Tee, Nick, and Brandon assemble and put together copious noteson Season of the Drifter. This was recorded the Sunday before the game dropped, so here we talk about what we are looking forward to and what we are hoping for from this new DLC.
Watch the unedited, LIVE podcast from Twitch here!
Now with a few days of Gambit Prime and The Reckoning, we want to know what you think! Are you enjoying Gambit Prime? What’s the role working for you? Drop us a line at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!
00:00 — Introduction
Did you know we are now recording LIVE ON TWITCH? Because yeah, we are. The Fireteam is ready to go! RNJesus does not love Brandon on Strange Terrain. Let’s talk about what we have been up to in-game…Nick — Power Level is at 639 and he is working through his Forge Weapons on Mercury. Wait — Tee is coaching Brandon? Brandon’s on Bell Duty. This scares Tee. Brandon — Power Level is at 643 and Strange Terrain is his grind. Tee — Power Level is at 650 and his Warlock skills are beginning to slip out into the Real World. Maybe there is such a thing as too much Destiny. Marvel’s new property: Doctor Strange Terrain. A tiny tangent on Polar. Tee’s got some new weapons, so a bit closer to Wayfarer. (UPDATE: His RNG is done on Mars. It’s time to go on Heroic Adventures now!)
Coffee Talk The Big Marvinski went from being in Chat to being on pod. Thanks, man! So, what happened at the Kelly’s while we were recording the next episode? (Wait, what?!) The interview is coming, Marv. I promise.

Welcome to the Season of the Drifter!Don’t abuse the bell, Brandon! Nick’s not the only one who takes copious notes here. How Titans take notes.

Ideas to troll the other team in Gambit with new armor Lamenting over The Black Armor….except for Coach. Lamenting over Archon’s Forge. Yeah, we have Blind Well, but….. But it’s more like Escalation Protocol. Brandon speculates what he thinks The Reckoning will be. (Keep in mind, at this recording, we haven’t played it yet.)So where do you go after Gambit Prime? The Reckoning, of course.
Looks like all our chat about Destiny is rubbing off on our audience…

EDITOR’S NOTE: During the playback of the episode, we have noticed some problems with “crackling” in the audio. Turns out a cable (we’re just not sure which one) is giving up the Ghost, so our next batch of recordings should sound a bit better.
The Fireteam is ready for a trip into the Crucible as we are a full-on crew. Coach is back!!! We are settling in to talk about The Black Armory and current quests that are active in-game. We also celebrate a little victory on Tee’s end of his Malfeasence Quest.

EDITOR’S NOTE: During the live stream and podcast recording, there were audio issues encountered unbeknownst to the Fireteam. Please note that we are aware of echo and less-than-clean audio. We will be looking into this and taking steps to remedy this before the next podcast.

( You’ll be getting that throughout the podcast everybody, so Happy Dawning to you.)
3:56 — Episode #045: Catching Up (Part One)
So where do we begin?Do we talk about Festival of the Lost, or just hit The Dawning straight away? Just because we haven’t been talking about the game doesn’t mean we’ve been slacking. Dammit, Tess… Random Echo Brandon is still bitter about exotic issues.
If you are new to the game (because of Christmas), welcome to Destiny 2!
Random Echo Lamenting O.P. snowballs Nick has issues with Brother Vance…still…….

Aaaaaand Plot Twist. Discuss.
Wasn’t it nice returning to the Cosmodrome? (Tee has questions.) Turning our attention to the Tangled Shore Inspirations behind Spider Who doesn’t love Spider?

When you swing by Tee’s stream on Tuesday nights, you may notice there’s some serious shenanigans afoot. You would be more correct on that as we are hosting as special series called The Blind Leading the Blind featuring Steve Saylor. As Tee likes to say “Steve and I are putting the BLIND into Blind Playthrough.”
If you are curious as to where we are going with this, yes, Steve Saylor is legally blind…
…and he plays video games.
Strap in and find out how Steve is pulling off this Christmas Miracle as we welcome this knucklehead to the show. What started off as a wild idea has now evolved into a highly-anticipated event on Tee’s and Steve’s streams. Find out more in this episode from your Fireteam.

