I've been staying out of discussions of The Division here because the NDA I signed to be in the Alpha restricts what I can say too the point of gutting all interesting content from any post I try to write, but based ONLY on pre-Alpha gameplay videos it seems like a world I would like to explore that focuses on cooperative gameplay which I enjoy very much as a genre. Before Destiny I was playing a lot of BF4 if people still have it or want to get it cheap I assume it's still fun.

Also on the XBONE side of things, I have H5 as a christmas gift and have yet to put the disk in. I've had the idea of a Halo 3 throwback night floating around in my head of months. Would other people want that as much as I would? Is the Backward Compat good enough for people who didn't keep their 360s?

Yeah, you keep saying that, but anytime I try to make it happen you're not available.

I feel the need to share this (don't ask me why, it doesn't entirely make sense in my twisted mind either):

Bill: Ted, while I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant. The truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super band until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar.
Ted: Yes, Bill. But, I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen until we have a triumphant video.
Bill: Ted, it's pointless to have a triumphant video before we even have decent instruments.
Ted: Well, how can we have decent instruments when we don't really even know how to play?
Bill: That is why we NEED Eddie Van Halen!
Ted: And THAT is why we need a triumphant video.
Bill, Ted: EXCELLENT!

Let's do more trials then. Surely with everyone leaving PvP that means easier trip to the lighthouse :-p

Hah... I don't know about that, but I'm always happy to give it a go :) Pretty much every Friday/Saturday/Sunday night.

I would like to do some trials sometime. I haven't because it doesn't line up well with my schedule. I've really enjoyed when I've played, maybe I need to rearrange some stuff. :)

I'm always happy to run it with you :)

I think the main issue for me is that my interest in running King's Fall has dwindled quite a bit. I still enjoy it from time to time, but most KF events leave me feeling more exhausted than anything else (the fact that I start so late doesn't help, I'm sure).

I frequently see 10+ DBOers on my friends list in the evening. I think what you're feeling is a general lack of enthusiasm for the re-running the raid (I resorted to LFG this weekend, and finally managed to knock Oryx out last night... still no helm).

In addition, CruelLegacey, Slycrel, and Peaks usually run Trials during when you schedule your Monday Night events.

Pretty much this. I'm still online most nights, and I typically see 10-15 PS4 DBOers online when I sign in.

At this point I have more fun doing PvP, strikes, patrol quests, or old raids. But King's Fall is the only current PvE activity we can do as a group of 6, so it's getting tough to get everyone together at the same time.

I'm into a pretty consistent groove though. Monday night trials. Tuesday nights have been raids/challenges or with dogcow and his bro-in-law. Thursdays have been "other", sometimes it's raid challenges, sometimes it's sword quests or other random things that people need help with. Sometimes (rarely) it's pickup groups doing random quest things. I've been going through the story on my hunter which has been fun.

Maybe we should bring back Tuesday nightfalls, run through once or twice with a big group and then see if people are up for anything after?

There has been talk of doing a flawless Crota run for a few people who haven't gotten flawless raider yet. I'd be up for that as well.

As far as games I'm playing, it's destiny and fallout 4. I've sunk in ~20 hours on fallout over the past week, much to the dismay of my sleep schedule, and I can say that it's just gearing up to be pretty cool.

Not much else on PS4 though. I also play minecraft and starcraft occasionally on my mac.

I'm going to use 2016 to mainly catch up on games I missed while playing Destiny. Here's my current to-play list:

PS4
Tomb Raider-Definitive Edition
Last of Us (replay)
Uncharted - Nathan Drake Collection
Uncharted 4
Gravity Rush - Remastered
Heavy Rain - Remaster
**I'm waiting for gamer reviews on Division before buying.

PC
Fallout 4
Black Desert
Skyrim (never played it, finally modded the game so the character models look half way decent)

Wii U
Bayonetta 1 & 2

This.

Also, I've been running w/ my Bro-In-Law lately. We'll soon be doing a VoG raid, then the Crota Raid... He'll probably be "done" when he's done everything in PvE once. After that I'll be working on my Hunter.

Also, joining the Fuel Rats was one of the coolest things in video games ever.
