Remember Dinklebot And The Wizard That Came From The Moon With This Text Tone
When we originally published this story on June 30, 2014, we had no idea this since-removed line from Destiny's alpha would become Dinklebot's epitaph. Now that Nolan North has taken over the role entirely, you might lament the absence of the original voicing. Whether you miss Peter Dinklage's version of the Ghost in earnest or ironically, we wanted to give you another chance to grab this text tone for your iOS and Android devices

This story was originally published on June 30, 2014.
On Friday, we shared with you the achievement and trophy list for Destiny. In the official Bungie post that made these available, the company also indicated that the voiceover from the alpha would be re-recorded for July’s beta test and again for the final release.
What this means is that Peter Dinklage’s “that wizard came from the moon” line will likely be scrubbed from existence. If you’ll miss it as much as us, you can carry it with you on your iDevice or Android phone.
Through the magic of the internet, I was able to create a text tone with the clip. I thought some of you might be interested in it also, so feel free to download it for iOS (you'll need to sideload via iTunes) or in mp3 format (compatible with Android), and have all your email or texts sent to you directly from the moon.
Got an idea for other ringtones or text tones? Let us know and we’ll see what we can do for you!
