Did you hear what I said?

One of the things I love the most about the early days of a new videogame is the way the fans daydream about what's coming. I stumbled across this sketch on Reddit recently and was struck by the media, the style... one can almost imagine the artist sitting in class, near the end of the school year, dreaming of what will be. Wonderful!

Guardian Radio V.5 For May 18, 2013

A little late, but Guardians of Destiny released another episode of Guardian Radio v.5 on Saturday - it's a nice wrapup of the week's news. Go listen!

It's not all fun and games. It's mostly games.

It's pretty well-known that you shouldn't drop by Bungie's offices unannounced (or even, usually, announced) - they aren't open to the public, and you'll just be wasting your time. Unless, of course, you're Nathan Fillion. Then you can drop by. This, and other interesting info, can be found in this week's Mail Sack - there are some great questions, some silly questions, and answers that span the gamut. There are also a pair of new desktops for your viewing pleasure. (Actually, only the thumbs are in the Sack - the desktops themselves are in the Wallpaper gallery.) Go read, and get pumped - E3 is coming in less than a month!

A deep summary from PSM

Playstation Magazine UK has written up their first look at Destiny. According to urk, the info they're disseminating has all been public since February 17... but if you read it carefully, it might seem new. (I was at the mid-February press conference, and some of it seems new.) Worth a look, just for its overview properties! Thanks, Mr Daax.

More Impressive Community Art

The Bungie twitter highlighted a new piece of incredible Destiny fan art from threesided. There's more where that came from - go check out the 'Art and Stuff' art contest thread for more awesomeness.

Spirited Away

A rumor whipped through the Twittersphere recently - it centered around an image that purported to be an ad for Destiny of Spirits, a PS Vita flavor of Destiny. For anyone who didn't get the memo, Bungie confirmed that this is NOT real - "when we actually announce something, we'll use our current logo." Thanks to IGN for the debunking, and to our community for the entertaining comments in this thread.

Secrets of the bungie mobile app

Bungie Mobile App users were recently greeted with a bug fix update for Android and iOS devices - some users discovered that they now had the ability to read and post on the Bungie.net forums directly from the app. According to DeeJ, a small group of frequent forum users have been granted access to the test version of the mobile Bungie.net forums. Don't worry, the update will continue to rollout to more users, eventually. Thanks, Xenos.

Art and Stuff Contest

Cal Carlson let us know that the 'Art and Stuff' group on Bungie.net is hosting another contest - you must create an original piece of art depicting what you want your Destiny character to look like. Winners will be adorned with awesome swag from Bungie themselves! The deadline is May 21st, so dip your paint brushes (or turn on your digital drawing tablet) and start creating!

They call 'em rock stars...

This week's Breaking In spotlight shines on Dave Matthews - no, not the South African musician, the 3D artist who works at Bungie. (He DOES make music, though. Just not on company time.) Swing by and see where this long-time industry veteran (he's been working on video games for 21 years) came from, where he's going, and why he thinks Destiny will be something that plays a huge role in your life!

Mercury's Vault of Questions

Ragashingo added his story from The DBO Challenge Week 5 thread to the fan fiction archive. In it a group of Guardians discover a hidden vault on Mercury that raises more questions than it answers. Go read!

The Art of Bungie's History

TD Spiral gave us a peek at this amazing piece from the handful of fan art he made for Laird's charity auction. While this image didn't quite make it into the auction, it's still very impressive! (Full size.)

Spring Cleaning for Child's Play

Laird has posted his latest round of auction items benefiting the Child's Play charity, one item of which should interest Destiny fans. The print pictured above is one of the limited edition lithographs sold from the Bungie store; only 150 were made, but this one is unique in that it has been autographed by a ton of Bungie employees! Check out this eBay page for more details and a look at the rest of Laird's charity auctions - there are some really neat things up for grabs! (Thanks for the heads-up, Xenos.)

Sack up and ship out

Bungie has sounded the horn and put out the call for the latest Mail Sack. Heed its instructions and release your queries! 

