Gave Destiny another try. Why, oh why did I try?
Because one of my friends wanted to help me try to get Fatebringer, a great handcannon only available from the Templar in the Venus raid, I gave Destiny another shot. I recruited another friend who has yet to get a Gjallarhorn rocket launcher, so she hoped to get it from the Gorgon maze chest. As…

Loving Dragon Age: Inquisition, trying Borderlands on PS4, avoiding Destiny
So last week, when Bungie announced that they were going to adjust weapons yet again (read “nerf” for the good ones), I sent a snarky tweet that I would have more time to play other games. Well, I mean it. I’ve avoided Destiny since then and will not play much. I’m not specifically upset about…

A couple of relaxing evenings playing Destiny
After last week’s rush to experience all the new things in Destiny’s second DLC expansion, I’ve been taking it easy this week, which means I’m more relaxed and less stressed while playing. For the last two nights, I’ve been playing with a friend from LOTRO (and her husband one of the evenings). We’ve just been…

Some success in Destiny’s Iron Banner tournament
I’m not very good at Player versus Player (PvP) gaming. The only time I was pretty good at it was back in the Unreal and Unreal Tournament days. These days, I avoid PvP, except Destiny won’t let you get away with that. First, three of the five exotic bounties (that give nifty exotic weapons: Thorn,…

Tried to PUG the Destiny Weekly Strike
A couple days ago, when few of my PSN friends were online and the ones what were playing Destiny were busy, I tried to PUG the Weekly Strike at the hardest level. For those that don’t play MMOs, a PUG is a “pick up group,” essentially some randoms that you play a mission with. Since…

Destiny Flawed Raider
So there is an achievement in Destiny called “Flawless Raider,” which is earned when all members of your fireteam complete a raid without dying. This is not a thing that I ever aspire to do, because I tend to die a lot. That being said, I have done the raids a few times. The first…

Getting into LOTRO again
I’ve been trying to break my Destiny addition, or at least tone it down to just a habit, so I can play other games. I bought Gat out of Hell (along with Saints Row IV) for PS4 and have played that a bit. I have many other games that need playing, too, but the pull…

Destiny’s Dark Below DLC puts tension back into the game
While Destiny’s new DLC, The Dark Below, has created a lot of controversy (the Reddit forums are aflame with burning hatred, whiners, apologists, etc.), I pre-ordered it anyway (because I enjoy the game, even though it is infuriating). I started it last night on my level 29 Warlock. The first missions, given to us by…

GTA V for PS4 is pretty fun
I bought Grand Theft Auto V for PS4 before release day, but haven’t really played it much until Thanksgiving weekend. I have all the previous GTA games on Steam and have played bits of them, but never really got into them. I liked the look of GTA IV, but didn’t enjoy beating up shopkeepers, so…

Destiny is Rage Inducing
Is Destiny like an abusive relationship? I ask myself, nearly every day, why I keep coming back to Destiny. I have lots of great games and are more meaningful than Destiny or look like lots of fun (GTA V, Infamous Second Son and First Light), yet I keep coming back for more Destiny. I suppose…