The Black Armory starts today, and the Fireteam are diving headlong into it in order to talk about it with you all. Until that time, enjoy this interview with Richard Sloniker. He’s an actor, a teacher, a theatre manager, but you all in the Tower know him as Cayde-6. “Wait a minute,” you say, “isn’t Cayde-6 played by Captain Tightpants himself, Nathan Fillion?” You would be correct on that, but Richard is the body behind the dearly-departed Vanguard. Once again, we go behind-the-scenes(recorded just before Forsaken was to go live) and talk with Richard about the incredible acting challenge behind motion capture.
Remember, Guardians, you can call into the show and give us your thoughts. Go on and reach out to us at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!
00:00 — Introduction
Hey, everybody, Brandon’s back.
Our favorite Vanguard might be dead, but he’s still giving good drop-in!
And we’ve got a special guest on Skype, just for you, Guardians…
1:07 — Episode #043: An Interview with Mo-Cap Actor Richard Sloniker (Part One)
Who is Richard Nguyen Sloniker, you ask?
Take a look at Richard in action…
Brandon O’Neill…the most wanted man in Destiny.
Looking at how an actor approaches mo-cap versus working with stage work.
From one actor to another…
Where motion capture and stage combat intersect
You might think setting up for mo-cap is pain-staking, but this isn’t Bungie’s first rodeo.
What comes first: the dialogue or the mo-cap?
There is no time to cross paths with the voice talents which is kind of a bummer.
Ladies and gentlemen, Richard Sloniker, gaming nerd.
Looking back on Richard’s appearance on Z Nation…
…and The Gamers, where it’s a real delight to make entertainment happen!
Returning to Destiny 2, talking about the death of Cayde-6….
17:55 — Hangry Gamer Gear
18:39 — An Interview with Mo-Cap Actor Richard Sloniker (Part Two)
Richard on the emotional attachment to Cayde-6 (and how much fun it is to play him)
So, about Brandon O’Neill…
Switching gears (as we do), we go into Seattle theatre. Specifically Azeotrope, presented by Richard Sloniker
What inspired this movement?
Azeotrope’s mission: Offering the spotlight to marginalized groups
And this guy got his degree in Science! (Wait…what?)
And now the Fireteam looks back on this beloved interview.
Working as an actor in today’s society
Attempting to serve several artistic muses…
Richard Sloniker, Warlock (GOOD MAN!!!)
What’s his jam in Destiny 2?
Gambit, the game mode that brings families together.
What’s Richard’s favorite Destiny mode?
An invitation for Richard Sloniker to join the Fireteam in Tee’s Crucible Clinic.
Dang, Richard is playing his PS4 like a boss!
So where can people find me Richard Sloniker online?

We have been away for far too long, but as Tee explains, we have not been far from the maddening crowd. Still streaming, still playing, and we are getting the podcast back on track this Black Friday. Let’s kick off the comeback with a really fun interview with Kevin McMullan, Voiceover Director for Destiny 2: Forsaken. Along with his experience into tapping into that which tugs on the heartstrings, Kevin also shares some wonderful stories from behind the scenes.
Remember, Guardians, you can call into the show and give us your thoughts. Go on and reach out to us at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!

On this show, we jump from topic to topic like a Warlock on Red Bull.
The process of planning a production, audition and casting, and character performance

Now, we want a Gary Busey Ghost….and a McConaughey Ghost….and a Walken Ghost…and………
On the level of talent involved in Destiny 2: Forsaken and how they become more engaging with the game and its players
Forsaken overhauls more than just the weapons slots.
The real joy of Forsaken: So much to do, and you decide what direction you want to take.

00:00 — Introduction
Welcome to words Tee can’t say.
So Nick and Brandon seem to be enjoying an inside joke…
Did you know we are live on Twitch? Because yeah, we are!
The magic of Twitch ? we have visuals now. God help us all.
3:05 — Episode #041: Welcome to Forsaken (Part One)
Forsaken is here, and we are all processing it.
For Ron, this is the Destiny we have been waiting for since the original.
Brandon and Nick are now joined by Stacia so the whole family is on board!
On the return of a Guardian’s voice…
Nick Kelly’s opinion in one word: Lore.
So. Much. Stuff. To do!!!
Tee would have finished the story by now, but dammit, Gambit!
Where Tee is at the story…
Brandon was focused in getting payback.
In Memorium…
The hidden gem of Forsaken: Spider
Ron, once again, stuck it out all Tuesday for Big Cat Rescue.
Brandon faces Principal Spider.
Forsaken overhauls more than just the weapons slots.
The real joy of Forsaken: So much to do, and you decide what direction you want to take.
Looking over the journey we have taken from Destiny 2, to Curse of Osiris, to Warmind, to this week.
21:12 — Headshots
24:31 — Episode #041: Welcome to Forsaken (Part Two)
And now, suddenly, technical difficulties…
Exotic Quests — brace yourselves.
Nick lays down some serious math on the Coach. The Grind is real!
The HHFTT crew imagine what the developmental meetings went for Forsaken.
The exotics feel exotic again.
If you think that that’s a Loot Cave you’ve found, think again.
Oh, Gambit…why can’t we quit you?
Take a look at this sound advice from TheTrueVanguard
Tee thought things feel slow now, but honestly, it was the adrenaline.
Special Shoutout to these guys — MikeTheIron and Averagewhiteguy2 — for being such a great Fireteam!
Yes, Gambit is worth all the hype, all the wait. And Tee is fired up.
The Phalanx are pains-in-the-ass!

