The team sat down with returning guest co-host Man at Arms to chat about their thoughts on the new Prophecy dungeon from a mechanics standpoint as well as the new light that it shone on our understanding of the figures known as The Nine. After a quick run through of the information that the community has about the group, the hosts take up the debate on what the Light and the Darkness is - as well as the mysterious force that might lie in the middle between the two 'sides.' This, of course, leads to a few thoughts being shared pertaining to the upcoming powers that Guardians will be introduced to in the upcoming Beyond Light expansion.

This week, the team walked through the entries from the lore book, Truth to Power - a collection of entries that cause as much confusion as contention within the Destiny community, it seems.

Pardon the team this week, but we took a little time to speak to a few current events both in and out of game. If you prefer to skip this commentary, please feel free to skip to 34:30 on the episode. Thanks, as always, for giving us your ear and we would love to hear any of your thoughts, concerns, or questions!
This week, the community question segment ran long due to a great debate, so Blue cut the intro notes and jumped directly into the meat of the episode. The team took a more conversational approach to the debates around the character detailed within this week's lore topic, the Warlock Aunor - a lively topic, as the team themselves are divided a bit on where everyone stands in regards to not just the Praxic Warlock herself, but the overarching choices presented to players within the Allegiance Quest.

This week, join Green, Beard, and Blue as they explore the information contained within A Man with No Name - the lore book that we received recently in Destiny 2 that details out the history of the Drifter. Prepare yourself - this one's a bit of a lengthy chat, clocking in close to 3 hours. But we're pretty sure it's a worthwhile one - there are a few tangents, but they ultimately do come back together to form one of the most detailed looks at this new NPC that we have seen so far.

Warning: This week's episode is a bit longer than usual - but Blue felt it was better to keep it as a single file for you to listen to rather than trying to break it into 2-3 segments.
This week, join Blue and Green as they dive into the depths of the Book of Unmaking, which we acquired recently in Destiny 2 via The Draw exotic quest. The lore book offers an amazing look into the story of the Shadows of Yor - and while it does answer a few questions, the ones that it raises are even more intriguing.

Blue did mention an incorrect translation of the timeline during this episode in regards to the timing of the events for the Scorn - apologies for any confusion there. The Barons & Scorn were around prior to Fikrul and Uldren meeting; it was the introduction of corrupted Ether that specifically happened after their encounter.

Fair warning, video is an unfiltered (yes, this is a more mature stream) and completely unedited stream - there is mature language and Blue does get distracted by gameplay. You have been warned.
This week, Blue and Beard sit down to discuss the legend and legacy of the figure of Dredgen Yor within the Destiny universe. The release of information that came with the arrival of the Drifter and the opening of Gambit to the players has brought this conversation back into the forefront of our minds - and while we still have many questions, there are a few answers that we discuss here. Note that we aren't discussing (yet) the information which is expected to become available in the upcoming exotic quest, The Draw - though it is strongly connected to this topic.

This week, we take a closer look at the Black Armory and the history that is available to us through the words of its initial founder, Henriette Meyrin, as captured within the Black Armory Papers. These papers present a new and unique point of view of not just the Collapse and newly Risen, but a perspective that we haven't encountered much of so far in the story of Destiny - a view of these events from the eyes of a mortal Human, colored by intimate knowledge of what had been lost in the Collapse. Yet all ends, as painful as they are sometimes, are also beginnings - and the final chapter of Henriette's life presents to us an amazing introduction to the figure of Ada-1.

This week, we take a look at the group who tried to establish a way to defend humanity without the help of the Traveler. These individuals, who formed a group known in game as the Black Armory, had a problem with letting the means to defend themselves reside in the hands of something as alien and unknown as the Traveler. They opposed the comfortable complacency that the naive response to the arrival of the Traveler created in their eyes - and this is the start of the conversation about the information that we have so far in game.

The follow up conversation (or as Beard labeled it, "Side B") to the Marasenna episode recorded the previous Friday - this is a conclusion of sorts (because nothing is ever done when it comes to lore) to the examination of the introduction to the Awoken people and a start of the peeling away of the veil that hides some of the larger picture within the Destiny universe. It is within the Marasenna that we begin to start to see that Destiny is more than just a battle of individuals - more than the struggle between species. It is truly a struggle of competing philosophies and ideologies - the never ending conflict between the cosmic law and the will of those who live within that cosmos.

This week we answer the question of "would you like to know more" with a resounding YES - diving into the bread crumbs of information that are able to be gleaned from some of the new collectible scans in the Warmind DLC for Destiny 2.

This week takes the team not just under the surface of the newly unlocked Mars, but also into the pages of Grimoire and information from Destiny 1 - because in order to understand the weight of the new information about the Worm Gods, you have to go back to the start and learn about their history. We'll take a look at things such as the pact with the Hive, the possible implications that Nokris and Xol's presence on Mars alongside Rasputin has within the story, and even thoughts on if Calus himself had any interactions - along with some jokes at the expense of the currently running Faction Rally (of course).

This week, the team takes a bit of a step back - looking over the progression of our Guardians' story and where it potentially could be headed. Blue also answers a few comments at the start - so please be sure to weigh in on that to make sure we're on the right track! While it's not something that is often discussed within the game's dialogue or story itself, the potential of the Guardian and Humanity as a whole is a rather significant plot point that is also a great launching point for a number of other discussions (as you'll find here) - we hope you enjoy the chat!

