Fire Team Zulu: Natural Formations
FyreWulff sent word that there’s a new Fire Team Zulu challenge online – Natural Formations has you playing on Halo (the second level of the first game), but you’re not allowed to use a sniper (or give one to your Marine passenger). See how many Marines you can save!(Louis Wu 20:39:55 UTC)

Forgin’ Away
We missed a couple of new vids highlighted on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter yesterday – apologies. There’s a new Forge Café recap video (showing off some nice custom content), and more custom content from the Ready Up Live crew on a couple of maps. Go watch; maybe you’ll find maps for your friends on your own Customs night!(Louis Wu 20:38:49 UTC)

New discovery supports old rumor

I wouldn’t call it fate.
Tracing the paper trails of Bungie employees, I discovered Podophobia Entertainment, a company formed by Harold Ryan and Martin O’Donnell. And wouldn’t you know it, a quick company trademark search revealed a listing for “Destiny.”
Does that name sound familiar? It’s the title an ex-Bungie contractor leaked to Kotaku after he was fired. He also said the game blends together first-person shooter, MMO and sci-fi elements.
The trademark describes the game as “[c]omputer game software downloadable from a global computer network.”
NeoGAF member Willeth noticed strange symbols on a Bungie employee’s shirt in a recent video from Penny Arcade. The small symbol on his left shoulder matches the logo in the listing.
According to Trademarkia, the trademark was filed July 20, 2009, and it was granted a second extension on March 7.
Podophobia Entertainment goes back to May 8, 2006, according to the Delaware Division of Corporations. It is now listed as inactive.
The company has a second trademark filed, “Be Brave,” which was also granted a second extension on Feb. 24. The description for the trademark is nearly identical to the one for “Destiny.”(Hitmonchan 13:38:25 UTC)

I feel bad for Jeff Stanler.
Starting May 22, if you are a student and you buy a Windows 7 PC over $699, you will receive a free Xbox 360. To promote this deal, Microsoft has posted an ad called ‘Guess who’s coming to college?‘, featuring some pretty nice Spartan armor. Heh. Thanks to Gundamguy for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 13:33:59 UTC)

Alternate Reach Intro
Over on NeoGAF, Tunavi spliced together campaign and promotional footage to create an alternate introduction to Reach. In his version, the game skips the opening Covenant invasion and drops you right onto the shores of war. Very well done!(Hitmonchan 22:02:08 UTC)
