Ep 48 (Extra Lore 06) - Intro to Pokémon Sep 09, 2016

Show notes

Episode 48 (our sixth installment in the Extra Lore series) brings together Blue, Justin, Willy, and special guest co-host Racharizard (a.k.a., Rachael) to chat about the basic information one needs to have before starting their adventure in the wild world of Pokémon. It also makes the point that Blue can't count the number of episodes that he's on...so forgive him for that. Prepare yourself for an episode of laughter and some odd observations on the nature of the Pokémon world and culture - mostly from Blue and Willy.

Ep 47 - Sword Logic Sep 01, 2016

Show notes

Episode 47 brings Blue, Justin, Mel, Willy, and returning guest co-host Damo together to discuss the logic of those terrifying Hive and their Throne Worlds, the Logic of the Sword. A dark and twisted view of the way of the universe, this underlying philosophy of the Hive culture is something of a misnomer in that it isn't just restricted to blades - though it definitely prefers the close quarter kills that such weapons provide to the wielder. Join the group as they walk through the available Grimoire cards pertaining to Sword Logic and search for a method to the madness described by Toland and others.

The 2nd installment of our Behind the Scenes series gave us an opportunity to sit down with WindoftheStars (a.k.a., Mel) to chat with her about the questions that our Discord chat had about Cosplaying. Join us as we discuss things from how Mel started out with cosplaying to details on where you can find materials and inspiration for costumes and other builds!

Ep 46 - The Awoken Aug 25, 2016

Show notes

Episode 46 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and returning guest co-host Mel (WindoftheStars) to chat about those enigmatic characters out in the deep unknown, the Awoken. While there are a number of Grimoire entries pertaining to individuals within the culture of the Awoken, the information as a whole doesn't give us much to work with - as would be expected for a race who are raised in mystery and secret. These elusive figures dance along the razor's edge between the Light and the Dark - and thrive in the shadows of the unknown...exploring those secrets is not unlike decrypting a stubborn engram. And hopefully, when that decryption has been completed, we'll find ourselves with yet another piece of the puzzle that is Destiny in our hands.

Ep 45 - King's Fall Aug 18, 2016

Show notes

Epsiode 45 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to discuss the lore surrounding the most recent raid within Destiny - the King's Fall raid. The story of our overthrowing the pinnacle of the Taken power is one which contains a fair amount of lore, to say the least, so be sure to settle in for a good reading of Toland and Oryx commentary on the Guardians who challenge the throne (and the surprises that lie in store for those who expect a specific outcome before our fireteam takes the Taken King on).

Ep 44 - Ghosts Aug 11, 2016

Show notes

Episode 44 brings Blue and Justin back together to discuss those enigmatic companions of ours in the world of Destiny, the Ghosts. As both of the hosts are fans of a number of the more psychological aspects of science fiction, especially in regards to the development and dealings with artificial intelligence, there is a rather large section of the epsiode dedicated to the conversation on what makes a personality within AI and if the Ghosts that we interact with in game have that or if they are merely a fragment and reflection of a larger collective of intelligence. The nature of the known history of Ghosts (what little we know of in game currently at least) is also discussed in regards to the potential connection to some other significant theories.

Ep 43 - Vex Structures Aug 04, 2016

Show notes

Episode 43 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to discuss the lore around another enigma of the Vex - those odd structures that seem to be taking over everything. What are they? Where did they come from? Why should we care about the declining value of the Venusian real estate scene? Answers (or at least theories) to these questions and some more details on that tasty looking 'Vex Milk' that Kabr raves about await your ears. As well as some good laughs and a few jokes (as usual).

Ep 42 (Extra Lore 05) - Intro to Overwatch Aug 03, 2016

Show notes

Our 5th Extra Lore episode brings Blue, Justin, and special returning guest co-host WindoftheStars (aka, Mel) together to discuss a brief introduction to the overall storyline and characters found in Blizzard's multiplayer first-person shooter, Overwatch. The team starts with the events that lead up to the start of the game and then, from there, discuss some of the more well known figures and their connections to one another - with a few opinions thrown in to spice things up, as usual.
As we are trying out a new VOIP system, there are a few minor snags in audio - however, Blue is working behind the scenes to get the hamster wheels spinning in sync and hopes to have most of the issues resolved in the next few episodes for everyone.

Ep 41 - The Cryptarchy Jul 28, 2016

Show notes

Episode 41 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and returning special guest co-host Forrest together to chat about the information available within Destiny concerning those enigmatic figures who we all love to hate - the Cryptarchs. While there isn't an overflow of information, there are certainly enough breadcrumbs to provide for an enlightening conversation - though one should be ready for some interesting trivia connections to the real world from Blue, as well as the ever present conversation about Paean and Rusty the Sweeper Bot from Willy.

Ep 40 - Crota Fireteam Jul 21, 2016

Show notes

Episode 40 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and special guest co-host grneyedmusiklvr together to chat about the first Crota fireteam to brave the depths of the Hellmouth - and their ultimate fate. Even if the topic is grim, however, have no worries - there's jokes and laughter at every step with the group as they discuss the nature of the psychological trauma of the team, the details of what we know about the individuals who made up the fireteam, and ultimately what was the cause of their failure to assassinate the son of Oryx.
Please pardon some of the audio mishaps on this episode - Skype was being true to itself and decided to try to be as much of an interference with the conversation as possible. We are planning on taking a few steps to hopefully move to a smoother VOIP program here in the near future to make it a bit easier on your ears.
