God Rolls - SIVA Season, Snyder Cut, Black Panther
This was a pretty insane week across the board for stuff I cover
Good lord, what a week. This was probably the busiest I’ve been in a single week since the fall November rush. Tons of game developments, superheroes everywhere. Wild times. But I got through it all and actually managed to cover everything I wanted to.
What I’m Playing: Destiny 2, where I actually played Trials this week to get an Igneous Hammer since it was an easy drop. Genshin Impact’s Windblume event, and some amount of time with Hawkeye’s arrival in Avengers.
What I’m Watching: Falcon and the Winter Soldier premiere, which I thought was great! Servant season finale and of course, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, all in one sitting. I’m a convert.
Definitely subscribe to God Rolls if you’re just seeing this post by itself!
Itttttt’s recap time:
Destiny 2
Destiny 2’s ‘Plague Gang’ Is Trying To Manifest A SIVA Season - Destiny fans want SIVA to come back so badly a bunch of them have gotten together for probably the biggest player-led project I’ve ever seen. And there’s a chance Bungie may end up doing a SIVA season for real.
The ‘Destiny 2’ Eyes Of Tomorrow Drop Rate Conspiracy Theories Were Correct - If you haven’t gotten an Eyes of Tomorrow drop from DSC yet after dozens of clears, guess what? There really was a bug.
The God Rolls Of Destiny 2’s Elusive Playlist Exclusive Weapons - A god rolls post for the God Rolls newsletter. Seems on point. Focused on the very rare playlist weapons this time around, which just had a drop rate buff (a small one).
Other Games
First ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ 1.2 Patch Info Reveals Police AI, Driving Changes And More - We finally got our first drips of information about the coming March patch in Cyberpunk 2077, which will change police AI, but I’m not exactly impressed so far.
Yes, ‘Outriders’ Will Debut On Xbox Game Pass, But With A Catch - I legitimately can’t believe that Outriders is going to be on Game Pass, which they announced with barely two weeks to go until launch. Wild.
‘Marvel’s Avengers’ Doubles Down With Black Panther Expansion, Full Roadmap - Avengers showed up in a big way this week with a full six month long roadmap and the promise of a Black Panther expansion this fall. But will it be enough to get players engaged? Also Hawkeye launched this week and I did a video about that further down below.
I’m Getting Extremely Tired Of My PS5’s Nonsense - Well this one got me yelled at a lot but the process to transfer my PS4 data to PS5 for Avengers really got me appreciating Xbox Smart Delivery a whole lot more, I’ll say that. And other things have been irking me about the system for a while now.
TV/Movies
What ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Fixed Most Noticeably - Alright I watched it. I liked it. And I could clearly pull out a number of ways Snyder was able to salvage Justice League from the original Whedon/WB cut.
‘Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Review: Thanks, I Hate Him - The premiere is here and things are less weird than WandaVision and more like a normal MCU movie. And something shakes up the whole MCU by the end of the episode. Read only if you’ve watched already.
The ‘Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’ Movie Gets A US Release Date, And New Trailer - I know there are some Demon Slayer fans out there, and now we finally know when the long-awaited movie that broke records in Japan is making its way to the US.

My full review of Hawkeye and his Future Imperfect campaign, which was probably not worth waiting three months for:
Made a new sidearm build for my Hunter now that Brass Attacks is a thing in Season of the Chosen and I love it:

I was indeed on Fireteam Chat this week to talk about GMs and other stuff. Destin is back!
Destin and I also have a new show we’re doing called PvD where we talk and argue about stuff that will probably not be Destiny most of the time. Here’s our first show about Anthem’s death:
And now who you’ve all been waiting for, a corgi in sugar heaven:
