Ep 129 - Failsafe
Sunday Apr 29, 2018
Sunday Apr 29, 2018
This week, the team travels to 7066 Nessus to get to know a bit more about that crazy AI vendor, Failsafe. At the start, however, we dive a bit into our initial thoughts and opinions (and a bit of a response to some more obvious thoughts) on the recent reveal of the upcoming DLC for Destiny 2, Warmind. After that, we jump out of the game world for a bit to explain some scientific facts about Nessus - to better understand what makes this place a little more important than it might seem on the surface. After going through a basic introduction of Failsafe, as well as some of the hints that we have about her origin, the team also takes a closer look at some of the lore entries for more insight into Failsafe's character.
As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen! Please be sure to let us know how we're doing over on iTunes or through the below email.

Ep 128 - Benedict 99-40
Sunday Apr 15, 2018
Sunday Apr 15, 2018
This week, the team returns to the Tower to examine the mysterious frame known as Benedict 99-40 - a subject which admittedly is pretty sparse on details. However, there is a fair amount to be gleaned from the information that we have managed to gather so far concerning Frames in general within the world of Destiny...though you'll notice that this episode is a bit shorter than normal. Blame Blue for that. And remember - Embrace his name! All glory to the Emperor!
As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen! Please be sure to let us know how we're doing over on iTunes or through the below email. Note as well that we are going to be taking next week off, so there isn't a Question for you all to look for this week - but we will be sure to get one up before the stream on April 27th.

Extra Lore 25 - Monster Hunter (ft. MyNameIsByf)
Monday Apr 09, 2018
Monday Apr 09, 2018
This installment of the Extra Lore series takes the team to a world where players are invited to experience the ultimate hunting experience - a world full of monsters that are as amazingly fascinating as they are dangerous. The Monster Hunter series revolves around nature & discusses the search for balance within this new world - indeed, this balance with nature is one of, if not the, most important themes of the series' story. However, this series is largely portrayed visually - which, while this medium presents an awesome sense of immersion to the game, it also makes detailed critical analysis frustrating at times. Much of the information in this series is gained through inference of the material offered.

Ep 127 - Asher Mir
Sunday Apr 01, 2018
Sunday Apr 01, 2018
This week, we're visiting the moon of Io to spend some time with everyone's favorite grumpy Awoken Warlock - Asher Mir. The team chats about not just the history of the Gensym Scribe we met back in Destiny 1, but also the underlying nature of the Vex given some of the new information from this week's 1.1.4 update (known as the "Go Fast Update" to many in the community) and even gets into a few tangents about memory, Ikora and her troubled relationship with her Ghost, and why Beard feels so connected to Asher. Also there is a bit of a debate on, given the changes in the game, who now has the better "jump" between the hosts.
