Sweet Christmas Gift Guide – Destiny: The Taken King (Year 2)
Destiny talk? On this site? NO WAY? Yes, Yes, I know I am the Destiny fanboi, but seriously people now is the time to play this game. Despite my best efforts some people still hated this game for one reason or the another. If it was up to me I would ignore those people and keep doing what I’m doing. Bungie’s smarter than me however and took account of all the complaints from the nay-says out there about the game’s failings. When ‘The Taken King’ year two patch came out for Destiny it was like meeting an old friend for the first time all over again. Everything was the same, but better. Items were dynamic and fresh, but familiar. Quests were challenging and inventive, but still rooted in their core game play. And even when I finished the main story of the Taken King, that’s when the Year 2 patch really opened up! So yeah, the first year of Destiny wasn’t perfect but it was still worth the money I spend on it; Year 2, yeah, that’s perfect, and they only can go up from here.
Gameroween 2015: Video Game Characters that make good costumes (Ghost a.k.a. Dinklebot)
You know what I’ll miss from year one Ghost (a character from Density, played by Peter Dinklage)? How he had presence, seeing how our protagonist was mostly of the silent kind, he was the voice of our adventure. Through all our triumphs to the most perilous moments, our Ghost a.k.a. Dinklebot was there to react to it all. As a function of the game he was useful, as I character he was a stalwart companion that served with distinction and had some funny lines to boot. Sadly nothing good last forever as the ‘loudest minority’ complained Peter Dinklage away and had him replaced with veteran voice actor Nolan North. Now North is excellent at what he does but he is not Ghost – a Dinklenot if you will. What was a powerful, commanding voice of the light and logic; is now a wimpy, sad, squeak that I swear is asking for a wedgey. In honor of the one, true, Ghost make your costume a Dinklebot. Your head will be the center and surround it with colored thick triangles. Now to make sure you’re the right Ghost wear a paper cutout of Peter Dinklage face on the center of the Ghost (i.e. your face) and you’re done. Dinklebot may be gone but thanks to us he’ll never be forgotten.

WTF/FTLOZ: Destiny – The Taken King / The ‘new’ voice of the Ghost
Well people as much and as many good things about the new DLC, The Taken King, has for us Destiny players; there is another side of this treasured coin. See the voice of the Ghost until recently was Peter Dinklage and his performance was just fine (contrary to the loudest minority and their baseless complaints). Throughout my adventure he was the ghost; adding commentary, dignity, and a little comedy to the story. However Dinklage was replaced by Nolan North (due to money or bungie cutting their losses, no one knows for sure) and as of now his voice is now the voice of Ghost. Nolan North is a vet video game voice actor who deserves all the respect in the world for all his work. At the end of the day however he is not my Ghost, he is not the Ghost, and no amount of ‘ a better written story’ from the Taken King will change that. Maybe someday Dinklebot will return, but unlikely – The age of Nolantron has begun.
GET HYPED: The first year of Destiny
As we make our way to the Taken King let look back and reflect on the first year of Destiny. Haters hate because they can’t rate, and people can shout all they want about year one being a beta or this or that. At the end of the day Destiny is good and people play the game because it’s good – and this video is dedicated to our adventures in Destiny thus far and what sprang forth because of it. Here’s to more memories in year 2.
