Not much to talk about, but good to know we have a home (and should keep some Destiny chatter off the HBO forum, to boot).

I've been a lurker on HBO for many years, since 2003. Holy crap, that's a decade. I've been wanting to nudge my way back into the community, and I suppose DBO is the perfect opportunity.

    No, what makes you say Ascalon?

    Couldn't remember how to spell Asklon and took someone's word for it on the internet.

    It reminds me of Ashkelon and we know that Bungie likes their biblical connections.

    Apparently Goliath came from there.

    I suppose that it is pretty tenuous considering that it could just be the company logo.
