Focused Fire Chat, a Destiny Lore Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Ep 106 - Emperor's Hit List (ft. Beard Grizzly) Oct 29, 2017

Show notes

Episode 106 brings Blue, Green, and returning special guest co-host Beard Grizzly to discuss the information that we have been able to piece together about the Cabal Empire through the information contained within the Emperor's Hit List (and a healthy chat about the Shadows of Calus and even Calus himself). As it tends to go, Blue and Beard tend to get excited with trivia connections - especially in regards to connections to historical events in the real world. The Lost Lore segment, while longer than the previous ones - gave us an option to also look at the new information that we have on some of the inner workings of the Cabal Empire.

Ep 105 - Warminds (ft. Beard Grizzly) Oct 22, 2017

Show notes

Episode 105 brings Blue, Green, and returning special guest co-host Beard Grizzly together to chat about the updated information that we have in regards to the warminds (especially Rasputin) in Destiny 2. And as normal for when Blue and Beard get together, there are tangents that get brought up. We hope you enjoy the conversation! Lost Lore this week was actually in line with the topic - we discuss the details and symbolic importance of the different pieces of music within the Arecibo adventure. Green might have had a bit of fun preparing for that...

Ep 104 - The Traveler Oct 15, 2017

Show notes

Episode 104 brings Blue and Green back together to chat about the updates to the story of the Traveler that Destiny 2 has brought us, as well as discuss some interesting tidbits around this week's Lost Lore topic. After presenting a basic intro about the topic, the team walks through a high-level overview of the campaign, and then discussed the mysterious post-campaign glimpse that players received.

Ep 103 - The Evolution of Light Oct 08, 2017

Show notes

Episode 103 brings Blue, Green, and Justin together to chat about the changes that we've seen in Destiny 2 in regards to the Light that is used throughout the game series as our player's main power source. We also introduce the idea of a new segment for the show (name still pending) around the "Lost Lore" or the trivia facts that might not be readily known to players, due to not having the Grimoire to read any longer. The example we used in tonight's episode is that of Nezarec's Sin - a Warlock helmet with some interesting points about a pre Golden Age entity who might have had the ability to manipulate Light.

Extra Lore 19 - DC (ft. Damoel) Oct 06, 2017

Show notes

Our 19th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and returning guest co-host Damoel together to chat about the DC Universe (yes, the whole thing and no, we didn't cover all of it in 2 hours). Prepare yourself for a pretty entertaining roll through not only the creative history of the comic series, but also an excellent insight into the hosts's views on the main figureheads of the DC series...and an enlightening lesson in how to best trigger the Damo-rage.

Ep 102 - Destiny 2 World Lore Oct 01, 2017

Show notes

Episode 102 brings Blue and Green back together to chat about the worlds that we are introduced to within Destiny 2 (at least at an introductory level for this particular episode). From the moss-covered European Dead Zone (EDZ) to the methane oceans covering Titan, the two walk through a basic look at the new regions we have, looking at the general themes and some of the trivial nuggets of information that have already been uncovered.

Ep 101 - First Reactions Sep 17, 2017

Show notes

Episode 101 brings Blue and Green together to chat with each other about their first reactions to the new worlds offered by Destiny 2 - and to discuss what's already on their wish list for the game. Blue brings up the idea of viewing Destiny 1 as an "episode zero" in the series - including his concerns with that approach as well. Altogether, the reactions are immensely positive - and we're eager to see what the communities thoughts are in the coming weeks!

Ep 100 - Return of Yes Sep 10, 2017

Show notes

Episode 100 brings Blue, Green, Justin, AND MEL back together to chat about the past 100 episodes and the hopes for the next 100 that the team has - and to announce the winner of the digital copy of Destiny 2! We sprinkled in a few tidbits of joy and hilarity from the past couple of years for everyone to enjoy as well - call it a small sample of the shenanigans that often occur during the game streams that the team has throughout the week when we're not working on the podcast or at work itself. A huge thanks to you all again - and we can't wait to explore the future with everyone!

Extra Lore 18 - Final Fantasy (ft. Damoel & BeardGrizzly) Sep 08, 2017

Show notes

Our 18th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and returning guest co-hosts Damoel and BeardGrizzly together to chat about the amazingly complex stories involved in the universe of Final Fantasy. But don't worry - our guests have the information covered and are able to present it in a truly enjoyable fashion (albeit with a bit of slight disagreement on some of the finer points - which shouldn't be a surprise). Be sure to also stick around for the whole episode - as there are some good tangents (especially near the end where we dive into the Tactics series a little bit).

Ep 99 - Final Destiny Memories Sep 03, 2017

Show notes

Episode 99 brings together Blue, Green, & Justin to...well, give the floor to the community. This entire episode was a collection of Dispatches from YOU - and we absolutely loved getting to relive all the great memories from these past years as we read and listened to your best memories. We cannot wait for what the future holds - and while we are excited for what lies before us, we enjoyed this opportunity to look back and take in all that has happened so far.

Per audacia ad astra, Guardians.
