[b][quote]It's not official; I'm really sorry, I know how much you want to believe it. But I've been watching these fan-made videos and accounts come and go since ILB and Halo 2, and ESPECIALLY since Iris, and they're really easy to spot.
It's just a fan being creative and trying to add his or her own little spin of creativity into the universe; nothing more, nothing less.

[i]Yup, that's clarification that joyeuse7 and !lettinggo are NOT official. But now we get back to [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/Forum/Post?id=59800681]the matter at hand[/url].[/i][/b]
[b][u]The Video[/u][/b]
[spoiler]A few days after Bungie Day 2011, July 12th to be exact, a video was posted to the YouTube channel under the username "joyeuse7". The video was posted to the channel the day the channel was created. The video's title: !lettinggo. You can view the video [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA9oSO-HLQw]here[/url]. The oddest part about this video to me, and one of the reasons I believe it could be legitimate, is because it shows off the Destiny logo and even mentions Destiny by name in the video.[/spoiler]
[u][b]The Tumblr[/b][/u]
[spoiler]Of course, the posting date of the video doesn't make it feel very legit. However, joyeuse7 doesn't just make an appearance on YouTube. Sifting through the forums I found that someone located a Tumblr account under the username joyeuse7. You can check out the Tumblr [url=http://joyeuse7.tumblr.com]here[/url]. Now I know what you're thinking, "Oh, just a continuation of a fan-made little Destiny thing." The theme of the Tumblr was selected to hide the posting date of the text that appears on the page. It was posted less than a week ago, February 9th, the day after the Alpha Lupi Bungie.net account was created. [/spoiler]
I very much encourage you to go watch the video and check out the Tumblr. Everything from the video including separate audio and each screenshot from it can be found on the Alpha Lupi IRC's Dropbox [url=https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ruh1rfce863k8mu/CfNm60r3uU]here[/url]. Share what you think about this in the comments below.
And just for fun, here are all of the links in one convenient little place.

4 RepliesOne thing that I've been wondering, is how long has the Destiny symbol been around? Because that video is from 2011, and I don't recall seeing the symbol until last year, I'd think it's legit. But I don't know, so point me in the right direction, please!

I didn't check out the tumblr; the tumblr checked out me.

Edited by adamj004: 2/13/2013 4:32:22 PMI knew it wasn't real because the guy was using tumblr... Bungie would not be using a public site like tumblr for an ARG. But it was still very interesting, creepy and cryptic. If I did believe it I wouldn't be upset about it turning out to be fake because we have a real ARG from bungie themselves.
-
I was wondering why every one was going crazy over a year old video... I didn't give it much thought because it looked fan made.

Edited by Joris: 2/12/2013 11:17:49 PMThis shits real! (Idk) there a fft static map thingie during one of the screen flashes although there is a marathon symbol too and it seems unlikely that bungie would put a marathon symbol in destiny related stuff
-
Reading the excerpt on that first image might give me nightmares. I wish there was a tie, but I am voting no on this one. They are in the process of revealing this week, and if they wanted that to be part of the ARG, they would have placed it in their official plans.
-
Nice find man. I had been working on the suspicion that it's real as well. It's not far fetched. Also, here's Joyeuse7's twitch.tv account: http://www.twitch.tv/joyeuse7/b/290008248x
-
You havn't given us a reason or a theory why you think this is real you just provided screen shots from the youtube video.

yup. derp derp traveller arrives at earth derp derp what is this thing? derp derp weird shit starts happening derp derp oh no evil crazy aliens/people who warship an insane AI start trying to invade derp honk get the knights they will protect us #destinyplot

I also thing they're legitimate, specially because joyeuse7 tumblr profile an Alpha Lupi were created at the same time (9/02).
