    The Division 2 Is Having a MASSIVE Comeback and All Eyes Are on Broken Rain! | ft. DJTickle

    Destiny's gone quiet, and Division is making its move to catch everyone it left behind. DJ Tickle knows that better than most — he's one of the creators actually inside this week's Destiny x Division crossover for the Broken Rain incursion, and he brings the real story behind the discourse.In this episode: Longtime Div guru Orion returns, and DJ Tickle joins for the first time to talk state-of-the-game, the Broken Rain incursion dropping this Tuesday, and the community debate around bringing outside streamers into Division's biggest week of content. We also get into DJ Tickle's own creator journey — 2,000+ free raid carries, a Twitch Partner grind that almost burned him out, and still not feeling like a "real" creator even with his own gear in the game.What we cover:- DJ Tickle's path from Division 1 day-one player to full-time creator- State of the game: population, Central Park DLC buzz, and why the numbers are trending up- What an Incursion actually is, and how Broken Rain compares to Destiny's dungeons- The Destiny x Division streamer crossover — the strategy behind it, and the backlash- What's teased for Gamescom: Survivors, crossplay, and a Division 3 tease- Why crossplay might matter more than any single piece of content▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬DJ Tickle: https://youtube.com/@djtickleFind Orion on Discord: @Orion_StarkIf you want more of this format — dedicated non-Destiny conversations — let us know in the comments.

    SirDimetrious | Bungie Layoffs, Marathon's Future & Why He Thinks Destiny Was Dead Years Ago..

    Many Destiny Content Creators would love to move on and try different games, but many are too intimidated by the prospect of taking the plunge. That's where  ⁨@SirDimetrious⁩  differs from the crowd. As a thriving variety Content Creator, I asked him to joint the podcast to share his experience with diving head first into variety gaming and he brought all the secrets! In this Episode, we discuss his journey from Destiny PvP tournaments to becoming one of the internet's most entertaining gaming creators, why he walked away from Destiny, and how he completely reinvented his content to embrace Variety. He also breaks down subjects such as his full editing process, how he approaches the YouTube algorithm, the reason he started a second channel, the importance of sponsorships, combating burnout, and finally why he believes Destiny was finished after The Final Shape.If you're a Destiny player, content creator, or someone interested in growing on YouTube, this conversation is packed with practical advice and behind-the-scenes stories from a creator with more than 200 million YouTube views.
