Over at marathon.bungie.org this week comes the announcement of the opening of the newly-renovated archive site for Marathon-related files: http://fileball.whpress.com/ Go check it out!

Most Bungiefen have been eagerly awaiting official news for the company’s next game, referred to internally as Tiger and externally as Destiny, have so far been treated only to long-winded legal contracts and some leaked treatments and concept art. B…

In the second installment of Bungie Community Theater, Deej says that Bungie has been working for years “under the cover of darkness” on a new universe, but that what they’ve been creating will be unveiled “within a matter of weeks”. I say if he’s wro…

Remake of the original Haliens by c0ld vengeance, using Halo Anniversary. Haliens

Websites, like smart AIs, start to go rampant after seven years, and that’s about how old the software and hardware that underpinned Rampancy had gotten. No more. The site is now on a new machine, and although it’s modest, it still outspecs the old o…

The Bungie webmaster (never positively identified but vaguely described as a gorilla in a cowboy hat) seems to have been supplanted by Deej doing an impression of Alaistair Cooke. This would appear to be the first in a weekly series leading up to what…

Just a few quick notes here about the site. I’ll probably write something longer a bit later, but this should suffice for now. It’s no secret that the code running R.net right now is, in Internet terms, fairly ancient. That’s at least partially respon…

The last Penny Arcade comic of 2012 (warning: profanity) features a free iOS game called Spaceteam that Tycho described as being to Galaxy Quest what Artemis is to Star Trek. It’s a cooperative science fiction jargon game that allows players to– amo…

Leaks seem to be de rigeur for Bungie’s new game, codenamed and possibly titled Destiny. First, court documents relating to legal disputes involving new publisher Activision revealed some of the general parameters of the game and the intended product…

From this week’s Breaking In interviewing Rachel Swavely it seems like motion capture is going to play a big role in what Bungie is doing with Destiny.

There’s nothing really new here, but Shacknews picked up on a mention of beta testers for Destiny in Bungie’s blog and spun it into a story.

A tweet by Urk was confirmed in the Bungie mailbag as indicating that Bungie’s next game, codenamed Destiny and apparently featuring musical collaboration between Bungie’s Marty O’Donnell and the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, has reached a playable form. No…

Reader dalekbob submitted two transcriptions of music from the original Marathon game: Chomber and New Pacific (Reprise), both written by Bungie founder Alexander Seropian.

A very happy Bungie Day to all Bungiefen everywhere. Bungie doesn’t have anything posted at their site yet, but go ahead and enjoy their Bungie Day Eve Mailsack until then.

There’s a nice retrospective on the Marathon series today over at Reg Hardware. Thanks to Louis Wu at HBO for the heads-up.

TouchArcade has a story noting that Daniel Blezek’s ports of the Marathon games (Marathon 1 and Marathon 2: Durandal by Bungie, and Marathon: Infinity by Double Aught) are available on iOS for free.

A Joystiq story today appears to reveal rather more information about Bungie’s upcoming projects than fans are used to hearing during a quiet period. Aside from a few seconds of music and video, the term “Destiny” was about all we knew. Now, a document…

First of all, many kudos to Cody Miller who did the production and editing on this episode, rescuing it from my hard drive where it had lurked, untouched, since late last year. Miller, Blackstar and myself pick up where the discussion of Halo Anniversa…