We Built This City

Well, not really, but Axelrod vK mapped out what he thinks the last remaining city on Earth will look like. By using a map of Puerto Princesa and in-game/concept reference shots from Destiny he was able to map out key points of interest such as the Traveler and the Tower in relation to the surrounding geography. Neat!

Peanut butter engines and a lot of slow-clapping.

This week's mailsack has been posted and it's full of the usual teases, jokes, and amusing anecdotes. Head over to Bungie.net to give it a read, but be sure to tread quietly and watch out for Harold! (Thanks for the heads-up, Xenos.)

Our Destiny Becomes Just a Bit Clearer

The great Guardians at Bungie saw fit to pull back the veil just a touch regarding their new universe, as they have begun beefing up the Destiny section of Bungie.net (they are not Bungie.org). Go and see for yourself new information on story, landscapes, and even some new enemy variants. Can it please be out already?! Go look!

Bungie trademarks 'ViDoc'

Heh, looks like Bungie has filed a trademark for the term "ViDoc", under the definition of "Audio and video recordings featuring previews and other information about video games". You may recall Urk's full explanation for the term from a Bungie Weekly Update back in 2009:

ViDoc is actually an amalgamation of three terms: visual, informational, and documentation. It’s definitely not an industry term that we would expect you to be familiar with. In fact, we kinda made it up.

The word was first used by Sketch in November of 2006 when hinting at the first ViDoc, "Et Tu Brute?" which was released later that year on December 20th:

Recreating Vintage MIDI Sound

Narcogen has posted Episode 27 of the Anger, Sadness & Envy podcast over at Rampancy.net, wherein he chats with Mars Science Laboratory planetary scientist (and Bungie fan) Craig Hardgrove about Marathon, Bioshock Infinite, and everything in-between. Set aside 41 minutes and give this a listen!

The DBO Challenge: Week 6 - TV Shows in Paint

It's time for Week 6 of the DBO Challenge! Check this thread for details, then show us your favorite television show through some (intentionally) low-fidelity art! While you're at it, don't forget to read back through Week 5's weapon ideas and all of the crazy stories they inspired.

(If you're in the mood for something off-topic and of a higher-quality than MS Paint usually provides, be sure to check out this gorgeous 10-page preview of "Mayflower", an original comic from our resident artist Leviathan.)

Breaking In: Rajeev Nattam, Senior 3D Artist

Tuesday means that it's time for a new "Breaking In" article, and this week's focus is on Rajeev Nattam, Senior 3D Artist at Bungie. For Destiny, Raj is tasked with molding and sculpting the weapons and vehicles that we will wield in our mission to take back the solar system (apparently there will be quite a few!). Check out the interview to hear about his job and see how he forged his road to Bungie.

Trampled by Sunlight

After a late start and a few excuses (wolves?!), DeeJ has opened the Mail Sack for the week. You know how it works: submit some great questions for the Bungie crew and get them answered on Friday!

Fan-made Hunter WIP

A few days ago, a member of the Polycount forum decided to start modeling one of the Hunters we've seen as concept art - it looks like watching the WIP thread might be fun. Go see!

Goodies and Questions at Destiny Forum

Destiny Forum is giving away a bunch of Destiny schwag (shirts, mug, poster) - and you can get in on the action by joining their community and telling 'em why you want it! The giveaway is open until May 15, so get over there! (While you're there, maybe vote in their 'What platform would you buy Destiny for?' poll - I find the results pretty interesting, myself!)

Guardian Radio Episode 11

The Guardians of Destiny released episode 11 of their podcast show - the crew is joined by YouTuber MoreConsole to discuss the latest Destiny news, including talk of monetization and raids. Go listen!

Fit For A King

Jospeh Biwald finished up his Bungie community shirt design for PAX Prime 2013 - it's safe to say that the Bungie community will be the best dressed at this years PAX. Follow the Bnet PAX group for more details. Thanks to Bungie Informer for the heads up.
