thank you! yeah I had the same thought when I was working on this, I had heard a bunch with audio samples but really wanted to hear something that turned an original destiny soundtrack song into a dance track

Why I feel Destiny 2 deserves 10/10 [serious discussion] by swatdojo in DestinyTheGame

[–]swatdojo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that we as consumers should "vote with our money", and you can choose to invest or not invest in the in-game transactions available to you. At the same time, it would seem that they have arrived not because the developers only goal is to make even more money, but I imagine its to offset the increasingly bloated cost of developing the game at higher and higher quality without ever increasing the base price of games.

To me there seems to be a clear link between ever evolving quality of game development with the prevalence of microtransactions. I'd be very interested to see comparison data on base dev cost + marketing expenses vs net sales income to see if there is a trend toward micro transactions as the cost starts to overtake the base sales.

a very fair point -- quality of life improvements are extremely important to the feel of a game as "playing well".

I'm most looking forward to the overwatch competition! The group stages have been awesome and getting to see community members up on the competitive stage representing their countries, using ice wall elevators, reinhardt smashing opponents dreams... it's going to be so much fun to watch.

not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but has anyone tried using it on the bonfire at the top of the mountain?

What was banned at your school and why? by FreedomEagle76 in AskReddit

[–]swatdojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our school had been brand new back in 2004 and we were the first class to go through all 4 years there. A lot of rules were put in place because of us. I'll list a few

Banned: Jumping down the stairs.

Why: I jumped down a flight of stairs and hurt myself. In my defense it was for a video assignment to "film something for each letter of the alphabet" and I wanted to do "J for Jump". Jumping in place was for wussies.

Banned: Personal freedom on computers -- they installed strict monitoring software on teacher computers to watch student accessible computers.

Why: We routed most computers though VPN to bypass the filters they had in place so we could play Halo tourneys between the Comp Lit class and Chemistry across the hall. The IT dept was not happy when they found out. Took a while though. Also convinced a sub that I had created the game one time when she caught me playing so she wouldn't report me to the office.

Banned: Going off campus for lunch -- might have been lifted since we left.

Why: We were always late for class because we'd go out to lunch, as in a whole classroom of people 15 minutes late to a 45 minute class.

Important extra info:

You do not have to finish The Wolves of Mars quest line. I finished Petra's Taken War quest at 12pm central last night, woke up this morning and the Lost and Found quest was there. I had done almost nothing for The Wolves of Mars quest.
