So here we sit a week into 2.5.0.2 and we've all had a chance to get hold of our emotions and actually spend some time playing the new changes. There was certainly a lot to discuss in this weeks episode as we give our opinions on what we've experienced. What has this patch meant to you and how has it affected how you play and enjoy Destiny?

The podcast was started to give everyday guardians a chance to do something they would probably never experience by being on a podcast and to give them the opportunity to have not just their thoughts, but their voices heard by Bungie as they discuss the game. Beyond that, it's allowed us to get to know the voices and personalities behind the gamertags we see on the forums and get to know each other in a way not possible in anonymous words on a page. We aren't here to endorse or tear down Bungie or Destiny, but to give honest, balanced talk on this game. Thank-you and maybe we'll see you on an episode.
