The funny thing is, "xmas" comes from the fact that Christ's name starts with X (technically, a chi) in Greek ("Χριστός"). So, it's actually not "taking the Christ out of Christmas".

Someone rammed me off a ledge (don't remember where, but it wasn't that high) with a sparrow once. We both were quite amused when I died from hitting the wall on the other side.

I had a dear friend from high school with terminal brain cancer a couple years back. She wanted to be taken off life support (it was a struggle for her to get through the day with the pain and the treatments), but her parents were against it (for religious reasons). The case ended up going up to the State Supreme…

The hard drives can run in standby mode, though. If you have the setting enabled, it will download system updates, and if you have PSN Plus, also game/application updates and upload save files, all while in standby.

They weren't "pulling" Atheon. There was a titan behind him chucking grenades at his feet (i.e. "pushing him"). It's no different than the old cheese, just pushing him off a spot where Bungie didn't put the baby bumpers (although harder because he teleports back to a safer spot now after every round).

Only dynamite punches thrown during the first OHKO you. From the 2nd round and on, nothing OHKOs you. And after the first 1:30 of the first round, he stops throwing only dynamite punches, so most of the stuff after the first 1:30 doesn't OHKO you, either.

Originally Valve wanted game creators to engage with their fans—people like you and me—in order to achieve success on Greenlight. Developers post information and updates, fans decide if they're, well, fans, and games either climb the ranks or languish in obscurity. Over the years, however, problems with the system…

Fact checked by whom, exactly? It's an official video released by Sony. I'm not sure who else could fact check.

No, neither of those things requires the other player to have PS+. The only part of this that requires the other player to have PS+ is if you play co-op (i.e. the other playing being "player 2").

I've learned from video games that every single red barrel in the entire real world explodes into a huge fireball when shot.

The L.A. Times posted the contract between Activision and Bungie. It's still up on their website.

"One question ... so other than 2 DLCS ... what is actually confirmed for after the 2 DLC expansions?"

Not necessarily that much. Destiny 1 was scheduled for 2013, Destiny 2 for 2015, and Destiny 3 for 2017, and Destiny 4 for 2019 (I'm not joking, go read the contract that the LA Times posted). There was only one expansion for each release, scheduled for 2014/2016/2018/2020, respective, with other DLC and…

It's already pretty much confirmed that the house of wolves raid will be on the Reef. That's a new playable location.

The DS3 on PC was a headache. Mostly because there were no good drivers (with bluetooth) for it. They caused me more blue screens on my comp than everything else combined. Haven't tried out the tool in the article, but hopefully it works better than the various DS3 ones did.

Which also means it's not faster than cheesing him off the edge, which can be done by the time the first teleportation even happens.

Except they didn't really kill the boss in 17 seconds, if you're counting from the beginning of the fight. Since they have times of vengeance, that means they already went through a whole cycle of the past/future teleportation thing.

They had no help. You can see in the video. All you have to do is keep the praetorians off the plates. You don't actually have to stand on them once they're active. So just run around and kill all the praetorians.

Hah, I never even considered dying intentionally to send back less than 3 people during the Atheon fight. I might have to try that next time half the party dies, to avoid a wipe.

He reached level 30 because of his other two characters, not despite them. No doubt he earned ascendant shards on his other two characters that got sent to his main to level up gear.
