Destiny 2 Lied To Players About End Of Game Experience Point Gains

I’ve been meaning to write in detail about Destiny 2 for a while now – I’ve been playing the game pretty regularly and heavily the past month or so and have been enjoying myself quite a bit.  One thing that I noticed but didn’t think about is that at the end of the game, once …

Why I’m Not Buying An Xbox One X – For Now, Anyway

Today, November 7th, marks the release day for the Xbox One X, a console I’ve been waiting years for.

The Future Of Nintendo

Ah, Nintendo. The most darling of gaming companies to most any gamer, especially one born between about 1980 and 1995. Nintendo brought gaming back in the United States after the video game crash, and it never really went away. While I’ve, rather hilariously, had people in the past at places I’ve worked seem surprised to …

The Nintendo Wii Shop Is Shutting Down In 2019
