Every other cool game out there has an acronym -- you know, H:CE, H2-4, CoD, TOR, TES, Blops, GTA, LoU, BF3, and so on. We even use acronyms for genres, platforms, and content -- you know, MMORPG, XBO, PS4, DLC, and so on.
But we're still calling Destiny "Destiny." Come on, guys! We're on the forefront of this and I think we need to get out ahead before someone else thinks of an acronym for us.
I'm thinking "D." That way, it's much faster and easier to talk about the game, and it gives us gamer cred when we say stuff like "I want the D," "D will be huge," and "I hope Bungie's D will be as hard as possible."
Thoughts?

So, if you want to do this right, you need to assign words to the letters in Destiny. Developer Enabled Simulator To Intend Neurological Yearning

It should be named tits for-This Is The Sh*t (although if you told your girlfriend that it could get awkward fast) "I'm gonna go play some tits" lol

Though I don't think it will catch on beyond this forum.. the inside joke of it all is just too funny to pass up. Count me in. I officially want the D. I yearn for the D, even. My body trembles at the mere thought of receiving Bungie's D. And I can only imagine the heights of ecstasy that I will reach once I posses it. Once I have it, I intend to gently caress the D; admiring the D's hard, yet slightly bendable structure. I'll gaze upon it as the light gently gleams off it's surface. I'll take a deep breath, prepare myself for what comes next, and softly, yet firmly, insert the D into my slot. Then, and only then, will I truly be a man.

What do they do with the D inside the spandex room?

I think about the D every day....I cry in bed at night saying "when am I getting the D?"

I can't wait to have the D in my hands, come the year 2014. Bungie's D will revolutionize how we play with each other.

"D" as in I want the "D"

3 RepliesEdited by Spawn: 7/12/2013 3:10:35 AMI think Bungie created D by design. We always knew they loved our mothers. Yep, I went there.

You realize how wrong that sounds, maybe I just have a dirty mind.