Yes, it has been a bumpy summer between Man Flu, Day Job demands, and overall Life getting in the way; but WE ARE BACK!!! You can expect us to talk a bit about the Solstice of Heroes event happening right now on Destiny 2, but we need to tell you about something we just experienced in Tampa, Florida…
Oh yeah, baby, we went to GuardianCon 2018 and what an experience. We finally got around the mics to talk about how much fun we had and what we learned from the weekend in Tampa amongst Guardians, streamers, and gamers of all kinds. Were you there?

And here it is — the new HHFTT Crucible Battle Cry!
So…what happened to the HHFTT crew in June and July?
Tee gets the Man Flu, and passes it on to his Day Job.
Another setback: A special project that we are waiting to hear from, but for now, just know that we are waiting along with you…
There is a Forsaken show…that might be re-recorded now, but shortly after all this, there came this little event in Tampa, Florida.

Let’s talk about weapons and armor.
Nick and Coach try to cheat the game, but the Bungie boys are on it.
Nick will not surrender his A/O Feedbacks.
Coach has come back to the Sunshot. It’s a favorite.
How about a share of trash talk?
Tee’s feeling the love for sniper rifles (and some of the original D2 exotics) again, in particular the Borealis.
Ana’s weapons are kickass. Nuff said.
The guys…sans Tee…have achieved the Word-Line Zero. Tee’s got to get back into the grind…or the hunt.
“A man’s got to know his limitations.”
Ron’s Quest for Music Boxes…or Sleeper Nodes!
How are we feeling about the PVP changes?
The biggest change for us on the show? Jenny.
Serious love for TheBigMarvinski!
The Nightfall served as a fun romp for Tee, Marv, and Munch.

00:00 — Introduction
Timeshifting from Mother’s Day…
Taken out of context, TheBigMarvinski is even funnier.
This is fine. This is perfectly fine…
The Hunters are never good at rules are they?
Salty much there, Coach?

TODAY, the new Warmind expansion drops on May 8, and not only are we excited about it, so is our fearless leader of Current Meta: Danfinity.
Who is Danfinity, you ask?
Well, we are going to answer that question with this one-on-two chat (Yes, “two” as Nick is on a business trip at the time of this recording, so it’s just me and Brandon.) as we talk all about Clans and why they matter. We end with some hard talk about the Warmind which, at the time of the recording, was days away…
Now, it is a matter of hours.

