So the beta closes tonight, and I've had a chance to put in a little bit of time between the 360 and PS3, though I haven't played the PVP (not interested at this point because I'm not too good at Halo PVP).  I really like the game.  I like the story, the missions, the challenges for me, and the gear.  It's fun.  I haven't had a lot of luck with Fireteams, but then again, I don't have a ton of friends on XBL or PSN.  I just really like the game.

 

It's not for everyone.  The hardcore FPSers who gave the Halo community a terrible name are still there.  Check the bungie.net forums...ewww..  Some people don't like the amount of content (those who hate DLC), soome don't like the gear grind, and people have been finding all kinds of flaws in the game.  I do really enjoy my time.  I like the feeling of success when I beat a boss, and frankly some of the attacks like a Titan's punch or headshots with a sniper rifle, or the Warlock Nova Bomb are really satisfying for me. 

 

I look forward to getting my preorder and enjoying what I can when I can.  I don't have tons of time so the Xbox DLC delay isn't a big deal for me.  PC master race folks will laugh and scoff at me, but I look forward to enjoying some Destiny soon!

 

PS - Plus I love being able to manage my characters from the app...I spend a lot of time checking my dude out =)

If you're like me, and dying a little bit everyday in before the game launches:

That really makes me excited for the game.  I'm also actually excited for the end game after watching this:

Some folks are going to really bemoan the lack of match making, but having play games with match making, I'm glad we have to actually work with people you kind of know.  Or at least you know they want to do well.  In LOTRO, I remember getting stuck with a healer who was constantly AFK because of his bowels.  Or the hunter who had to keep checking their screaming kids (talk about screwed up priorities!)...

 

I like that you have to figure out a way to find people to run these with. 

 

Well, there we go, I really can't wait until this game comes out =)

Yep. I can't wait to get a crack at him! I've seen in many videos where he takes forever to down.

Got to keep blasting those legs, and rezing your team members. I'd thing your heavy weapons would be really important there.

Idk if I was just playing with good teams or what, but he only took 10 minutes to kill and I don't really remember dying by him.

So it's almost Destiny day...if you haven't seen it, here's the slightly humorous live action trailer...

 

http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Live-Action-Trailer/en/News/News?aid=12089

 

It's super campy and cheesy, which is what I expect for a video game!

 

Anyone else here got their pre-orders situated?  I'm picking up my xbox 360 version on Tuesday after work.  I'm so freaking excited!  Also, there are more of the Bungie crew and tester profiles coming out...seeing the names of places and the gear has my inner loot ***** standing at full attention.

 

I think that's what's getting me exited the most.  Secretly, I'm a huge loot *****.  I love shiny stuff!  See y'all on Tuesday!

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
