    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    As someone who has played since beta on the 360 and just started playing on the PS4… Holy Cats! Why didn't anyone tell me the game could be this fast or this well-populated. Now I just need to find a raid group.

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    It's questionable how much of an advantage the cheese gives you, but it does make things go a little smoother. For the cheese, the designated totem holder equips a sword (not sure if it needs to be exotic). While blocking using LT (and holding it), they enter the deadly mist on the way to the...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    The totem room would've been a pain, but we had two excellent totem holders using the cheese so the other four of us concentrated on wizards and knights, let the occasional thrall (i.e. ammo delivery service) down to the plates. It was totally worth it for the 304 (in)fusion rifle I got...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    Life's Little Victories: So we ran hard mode KF for the first time last night, got as far as the Warpriest. The part I was dreading was the Hive ship jumping puzzle. Being a)a Titan, b)old, and c)me it's always been a pain. We won't even go into the penis piston puzzle. Needless to say, me and...

    RIP: Glenn Frey (the Eagles, etc.)

    Glenn was 67 and the drummer from Mott the Hoople also just died at 67. If I was 65 I'd be worried next week.

    Nice to have features for kitchen & bath

    Unicorns who seem to poop soft-serve ice cream.

    Nice to have features for kitchen & bath

    A really good kitchen sink is a must. After much debating I picked an extra-deep single Kohler model and never looked back. Although not ideal from a bowel alignment perspective, chair-height pottys are a godsend for those of us who creak when getting up. And of course get the oval ones if'n...

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    We did that last week too. I'm not gonna lie, I got a little excited. It's so great to finally look at my quest screen and see only the Redbull quest and finally have no triangles on the director screen. So of course I started a warlock.

    RIP: Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams)

    It's a poor reference to an old Eddie Izzard joke about how women of a certain age get a gran coat and a cake on top of their head.

    RIP: Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams)

    Oh yeah. The surviving early R&R and Woodstock people are all approaching cake-hat time.

    Man, someone's got a quota to fill. Yet Abe Vigoda lives...

    The Hunt for Achievement Trophies

    Sometimes achievements get me to play a game for longer than I might have, or to collect a few missing things that I ordinarily would've given up on. Sometimes I just like the silly achievements (landing on an Imperial ship while playing as Lando in Lego Star Wars gives the Land-o Calrissian...

    RIP Alan Rickman :(

    So is Donald Trump. But his health is the bestest anyone's ever had. Curry better not be next.

    RIP Alan Rickman :(

    69 must be the new age of Carousel. Roger Rees died earlier this year. Maybe this is a bad year to have played the Sheriff of Nottingham.

    RIP David Bowie

    I might have to go buy Blackstar now. If he's been battling cancer (fuck cancer by the way) for 18 months then this is probably a self-aware swan song.

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    We tried that, but for some reason only got credit for Mortar Bro and not Slam Bro. Had to quickly run it again and only focus on Slammy.

    Destiny 2: The Final Shape

    Oryx was being weird last night. The ogres occasionally were doing their Usain Bolt impressions, even though we weren't trying the challenge we would get a first round shade instead of the bombs about half the time, and Oryx's health would go down about 10% after four bombs and then another 40%...

    THAT'S NO MOON, THAT'S A STAR WARS DISCUSSION (potential spoilers)

    Hope Solo was killed by Ron Swanson? Man, this expanded universe is complex.

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

    I went to college in New Hampshire during the run up to the 1984 and 1988 elections. You couldn't walk around campus without tripping over Jesse Jackson or (not Rhymin') Paul Simon.

    You detonate all 16 at once at the end. Add control is going to be so important...
