Ok here’s some fun inside baseball. The story behind this story, if you will. So at around 5pm I emailed an Activision PR rep to give them a courtesy heads up that I’d heard from sources about this news — both the cosmetic microtransactions and free DLC. I asked if they’d like to comment and told them we’d be…

...and remands the case to the Kirkland Municipal Court

nice knowing everyone!

You know what? I liked Garden State and I kind of loved the soundtrack. You know what else I liked? (500) Days of Summer.

Relax, Natalie. People hate The Phantom Menace way more than they hate Garden State.

Why do we never get to see the after-effects of Venom Snake’s big revelation?

Absolutely! I still can’t believe people were up in arms a few days ago because Bungie didn’t give a specific date for the raid. Now those people look like idiots for not just waiting to see.

Yeah, it all looks great. I can’t think of a story in video game history more fascinating than the evolution of Destiny over the past few years.

So far I have seen absolutely nothing about the Taken King that doesn’t look awesome - and that stream-exclusive raid teaser was a nice touch! I haven’t been this excited for a game since Halo 2. That says a lot, because I was 20 when Halo 2 came out, and far more excitable for such things. I actually took time off…

So glad they are finally doing swords now.

I feel like you really do need to know my Threes score, tho

I didn’t own an NES or a SNES, didn’t have a GameCube or a PlayStation, and certainly never owned a Dreamcast. As a result, I was absent during the heyday of the Japanese role-playing game.

Pure genius! Laughing out loud! :D

Ok that’s a lie. No one ever gets good drops for doing well in Crucible.
