A lot of ways to enjoy the action

Playstation talks about strikes - and how good you'll feel playing them. Nice news tidbit - if you're at E3, you'll be among the first to get your hands on Destiny's competitive multiplayer. Woohoo! Xenos found it (surprise, surprise).

And so it begins...

First up from Polygon is a video and in-depth article that asks "What is Destiny offering?" and begs the question of what is new and fresh from the fertile minds of the Fist. Go and watch it! RIGHT NOW!

Digging up the roots

Jordan117 made a name for himself in the HBO community as a fan who was really good about pulling together disparate information and finding cool connections. Yesterday, he showed up on the DBO forum with a post that bodes well for speculators everywhere - go give it a read, and see what you think about his theory on the City's location (and its overall place in the Bungieverse)!

PlayStation Access has a week of content for you

If it wasn't already clear, the information floodgates for the journalists who visited Bungie last week open officially on Monday - PlayStation Access has posted their own teaser of what's to come. (There'll be dozens more by Monday.) Thanks, Xenos.

Destiny Embellished Quadcopter

Breitzen showed off his customized DJI Phatnom 1 VTOL quadcopter in our forums:

Looks cool! But I am a little frightened that if I kill his Guardian in the coming beta he'll send his drone after me in real life...

Marty O'Donnell - After Bungie

The big Destiny news of the week, so far, has been the firing of Marty O'Donnell as Audio Director; neither side is offering details on the event (though Bungie has confirmed that Marty's music will remain in the game). We had a chance to talk to Marty this morning - and while there aren't a lot of answers for fans who want to know what happened behind closed doors, it was comforting to hear Marty's positive comments about the game, and about the people he's worked alongside for so many years. More than anything, we want the best for both sides - we're fans of Bungie as well as of its games, and we count many of their employees among our friends. Go read.

The end of an era?

I'm not at all sure what to write here - so I'll present the facts, as we know them. Last night, Marty O'Donnell, the man behind Bungie's music since 2000 (well, 1997, really), tweeted this:

I'm saddened to say that Bungie's board of directors terminated me without cause on April 11, 2014.

— Marty O'Donnell (@MartyTheElder) April 16, 2014

And a little later, Bungie put up a post on Bungie.net that doesn't really explain anything, but does suggest that the Tweet is not just a joke.

For more than a decade, Marty O'Donnell filled our worlds with unforgettable sounds and soundtracks, and left an indelible mark on our fans. Today, as friends, we say goodbye. We know that wherever his journey takes him, he will always have a bright and hopeful future.

We wish him luck in all his future endeavors.

There are discussion threads all over the net - we have one on our forum, NeoGAF's is fast-moving and huge, Reddit's is growing... if we learn more, we'll let you know.

Whatever this means, it saddens me, personally.

PlayStation Access Wants Your Destiny Questions

PlayStation Access is crowdsourcing questions for Bungie for an upcoming interview - watch the video below, then log into YouTube and add your own question to their comments section!

Warlocked in 3D

Another in this impromptu 'Wednesday Art Round Up' from our dear Hedgem0ny. This here's a 3D model created by OnyxGiant and posted on his CGHub page. It's an original design inspired by Destiny's Warlock class, with loot, Ghosts, and guns:

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.

GDC 2014: Character Customization

Scott Shepherd (Technical Art Lead for Bungie's 3D Department) presented this year at GDC. The talk, Building Customizable Characters for Bungie's Destiny, is now available on the GDC Vault. In this hour-long presentation, Scott presents a ton of information about the vision and implementation of the character appearance and customization that we will experience in Destiny. The talk itself is about 40 minutes long, with another 20 minutes of Q&A afterward. Very interesting! (Thanks to Xenos for the heads-up!)

Old Russia in Project Spark

Okay, this is pretty cool: OurDarkDestiny used Project Spark to recreate the beginning of the Old Russia demo from E3! If this inspires you to create your own Destiny-themed game or video in Project Spark, check out this Bungie.net thread for details on a contest hosted by OurDarkDestiny and the Destiny Community Hub team.

Tuesday Fan Fiction

The fan fiction queue has been quieter lately, but PerseusSpartacus submitted the next chapter of his Introversion in the Key of D Minor series. Go have a read!

Fan Fiction Monday

PerseusSpartacus submitted the next chapter in the "Introversion in the Key of D Minor" series. Go give it a read!

What We Know So Far

Destiny Updates stopped into our forum to announce "What We Know So Far", a massive, 40+ minute overview of all the details we've been given up to now. It's broken into sections, with handy timestamps in the YouTube description, for folks who don't have three quarters of an hour to sit and watch all in one sitting - but it's interesting enough to do just that. Go check it out!

Enumerating the pillars of success

Post Game Lobby thinks that Bungie has pretty much guaranteed its success with Destiny - and is willing to elaborate. Give it a read.

Let the Games Begin!

Today marks that special time that comes every so often in the Winter season. A day when teams who usually work together instead split into factions and face off against one another in a friendly competition. The only treasure from their winnings? Everlasting glory.

What? No, it's not the USA/Canada Olympics hockey semi-final! We, of course, speak of the 2013-2014 Bungie Pentathlon, and Destiny appears to be front-and-center for most of the competition. The Bungie Twitter feed promises updates throughout the day, and there's an ongoing scoreboard in the Bungie.net news post. So whether you support the tried-and-true Grizzled Ancients, back either of the Schools, or root for the Newbies' fresh blood, be sure to keep an eye on those pages!

Update: DeeJ is also updating the Bungie Pentathlon group on Bungie.net, and it appears that one of the webcams has been deputized into covering the events of the day.

Scaling back the hype

The Motley Fool thinks Bobby Kotick's recent claim that Destiny will "become the best-selling new video game IP in history" might be a bit overblown. Go read their analysis of the situation!

Activision's Expectations

If Activision's August earnings call wasn't enough to convince you, CEO Bobby Kotick has a lot of confidence in Bungie's new game. Joystiq reports that the company expects "Destiny [to] become the best-selling new video game IP in history." No pressure, Bungie!

Fan fiction at its finest

Somehow this got lost in the weekend shuffle, but the Destiny Dispatch crew finally released their fan fiction collection "Become Legend" for download. The eBook is packed with 21 community-written stories interspersed with some awesome fan art from a few names you might be familiar with. Get the full story on this project (and where to find it) over at HDDispatch. (Thanks for the reminder, Hedge!)

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!

Custom Built Guardians

Halodestiny.net has posted a series of cards showing off customization options for your guardian - I don't have a copy, but I think these come from the latest issue of GameInformer. If you'd rather view these as a slideshow, Datto has posted them to Imgur.

Destiny fan wallpaper for your phone

redditor sdannyc put together a few cool Destiny phone wallpapers - go check 'em out! There are three variants, at two sizes each. The big ones are substantial (the one shown at the right is 1279x2271), so they should be fine for nearly any phone screen. Go show your class colors!

MoreConsole's Look at December's Cornucopia

A visit to the Destiny subreddit revealed a number of intriguing fan-created goodies - let's take a look, shall we? MoreConsole released his own year-end video that summarized the Destiny info drop that took place in December - even if you watched Datto's summary, you'll find new observations here. Go look!

Designing the Bungie Animation Workflow

We recently mentioned Scott Shepherd's upcoming GDC presentation "Building Customizable Characters for Bungie's Destiny", but Scott isn't the only one sharing secret Bungie sauce this March - animator Richard Lico will give a talk on "Designing the Bungie Animation Workflow".The full description of the session promises that attendees will "get to see footage in raw form before it becomes the shiny, polished game released into the wild." Neat!
