With the release of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and Destiny: First Light, the pendulum of Bungie's sci fi magic shooter has swung back into Good Times. Not that Forsaken was bad, but... well, nevermind. The point is, there's never been a better time to get involved with Destiny, and get way into it. Six has had an on-again, off-again relationship with ages, but this is the most positive ve's felt about it since The Taken King.

To talk out those feelings, Six is joined by Niall, Destiny lord extraordinaire and softspoken Irish wunderkind. Whether you are a lapsed light, a returning Guardian, have never touched the game, or never left, this is just two friends talking about where Destiny's at, and where it's going.

Yakuza 7's been announced, and it's a turn-based RPG. Judgment is out, and might be getting a sequel, so now there's a detective spinoff series.
