A Duel Between Two Destiny Snipers

This battle between snipers goes through many stages, all of them hilarious.

I’m Finally Starting To Like It When The PS4 Controller Talks

Ever since I started playing games on my PS4, one thing about the console’s controller has always stood out to me. It makes a lot of noise.
