I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I assure you, I’m still here and I have a few topics spinning in my head to post on, but my time has been consumed lately by another project I am undertaking with a good friend of mine. I love podcasts and the way they allow for such diverse conversations and discussions. I’ve done Podtacular for six years and it has become a hobby, let alone a passion, of mine. TitanfallPodcast.com is home to Titancast: the Titanfall Podcast where I co-host with my friend Vanirfreyja. It is a place for us to do stuff very similar to what I do with Podtacular, writing up news articles, highlighting the community, and of course, producing the podcast. If you have the time and are interested in Titanfall, please give it a look. I’ll be back here very soon.
Dusty Bit Radio: Episode 1
This past Monday, Bungie released an infosplosion of news regarding their upcoming game, Destiny. Major media outlets have written articles about Destiny’s gameplay from hands on experience with the game after going to Bungie studios a few weeks ago. A lot of people are excited for this game coming out on September 9th of this year, including myself, but for certain reasons.
There are those who are on the “hype” train for Destiny eagerly awaiting for the full story to be told for this new universe. Destiny has made the most anticipated game of the year for a few web sites including Digital Trends, Metacritic, etc. and even making IGN’s most anticipated shooter voted on by its readers. I, however, am not on this hype train for a number of reasons, but mainly because of the lack of information that we have about the actual story behind Destiny.
Bungie have always been good story tellers and experts at making fun and immersive games from a single and multiplayer experience. While I understand the desire to keep most of the story under wraps as they let gamers realize for themselves what’s going on, there’s a lack of longing to find out the mysteries behind Destiny for me. I, myself, am not alone in my “un-hypeness” for Destiny, which instigated me starting a new show.
For my inaugural episode of the Dusty Bit Radio, I have the pleasure of having one of my good gaming friends, Mandy Paez aka. Lady Luck from Gamertag Radio to talk about our feelings on Destiny as it stands today.
