This Week's TWAB At Bungie is somewhat light. They recap this weeks earlier "Reflection" post, talk about some weapon changes, and guess what? Bungie's Youtube channel now contains cutscenes from many seasons! Go view it in our archive.

Our own mastrbiggy was able to grab some video from a Gambit match at E3 this week; it's not him playing, but the footage does a decent job of showing the various aspects of a Gambit match. Go take a look! (Watch on YouTube for full res; 4k should be available - if it's not, wait a bit and try again.)
The Week of Warmind, Part 4 (Developer Crucible Insights)
Okay, so this dropped yesterday, and it's also included in the Season 3 page referenced earlier today... but it's a great watch, and everyone should see it. Josh Hamrick and Kevin Yanes discuss some of the ways that Exotics are getting deadlier, and what that means for Season 3 Crucible play. Check it out!
It's hard to believe, but we actually recorded another podcast already! We pore over everything we could scrounge up about Destiny 2 from E3 and discuss Destiny lore with guest Ragashingo. Go listen to it in the archive or on YouTube below:
E3 is now over... but there were plenty of interesting bits that appeared during the week that we haven't mentioned. (Thanks to our forumgoers for keeping us up-to-date!) Here's a quick roundup:
Bungie CEO Pete Parsons sat down with WWE superstar Big Show to talk Destiny. There's not a lot of NEW info in this one - but Big Show is clearly a real fan, who knows his stuff! It's a really fun discussion. Thanks, CrisTheeCrappy.
Kotaku hosted a podcast with Luke Smith as one of their guests - and the Destiny discussion is fascinating. If you're looking for some honest behind-the-scenes views of the development process, this one is a must. Thanks, electricpirate.
Giant Bomb hosted some evening streams, and Luke Smith joined one of these, as well. The discussion was pretty entertaining (Luke was one of 5 guests on this one). Thanks, cheapLEY.
Lots of people have been posting 4K Destiny 2 PC gameplay, so that you can get a sense of how much more impressive this content is at 3840x2160 and 60 frames per second. Blackt1g3r pointed out some footage from ArsTechnica, and Xenos let us know about Digital Foundry's offering.
That ought to do it! I'm sure there are more goodies out there - but this should get you started.
