That’d be great, you know? Read more

I’ve played a thousand hours or something and have gotten one (1) Gjallarhorn and zero (0) Hawkmoons. Aside from two of the Elder Cipher guns, Hawkmoon is the only exotic weapon I don’t have. Like... the only reason I do Vault at this point is because that one chest has a good chance of dropping a Hawkmoon. I should… Read more

The key word there is optional. I’m glad to play the weekly with randoms, but I still wish matchmaking were optional! Read more

In fairness to Bungie, a lot of the updates to Destiny—the improved upgrade system, new vanguard gear, improved interface, matchmaking, app integration, various balance patches, etc—were added to the game for free. You have to buy the expansions to get the expansion missions/vendors/etc, but Bungie deserves some credit… Read more

That’s true! I’ll add a little note mentioning the jukebox. Not exactly a revolutionary addition, but still... it’s something. Read more

Yeah, this is my PVE build. In PVP on my Titan I’ve got 100% (or near) Int/Disc, so I’m good. Read more

Yeah, that is annoying. Oils should be above Decoctions! I actually just put most of my Decoctions in my stash because I never use them. I wonder if anyone actually uses them... Read more

That’s a good way to play! I hear from so many people who are taking their time with it. Read more

Gotta take this shit seriously. Read more

Good point. Read more

Tales from the Borderlands, probably. Or maybe Life is Strange? Two episodic games! Also Invisible, Inc. I knew they had a good template, but I didn’t expect to love the finished game as much as I do. Read more

1) I studied jazz saxophone performance in college, then spent a bunch of years working as a musician in San Francisco. It was a weird route that brought me to Kotaku - I found all these smart people writing about games and thought “You know, I could do that!” I think that understanding music really helped my stuff… Read more

Are you asking if we dislike Vampire Bats? I don’t like bats. Most of our commenters are fine. What does blood have to do with this. Read more

There is No One Lives Forever, which is the only “Archer” video game the world will ever need. Read more

It’s a good gun and I get why lots of people want it, it’s just... kinda not all that, you know? It’s decent for PvP but I doubt I’ll use it over my exotic HCs, and on a solar burn I’d rather just use Vision of Confluence. I don’t mean to spit on the fact that I got lucky and got a sought-after gun, though - that’s… Read more

Also all-Warlock teams with everyone rocking Light Beyond Nemesis and Radiance! AKA the most fucking annoying team possible. Read more

Hah, that is awesome. I’ve kept an eye out to see if we come up against on any well-known streamers, but none yet. We did take on a bunch of Primeguard players in the last Iron Banner, and they ran this insane multi-Titan-bubble strat and mopped the floor with us. It was great, as floor-moppings go. Read more

Fuck yeah you are. Read more
