King's Fall loot is a disgrace. My raid group stopped running it after three weeks (nine runs) left us with three of the exact same armour pieces-- aside from Qullim's Terminus, the weapons are all mediocre at best. Loot drops from Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner are much better.

Look for a sherpa. The best PvE content - high-level strikes, and the raids - are best enjoyed with a good fireteam. The official Destiny sub, r/destinythegame, has a big thread every week for people in your situation.

I don't celebrate Christmas, but always buy gifts for loved ones who do-- no stockings and goofy sweaters for me. My girlfriend had one designed with a dancing Drake and pixelated jewellery. The Hotline Bling video is a fabulous disaster, and will probably provide cheap laughs for a good while.

Correct. The portable edition has a lot of changes.

The Beatles' popularity works against them-- their albums have been re-issued numerous times, so the demand is met by available supply. A collector's package for a record can be quite good. Premium gatefold covers, coloured vinyl, and custom sleeves can add a special touch to the product. Most...

Not exactly true. I own dozens - possibly hundreds - of records from the 60s and 70s that eclipse basically any Beatles release's value on the open market.The most notable exception would be the original 'butcher' release of Yesterday and Today. Sometimes, if a contemporary artist samples an old...

At least the combat isn't as frustrating as Persona 3. I can't tell you how many times AI allies would routinely fail to exploit a weaknessA high-level enemy is weak against fire, so your genius friend casts Mudoon instead of Agidyne., causing the entire party to wipe after the enemy's next attack.

I agree with everything you said, but there's a wee bit too much anime titty for my liking.

Somewhere in Hong Kong, Play-Asia employees are shaking their heads at the cretins who have been engaging in a spot of recreational outrage. I can hear them now, muttering "white people..." This could end up being another Protein World situation, as everybody knows that weebs love throwing...

I bought the game on sale, and played through the entire campaign in co-op with my girlfriend. (mopped up trophies on my own) We had a blast. It was like an interactive TV mini-series.

In a ball sport, you are taught to play to the whistle. A competitive fighter is taught to keep swinging until the referee stops the fight-- never leave a bout in the judges' hands, as they could have been asleep the whole time. Few people have the raw power to score a Mark Hunt 'walk-away'...

I had a similar experience transitioning from CS to Battlefied 4, then over to Destiny. Sniper rifles have basically zero scope sway in the latter game. It is ridiculously easy to pre-scope and win single engagements by head-glitching opponents as they step into a lane. CS actually requires some...

Will Ice-T read on Kotaku that it's better than Civ V with the Brave New World expansion pack?

Youtubers have been showing off some of the emotes overnight. I can't wait to do the Carlton dance after shooting somebody's face off in Trials of Osiris this weekend. Teabaggers will get the slow clap.

Right now, a wild card slot isn't out of the question. I'd love to see my Raiders win the AFC West, but that may be a year or two away. Latavius Murray's form has highlighted how ridiculous it was for the team to lean so heavily on Mojo and McFadden last season, when there was this talented...
