Bungie University
I'm sure there's a thread on this already, but I just read [url=http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/25/pete-parsons-on-how-bungie-is-shaping-gamings-destiny-interview/view-all/]this really good interview[/url]. I've never really seen that website before but they asked REALLY good questions. In fact, they answered almost every Mail Sack question I've asked that went unanswered in the last year. Really good. Best article on Bungie I've seen in ages based on that.
But one thing that caught my eye was the mention of 'Bungie University.' It is host to 60+ hours of footage documenting events happening from the announcement of Destiny (to the Employees, not the public) as Bungie's next project, to now. Well, it wasn't too specific. I'm [i]assuming[/i] the 60 hours aren't like... each employee picked a youtube video to put in the footage somewhere.
... I'll be blunt. I want to see these videos. I really, REALLY want that. That would be the absolute coolest thing like... ever. During the darkness, a lot of us are here for the Community and Bungie itself. I know I certainly care about the company and want it to do well, and that's pretty cool. As such, I absolutely ADORE finding out behind the scenes things. And while I'm positive there are a ton of things we aren't allowed to see yet... someday... when we know all about Destiny. I would love it if those floodgates were to be opened.
Anybody else that would love to see that stuff? Fans of behind the scenes dealios? Who would love behind the scenes stuff in a Legendary Edition again (and NOT as a download, but something actually tangible!)?

I also spoiler-ed some notable snippets: [spoiler][quote][b]GamesBeat: Did somebody in particular sell you on the idea of Destiny? I think you came in after it started, right?[/b] [b][u]Parsons:[/u][/b] No, we’ve all been working from the very beginning. Well, it depends on how you look at it. Destiny has been an idea bouncing around since even before the technology to make it existed. [/quote] [quote]We even have something called Bungie University where there’s more than 60 hours worth of video. Starting from when we kicked off Destiny to the team at large in August 2009, you can watch all the way until now.[/quote] [quote][b]GamesBeat: The one thing that seemed to cause some confusion out there was whether this could be called an MMO or if this is more like a single-player campaign-ish thing. Is there a new name for whatever this will be? “Universe” is a little vague.[/b] [b][u]Parsons:[/b][/u] It’s Bungie’s next first-person shooter. That’s how I think of it. [/quote] [/spoiler]
