    Destiny Digest #139: Destiny 2's Final Update: Monument of Triumph

    THIS WEEK: After months of little communication, Bungie announced that their looter shooter Destiny 2 will be ending development with the release on June 9th being their final update for the game. With the update we'll be receiving Pantheon 2.0, refreshed and tiered Raid Loot, the return of the Director, Sparrow Racing League, more weapons added to the tier system, Ability and Sandbox updates, and more. Along with this news, we also received reports that Bungie will be planning another round of significant layoffs and that many developers didn't know this update would be their last with work on the next DLC, Shattered Cycle, well underway.

    Destiny Digest #133: Recon's Buff Will Do What!?

    THIS WEEK: Marathon has been out almost a month and we're starting to get glimpses of what future updates will come to Bungie's Extraction Shooter.

    Destiny Digest #132: Marathon Sales Numbers Are In

    THIS WEEK: Marathon's third week since launch has brought with it some interesting news. First up, Cryo Archive has moved to Thursdays going forward. How has that change affected the lobbies and other maps for Bungie's new extraction shooter? There's also some sale numbers that have been circulating around, as well. All this while Destiny 2's latest iteration of Guardian Games are underway. Tiddly and the Dans discuss the states of both games and your audience questions in this episode. We're also well on the way to the first tier of YouTube monetization! Please consider dropping a follow!