00:00 — Introduction
Sensing a theme again…
Man, B, that’s a serious resume you got there.
No, Nick, but check it out, Danfinity is on the line!
Danfinity also goes by the nickname, The Collector. Here’s why…
2:52 — Episode #036: All About Clans (with Special Guest, Danfinity!)
Let’s get to know Dan and discover his journey…
Professor Broman served as Dan’s gateway.
Dan truly was tumbling through the void with Twitch.
Wait…what did he call this weapon?!
TeeMonster Rant INCOMING!!!!
And now, back to the interview…
When The Taken King and sword quests became available, Dan reached out to a random member of “Dads of Destiny” for help.
How a connection really happens
When Destiny 2 arrived, Dan had become an admin and a Raid sherpa. He was also ready to break out on his own.
Thus Current Meta was born.
In September 2016, Dan began to stream as an alternative to smoking.
Danfinity gives good interview!
What’s Dan’s Destiny Jam: THE RAIDS.
Why Tee can sometimes be a pain in the ass on Raids…
Current Meta is Danfinity’s Clan, but it is no longer his Clan.
Clan Engrams. Okay, here we go…
Tee HATES Clan Engrams.
And it turns out that Dan’s thoughts are very close to Tee’s own.
Dan reflects on his time with his time on the Destiny Tracker Podcast.
What could make Clan Engrams more unique? We got ideas.
Shout out to Vault of Sass!
Enthusiasm is contagious.
KILLER FIRST HALF…and we got more to come!
19:54 — Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra
20:35 — Episode #036: All About Clans (with Special Guest, Danfinity! — Part Two)
Putting Dan under the interrogation lamp…
Wacky Clan Names FTW!
What makes Current Meta’s reputation what it is.
Current Meta was all the talk on 3vil_Aura’s stream.
Tee, Brandon, it’s not always about you.
How Gaming Nerds became Legend? A lot of hard work.
So you want to join Current Meta? Here’s what you do…
Play D2.
Get on Discord.
“Discord is Facebook for Streamers.” — Danfinity
Some other ways to check on players’ activity
Destiny Clan Warfare
D2 Checklist
A shout out to Bibbletron!
Another secret in creating a successful Clan: Maintenance.
A big factor in making Clans work: Positive attitudes.
Why podcasters make great guests on other podcasts
Tee is still noodling through Dan’s earlier quote about Discord.
Right, so we’ve covered Clans. What else is Dan up to?
Sidequest Sunday
It was originally focused on content creators in the Destiny community, but Dan is now reaching out to people outside of the Cosmodrome.
Dan gives his listeners a sampler of what creative people can offer.
How easy was it to go from streaming to podcasting?
It was all baby steps, starting with a Playstation camera.
Slowly, Dan started to build, until he was actually BUILDING. A COMPUTER.
It was RocCityRoller who got him building his own Dream Stream Machine.
And then after getting his stream up and running, he focused on Sidequest Sunday.
Switching gears again…let’s talk about the Warmind DLC.
Brandon calls out the typo in Tee’s email.
Making expectations realistic…or absolutely NO expectations.
How Private Matches are going to affect the Clan
Looking forward to the Lore Dive
Let’s nerd out over comic books!
Have you seen the Warmind comic from Bungie?
So who is Mark Wade? Well now, Dan will tell you…
Nick is kicking himself right now.
Watching people return to Destiny 2…kinda nice.

Next week, the new Warmind expansion drops on May 8, and we are so excited about it…that this show is horrendously late.
Don’t worry, Guardians. We’re going to make it up to you.
We are talking about the Warmind Preview and share our hopes for what’s coming next week. And hey, after listening to our anticipation, why not share with us your anticipation at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com.

Saturday Morning Cartoons, coming to Tee’s Twitch

7:49 — Episode #035: The Warmind Preview
Yes, the preview is last week, but we’ve been busy.
Maybe we were torturing Brandon.
Better pack your snowboots, Guardian!
Turning to our show historian…
Nick gives us a rundown of who Clovis-Bray is…or was, in our current timeline.
Dr. Ana Bay tried to warn her superiors at Clovis-Bray about the Warmind. It’s in her journal.
You know how to get to Ana’s journal, right?
WeLoveYouPeterParker
Some more Ana Bray lore.
“Dear, Bungie…”
Brandon’s expectations after seeing the Twitch stream
DAT SHOTTIE and DAT SMG…
Citing Gamespot’s own write-up on the Warmind reveal
Is Warmind sizing up to be a reaction to the community’s ire with Destiny 2?
A sidebar about American Express because this is us.
The preview promises a better direction for the game.
Will hardcore gamers come back to it? Depends on the game du jour…
Remember when Sea of Thieves was the game to play?
Is Fortnite no longer the new shiny?
Nick is still not going into the Crucible.
24:40 — Nutty Bites
25:19 —Episode #035: The Warmind Preview (Part Two)
How many beers are you drinking, Tee?
Welcome to Nick’s jam in Destiny!
Let’s talk about the Escalation Protocol.
This is a Guardian-controlled Public Event. (Like Archon’s Forge…but different.)
Anyone can join the EP Event…but if you have not finished the story, it’s gonna get nasty.
New week, new Boss.
The Valkyrie…Brandon want.
Expectations for the Protocol
There were some sweet looking weapons—old and new—coming our way!
As if the Hard Light wasn’t nasty enough.
The Tractor Cannon — it is TROLLTASTIC!
Suddenly, the Strum/Drang combination matters.
And, DAT SHOTGUN…
What to look forward to with the return of Private Matches. Quality Time with Friends…
More Crucible changes

