I am...whimsical today.

Podophobia Entertainment

Please Wait...

Incoming transmission...

Recieving Distress signal...

[Destiny Logo]

Please Wait for Further Intel


I last heard about the Podophobia site back in Summer (or thereabouts). When I went to visit it, it was just a white background with a countdown on it. The countdown was pretty far away at the time so I left it.

I remembered the site again just now, and went back. I don't remember when the countdown was supposed to end, but the site has certainly changed since I last saw it.

Is this the result of the countdown? Did anyone here keep track of the site as it reached 0?

While trying to find the site again, I came across some articles that said that Bungie didn't actually have anything to do with the site. I also seem to remember Urk saying as such when I first saw the countdown.

Did he lie? That's clearly the Destiny symbol shown. Is it the work of some dedicated scammers?

Is this even news to anyone? I did check, but the last thread I could find on it was back in September, and didn't seem to make reference of the Destiny logo.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

WHOAH, WAIT.

Actually, it's coming up with that video. Gave me a fright.

Wasn't Podophobia copyrighted by Harold Ryan and Marty? How does it have nothing to do with Bungie? Unless, the site was created by someone else just to fool with us... :/





I really want Destiny information now.

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

Now I know it is fake... The countdown it had before has reached 0 3 times now. Urk has said it is not Bungie. But now the site has the "Destiny" logo on it which is what Bungie is workign on... Must be fake...

I'm sure we've denounced more than enough countdown sites by now.

If it is a fake (which seems to be the prevailing feeling) then who did make it?
It seems like a lot of effort to go to just to fool people, with no obvious benefit to the creator.
Even incorporating the destiny logo into a flash movie seems to be a step beyond what I'd imagine a faker would go to.

Maybe I'm just inherently lazy though :)

Looking at the source code, it wasn't that hard of a site to build. Claiming the URL probably wasn't a huge deal, either.

The same thing happened before Aerospace was officially unveiled.
