This Week at Bungie - 11/30/2017

dmg04 posted the most recent Bungie Weekly Update yesterday (Cozmo's still out on paternity leave) - swing by to catch up. There are links to Wednesday's blog update and podcast, if you missed those. There is a preview of the armor and weapons dropping with Curse of Osiris on Tuesday. There's a pre-flight check from Destiny Player Support, so you're ready to play CoO as soon as it's out. And there are a couple of impressive fan vids for your enjoyment. Go read! (It's also in our Weekly Update Archive, if you'd rather.)

Destiny 2 Ghost Skill for Alexa

Do you use Amazon Alexa? Do you play Destiny 2? You can combine these products with a new free skill, available for Amazon Alexa devices, and enhance your overall Destiny 2 experience! You link it to your Bungie.net account, and it can help with all sorts of things, from info about activities to equipping loadouts. The Destiny the Game website has an entire page devoted to this skill, if you need more info before you get started (or if you need help finding enabled Alexa devices). Again - this skill is free, if you've already got an Alexa device. If you really want to push into the world of integration, you can buy a $90 Ghost speaker for Alexa (this will be available on December 19, but can be preordered now).  Not sure how this all works? Three minute-long videos have been posted - the first is embedded below, the other two are linked.

Writing like nobody's watching

Not too long ago, I lamented the fact that the DBO Fan Fiction section was somewhat neglected. Ragashingo took this comment pretty seriously, and did two things: he submitted a new story called 'The Red War' for you to read, and he announced a new writing challenge he calls 'No Longer Neglected'. Twice a month he'll issue a writing prompt; submissions will be added to the Fan Fiction Archive here. Winners will receive loot directly from Raga. Sounds like a win all the way around! The first prompt went live this morning - you can find it on our forum. Join in! (While we're talking about Raga's writing, you might want to also swing by the Bite-Sized Backstory section - I've been remiss about mentioning recent entries, and you can find 6 new - well, not-front-paged - entries in the archive!)