A unique weapon for ranking in the Crucible
New maps, good fun

The anticipation is building for the new Warmind expansion coming this May 8 from Bungie, so what do we at the Tower do to pass the time? Well, we get together and play some Destiny 2, of course…
…and yeah, we play other games as well.
Shocked, are you? You shouldn’t be. We love Destiny, as you know; but we play other games as well. Today on Happy Hour from the Tower, Tee, Nick and Brandon kick back and talk about other games they play outside the confines of the Cosmodrome. Doesn’t mean we think Destiny is no longer worthwhile. Variety, after all, is the spice of life.
What about you? What games do you play between Ion Banners? Do you play with your Fireteam, or with completely different people? Let’s hear your thoughts or feedback at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!
00:00 — Introduction
Wouldn’t it be cool if Failsafe was on the show?
Still no love for that Brother from another mother on Mercury…
Wouldn’t it be cool if Sloan was on the show?
These jokes is still not old to us.
1:12 — Episode #034: Yeah, We Play Games…
Changing gears here at the Tower to talk about gaming from a perspective outside of Destiny.
We saw what you did there, Brandon.
So, you might have noticed that some people aren’t playing Destiny 2. So what are they playing?
Did you know Nick has a Nintendo Switch?
He didn’t but it for Zelda…
…nor did he buy it for the plumber.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 — Nick’s Nintendo Obsession
Well, it would be an obsession…if he played it.
What keeps bringing Nick back to Xenoblade…
Shout-out to Video Game Heaven in Virginia Beach.
In between trying to find time for Xenoblade 2, Nick’s passion for movie reviews is back.
Now Brandon is never short on video game reviews on the Geek Wolfpack Podcast, and it’s because he’s playing…
Both Friday the 13th: The Game and Dead by Daylight
A little detour to talk about Until Dawn…
…and some shout-out’s to Twitch streamers ZG Photo and SinCity. (That’s SinCityBossRox, Tee.)
Brandon has returned to The Division. Here’s why.
Evolve takes a backseat to Overwatch and…The Sims? Really?
20:05 — This Kaiju Life
20:34 — Episode #034: Yeah, We Play Games… (Part Two)
Twitch streamers are returning to Destiny, but not the current release…
Looking back on Destiny and the slippery slope we’re trying to avoid.
So, Tee, what are you playing on your stream?
Mondays belong to Munch and a little sensation called Fortnite.
Tee is not into the “Battle Royale” games, but he is loving Fortnite.
EDITOR’S NOTE: We recorded this show before Brandon won his first victory. Since then, he’s into it.
Tee’s got a morning crew for Fortnite.
Munch
Chavalaar
Michi
…and now, Trushuks!
On Thursday, Tee hosts #ThrillerThursday
His first game for this event? The Tomb Raider reboot.
Nice lead up to the Tomb Raider movie with Alicia Vikander. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Watched it! LOVED it!)
Tee wants to stream Bioshock, but there’s a problem…
What are we looking ahead to play?
Tee’s looking ahead to the steampunk adventure, The Order 1886.
Nick wants to play Fallout 4 on account of a friend of the show…
Brandon — and a lot of other people — are waiting for Cyberpunk 2077.
And there’s the speculation around Anthem.
Brandon is also looking forward to…
Detroit Become Human
State of Decay 2
Hunt Showdown
Last of Us, Part 2 (a favorite of The Expanse’s Cas Anvar)

00:00 — Show ID
00:09 — Introduction
Picking up a theme in the introduction drop-in’s?
You got to admit — that was a good compilation intro!
Hold on, we’re having this debate now?!
Brandon is kind of young for Tee’s drop-in…
This had got to be the fastest we’ve hopped off the rails.
2:11 — Episode #033: The “Go Fast” Update
Seriously, Tee, how appropriate is that drop-in?
What we know about the “Go Fast” update?
Full details on Update 1.1.4 can be found here.
Nick is still not a fan of speed…nor Brother Vance.
A conversation between Nick and Dan.
Nick does love his Feedback Fence.
If you were thinking that TheTeeMonster was unstoppable on Sunday, here is the truth….
This update is Brandon-approved! Here’s why.
Reflections on Mayhem.
A few details on the Sandbox changes to Guardians’ supers
The difference between movement in D1 and D2
Thanks a lot, Nick.
Silicon Neuroma. Named like a Jaeger, sounds like a perfume.
Let’s talk about Brandon on an Arcstrider.
Nick’s reason for the podcast is way more paranoid.
Tee was a little surprised by how fast he was as a Titan.
The warm-up made him dizzy.
Tee’s the monkey wrench in the raid lair.
Got more to talk about, as we usually do…
15:53 — The Shared Desk
16:53 — Episode #033: The “Go Fast” Update (Part Two)
Okay, Tee is going to mix it up with the “speed” drop-in’s…
…but Tee wants to give Ezra Miller props.
And as we are talking about the Crucible and Destiny, Nick talks about hockey.
The Las Vegas Golden Knights did something incredibly cool…
Did you want to hear more hockey news? Swing by the sister-podcast, the Geek Wolfpack Podcast.
What you can now expect from the Dawnblade
Stepping into Rumble…
Thoughts on the Nightfall after the “Go Fast” update
Blink, and you will miss iLulu running the Pyramidion.
Running for the Silicon Neuroma.
Be careful what you wish for, Guardians.
At the Nightfall… “We hate you, Travis.”
At the Raid… “We hate you, Tee.”
Breaking on a Clan Talk tangent…
…to go on another tangent about the last Faction Rally.
For Tee: The Grind. In particular — Archon’s Forge.
What we can get away with because Stacia Kelly doesn’t listen to the podcast.
Talking about the Grind…
Anyone else miss Archon’s Forge from Destiny?
Why a “Battle Royale” in Destiny 2 would be a bad idea?
A little bit of Fortnite talk. (Yes, this is a Destiny podcast, we know…)
Bring us back to Destiny 2, Nick!
Returning to 6v6 in the Crucible
Quitter Penalties — thoughts?
The truth about 1.1.4
Shout-outs to 3vil_Aura and ZGPhoto, and their opinions of the update

