Overview of PlayStation Exclusives

I don't think we've posted it to the front page yet, so if you're still in the dark on PS exclusives for the Taken King, you can see a full overview of it all here. Thanks Car15 and Korny.

Trials of Osiris - Flawless Victory

CruelLEGACY sent us a compilation vid he made. I'll just let him introduce it: "Week 5 features the Thieves' Den map. Being a relatively new map, a lot of players are still getting a feel for its specific ins and outs. Players looking to jump in to Trials this weekend might find this video helpful for learning their way around the map." Maybe someday I'll see that Lighthouse...

When every enemy is broken...

Taken King Mobile Wallpapers

If you haven't already seen them, Bungie has released some nifty mobile wallpapers featuring the new Taken King subclasses on their Facebook. Grab 'em!

Taken King Information at E3

Many sites have videos and/or articles about Destiny: The Taken King, and I've been doing my best to keep up! Here are a few of my favorites so far:

IGN - Multiplayer footage of Rift, Destiny's new Objective based multiplayer mode (look at all those new weapons!), along with DeeJ discussing the game with Destin from IGN. Also revealed Playstation exclusives will be available for Xbox, and the fact that you can skip cutscenes when Taken King drops. (Thanks iconicbanana)

Kotaku - Information about the first campaign mission that press got to play behind closed doors. (Thanks INSANEdrive)

Reddit - SonOfSeath on Reddit put together graphics of what the new upgrade trees for each subclass looks like (right now). 

There's a lot of other interviews out there, pretty much go check any video game news site and you'll find someone talking to a Bungie employee!

Vault of Farce: Too Hard Mode

A thread started in our forum asked an interesting question regarding Oryx's motives in The Taken King. Stuntmutt delivers the answer eloquently.

Taken King Vidoc - No Legend is Safe

Bungie has posted a Vidoc about The Taken King on Youtube, go watch it!

Interview With Luke Smith and Eric Osborne + New Footage

Youtube's E3 Experience has been going on all day, and after the Playstation press conference Geoff Keighley interviewed Urk and Luke Smith, along with the interview they sprinkled in some new clips from Destiny! SoMxStation on Youtube managed to grab it for us, watch it below!

Taken King Page and Special Edition Details on Bungie.Net

Bungie tweeted about their new page dishing out some info on the freshly-announced The Taken King expansion and the Legendary Edition (think Game of the Year compilation), not to mention a special Collector's Edition including lots of physical goodies as seen below. Avateur started a thread on it in our forum.

Taken King Trailer

In case you didn't realize, E3 is this week. And at Sony's press conference they showed us the Destiny Trailer. See it below to see all the new little details you can find!

Guardian Radio Tackles HoW Lore

Over on the Guardian Radio Podcast, Byf has kicked off a fascinating series of segments focused on the House of Wolves lore, as laid out in the Grimoire cards and in the game. If you've found the cards hard to dig into... this is for you. (If you love the cards, this is for you, too.) Go listen! Thanks to Vortech for pointing this out (and linking to the exact start of the segment in the recent 'cast).

The Nature of the Exo

Over at reddit, Fuzzoff looked carefully at the Grimoire cards for clues about the Exo Stranger (and Exos in general), and came up with some fascinating speculation. Totally worth your time to read. (There is a lot of discussion on our own forum, after CruelLEGACEY kicked off a thread.)

Mars, over Time

CruelLEGACEY was inspired by the timelapse video moreuse posted of Destiny's depiction of Earth... and tried a couple of series on Mars. Gorgeous! (He's planning on polishing the technique - these are just tests.) iconicbanana turned one into a GifV, for your enjoyment.

(Lack of) Safety Dance

Quick catchup on some news from the past few days - headed off to LA in the early morning, for E3. Let's see... first up is a video that Bungie tweeted about - what happens when the game traps you in the arena with Skolas... before the big fight actually happens? Why, you dance, of course. Beautiful. (Thanks, CruelLEGACEY.)

Like a Ninja

Stuntmutt dazzles with another Vault of Farce!

Hawt.

TDSpiral posted a picture of his Titan to Facebook. It's glorious. (I only wish mine looked so cool.) While you're there, check out the rest of his work - the man's got some serious talent.

Legendary

Today's Penny Arcade is, once again, Destiny-related. And again, they've been spying on me, because I feel like I said all of this stuff last night. Two thumbs up. (Except for the spying. That's creepy.)

The Ishtar Collective

Over on the Destiny subreddit, lordbiro decided that the Grimoire cards needed to be reorganized... and his solution, The Ishtar Collective, is fantastic. Instead of reading them individually, you can read them by subject. Curious about the backstory of Toland the Shattered? There are more than a dozen cards (and another dozen item descriptions) that reference him - and you can find them all in one place. There's even a search function if you can't remember what you're looking for, but a word or phrase sticks in your head. Thanks to INSANEdrive for the heads-up... this is a rabbit hole you can get really lost in.

Timelapse Earth Views

moreuse on YouTube took some time to smell the roses - and watch the clouds roll in. And film it all so you could enjoy it, too. Beautiful! Thanks, iconicbanana.

The Gun You Love to Hate

Do you hate Thorn? You're not alone - Kotaku posted an entire article about about overpowered this hand cannon is... and how much they actually want one. (I mean... it may be overpowered, but we should all have a chance to use overpowered, right?) Revenant1988 linked it in our forum, and it touched off a lively discussion; give it a read, and see if you've got anything to add!

Ready Up Live Podcast 28

Catching up a little bit... CruelLEGACEY let us know late last week that the most recent ReadyUpLive podcast spends some time talking about the Trials of Osiris. (It also spends some time talking about Halo 3: ODST - so don't just skip to the Destiny section...)

Sitting in Judgement

Stuntmutt's been spying on my gaming sessions again...

Hedge Is Famous

B.org's very own Hedgem0ny gets the spotlight in the latest Community Focus feature over on Bungie.net. Hedge has been busy finding and retweeting Destiny-themed artwork over on Twitter (not to mention making some of his own!) since before the game shipped last Fall, and DeeJ grills him for the details about "community art curation." Go check out the interview! (Thanks, bluerunner).

Destiny Update 1.2.0.2

What is Bungie showing at E3?

Tech Times is speculating that when Bungie shows up at E3 in two weeks, it'll be to show off the next Expansion Pack for Destiny. Information about this so far is sketchy, and based on unofficial sources... but hey - E3 Press Conferences kick off in 14 days!
