It seems like Destiny 2 is the game Bungie had originally promised with Destiny in 2014, but hey, better late than never, right? The state of Destiny is slightly more complicated than that, of course, and to break down our initial reactions, Austin, Rob, and Patrick are joined by Giant Bomb’s Abby Russell. There’s also some discussion of a place called “Buffalo Wild Wings.” (Some people recommend you get the honey BBQ wings there.) (Also, there are some mild Destiny 2 story spoilers, but they are vague.)

Forgive us, father, for we are about to sin.

You know it's a good episode when, right out of the gate, we're talking about pop singles, the political platforms of the pop singers behind them, and questions about why Carly Rae Jepsen isn't more popular. Elsewhere, Austin and Patrick have been playing Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (it's good), and Rob and Danielle join us for a long discussion about how Valve's handled the non-existence of Half-Life 3, in the wake of a Half-Life 2: Episode Three synopsis emerging from a former Valve writer.

As the fall gaming season approaches, and games like Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and Destiny 2 loom, we take a deep breath and talk about...No Man's Sky. Look, there's a new update out, and Austin needs to get some things off his chest. Elsewhere, Patrick's finished Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and Has Some Thoughts on Puzzles (Danielle is halfway done), and Rob recounts a losing battle in Warhammer.

Austin is out on a Summer Friday, so Patrick, Rob, and Danielle get down to business to talk about good August games. They touch on Madden's very Friday Night Lights-esque story mode, new content (including ghost trolls!) for Total War: Warhammer, and the pleasures of Uncharted: Lost Legacy as well as the very dark cyberpunk of Observer. Then, they take a dive into the question bucket and get ready for the weekend.

Polygon video producer Nick Robinson was suspended last Friday, “pending a thorough Vox Media inquiry” regarding allegations of serial sexual harassment. You might not be surprised we Have Some Thoughts. Patrick, Austin, Danielle, and Rob used this moment to discuss the confusing world of power dynamics in the social media age, what it’s like to have a favorite creator accused of something grotesque, and why we should avoid demanding “receipts” from people who come forward with stories of harassment. Elsewhere, we celebrate our recent chicken dinner in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Danielle gushes over Atomic Blonde, and Rob tells us why Battle Brothers is giving him pause.
