Well, DBO sure blew up for a bit there, didn't it? (Destiny)

So let's try to bridge gaps and get to know each other a bit better. Let's try to create some understanding with one another. I know, this might seem a bit laughable coming from me, but why not?

First, how about your likes? I'll start.

Well, I like Bungie. My first Bungie game was Oni. My first Bungie love was Halo. I really enjoy Destiny. I play as a Titan, and I have never created a secondary character. I particularly enjoy playing the Raids and the Crucible, especially with friends and DBO in general, and I feel like Trials does more than enough to satiate my competitive drive. Although I love my Blacksmith shader, in the past two months, I randomly obtained the Substance 321 shader and the Thunderdevil shader. Wearing nothing but Trials vendor armor, I sometimes like to pretend that I am an instrument of the light and the Traveler when vanquishing foes, or that I am death itself delivering despair and destruction upon whatever steps into my path. And then Trials dropped Aaru's Passage this past week and turned me into a shiny, golden warrior, and now it's my favorite shader.

I'm an all-around gamer who enjoys playing for fun, for stupid (betraying teammates while being betrayed and laughing with friends yet still trying to win the game), and playing ultra-competitively. Whether it's a game like Viva Piñata or a game like Halo 3, I'm usually more than happy to play. All genres, all styles.

I also really like writing, editing, and workshopping other writing. As part of this, I really enjoy reading (though I don't read as often as I should or am able, admittedly). I positively love the Grimoire, the Marathon Terminals, and the Halo 3 Terminals.

So, how about dislikes?

These aren't supposed to be the emphasis of this thread, so I'll just throw out a few things:

No checkpoints in PoE, lack of story in Destiny, Star Wars prequels, 343 Industries, the fact that there are three Hobbit films (totally unnecessary in my opinion), and the Yankees (yeah I said it).

What's your favorite video gaming console or handheld device of all time?

Is it even fair to ask anyone, let alone myself, to pick just one? What a nightmare. I feel like my N64 has to win out. I adored my Sega, and I definitely have more games and have put more time into my 360 than probably any other console, but I can't rule against Nintendo on this one.

Cake or pie?

What a stupid argument, right? Give me both.

Whose posts do you always find yourself clicking on?

This question isn't meant to be divisive, to offend, or to omit people. Sometimes, recognizing someone or saying something nice can be beneficial. While I enjoy reading just about everyone's posts, I really enjoy clicking on Padraig's posts. Did Marty get a new job?! Nope, it's some TSD thing. DID MARTY GET A NEW JOB THIS TIME FOR REAL?! Nope. SO MAD RIGHT NOW. Yet oddly cracking up at the same time. Brilliant. And his write-ups are fun. And his endless smiles and laughter are fun. And Space Jam. Even when it's completely random, it's awesome. Thanks for being you, Padraig. You rock.

Welp, I hope this gets the ball rolling in some good, fun, and interesting ways. Sound off peoples!