00:00 — New Promo: The One-Year Anniversary
01:15 — Introduction
We hit the ONE YEAR mark!!!
Brandon drop those sick beats on a whim!
The band is back together so hold on to something.
The previous episode…silly fun, right?
Brandon is now fourteen, and single….ladies….
3:33 — Episode #032: A Podcast Turns One Year Old (Part One)
So after one year, should we just repeat ourselves like Bungie has been doing with Destiny 2?
We have This Week at Bungie or “TWAB” so if we called this podcast This Week at the Tower….
Our first “official” episode covered the Age of Triumph!
We had an issue with re-recording episodes, and Nick took offense…
Tee’s got a few “Lost Sectors” in the buffer, donchaknow?
Aaaaaaaand we’re off the rails…
We did a few shows, the three of us, but Coach made his first appearance on the Reveal of Destiny 2.
How the Happy Hour happened…
This was a podcast that made us fall in love with Destiny all over again.
Nick’s reason for the podcast is way more paranoid.
It started on a dungeon crawl.
Nick was hooked by the name.
Nick silently implies a lot on mic, so you can imagine what we are implying here.
What we have done in a year?
31 official shows, including weekly shows between the Beta and Destiny 2
The Dog Days of Advent
FictionFriday
Video segments
Special columns on the blog…
…and then Brandon slams the brakes on this show!
And the interviews!
Proudest Moment on the Podcast for the hosts
For Ron: When we got real about Bungie
For Nick: The Voice Actor Interviews
For Brandon: Being a part of the podcast
For Tee: Watching Brandon come out of his podcasting shell…
23:07 — Geektitude
23:39 — Episode #032: A Podcast Turns One Year Old (Part Two)
Remembering Joy-O.
Nick is taking the command of this Fireteam. Here we go…
A look back on Episode #6: Baby’s First Raid
The numbering of the episodes are a little off. So. Much. CONTENT.
And that episode brings up Brandon’s sore point about the Leviathan.
A change in clans offers options.
And a tangent on Raids late is revealed.
Nick’s hatred of Brother Vance knows no depths.
What do we miss from Destiny 2 that we would like to come back.
For Ron: The disconnect between the Raid and the Endgame
For Tee: The Grind. In particular — Archon’s Forge.
The beauty of “one more game” during Forge Weapons…
What we would like to see coming in the future for Destiny 2…
For Brandon: A new Vex Raid on remastered planets from Destiny.
For Ron: An improvement in social interactions on the individual platform.
For Tee: New missions on new planets
And Ron drops an amazing creative bomb to ponder for a future DLC or Destiny 3…
A few true confessions from Coach to end the show on.

