Grognok.net is a registered domain from Bungie.
Pure speculation: When Joseph Staten talks about the universe becoming "more the fans than ours" and it "taking a life of its own," what if Bungie is going to hand us the keys to Grognok and allow us to create our own worlds? It looked fairly user friendly from the limited screen time given.

He played in the Steakt-a-thon. But yeah, I think he's a designer now? Not much activity from him on here or Bnet.Karl2177 said:

Kismet may refer to Destiny in Turkish and Urdu... Also used in Bulgarian and in some dialects of Serbo-Croatian as luck. (Wikipedia)

I was talking about Luke Smith and he's not in the ViDoc probably cause he's a quiet dude when it comes to the internet (I don't actually know for sure though, but it always seemed like he didnt like to put himself out there too much for the internet- stranger danger)Karl2177 said:
Funny Story- After all the shit talking about it- Smith finally joined Twitter. He's still at Bungie I believe- It would take that dude alot of leave that place I think. I just miss the old dream team of Sketch Franky and Luke shittalking every couple weeks on the podcast. I want to know who the shitheads were on the internet that didn't like when Luke Smith was on and kick them in the nuts. It was probably Dax, Fuck you Dax.

I really liked Oni at the time but it's hard to get into nowadays. Whatever, sprinting at a guy to grab them by the head, spin, and snap their neck was great.Booties said:

Kismet is a flow attribute editor and is used for all sorts of things like linking materials, scripting, and is the basis for pretty much everything. It's used a lot for UDK.FyreWulff said:
Where did you come up with the words for that acronym if you don't know what kismet is?
I'm not talking about Unreal Engine with that post.
The point of the spoiler is that Kismet may have been an alternate name or another way to refer to Destiny. Because that is what the word means in certain languages.
I don't believe Bungie would be using the Unreal engine.

Or it's more of a reference to how they've always had fans take their universes and run with them. Marathon's 16 years old and people are still discussing its story and releasing updates through Aleph One and the iPad version. Myth's still getting updated by Project Magma (with scenarios still being made) and played on MariusNet. Oni has the Anniversary Edition in development the last time I checked. And now there's Halo being in the hands of 343i with fans that are demanding the same dedication and love from them just like they did with Bungie.
As for Grognok, I'd be surprised if Destiny didn't have some sort of user generation software. Marathon had Forge and Anvil, Myth with Fear and Loathing, and Halo with Forge.

I think we all deserve that finest quality for this finest of ViDocs.urk said:
I'd like Bungie to be remembered in H.264 super near uncompressed quality.

Hell I still play ONI once or twice a year probably. Own both PS2 and PC versions lol. I to this day wish to god they hadn't given it up and that we could get a proper sequel.

Every couple of years I get into it and play through the first little bit until it gets into the annoying platforming/laser dodging stuff. How was the PS2 version? I never gave that one a try.PsychoRaven said:
I played Oni for the first time during the Bungiethon last year. Turns out I like Oni.
The only problem I really have with the game is the way that these levels were made all huge and stuff and the encounters/enemies in each are sparse. If they had some more focused experience level design near the start of the game to build up the momentum faster, it would have been even better.
Also apparently it's PC version or nothing.

Honestly it's more frustrating then PC version. The controls weren't really tuned and it hurt the game in the platforming a lot. It was without a doubt a hell of a lot more frustrating when it came to that rooftop chase level.
FyreWulff said:
Yea the Anniversary community mods for it really do give it some new life. I just hate how it can be a pain to get running on newer PCs. A little work though it works decent.
So the bungie steaks (which I will be grilling this weekend) came with dry ice. I blew up a bottle with it and had a little fun

Yea. Sadly the only place you can find that is youtube in parts. If I had the stuff to edit MP4's I'd so edit them together like they were when I watched it streaming. I really hate that you have to get it this way because if they decide not to stream it anymore you're screwed. Of course Hell even now you're lucky if you can find it again. I watched it day one and haven't been able to find it again.

Oh son of a...... I so didn't realize I double posted. I'm on a failure streak this week.
MrBig said:
I watched most of it after I finished the campaign. The way Waypoint streams is really funky. Personally, I don't like it. Anyways, I had to deal with either 240p or 360p stretched onto a 1080p screen. As for the YouTube links, I probably could snip them together in Premiere really fast, but I don't particularly want to do that if another option exists.PsychoRaven said:
What they showed them doing there was using height map brushes. You can make pretty much anything front that, and accompanying that I'm sure there would be push/pull editing and a feature set pretty similar to the front end UDK. If the let you import your own mesh and textures then all the better.GhaleonEB said:
Using those terrain brushes though is not suitable for FPS level of detail, and that combined with the low-poly model and textures they showed paints a sore picture in the face of those looking for another FPS from Bungie.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not normally that easy to edit terrain, right? (I'm completely oblivious to how actual game development works.)MrBig said:

Heh. I'm playing "Halo (3)" right now and I wanted to look at the final message Mendicant Bias gives to the Chief in the terminal. I'm not playing on Legendary, so I had to look it up on the computer.
In light of Cryptum, this passage makes a lot of sense (put in spoilers for those who haven't read Cryptum):
I put in bold the most important word. Further spoilers for Cryptum:

I would love to read an AJ article about the connection between Forerunner Trilogy, CEA Terminals and Halo 4, when Halo 4 will come out. Dani etc. you have big shoes to fill. I hope you are ready for the task.

If 343 get the final Forerunner book out in time, I'll provide you with plenty of supplementary speculation and analysis. FUD will be busy leading up to Halo 4, for sure.

In light of Cryptum, this line from the Gravemind right before you get into the Warthog makes a little more sense, if I've interpreted it correctly.
"Defeat is simply the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved, but you imposed."
Spoilers from Cryptum:
"Defeat is simply the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved, but you imposed."
Spoilers from Cryptum:
What if the Gravemind is a Precursor conscious reborn again and again throughout the millennia? "Defeat is simply the addition of time to a sentence never deserved..." This particular Precursor did something wrong a was sentenced to an eternity as the Flood. He would not have been otherwise were it not for whatever the Forerunners did to the Precursors (he would've gotten some other punishment): "...but you imposed."

Wow, that ViDoc was great. Man was ODST a good game. Mix the feeling of ODST and Reach and I think Halo has its home.
Also, although minimal, the teases we got towards what Bungie has planned were awesome.. I wish this game would get announced already.

I believe Urk mentioned (in a GAF post) a few months ago that Smith was in design meetings with the big boys all the time.
Smith was hilariously awesome in the Reach vidocs. I also miss the days of him in the podcasts. Funny guy.
Have you seen the Heineken commercial about the handle bar mustache? It's epicness would make you extemely jealous I'd think.Hitmonchan107 said:
I wasn't necessarily commenting on the specific tool shown in the video. I was just saying that given what we know of what they're building, and the history of Bungie providing tools to create content in their games, I'd be surprised if there isn't a robust feature set around map editing in Destiny.MrBig said:
