[HTML1] Despite a rough patch of early marketing, in which Bungie’s upcoming sci-fi shooter accidentally created a new meme, the well-received alpha and beta tests for Destiny have console gamers eagerly awaiting the game’s September 9 release. Following the worrisome news that the game might eat up to 40 GBs of hard drive space, Activision and Bungie are in full-on marketing mode for the launch. In addition to the Planet View app reveal and the increased number of TV spots, the team also released a live-action trailer that fits right in with the tone of Michael Bay-esque summer blockbusters....

However, rather than highlight the various complaints gamers have with the game - and there are a lot - oday’s post focuses on something a little different. This video focuses on the myths of Destiny, and whether or not they are real or imaginary. Some may know the YouTube videomakers Defend the House, whose Mythbusters videos test some popular video game theories. DTH has been making videos since back in the Halo days, so it seems only fitting that they produce one for Bungie’s new game....

Activision has today revealed their recently released shooter is the biggest new video game franchise launch in history. According to the publisher, more than $500 million worth of Destiny copies (regular, Limited, and Ghost editions) have been shipped to retailers. Obviously, it’s worth pointing out that these are only “shipped” numbers and not “sold through” numbers for Destiny. For those who may not know, sold through means that a copy of a game passed through the retail chain and was sold to a consumer, while shipped means that the copy made it to retail but may not have been sold....

When does the Destiny 2 Almighty live event start? According to a tweet from the official Destiny Twitter account Friday morning, the Almighty destruction event is set to take place at 1 p.m. EDT, Saturday June 6. It doesn’t appear there will be any update required to see the event. Guardians only have to snag a spot in the Tower at the designated time to watch the event as it happens....

Destiny 2 Xur location October 30 This week Xur can be found at the Rig on Titan. Given that Titan is about to be vaulted with the launch of Beyond Light on November 10, this is probably the last time you’ll see Xur here for the foreseeable future.

Destiny 2 Xur inventory October 30 Now that you know where Xur has set up camp for the weekend, here’s a recap of all the gear he’s carrying alongside its respective stat rolls....

[HTML1] Although Diablo 3 got off to a rocky start with its fair share of launch-day problems and server connection issues, things evened out after a while. That being said, there were still many Diablo fans who considered Blizzard’s latest dungeon crawler a bit of a step back for the franchise overall. Nevertheless, Blizzard is continuing with their Diablo 3 plans undeterred — plans that include the release of the Reaper of Souls expansion early next year....

Senseless and terrifying, the double shooting is one of a series of violent incidents involving Denver-area skinheads in the past three weeks–a spate of car chases and shootings that has cops preparing for guerrilla war. On Nov. 6 police in suburban Jefferson County got into a nightlong siege with a skinhead named Jerald Dean Allen, 20. Allen and an accomplice then broke out, triggering a half-hour car chase in which Allen allegedly fired more than 20 rounds at pursuing cops before he was captured....

Professional wrestling business can be addictive, and when you know that your time is over, you have trouble moving on with your life. Some of the greatest names in the business have had that trouble, to have been in the spotlight for the majority of their careers, and hence having issues moving on.

When the Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment in 2009 - to the tune of $4.64 billion, no less - is was clear that the entertainment corporation was making a smart investment. After all, comic book movies were only growing more and more popular at the time, thanks to the recent releases of Iron Man and The Dark Knight, and Marvel’s many brands offered almost limitless potential for film franchise development, multimedia entertainment and of course, merchandise....

Time was of the essence as the Red Devils were 1-0 down at Old Trafford after Paul Pogba’s handball allowed James Milner to break the deadlock, prompting the Portuguese coach to get creative with his line-up. Mourinho: Point flattered Liverpool In the 76th minute, Italy international defender Darmian was hauled off and Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini thrown on in his place. The shuffling resulted in Henrikh Mkhitaryan being asked to fill in as a makeshift left-back to allow others to cause havoc in the final third....

DOOM Eternal Hands-On The most important aspect of DOOM is how fun and manageable it is to play as the Doom Slayer. He’s just as powerful and spry as ever, able to switch between guns with the flick of a button that briefly slows down time. The weapon roster includes a traditional combat shotgun, plasma rifle and rocket launcher that have been part of the series since its pixelated days. Mods can be found in locations around the game world that allow you to upgrade one aspect of your weapon, like sticky grenades for your shotgun or a focused laser beam for the Plasma Rifle....

[HTML2] While the premise for Destiny has thus far centred around the last human city on Earth, Bungie has expanded the universe just a little by taking gameplay to the Moon in a new trailer. Confirming Destiny isn’t going to be earthbound and that it will feature a little space travel, even if it is just to our closest neighbor, should be exciting for those who thought one city might have struggled to keep environments fresh....

The clip opens on Mars, as Osiris approaches the Warmind AI known as Rasputin. He essentially insults him a few times by calling him a “thug, murderer [and] betrayer” based on what he’s witnessed in time travel through the Infinite Forest. Osiris further describes Destiny 2’s ongoing feud between darkness and light and asks Rasputin which side of the war he’s truly on. While the dialogue itself sounds like fighting words, there’s a sense Osiris might be willing to make an unlikely partnership or double down against a strong adversary....

Speaking to reporters after the third ODI here, India’s assistant coach Sanjay Bangar said late on Friday: “We will have some changes in the last two games. Dhoni will not be playing in the last two games. He will be taking rest.” In the absence of the experienced stumper, Rishabh Pant, who is a part of the current Indian squad, has become an automatic choice for the two ODIs as no replacement was named for Dhoni....

There are few games properties that could be in development for as long as Diablo 3 has been without enraging the loyal fans, but this is no ordinary franchise. Every major MMO developer has learned the hard way that it’s nearly impossible to take a bite out of World of Warcraft’s player population, yet Blizzard themselves acknowledge that Diablo 3 will do just that. We won’t make any similar predictions just yet, but from the newly leaked footage of the Diablo 3 Beta, it’s clear that the sleek and simplistic interfaces the company has become known for are alive and well in the newest installment....

It marks the second time an unbeaten Group of 5 team has played in the bowl in seven years — and the Bearcats will try to maintain their unbeaten season against the in-state Bulldogs. It should be an exciting matchup that generates storylines about the G5’s role in the College Football Playoff structure. Behind the scenes, however, there is a different kind of game day preparation, one that started with the disappointment created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the United States....

Considering the fact that Dishonored retailed at $60, The Knife of Dunwall is comparably a pretty good deal at $9.99. The DLC consists of three missions (Dishonored has nine) set in two expansive new maps (plus a map recycled from the main campaign), contains about 4-6 hours of gameplay in total, and is the first of a two-part story that will conclude in The Brigmore Witches. Together, the two pieces of DLC are best described as ‘Dishonored 1....

Dedicated collectors who regularly line up hours in advance for the latest toys-to-life figures should brace themselves for the next wave of Disney Infinity figures. A recent retailer leak has revealed that the Disney Infinity 3.0 starter set will focus on Star Wars. The German retailer Saturn has mistakenly leaked information about the next set of Disney Infinity figures online, and this starter set’s subject is Star Wars. Given the anticipation for the new Star Wars films and the upcoming Battlefront game, it’s no surprise that Disney would choose to target that fandom next....