This is probably one of the goofiest shows we have ever recorded. This means you should kick back and enjoy the listen. We’re just having a good time with this show topic.
On Happy Hour from the Tower, we’re going bi-lingual with vocabulary common for gamers but maybe not-so-common outside of the console. Tee presents in a game show format what Guardians are speaking on Twitch and in Fireteam Chat, and Nick & Brandon try to figure out what these terms mean.
Remember, Guardians, to leave us your feedback at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!
00:00 — Introduction
Damn, Tee. Sick burn.
The guys…are not impressed.
Jumping into the show topic, completely kicking back, propping out feet up, and learning a new language.
1:10 — Episode #031: The Language of Destiny (Part One)
Ever wonder what people are talking about when on Destiny? Well, here we go…
Brandon? Yeah, he plays games!
B has returned to The Division! MY GOD, THE APOCALYPSE IS NIGH!!!!
Thank you, Predator.
Know your Arnie flicks!
TRIVIA: Do you know who was to originally play the Predator?
Titanfall 2 and Overwatch are also in rotation. So is Rock Band 4. (Kickin’ it OLD SKOOL!)
“Hey, you, dumbass. You in the tank…” and other Walking Dead references.
Gamer Speak #1: POTATO
Nick comes up with a clever definition…
…but as Brandon explains, it is wrong.
Gamer Speak #2: O.P.
Tee takes a moment to brag about the boss chair of his.
Brandon throws his dad a clue…
…but the guys kinda dig Nick’s Titan-centric definition.
There is a second definition for this one, too.
Shout-out to Prometheus Lens and Snowballs!
Gamer Speak #3: THE WAMBO COMBO
No, Nick, it’s not a brand of Tequila.
Brandon doesn’t know it either?! What?! This is a Hunter term, B!
And yes, this is a fun strat!
Gamer Speak #4: STRAT
Well, come on, dumbass, you know this! You’re a musician…
Brandon nails it.
Gamer Speak #5: GALLY
Nick nails it on the first try!
Reminiscing on D1 joy
Gamer Speak #6: R.I.P.
Nick takes a header.
Brandon’s got it though.
Gamer Speak #7: GG / GFG / G-effin’-G
Nick knows this one.
….and he takes a higher road on explaining the variant definitions of this term
12:52 — The Steam Rollers Adventure Podcast
14:03 — Episode #031: The Language of Destiny (Part Two)
Nick is caffeinated, everyone!
A quick moment in Sportsball…
Gamer Speak #8: #SLAMANDA
Want to know more? Listen to this!
Hey now, I’m ready for the #SLAMANDA show! How about you?
Gamer Speak #9: JUICEBOX
GG’s, Nick!
Presently, Nick’s record is better than both the Browns and the Lions combined!
Gamer Speak #10: CRISPY
Nick guesses the terms is related to another gamer term — SALTY — but he falls short.
Brandon, while he is familiar the term, doesn’t feel that he knows it.
Gamer Speak #11: SAVAGE
Another win for Nick!
Brandon’s not keen on the term on account of burnout at school.
Sharing a little love for Key & Peele.
Gamer Speak #12: VOOPING
Shout-out to 3vil_Aura for this gem!
Nick gives it a go…
…but Brandon uses the term as a platform.
Swing by our YouTube channel for some vooping fun, like this…
Gamer Speak #13: LOADOUT
Nothing but net for Nick on this one!
Yes, Nick is now digging the life of a sword wielder!
What are your loadouts?
Gamer Speak #14: ADDS & BOSSES
And he sticks the landing with three in a row!!!
Okay, the Game of Death reference is pretty ballin’ when you think about it.
Gamer Speak #15: REKT / REK’D
Not to be confused with RETCON from comic books.
Brandon’s got it.
Gamer Speak #16: POLEDANCER
This one’s for B.
No Hunter love today.
Taking a break from the quiz show to talk about game time with friends…
….and we stumble into rapid-fire movie quotes.
Gamer Speak #17: SWEATY
Nick may not know it, but he nails it!
Brandon with that crispy definition…
Gamer Speak #18: NADES
Nick knows more than he leads on…
….and we immediately go to the next one….
Gamer Speak #19: SHOTTIE
Now our resident Titan is on a roll!
Let’s stick with this theme…
Gamer Speak #20: D.P.S.
And the streak comes to a close.
Brandon is very familiar with this term.
A brief aside on Overwatch and Brandon’s strats within it.
Gamer Speak #21: KINDERGUARDIAN
Another win in Nick’s column which doubles as an endorsement for our earlier episodes.
The caffeine is kicking in hard for Nick.
Gamer Speak #22: BLUEBERRIES
We kick off with Brandon on this round, and that is fun in itself.
Wait — he gets it wrong?!
A variant of RANDOS only with one major difference.
Gamer Speak #23: MODS
Kind of like the pizza chain, but different.
This is a term covering a lot of the games we play.
Gamer Speak #24: SPAMMING
Can be applied to chat messaging…and email…but…….
Brandon gets specific with Destiny, and that leads into……
Gamer Speak #25: SALTY
All of us know this one.
Want to know what brings out the salt in a game? See the next term…
Gamer Speak #26: CAMPING / CAMPER
Nick knows this behavior from another game…
Nice to be able to take your fun remotely.
Gamer Speak #27: AGRO
Why does Nick think he doesn’t know this stuff?
When a game slips into overkill for B…
Gamer Speak #28: BUNGO
Nick ends with a win!
And we shamelessly plug Starla Huchton. So there.
So what other games are we playing?
Tee’s playing Fortnite.
Brandon is getting deeper and deeper into Friday the 13th: The Game.
Tee has Alien: Isolation…and he is terrified of it. This game scared Phil Rossi!
Tee wants to do Horizon Zero Dawn but Warframe was free.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is on Nick’s Switch, and he is happy about that.
What a note to end on…

