Watch out. If I post in your thread, chances are it'll die. I've been cursed, and if I kill your thread, I'm sorry.

I don't think we'll see anything until 2013.

Which sucks, since the first game is set to ship in 2013. We'll have missed the entire development process. Even after all this time, I still don't know what compelled Bungie to go from being one of the most open studios to one of the darkest.

For real I'm getting super bored without anything to do.

It certainly feels like more than a year has passed by. I hope Bungie takes off the blindfold and shows us the light of day soon, but I can always wait longer.

Holy crap, this was really posted 1 year ago? Sweet baby jesus where has the time gone.

"If only, if only,"
The woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies."
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely;
Crying to the moon,
"If only, if only."

I'm certain that if Bungie was still running Halo and they were making Destiny on top of that the "Darkness" that everyone's complaining about would be gone. There would be no talk about Destiny. But Halo would be a large topic still.

Wow, one year. It honestly doesn't seem that long to me though.

One year... Sigh... I miss the weekly updates. I wish Bungie would start doing that again.



I'm going to go nuts and start hugging random people around me when a trailer for Destiny is released.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Weird, when I think about watching that video it doesn't seem that long ago, but when I think about the last weekly update we had, its seems much much longer.

  • 08.05.2012 9:31 AM PDT

I hope they make a countdown until we are out of the dark. The countdown can start a week before the darkness fades.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Didn't they say they would see us in 2013 somewhere on the updates? I know for a fact in one version they crossed out "starside" and put 2013.

Anyways, I sort of approve. I think that they may just plan to make a game so good they would not have to market it. I only saw advertizements for ODST, Reach, and Legends!

I'm certain that if Bungie's team of ~300 employees was working on Destiny (a four part series with three expansions) and Halo (a series with three parts left and, undoubtedly, spin off games too) and their next Marathon game (with an unknown about of sequels, or maybe none) that all of them would turn out to be a piece of -blam!-.

Though I personally feel things here died 2 months into Reach.

That's because our last normal BWU was about Reach, then Bungie shifted gears and started going dark.

Damn, thats a really long time. Feels like it's been longer though...

I feel like we're just being strung along for the hell of it. Whats the point of being this secretive? Most of the general info was leaked MONTHS ago. Our knowledge of the game isn't going to change how good it is, or when it comes out. It is going to keep the site active for another year while we wait though.

I know I won't be around much longer if it stays like this, as much as a love discussing puzzles we can't solve and site improvements that will never happen.

I don't really understand the purpose of withholding information for such a prolonged period of time. It seems silly.


Withholding information is the most empowering thing someone can do.

If you control information, you control everything. If they don't leak information then there can be no outside input. It's obvious that one of the things that's made Bungie so great was their success with Halo:CE. A game that was developed in almost total studio isolation.

I haven't been keeping up with much Destiny info. My buddy hosts MisriahSolutions, but other than that I am clueless. I believe that the last couple of lines of Urk's post means they are developing Destiny by Halo:CE's development outline. Something we should all be thankful for.

On another note, Blizzard has perfected the art of generating hype. And this is part of it.
