And the final countdown..we are less than 12 hours away from Destiny. So here's a picture of this guy:

His name is The Fanatic. His birth name is probably Ted or something.

The Fanatic is a sCORN, a new enemy brethren in the game. They're cool.


Pictured Above: Ted, a corn enemy, awaiting Fall Harvest.

And here's a picture of his superpower:


Pictured Above: What he will become if he fails to defeat the guardians: just another corncob holder.

Everybody log in on Tuesday. Today. Cosmic today.

I spent like twenty minutes on the first one, the very end where you fight a yellow bar boss who summons wave after wave of help made me absolutely nuts

You're playing More Trash Waves: The Game, so I dunno what to tell you.

good night, speedfriend

Anything I should be doing at the last minute? Will I still be able to obtain the planetary items/armor in Forsaken with my current tokens (like, say Mars tokens)?

I know this is a stupid question but I swear I did look around for an answer, and it is mildly time sensitive.

i just saw a fairly large list of armor perks, so it's at least looking like there's going to be stuff to chase. part of the fun in d1 to me was using cool armor combos to make gimmick weapons work, so i'm excited to be able to do that again.

Since we're all massive nerds and can't wait, I made a countdown timer that I've spammed all over all discords. Enjoy putting it on your second screen, IT dashboards, TV in the living room, your sisters phone, I don't care really.

Oh yes, it is shoddy, much like the first release of Destiny. We're used to it.

I was me in 2027 that I invented Time Travel Tourism.

People, from all around the world, travel to places where the biggger disasters would happen: The earthquake of Lisbon, The burning of the Library of Alexandry, The Tunguska Accident, Chernobil and The Release of Destiny 2 Colon Forsaken.

So take a chair, relax, and lets have fun togueter :D

If Uldren Sov really kills Cayde during this expansion I hope the main quest is about slaughtering tons of aliens to locate and reach the man and then shake his hand.

I think as usual we are all going to be disappointed by the story content, but I'm cautiously optimistic about the end game stuff. It all sounds pretty cool.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Here's to the new us.

i'll give you some loving lore

If you're new to Destiny or just haven't given a poo poo previously, you may be surprised to know that despite the naff in-game stories, the lore of Destiny is pretty expansive and deep. Unfortunately, its all scattered across Grimoire cards and Lore entries and tough to piece together. Here's help with that!

Myelin Games is the foremost Destiny lore YouTuber. His videos cover an expansive range of topics and he's clear and interesting with his speculation and explanations. Notably, he's good enough that Bungie actually hired him to put together a physical copy of the Grimoire. He just posted a timeline of the Destiny universe aimed at new players.

For completion's sake, I'll also link My_name_is_Byf. He's the other major Destiny lore YouTuber. At least among goons, he's not as well-liked as Myelin for his tendency to have meandering videos and poor speculation.

Destinypedia is the most complete wiki for Destiny. It includes lots of links and articles about lore as well as about actual game mechanics and items. Be warned that as of the API dump, people have started posting untagged spoilers for Forsaken, so be careful if you fall down a wiki hole.

Ishtar Collective is the entire Destiny 1 Grimoire as well as the Lore cards from Destiny 2, all searchable by topic and heavily cross-linked in a really slick interface. Its explanations aren't as thorough as Destinypedia's, but if you want to see the actual raw lore, this is the place to find it.

Also, goon General_Battuta aka Seth Dickinson is one of the writers for Bungie and worked on The Taken King and now Forsaken. He might be willing to answer questions, but don't be weird or creepy please.

Finally, if you only read one piece of Destiny lore, make it the Books of Sorrow. The Books were added in The Taken King and detail the rise of Oryx and the Hive. In addition to just being really well-written science-fantasy, they tell a lot about the philosophical underpinnings of the Darkness and include loads of potential foreshadowing. Read them, they're really good.

Byf recently made a video in which he said that forsaken was exactly like that episode in battlestar galactica in which the pegasus shows up. It's an amazingly bad analogy and he just keeps going.

This is more a friend of a friend story.

So there's this guy, he meet Bungie in a airport. Cool guy. Nice sweet fast talk.

So he was about to pick the taxi, then checking the wallet, he was 70$ down. I am not saying this guy Bungie took the 70$, but...

If I where you, I would check my wallet for a 70$ size hole in it.
