It's a new year!

DeeJ stopped by to announce a new Bungie Weekly Update - it's exciting. As he says, it's the best one in weeks! (That's funny because there hasn't been one in weeks. Geddit?) Go read it. It'll remind you how to get into the Beta program, and it'll teach you a little bit about The Director. And some other stuff.) As always, you can read (and search) it locally, as well as on B.net.

Statengate

A few months back Joseph Staten, writer and designer director on Destiny, surprised us with his unexpected departure from Bungie in order “to tackle new creative challenges.” Today, Xbox Studio Manager Mike Ybarra tweeted that Staten is now back at Microsoft serving as Senior Creative Director. Many speculated that this was his return to the Halo franchise, but Polygon reports that Staten isn’t directly involved with the next Halo game.

Joseph is not working directly on the next Halo title. As a senior creative director, he will help create the world's best entertainment on Xbox, as well as help shape our franchise strategy for some Microsoft Studios titles.

(Thanks, Mariachi and marmot 1333. And thanks to Frankie for the title.)

Games has your Destiny Deets

If you're looking for the next info drop, swing by Gamesâ„¢ Magazine - they've got a nice 8-page spread on Destiny in their January 9 issue. There's not a boatload of new info - but it is a nice summary, and the pictures ain't bad at all! (If you're looking to buy a digital copy, and you're not in the UK, you might have trouble with both the Amazon and iTunes options... but Google Play works nicely.)

Breakin' those Eggs

Almost four years ago, NsU Soldier noticed some signage in Halo 3: ODST that he thought might be an easter egg pointing to future Bungie development... but it wasn't until today, in a short piece over at GameInformer, that Bungie's Chris Barrett publicly admitted he was right. Cool stuff!

Friday Fan Fiction

We have three new items today: PerseusSpartacus continues his "Introversion on the Key of D Minor" series, kemachiro released the full-length version of "A Hunter's Journey" (and it's hefty, coming in at novella length), and Gilead contributed a charming story about a girl and her robot.

No news today, but there is always tomorrow...right? 

Starting off the year with a recap

This almost made it to our final post of 2013 - but hey, isn't the first post of 2014 just as good?
