Each year the Guardian Games returns to Destiny 2, Bungie takes on the arduous task of balancing the event. Despite the focus on population differences in this year’s Guardian Games All-Stars, the new Focus Activity feature is throwing a wrench into the gears. As such, Bungie announced on X, formerly Twitter, that the Focus Activity is temporarily scaled in favor of Warlocks and Titans until a more permanent solution is reached.

Destiny 2 developer Bungie is about to unleash the Guardian Games for 2024. The next Guardian Games event has a March 5 release date and a 6pm GMT UK launch time. One of the more exciting Destiny 2 events in a long time, the Guardian Games introduces a new vehicle, as the Skimmer joins the game. Like Destiny meets Tony Hawk's, the Skimmer is a hoverboard that can be used to perform tricks, grind rails and "stylishly skim" across the map.Bungie explains more: "It's the time of the year when Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans…

Destiny 2‘s Guardian Games All-Stars is almost here, with the event returning alongside some changes and additions. The February 29 This Week in Destiny communication discussed what players could expect from this year’s event, with a few surprises for good measure. In addition to a stylish new hoverboard to get around, Guardian Games participants can try their luck at new challenges and rake in some unique rewards. The Guardian Games is a yearly event in Destiny 2 framed as a friendly competition between the three…

Hot skippidy Nimbus, it’s actually happening. Destiny 2 is getting hoverboards. Announced in one of Bungie’s This Week in Destiny communications, and alongside a snazzy-looking trailer, the new vehicle type will be a part of 2024’s Guardian Games event. Players have asked for hoverboards in Destiny 2 for years, often citing desires to see changes or improvements to the long-standing Sparrows. Naturally, when Nimbus and Rohan showed up on their pseudo-hoverboards in Lightfall, players only wanted them more.  Now,…

Wendy Williams’ guardian has filed a lawsuit against A&E Networks, potentially seeking to block the premiere of the new Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? The two-part film is set to air this weekend, Feb 24 and 25, and will explore the past few years of the media personality’s life as her health declined and she was ultimately placed under court-ordered guardianship in 2022. Though the lawsuit is sealed, it is seeking some kind of injunctive relief, suggesting the aim is to delay or derail the doc’s…

"Guardians of the Galaxy Annual" #1 turns out to be a perfect ending for Drax. Born Arthur Douglas, he became Drax the Destroyer after being taken from Earth by Thanos' grandfather and father, Kronos and Mentor, who transformed him into a weapon literally designed to defeat the Mad Titan. Now, the hero has shed his past title and become something very different. With Empress Victoria trying to destroy Grootfall, still unaware of the truth regarding its process of rebirth, Drax and Rocket Raccoon take…

Whitney Houston – It’s Not Right But It’s OkayI never went to J-school, but I learned everything anyone needs to know about how to be an investigative reporter from Detective Whitney Houston. In just four short minutes, this song describes our hero’s Pulitzer-level investigation into a deadbeat lover: she looks through his phone, digs through the trash, and literally finds the receipts to prove once and for all that he’s a filthy, lying cheater. That’s a bummer, of course, but in the grand tradition of divas such as…

Destiny 2: The Final Shape simply whelmed players on the day of its showcasing, only to be followed by a bout of nasty layoffs and a release date pushback. Ahead of the DLC’s postponed release, however, Bungie managed to eke out some victories, such as the Guardian re-customization feature. Indeed, players will finally get the option to rebuild their Guardians in Destiny 2 sometime before the release of The Final Shape, and what’s particularly impressive is that it won’t cost a penny. Broadly infamous for its…

CinemaDon’t talk during the opening creditsNot talking during the film should be a given. It is OK to talk (quietly) during the ads and it is similarly OK to talk (even more quietly) during the trailers. But the microsecond the film starts then you shut up. The credits are not like two football teams warming up before kickoff. The credits are part of the film.Do not kick the seat in front of you, or even press your knees against it It’s amazing how many people don’t understand what not kicking the seat in front of you…
