Holy sh*t, Doom: The Dark Ages looks f*cking sick! RIP AND TEAR!

After Final Shape, I’m in the Destiny writing mode. Now before you raise your torches and pitchforks, I am getting progress done for the other stories, I’ve just been going at my own pace.
          
          Anyways, yeah, Destiny stories! There’s Brothers, which needs to be heavily revised, and Will of Iron, which is still being planned out. So, I’m thinking of just doing one-shots for the time being. I’d rather not keep digging an already deep hole and make a new Destiny related story entirely, for now, so this seems like the best idea. That and I’d say this would be a me kind of thing and not feeling forced to write it. We all have those stories once in a while, yeah?
          
          Anyways, let me know what you all think. For the time being , I’m going back to the storyboard and trying to grind gear for the raid.  Cheers everyone!

(Don’t know if anyone will see this, since it’s early in the morning for me and late for everyone else most likely.)
          
          So, the raid was finished, funny enough by a group no one thought of. I’m happy for them and I’m happy that it wasn’t SaltaGreppo lol.
          
          After they cleared the raid, a new activity came out. Believe or not, it’s 12 players! It’s beautiful chaos!
          
          Anyways, I’ll stop right there, otherwise I’d be getting into spoiler territory. But f*cking hell… I just want to say that I’m glad to have been brought into the likes of the Destiny universe. Sure, it’s had its highs and lows, but it was all worth it in the end. 
          
          Per Audacia Ad Astra. I’ll see you starside.

Well, the raid is certainly something. I can already tell I may not make it before contest mode is finished lol. Oh well. Hope other raiders are having better luck than me lol XD
          
          Also, hoping Datto or Sweatcicle get the world’s first win and not Saltagreppo. F*cking hate that elitist bastard…

So, I finally managed to finish the campaign for Final Shape on legendary. All I have to say is holy sh*t, Bungie cooked! Story is good, like Witch Queen levels of good, the characters and how they act are written/done beautifully, definitely pulled some heartstrings and made me stop in my tracks during some of their dialogue, and the environment is crafted beautifully that I could sit down or walk in it for quite a while. Also how they tie in the raid is brilliant and makes sense why we’re getting it so soon and not getting it a week later, the stakes are high! 
          
          Downside to all of this was launch day where the servers decided to off themselves. Then again, it’s a live service game with thousands to millions of players hopping on and giving it a go. A lot of people, and I mean A LOT, decided the expansion was bad because of the server performance and nothing else. That’s just petty and should reevaluate their life choices.
          
          Overall? https://youtu.be/LTvvwwCTCA0?feature=shared 
          
          I’m going to try and get the raid done when it comes out Friday, but there is no guarantee I’ll see it through until contest mode is over. I have horrible luck with day one raids, Garden and VoG taught me that all too well. 
          
          Anyways, hope everyone else is having fun with the expansion! And remember, Guardians make their own fate.

*proceeds to hand you the still hunt sniper exotic* go hog wild 

How’s the Finale Shape treating you?

Welp, 14 hours just went down the drain. 14 hours of Week 4 f*cking Pantheon…
          
          Got all the way to Nezarec but couldn’t overcome him. And you know what the funny part is? Three times we only got him to last stand and he only had a sliver of health each time. The amount of pain and anger my fireteam and I experienced with the one boss, we’ll never be able to see Nezarec the same again. That and planets. Planets can go f*ck itself as well. 
          
          Well, time to wait for Final Shape to release and cope with the fact I wasn’t able to get Godslayer as a title. Hope everyone got their title while they could and are excited for Final Shape as well. Until then, cheers everyone.
          
          One f*cking boss, that’s all we bloody needed…

“You think all of this is necessary?”
          
          A voice asked but no response was given.
          
          “All we are doing is causing more bloodshed. We are killing those who can’t be brought back.”
          
          “It’s for the better.”
          
          A second voice finally responds, resolute and undeterred. The sound of liquid is heard dripping.
          
          “How can you consider this, ‘for the better’?”
          
          Skepticism laced the words of the first voice. Grinding metal against stone replaces the liquid dripping.
          
          “Because that’s what it is. We are cleaning up a mess for the betterment of our people. It’s our duty.”
          
          The second voice responds, the life in their voice nonexistent.
          
          “Our duty is to be the shield of our people and defend them, not the spear that seeks the blood of others.”
          
          The grinding stops as soon as the first voice finishes speaking.
          
          “Now is not the time to develop a heart. We have no need of it.”
          
          The second speaks coldly, ceasing the dialogue between the two.
          
          A sound is heard, the sound of quick breathing and frantic movements akin to a trapped animal. They only increase as heavy metal footfalls grow closer to the sounds.
          
          “P-p-please, have m-mercy…”
          
          A third voice speaks in a frightened whisper. The sound of metal sliding against stone is heard for a brief second.
          
          “P-PLEA-!!!
          
          The sound of flesh being torn is heard before something wet squelches across the ground.
          
          
          (Thought I’d share something dark. Also, my thought process for this one was an alternate take on one of my stories. Also also, all of this stemmed from a single line, which you can find somewhere here. Crazy right? Anyways, cheers!)
