    Destiny: Bungie's next Adventure. (the old thread)

    So glad I bought those Fallen boots from Variks last night. It's all arms today. Thanks Obama Bungie.

    Yeah, you can get a core with each toon. I did 32 and 34 with my two main Titans and thankfully still have a core in my vault. The bile being spewed on Reddit right now about this is amazing. ETA: Looks like the new Hunter legs have +73 Intellect and +80 Discipline. ETA Again: Hunters boots...

    Destiny: Bungie's next Adventure. (the old thread)

    For those of you into this sort of thing, there's a thread on Reddit saying that after the patch, Variks inventory has changed. The boots are now all Discipline instead of Strength and have Fallen perks. Don't know if this is an early access to tomorrow's reset inventory or if this is just a goof.

    Destiny: Bungie's next Adventure. (the old thread)

    I'm hoping for either a solar nova bomb-esque long range grenade or flaming fists of fury that will buff my health and speed as I go into a fiery rage. Yes, Titan blade dancers of a sort. The hunter one will be interesting. Right now Titans and locks have one offensive and one mainly defensive...

    I can't believe all the hate for my airplane head. Yes, I have trouble walking through doorways, but the stupid little upper arm knick-knack shelves that either my chest or gauntlets give me has made that a problem for a while. But you should see the Wi-Fi reception I get with that hat. I hope...

    Hey Lounge, it's been a while since I rapped at you....

    Now THAT'S how you spend a hiatus. Congrats.

    That guy is the Servant of the Hand. As part of the Dark Below DLC there's an Eris Morn story quest where you have to kill three different Servants. Doing so unleashes holy hell. Definitely not advisable for lower level players. For completeness, the other two are on the way to the Refinery...

    Destiny: Bungie's next Adventure. (the old thread)

    I can't link from here, but search Youtube for a user called MorninAfterKill and watch his latest video about this. Three hunters with CN went up against Aksor. The results are ... interesting. ETA: now with link. http://youtu.be/8X3Dp525VGE

    Great patch. The gar-on-teed key and stacking synths are huge. I'm assuming the Qodron stuff is too, but I haven't played him yet. And getting rid of some Howard Johnson tokens will be nice too.

    Yup. That's what we ended up doing.

    Destiny: Bungie's next Adventure. (the old thread)

    To quote the esteemed Mr. Solo: "Laugh it up, Fuzzball." ;) It was pleasantly surprising to learn that even though I'm approaching the half-century mark, I can still learn a creative invective or two from listening to our hunter complain when two wizzards arc bukake'd him while he was...

    Destiny: Bungie's next Adventure. (the old thread)

    We had a hunter spec'd out for invisibility, but for some reason the Boomers and Wizzards saw right through that and were pelting him mercilessly. A bunch of times we made it through Wave 2 by the luck of the draw in terms of where and how the mines spawned, but in Wave 3 that damned middle mine...

    Holy moly, but level 32 PoE was a bastard for three 32's (now 33's ;) ). Rounds 1-3 and the boss weren't bad, but that arc Hive round. Wow. We spent was too much time on that and finally tried a cheese spot. That worked flawlessly. I'm not proud of that, but it was crazy.

    Assertiveness. Do you have it? Can you learn it?

    It's a learned strategy. By nature I'm a meek introvert who'd go out of his way to let the other guy win if it meant less confrontation. But my job (adequately-paid engineer) requires me to be a bit of a hard-ass sometimes. So I learned how to act. I adopted the role of Assertive Guy (not a...

    Cancer has taken another.

    Sorry. Fuck cancer. I've learned way too much about it myself over the last year and while a lot of the news about future tests and treatments can be encouraging it's still a giant kick in the balls.

    Ding Ding Ding. Although how "Motherfucker" relates to a phone call I'm not too sure.

    Thursday Questions: Unconquered Sun Edition

    01. Out of the Greco-Roman pantheon, which deity would be your patron? I'd like to say Dionysus, but Vulcan would probably be more true. 02. Who is your favorite superhero of all time? And your least favorite? My dad. No wait, he was a total bastard. Would Vultan from the Flash Gordon movie...

    It looks like you don't need to finish the story for the new level 32 nightfall. New modifier is Brawler - guardian melee damage is increased. My Titan will punch all the things! Also arc and juggler. Weekly is the Archon Priest with Heroic and Juggler. Vanguard QM is selling a void legendary...

    It's the 4:00 a.m. thread

    And a hearty screw you to my gastro doc who insisted I had to start part two of my prep at 2:30AM. However it turns out that 4AM TV is actually pretty good.

    The NEW new "post your random thoughts/stories here" thread.

    In the first world problem category ... As people over a certain age will attest, being on a clear liquid diet for 36 hours is the pits. I can only take so much broth. And not being able to use black pepper? The worst.
