open for questions over on Bungie.net! Apparently tomorrow is Bungie's internal Bungie Day celebration, so perhaps some queries about the festivities are in order. If you have them, now's the time to ask any questions you might have about life on the other side of Jerome's desk!

It's Bungie Week in the Starside Lounge

Grab your favorite pair of ears and subject them to Episode Two of The Starside Lounge. Four members of the DBO admin team set aside their differences to discuss every Bungie fan's most coveted game: Wreckateer. Somewhere between tales of giant slingshots and crumbling castles, the group manages to sneak in a few Destiny-related thoughts about our Chris Butcher interview, Bungie Week, Jason Jones, fan creativity, and of course: SPACE MAGIC!

(In addition to streaming or downloading from our Starside Lounge page, you can also listen on YouTube and subscribe through iTunes!)

They've been spelling it out all along...

Looking back, the connection should have been obvious - but it took Ragashingo to put it together for us. Swing by his forum post to connect the dots between Bungie's Alpha Lupi mini-ARG (which concluded on the day Destiny was revealed) and the upcoming Music of the Spheres symphonic release. Very, very cool stuff!

Visiting the most cheerful challenge finalists

After sifting through the multitude of entries in each image-based Bungie Day challenge, DeeJ has prepared a colorful gallery of finalists for your viewing pleasure. The winners are still being picked by Team Bungie, but in the meantime you can go see what made the first cut!

Oatmeal, Tragedy, Castles, and Cliffhangers

The third and final part of Ryan McCaffrey's interview with Jason Jones is now available over on IGN. Today's discussion covers the lack of replay incentives in Halo, sheds some light on the ill-fated Phoenix project, gives us a few more hints at what we'll be experiencing in Destiny, and ends in a bit of a cliffhanger! If you missed the first and second parts of the interview, be sure to check those out first.

Herr Jones and the Gamble of Bungie

Ryan McCaffrey asks Jason Jones about his 17-point design philosophy, his personal gaming habits, and the biggest gamble of his career in Part Two of IGN's interview with the humble co-founder of Bungie. If you haven't read Part One yet, be sure to start with that. Part Three will conclude the interview tomorrow morning.

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.)

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.)

Wake Up Your Ears

The 5th day of Bungie Week brings us musical tidings from the Bungie Maestros! This new piece, Awakening, was featured at the rotunda theater at the E3 expo a few weeks ago, but now it's available for everyone to enjoy as part of this year's extended Bungie Day celebration. Be sure to give it a listen and then sound off in our forums!

Sweet swag on sale in the store

The Bungie Week festivities are spreading to the Bungie Store with a second salvo of E3 shirts in stock and available for purchase tomorrow. The stylish tees are joined by a trio of Guardian banners and a limited edition lithograph of "The Buried City". (That last item is NOT part of a private loot stream - there are only 150 of them available, but each is signed by the artist, Dorje Bellbrook, and all sales benefit the Child's Play Charity!) If you're looking to save a few credits at the Bungie Store, everything will be on sale for 20% off from July 6th to July 14th!
