    Day 193: Destiny… Destined to Flop

    I have an interesting relationship with the Destiny franchise. Never once have I actually purchased a game in the series; I’ve always just borrowed copies from my friends at work. Yet somehow, even though I’ve never dropped a dollar, I still feel cheated by this series. It feels like I’m watching drug addicts struggling to drop their…

    Day 184: Nintendo Direct 9.13.18

    Total score from my predictions list: 1/5. Ouch. This was honestly pretty disappointing. Sure, there were a few announcements that made me really happy, but there were just as many that made me shake my head and wonder: why? Let’s get the worst one right out of the way: Nintendo Switch Online. From the looks…
