Why I Stopped Playing Destiny 2
Long time readers may recall I was pretty big on Destiny 2 last year, playing it pretty regularly and sometimes writing about it here where I felt it relevant. By about May of 2018, though, I just stopped, and haven’t really fired the game back up at all since that time. I figured it’d be …

So I’ve Been Playing Quite A Bit Of Titanfall 2 Lately
It’s funny, for a blog with a moderate focus on gaming I don’t actually write about my own time playing games all that often. That’s quite probably due to the fact that I rarely actually spend that much time actually playing games – sometimes taking breaks spanning multiple months between times when I’ll seriously fire …

The Atari 2600 Turns 40!
In a bit of news from yesterday that, out of respect for the date I waited until today to share, the Atari Video Computer System (better known as the Atari 2600) was released 40 years ago yesterday, September 11th. The Atari 2600 is one of the most historic consoles in gaming, to be sure. Not …

First Thoughts On Destiny 2
Last night I snagged Destiny 2, in my case on the Xbox One. As I have mentioned a bit before, I genuinely enjoyed the first Destiny, and its expansions. While I didn’t do much in the way of strikes and raids, I did enjoy the main game for what it was, the world, the settings, …

This is the first trailer I’ve watched for Destiny 2 since it’s announcement earlier this year, and all I have to say is, I like what I see. I genuinely enjoyed Destiny, for what it was worth to me, and while I do feel the game had some major flaws in both it’s own design, …
