Exotic Watermelon Exo

Yes, it is just as amazing as that title suggests. Discovered through Hedge's Twitter curation, Exotic Watermelon Exo is both beautiful and hilarious, not to mention an excellent piece of fanart by artist Jake Myler (@Lazsummerstone). I hope there's many more!

Coming Soon - Conversation With Creators

Playstation is kicking off a new series of interviews, called 'Conversations with Creators'. They look to be roundtable discussions with Wil Wheaton as the moderator. Episode 1 will feature Bungie, with Jason Jones, Luke Smith, Ryan Ellis, and Jason Sussman participating. It airs on July 7, and the official page has just a Wheaton-hosted promo... but Facebook has a 90-second excerpt from the interview itself - this looks to be fantastic!

Rethinking the Companion App

Over at Polygon, a Facebook product designer decided to take a look at the Destiny Companion App, with an eye to improving its usefulness to the average fan. Some of the ideas are really good! Go take a look. Thanks, red robber.

Managing Your Inventory

Funkmon dove into three popular inventory management systems created by fans (and running outside the game) to show you the pros and cons of each, and help you streamline your gear management in Destiny. It's a fantastic read - check it out!

The Destiny Taken King Pricing Controversy Song

There's been a lot of response to the Eurogamer Luke Smith interview at E3, both from fans and from Bungie themselves - we've covered a bunch of that. Paul Thrall put up a fun song, though, set to Jessie J's 'Price Tag', and it's hilarious. Whichever side you find yourself on (Luke was misunderstood, Luke is a horrible person), smiling makes everything better. Thanks, UnrealCh13f.

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.

Have a question about the taken king?

We're at E3, and we have a scheduled interview with Bungie in an hour. Got a question you want answered? Post it in this forum thread, and we'll do our best to get it answered!

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.

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.)

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!

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! 

Destiny on sale at Amazon

Amazon is currently selling Destiny (physical) for $19.99 on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4. Not bad!

Real Fake Hand Cannons

Prop maker Zander Brandt has created highly detailed hand cannon replicas fit for any gunslinger. The Hawkmoon is particularly cool and I wouldn’t mind owning one myself! You can check out Zander’s blog to see how he built these weapons. (via Kotaku)

Competitive Race Mode (Fan Concept)

Badass Gaming put together a trailer for 'Competitive Race Mode' - I'm loving it. Watch the trailer!

The Puzzle Pieces That Make Up Destiny

Our ol' pal Hedge pointed out that Sid Moye, environment artist at Bungie, has updated his ArtStation portfolio with his work on Cabal environments, with a great shot of the foundational materials used to build much of the Cabal interiors as seen below:

There's also some intriguing views of his work on the Moon!

The Cabal Dropship Finds Its Design

Isaac Hannaford posted another slew of sketches of the Cabal dropship and what ultimately became the final design. Thanks Black Six!

Better in real life?

No Land Beyond is an Exotic primary weapon that doesn't always get love from fans... but redditor AHydrogenAt0m decided to model it out of wood anyway. Personally, I love what he's come up with! Check out the Imgur album to see the entire construction process.

A Review of the Destiny Poster Collection and Journal

After reviewing The Art of Destiny a few weeks ago, the publisher, Insight Editions, asked if DBO would be interested in doing the same for the Poster Collection and Journal they also publish. Our review tackles the Journal first in part 1, then moves on to the Poster Collection in part 2.

Early Concepts of Cabal Ships

Black Six let us know that Isaac Hannaford updated his blog with some sketches of Cabal fighters and dropships. Neat sketches!
