G4TV and MLGPro put together a behind-the-scenes tour of MLG Anaheim – if you’ve never been to a pro gaming event, this is worth watching! Thanks to GAF’s Risen for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 16:21:02 UTC)

It’s there as plain as day. Bungie is now the clear-cut owner of the trademarks for “Destiny” and “Be Brave.”

The marks were originally owned by Podophobia Entertainment, a dummy corporation established by Bungie’s Studio Manager Harold Ryan and Audio Director Marty O’Donnell. It appears the trademarks are the same ones filed by the corporation but with a change in ownership, as every other detail is identical to the originals, down to the filing and publication dates.

The Y-shaped “Destiny” logo was seen in Bungie’s latest ViDoc, “O Brave New World,” but the game was still mentioned by its codename, “Tiger.” Sharp-eyed fan Daniel Duncan spotted a poster for “Destiny” when he scoured the 55-minute video for new information. And if you’d like to see more of his finds, check out his latest article from Misriah Solutions if you haven’t already. (Hitmonchan 07:15:41 UTC)

A few days ago, scarab kicked off a thread on our forum discussing some AI script code visible in the O Brave New World ViDoc. It was interesting, but ultimately a forum feature… until Dan Miller jumped in yesterday. He did a really nice job answering a bunch of questions folks had for him – check out the whole thread for tidbits! (Louis Wu 15:31:55 UTC)

urk stopped by our forum this afternoon, and asked a pretty loaded question: if, say, Bungie were to participate in a Halo Fest panel at PAX this year… what would you like to hear? (He’s not promising anything – he’s just looking for feedback. Go give him some.) (Louis Wu 21:57:40 UTC)

Oddworld sent us a link to a pretty amazing LEGO Pelican – check it out! (Louis Wu 21:54:19 UTC)

Another heads-up from Paul Shelley – H3Survivors has posted his last Halo machinima ever; once you’ve watched the film, read the description to find out why. You may not recognize the name, but you’ll probably recognize some of the footage. (Louis Wu 21:52:31 UTC)

Apologies for the lack of news – I’ve been sick all day. Let’s see what I can get out of the queue. First up: Paul Shelley sent word that Halo Legacy: Cielo Negro Episode 1 is live – Nuevo Seville is under attack, and one ODST has a chance to make a difference. Go watch! (Louis Wu 21:51:46 UTC)
