Destiny 2 Weekend Update – September 6, 2019
Did you miss me? Now that PAX is over and done with and I’m back from vacation, I’m getting back to grips with Destiny 2. We’re still a few weeks off from Shadowkeep, thank god — I’m elated that I won’t be trying to play it and Borderlands 3 simultaneously. In the meantime, though, Bungie…

Destiny 2 Weekend Update – August 23, 2019
As summer winds down, so too does the Solstice of Heroes in Destiny 2. To be honest, I thought I was done with the game until Shadowkeep. I’ve got my MMXIX title and getting Raid armor seems pointless when Armor 2.0 is so close. But then Bungie goes and announces this Community Challenge and…
