Coming up for a title for this episode was a bit tough, but the overall feel is that Destinys feeling a bit underwhelming on multiple fronts these days. Can The Taken King change that? We discuss that, weapons balance (lol), microtransations, PvP and PvE lag, and the slow drip of information that Bungie things is sufficient.

John Waldraff

I\'m not going to lie, film is what I love. I can talk about it all day. I also appreciate art, and that\'s where I see games. I\'m no authority on the history of gaming, but I certainly have appreciated a good story and fantastic gameplay. I love how a good game brings friends together. I represent the casual player, and during my podcasts don\'t be surprised when games become a movie discussion.
