Or some kid of space station orbiting. A mining facility in the rings would be pretty cool.

I love that Mercury map. It's like a glorious tease.

Oh, I'm aware that the current DLC doesn't include any new planets. I'm just hoping for some down the line. I plan on being in Destiny for a while.

This isn't too surprising, other than that we actually saw a lot of what got cut or changed. From the level of polish on the gameplay in Destiny and the time and money they spent I'm sure they went through a number of ideas and designs that made it to various levels of completion. That's the basic pattern on any…

Excellent. I did this with Destiny on the 360/One and it's been good, not from an upgrade standpoint, but to game with my friends who haven't upgraded yet. Once they all upgrade I really have no use for a 360 version.

I think there were far too many people who are used to their being a "quick" way to get what they're after. I put quick in quotes because Destiny definitely takes a very slow burn approach to leveling. They don't dole out much loot, and the most reliable ways to level require actually playing the game and missions…

I've been there. Dating while having health issues is draining in ways that are hard to understand. I have an auto-immune disorder (Crohn's Disease - there's been some recent debate on if it should be classified as such, but I'm going to sidestep that), which has waxed and waned from "nearly killing me" to "not on…

I spent two hours last night trying to kill Mugkruk Ghast Hunter (or something to that effect). I died about a dozen times in the process, so he was a "legendary" orc by the time I finally caught him away from his attending hoard. He'd started as just one of a mob of orcs that I foolishly tried to take on while low…

I've already discovered the "Don't rush into a large group of ranked orcs" rule. I thought "Oh I'm pretty good at the Arkham games and this seems about the same." I got my head crushed.

I just picked up the New Monarchy sigil-thingy. I liked the gear they had the best, now I just need the rep. I figure the legendaries will come with enough time spent, and I'm really enjoying spending time in Destiny so far. One of my clan-mates got a legendary rocket launcher from a random drop last night, so I…

Awesome. Thanks for the tips. I've been playing a mix of crucible and single player, with a focus on the bounties I can collect. Hitting the public events on Earth is a good idea I haven't tried much (moved on from Earth when the other planets opened up).

Thanks. That's good to know. I got one of those packages, but didn't know why (turned out to be three blues).

I haven't even found a purple engram yet. I've made it to level 22, but I'm maxed out until I can find some armor better than rare. I've done a bit of everything (Crucible, Strikes, Story Missions, Patrols), but apparently don't have the engram luck I need. Oh well, I'm enjoying the game a lot so no real problem.

I'm a complete fan of the three-man squads. Granted, I'm not coming from an MMO background, but just basic console co-op (usually ranging from 2-4 players). I've got a core group of around 5-6 friends that game on a regular basis. We all have kids, jobs, other interests, so finding a time we can all game together…

My first army was an Imperial Guard army, back during 4th edition. I was doing a hoard list, so I painted many, many, many little army men, and a good dozen tanks. I moved away from hoard lists for a while with my beloved Blood Angels army and some Grey Knights, but now I'm working on a 400+ model Tyranid army. I…

Having painted a number of those Imperial Guard Stormtroopers (or I guess it's now the Astra Militarum), that is some excellent details work on that cosplay. Even the pose is about the same as the old stormtrooper models. Kudos.

I come from a background in political campaigns, so both rational and unhinged debate are no stranger to me. I've watched Sarkeesian's videos, and I've agreed and disagreed with things she's said or pointed out. Therein lies a distinction that many of the more "unhinged" don't want, or don't care to make: it's fine…

Wired is looking at solid data, but drawing the wrong conclusions. First off it's an imperfect comparison because people play games vastly differently than they watch movies. Even the shallowest games have more than 2 hours of gameplay (if they're worth playing at all). Even the quick, throw away games I'll get…

I collected political memorabilia. My collection is small, but I have a few pieces of note and buttons dating back to the 1900 Presidential race. The prize pieces in my collection: I have a small caricature bust of Eisenhower. It was an odd piece that I couldn't find any information for online. I finally contacted…