When the guys at the Tower wrapped their interview with the voices behind Amanda Holliday and Field Commander Sloan, they figure it would be a stretch before they got the opportunity to interview any more of the talented voice cast behind Destiny 2.
Then Nick started sending out emails, and someone replied “Sure!”
Guardians, you are going to want to sit down for this one. Check out who’s paying a visit to the Tower…
Tee, nick, and Brandon open up the mics for one of the newest voices in the Destiny-verse as well as someone brand new to video game voice acting. It’s the multi-talented Joy Osmanski (Failsafe), making herself right at home in a community that welcomed the dual-personality A.I. with open arms and rave reviews. Joy gave a voice and a personality to the wise-cracking computer that, the guys argue, walked away with some of the funnier lines in the game; and now, the actress known for appearances on Grey’s Anatomy, Castle, and Santa Clarita Diet, finds herself much like Failsafe: in alien territory.
Remember, Guardians, to leave us (and Joy) your feedback at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you! So would Failsafe. And Failsafe, as well.
00:00 — Introduction
TitanTuesday on Tee’s morning Twitch broadcasts (archived here on YouTube) are opening his eyes at the appeal of the class.
The guys giggle at new drop-in’s Tee picked for the show.
Picking up a theme in the drop-in’s.
No time for the pre-show shenanigans as we have a special guest on the mic…
1:43 — Episode #029: An Interview with Joy Osmanski (Failsafe)
HOLY HANNAH IN A HANDBASKET THE SEQUEL, FAILSAFE IS ON THE SHOW!!!
Hold on. Joy is nervous about being on this show?
So, first question about Joy’s experience with video game voiceovers…
Wait — this is Joy’s first go-round in video game voice acting?!
Mad props to Destiny 2 Voice Director Kevin McMullan.
So, it wasn’t how she prepped for this, so much as she just took a leap of faith.
The Guardians offer their services for Joy as sherpas.
Nathan Fillion was the comic relief…until you reach Nessus. What is the inspiration behind the performance in Failsafe?
The line between Joy and Failsafe is a thin one.
The solitude of voice acting (Come on, cons — get Joy out to some of these conventions!)
For a computer, Joy brings a lot of emotion to your performance, especially the “O Captain” quest. (SPOILER ALERT!) As an actor, how does Joy bring emotion to a character that is a computer?
More mad props to Kevin.
Failsafe joins an exclusive club of A.I. Illuminaries…
Other jobs that Failsafe could do between her Destiny 2 and DLC gigs.
Joy’s reaction to the end result, but hey — she still has not seen the whole plotline. Might we suggest on YouTube…
The Guardians are determined to help this self-proclaimed luddite deeper into this world.
When running with the guys in D2, remember this rule: NO TALKING WHEN FAILSAFE TALKS.
15:35 — Headshots
17:11 —Episode#029: An Interview with Joy Osmanski (continued)
What a rejoiner!
And Tee calls out Courtnay and Cissy. So it begins.
More on Joy Osmanski and her acting chops
This podcast is now officially one degree from Kevin Bacon.
How do you get a career like Joy’s? Two words come to mind…
There’s a LOT to Joy Osmanski.
Where Joy finds her passion as an actor…
Nerding out over the Stage Theatre lifestyle
So let’s talk about Cayde…
Is Nathan Fillion professionally stalking Joy?
Joy may not be a Guardian..but she is a Browncoat!
When an actress’ talents are challenged
Will Failsafe be hitting the tour circuit anytime soon? (She’s ready!)
Big shout-out to Courtnay and Cissy who would make great con sherpas for Joy.
What other projects are coming up for Joy?
Santa Clarita Diet
The Fosters
Showing the love for Netflix…
…and for The Fosters.
And she’s not slowing down anytime soon.

This is your Fireteam — Tee, Nick, Brandon, and Ron — firing up their respective microphones and talking honestly about the state of their beloved game, Destiny. It started with a query from XBox Guardian, occasional Twitch streamer, and D1 veteran Kevin O’Connor. It became a conversation that needed to happen here at Happy Hour from the Tower. There is some rough-around-the-edges talk here (especially from Tee) so this particular episode is not safe for work or for consumption around younger listeners.
The Guardians will still patrol the EDZ, the Rig, and the Hallows…but they just have to unpack their thoughts.
