God Rolls - Trials Drama, Deathloop GOTY And GTA Vs Cyberpunk

Big week for hot takes

Sep 20, 2021

Welcome to a uhhh 24 hour late version of God Rolls because I definitely forgot yesterday was Sunday. But never fear! There’s still plenty to recap and go over as we gear up for a very busy fall, despite a myriad of delays.

What I’m Playing: Another fun weekend of Destiny Trials, where this time it took a team of Swedes to carry me flawless. Solo queue went…less good. Also I took a break from live service and played a ton of Deathloop, which I enjoyed.

What I’m Watching: Emmy-winner Ted Lasso, though I don’t like this season as much as most people. I did all of the new season of Sex Education and the extremely wild Squid Game on Netflix. I also did Malignant on HBO Max.

Now, onto the recap:

Destiny

Why 2021 Has Been Destiny 2’s Most Impressive Year To Date - Seriously, take a look back at this past year of Destiny, even without an expansion, and be impressed.

Here’s The ‘Destiny 2’ Season Of The Lost Roadmap, Kind Of - Destiny finally got a roadmap for Season of the Lost, but Bungie is being more vague than usual.

How To Get ‘Destiny 2’ Exotic Ager’s Scepter, With All Quest Steps - Ager’s Scepter went live this week with a somewhat dull quest, but the gun is hilarious and fun.

Destiny 2’s Trials Success Shows Bungie Should Never Have Taken Its Eye Off PvP - I think Trials going this well really proves that Bungie waited too long to devote attention to PvP again.

Other Games
