The 10th Warrior
Note by Recon54:
"by: Bryan "Brymen" Mendoza
A film homage to Marathon netplay, featuring the music of Underworld ("Cowgirl") coupled with rapidfire editing of net films, chapter screens and other artwork.
Remember, this is years before any Halo montages."
The title is in reference to the "security officer" protagonist of Bungie's Marathon series, who is the 10th and "missing" military cyborg.

Tidbits From The Edge Magazine
Kapowaz over in the DBO forum summarized the feature on Destiny from Edge Magazine. It seems the game will feature named weapon drops, like Borderlands, as well as weapon models generated procedurally from ingredients, perhaps like the weapon mod system from Mass Effect.
The article seems to soft pedal the possibility for solo play, kapowaz says, even though it has been recently confirmed that players will not be forced to play coop if they don't want to.

DvLZGaME Tours Bungie
Arabic language gaming site DvLZGaME has posted a video tour of Bungie (okay, Bungie's lobby). The video is in arabic, of course, but is still worth a look if you haven't already seen some of the Halo memoribilia Bungie has amassed.
Incidentally, it appears that Bungie has a small but motiviated fanbase in the Arabic world that is using Twitter to lobby for the Arabic localization of Destiny-- I'm guessing that Halo missed out on this treatment.
