We love you guys.

As the last year without Destiny comes to a close, we here at DBO would like to wish you all a very happy holiday season, and more specifically a merry Christmas tomorrow. Bungie's holiday card does a great job of summing up our excitement for the coming adventures!

The Big Decisions

"We don't want to be constrained. We just want to make awesome stuff."

Technical Art Director Ryan Ellis gave an interview to Game Informer in which he describes the growth of the team (and the evolution of the gameplay - did you know Destiny started as a third person shooter?). Go give it a watch! Thanks, Xenos.

And to all, a good... something

It was a couple of days ago, but during this holiday season you owe it to yourself to enjoy fun game-related poetry. Duncan posted 'Happy Holidays, DBO' on our forum, and a reading will allow you to prepare for the upcoming year of release with the right attitude. Maybe have a spiked glass of eggnog by your side!

Bungie Goes Bravely into the Dark

Bungie's latest Weekly Update closes out the year for the studio, signalling the start of a long-awaited and hard-earned rest for the creators of the Traveller's brave new world. DeeJ drops details about the Winter Build and a company-wide playtest to show off all the shiniest new bits.  The Update also takes a brief look over the last year and the milestone moments in Destiny's development for many Bungie folk, and we get some inkling about the wonders that will await us all in the New Year.  Go read! (Don't forget, we have a local version, too.)

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!

Happy Holidays, from Bungie

The Bungie Community Theatre is back, wishing all a happy holiday season!  Stop by Bungie.net to catch a dose of DeeJ's wicked rhymes and pore over some fresh new clips of gameplay.  Hat tip to the ever-prompt Xenos in our forum.

The Music of the Spheres

Game Informer continues to unveil the wealth of Destiny content they generated from their recent visit to Bellevue - the latest piece is a video interview with Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori, discussing the music of Destiny and the collaboration they were able to enter into with Paul McCartney. Go watch. Thanks to Zero for the heads-up.

Breaking In - Jonathon Dobbs

Jonathon Dobbs squashes bugs - bugs that would make Destiny less appealing to you and me. You can read about his job, his life, and his road to Bungie in the latest Breaking In article at B.net - if you want your OWN job there, or if you want to know more about the people who are building the game that will swallow your next holiday season, this is a good series to keep up with! (Thanks, Xenos.)

Guardian Radio Episode 41

The Guardians of Destiny tackled the latest wave of news from GameInformer in this week's episode of Guardian Radio. Tune in!

Christopher Barrett talks enemies with game informer

Xenos mentioned in the forum that Game Informer has published another Destiny feature, this time focusing on the various enemy factions found in Destiny.  There are a few new tidbits about the look and feel of each, plus some hints about spaces we might see them inhabit.  Go read!

Become A Legend

Destiny Author dropped by with news of Destiny Dispatch’s Become A Legend Project. It’s a pretty neat idea that will culminate as an eBook full of community fan fiction. If you like to write and you like Destiny, this might be for you - check it out!

In the Dark Smoke, a Face Appears.

Probably one of the best pieces I've seen him do so far, here's the latest from our talented Hedgem0ny:

It's Weekly Update Time

Today's Bungie Weekly Update focuses on a halloween costume that involves a gorgeous modeled Thorn (unlike the one created by Karin Olava, this one was actually 3D-printed from in-game assets - one of the benefits of working at Bungie)... and it has some interesting fan questions (with some squirrely answers) in the week's mail sack. If you'd rather, you can read it in our Weekly Update Archive. Go appreciate it! And appreciate Xenos, who keeps on top of all of this stuff.

Destiny will treat gamers like adults

Tyson Green (who came to Bungie from the Myth and Halo communities oh so many years ago) is the subject of the latest Game Informer interview - and his points are truly fascinating! He's the Investment Lead for Destiny, and it's his job to keep you coming back for more. He tries to explain where inspiration has come from other games, and where he feels that other games haven't gone far enough. He directly addresses multiple concerns mentioned on our forums (and elsewhere) - I STILL don't fully understand how it's all going to work, but I'm heartened to know that Bungie understands what makes me nervous, and is actively thinking about those things. Go watch for yourself! Thanks, Xenos.

The Traveler Is Coming to Town!

Ragashingo dropped by the forums with a holiday-themed writing assignment: he's hosting the "First Annual Destiny Christmas Fan-Fiction Contest". Go check out his post, and be sure to get your entries in before midnight on the 24th!

A Candle in the Darkness

Game Informer has posted a very enlightening interview with Bungie co-founder and design director Jason Jones. It's a fascinating look at the studio's vision for Destiny, from the inspiration behind the game's core concept to the story goals that drive every aspect of Bungie's world-building efforts. Go read the three-page article and then let us know what you think on our forum! (Thanks for the heads-up, Zero.)

You Might Not Know it, but Lars Bakken is Competitive

Game Informer sat down with Lars Bakken, design lead on Destiny, to talk all things multiplayer (well, some things). Lars talks about design philosophy, mechanics and how Destiny compares to Halo. If you're not the video type, Ragashingo put together a list of key information. 

Destiny VGX Trailer

Tonight’s VGX show treated us to some new (and old) Destiny footage accompanied by a new piece of music straight from the Ivory Tower. There are plenty of tidbits to start over analyzing. Get to work! Thanks, Xenos.

A flaming WHAT?

In keeping with standard Friday traditions, Bungie has posted the latest Bungie Weekly Update - it reiterates the newly-announced release date, it reminds people of the latest issue of Game Informer (chock-full of Destiny info), and it answers some useful questions. It even provides the audio for a flaming bung-hole. (That might not be as dirty as it sounds.) Go give it a read: either on Bungie.net or in our own Weekly Update Archive!

Destiny Launch Date Set

Bungie has officially nailed down the worldwide launch date for Destiny - and it's a bit later than we originally thought. Rather than Spring 2014, we'll be seeing (and playing) the game in September - and the Beta will take place in Summer, rather than in the next couple of months. Oh, the anticipation! (Thanks, Avateur.)

Guardian Radio Ep 39

roland let us know about the latest episode of Guardian Radio - they're catching up after two weeks off the air, and they've sure got a lot to talk about! Go listen.

I Want This Wrapped In Plastic.

If you haven't seen it already, INSANEdrive fulfilled my wish and used yesterday's Game Informer cover as a mock-up for Destiny's final packaging. Clean, crisp, cool - I'll take it!

(Man, am I hungry.)

I've Got the Whole Traveler in My Hands
