So, it's a thing, all official and stuff. 

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/223773290?sort=0&page=0

I can't link twitter at work, so here's a bungie forums post about it.

Based on the leaked images, I'm just so excited!  As some forum folks there already posted, the bottom of the Traveler is healed and the city is smoking at night.  Hrm...

Could be that the Traveler has woken up, is pissed and wants revenge!  Or it's been hijacked by the darkness and is attacking.  Or the Cabal have managed to penetrate the Traveler's defenses, attacked it, and this is a shot of the Traveler falling on the city...

Fun conspiracy theories?  Go!

I hope it doesn't want to harm us naturally because it's o our side. I hope it gets hacked or something like that. All in all I'm excited for this.

There was an art snafu where the artist left a second Traveler image in the background which sent the Destiny-verse into a complete frothing mess.  Was pretty funny on twitter =)

So after a night of reflection:  I think the Cabal have attacked.  Since they aren't part of the Darkness, they are simply a military force, which has had it's leadership in the Solar System destroyed.  They may be able to bypass the Traveler's "defenses" because they aren't tainted by the Darkness the way the Fallen, Hive and Vex are.  In TTK, the message was sent, and now the Cabal are investigating why their armies are being constantly kicked in the teeth.  I read (just now, checking on the Cabal and Darkness relationship), that they are studying our self-resurrection abilities before they commit to full and total war with us.  Fun times.

I guess they could be here and ready to fight us.  Maybe they have a way to block our light, or at least weaken it to the point where we aren't as powerful.  Then Destiny 2 is about us finding our powers again and reclaiming the City and protecting what's left of Humanity.

That would be a powerful narrative.  I just hope Shaxx is still there.  He and Cayde.  Love those two guys!

Very nice! We never got a cabal raid did we? I always like fighting them and the vex the most.

Well, this is a thing...

Holy poo on a stick!  Color excited!  I can't wait to see the full trailer Thursday.  I'm just going to watch this on loop for several hours.

So the Canal are attacking the city, The Vanguard are kicking ass, and Cayde-6 is in rare form!

Man, I wish I could have made it to a GameStop this week to preorder for my Cayde-6 bobble dead.../weep...

Did you play any original Destiny?  I feel like I have to bring this up, just in case!

Destiny was the only game I played for most of 2016. When I solo'd the Crota raid, it sealed it as my favorite game ever.

E3 will be awesome this year just for this game. What are your guys' gamer tags on X1 if you have it?

I'm Dionysusfiend, but I'm in show week.  Saturday night I'll be on, try to raid or nightfall.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
