Riley, Brody, and Duncan discuss games.

In this episode we talk about the new Destiny update and how it's not actually The Taken King, even though it seems to have labelled itself as such. Also, I get more than a little confused by all of the different categorisations and terminology used in the game.

We also talk about the recently released Disney Infinity 3.0 and ask the big questions:
1. Is it actually any different to the previous games, Star Wars theme not considered, and
2. How much stuff are you going to have to buy in order to finish the game.

Riley, Brody, and Duncan discuss games.

In this episode we talk about the Minecraft factions server, Desteria; the seemingly long term -- though hopefully not permanent -- situation with the Spore server shutdown; "level up gauntlets" and more etiquette in Destiny; and the grippingly joyous and chaotic nightmare that is Helldivers.

Riley, Brody, and Duncan discuss games.

In this episode we discuss the seemingly remarkable longevity of Spore; social etiquette in Destiny; and my personal excitement for the impending releases of XCOM 2 and No Mans Sky. We also learn that, apparently, DLC and clone-like sequels are all a developer needs to keep a young audience tethered to their IP.
