IGN's Top 10 Reach Kills: 05.19.11
ChrisTheeCrappy let us know about the latest iteration of IGN's Top 10 Reach Kills - this one's well above average. Some really fun clips in there! (Louis Wu 23:23:12 UTC) (permalink)
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) (permalink)
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) (permalink)
New discovery supports old rumor
It's time you start believing in destiny.
Tracing the paper trails of Bungie employees, I discovered Podophobia Entertainment, a dummy corporation formed by company president Harold Ryan and composer Martin O'Donnell. And wouldn't you know it, a quick trademark search for the company revealed a listing for "Destiny."
Does that name sound familiar? It's the title an ex-Bungie contractor leaked to Kotaku after he said 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 T-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) (permalink)
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.

When the Sky Ends
Edge sent word of 'When the Sky Ends', a short Halo 3/Reach montage showing gameplay from the Halotracker community. Go spend a couple of minutes! (Louis Wu 13:18:50 UTC) (permalink)
Romeo Prelude Comic (and more)
Hedgemony released a prelude to his upcoming Romeo-based comic - go check it out! (While you're viewing great Hedgemony-tweaked artwork, take a look at his Visual Love thread - it's a tribute to Bungie's environment artists.) (Louis Wu 13:15:46 UTC) (permalink)
Modern War Gear Solid - part 5
BlueNinja noticed that the last episode of Modern War Gear Solid has been released - Master Chief plays an important role (and even RvB gets a nod!). Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:14:54 UTC) (permalink)
Sozo
Sl'askia decided to combine the Halo and Tron universes, in a small way - check out Sozo!
