Phew, August has been one heck of a blur! I really haven’t had time to breathe to be honest, which makes me wonder whether I should contact Guinness to see if my feat is worthy of a world record. I held my breathe for… 19 days or so, so I don’t see there being a problem! They just better not ask me to replicate these results however… I could die!

            Guy knocked me off my bike, made my clavicle split in 3, operation and augmentation etc. Hence, on the mend

            Shit man! Sorry to hear that, hope you get back on your feet again soon. Take it easy, don’t rush it. Let your physio and body do its thing.

            Augmentation? Any chance it’s like something from Deus Ex?

            Ow… I’d hate to know how much that hurts.

            I cracked my clavicle when I was younger and that hurt enough.

        SWIM. Perhaps even Saturday coming. SWIM.
        But yes, I prefer the colder weather in general, except for the swimming.

    Xursday!!! Winner!!! All this Bungie and Destiny love all of a sudden has me smiling a lot more… The Taken King feels like it will get a much fairer shake than what Destiny 1.0 ever did. The people who don’t like these type of games might just stay away and not piss and moan about the game as they did with 1.0… makes me very happy indeed.

            I have only played that about 3 times. Once was on the level 35 and got to Skolas and just didn’t find a way to beat his ass. So we just quit…

            August 24, 2015 at 12:03

            I have a level 34 Titan and a level 32.5 Hunter and a level 2 Warlock… I still need to play the Warlock, but I am waiting on the NolanBot?

          • Hammersteyn

            August 24, 2015 at 12:04

            Need one more armored core and I’m there as well with my Titan. Love the new helmet Xur sold – Eternal Warrior I think. I’ll get my other class up to spec once Taken King is out.

          • Jonah Cash

            August 24, 2015 at 13:50

            I got my hunter up from 26 to 32.5 in just over two days of playing. It is a lot easier to upgrade characters and now it may be even easier after Taken King arrives with plain good old XP… We really did beta test the shit out of Destiny for all the new players to just level up in under 50 hours!!
