Here we go: the penultimate week for Season of the Seraph gets a review, we chat about the first Bungie Weekly Update of 2023, Horizon Forbidden West is discussed again, plus there are an assortment of tangents we break off into. As an added bonus the audio isn't the best quality & we could not fix it in post. Sorry about that. Hopefully you still get something out of this & enjoy!

This week we catch up with Weeks 4 & 5 of Season of the Seraph, touch base with the new Iron Banner game mode, Fortress, little discussion of some odds & ends from the seasonal offerings, and then chat about Horizon Forbidden West on PS5. Hope you enjoy & thanks for listening!

Closing out 2022, Vengz & Outrider chat up the current D2 season, the Dawning event, & the new secret mission. Beyond that, Outrider talks about his love of Vampire Survivors on mobile, a brief chat about other games played, as well as some general holiday conversations going down. Here's to a better 2023 for all of us & thank you for sticking with us during a bit of a rough 2022! 

After a long break, we're back at the end of 2022 to look back on Destiny 2 as a game, explore the good & not so good, and see where Outrider stands on everything. We tried to be as thorough as possible when considering not just the 2022 D2 experience but the 8 years of the franchise as a whole here. Please give this a listen, and we hope to hear your thoughts on this one. 

Outrider & Vengz chat up the weapons tuning for the mid-season patch as Festival of the Lost goes live for Guardians to gorge on candy & shenanigans. Plus the Season of Plunder Week 8 story finale is discussed as well. Hope you enjoy!