This week, the team takes a break from the recent DLC for Destiny 2 (don't worry - we have a point in the episode where we chat a bit about our thoughts on it) to look a bit deeper into the trade of gunsmithing. Blue speaks to the history of this profession, not just in the game-world, but also outside in our own world before the team explores the nature of the smiths that we do know of in game. Banshee-44 is discussed (along with the new light that some of the recent lore updates have given us on him), as well as some of the lesser known figures, such as Gaunt and The Stoic.

This week, the team welcomes back PurpleChimera as we jump into the snippets of information that we have gotten for the upcoming Warmind DLC in Destiny 2. And don't worry, Blue and Beard are back to the normal disagreement and tangents on philosophy and science trivia for everyone. The source of information discussed in this episode was also the initial piece of lore in a new format for the community - one that has become known as "Weblore" (links to these particular records can be found in the show notes over at www.focusedfirechat.com for those interested. This being said, sit back and enjoy a dive into not just an examination of the crumbs we've received, but also some theories on how those tidbits could end up affecting the overall story of the Destiny universe.

This week, the team travels to 7066 Nessus to get to know a bit more about that crazy AI vendor, Failsafe. At the start, however, we dive a bit into our initial thoughts and opinions (and a bit of a response to some more obvious thoughts) on the recent reveal of the upcoming DLC for Destiny 2, Warmind. After that, we jump out of the game world for a bit to explain some scientific facts about Nessus - to better understand what makes this place a little more important than it might seem on the surface. After going through a basic introduction of Failsafe, as well as some of the hints that we have about her origin, the team also takes a closer look at some of the lore entries for more insight into Failsafe's character.

This week, the team returns to the Tower to examine the mysterious frame known as Benedict 99-40 - a subject which admittedly is pretty sparse on details. However, there is a fair amount to be gleaned from the information that we have managed to gather so far concerning Frames in general within the world of Destiny...though you'll notice that this episode is a bit shorter than normal. Blame Blue for that. And remember - Embrace his name! All glory to the Emperor!

This installment of the Extra Lore series takes the team to a world where players are invited to experience the ultimate hunting experience - a world full of monsters that are as amazingly fascinating as they are dangerous. The Monster Hunter series revolves around nature & discusses the search for balance within this new world - indeed, this balance with nature is one of, if not the, most important themes of the series' story. However, this series is largely portrayed visually - which, while this medium presents an awesome sense of immersion to the game, it also makes detailed critical analysis frustrating at times. Much of the information in this series is gained through inference of the material offered.

This week, we're visiting the moon of Io to spend some time with everyone's favorite grumpy Awoken Warlock - Asher Mir. The team chats about not just the history of the Gensym Scribe we met back in Destiny 1, but also the underlying nature of the Vex given some of the new information from this week's 1.1.4 update (known as the "Go Fast Update" to many in the community) and even gets into a few tangents about memory, Ikora and her troubled relationship with her Ghost, and why Beard feels so connected to Asher. Also there is a bit of a debate on, given the changes in the game, who now has the better "jump" between the hosts.

The team comes back together to discuss the series of conflicts that defined the early days of the Last City on Earth - from the mysterious figure of Lysander and his militant Concordat to the questions that still are unanswered about the nature of what makes the Great Factions so great, get ready for some good chatter this week. Also note that Beard now has a new nickname (check out the conversation at about 1:20:00 in the episode for that tidbit) and we have two major announcements that we're really excited to bring you at the end of the episode (starting at about 1:53:00 for those).

Episode 125 brings Blue, Green, and Beard back together to discuss the updates that Destiny 2 brings to the table in regards to the elusive figures known as "The Nine" - fair warning, for something that there really isn't much on, the team has a LOT to talk about. There are tons of connections that have yet to be woven together in the game (though we are starting to see a bit of that through the introduction of the Emissary and the Third Spire) - add that to the ramifications of the science displayed in game as well as some of the symbols revealed...and get ready for what the team has started calling one of our "FFC TED Talks".

Episode 124 brings Blue, Justin, Green, and Beard back together to chat about the updates in Destiny 2 for the Warlock class - and yes, this time we have a Warlock present to defend the class from the Hunters. We spend a good amount of time discussing the thoughts and theories that we see from Ulan-Tan and the possible ramifications in the game world, as well as diving into a bit of Asher's story and his connections to the Vex. As much as it pains Justin, we do explore the Ophidian Aspects for a bit, before moving to the vampiric Karnstein Armlets.

Our 24th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue and Beard together to reminisce on one of the earlier titles in the First Person Shooter genre, DOOM - and jokingly explain their way through yet another series that both enjoyed (and supposedly didn't have a story). So, gear up for some ripping and tearing as we dive headfirst into the hellish landscape that is the DOOM series - but don't worry, we don't leave all the jokes behind...it wouldn't be FFC without someone making fun of things.

Episode 123 brings Blue, an extremely tardy Justin, Green, Beard, and returning special guest co-host PurpleChimera back together to discuss a rather hot topic at the moment - the "problem" of biased presentation of in-game story information. Namely - is it a problem? The group hashes it out among them (and yes, we're back to the familiar group of Blue and Beard not really being on the same page), using figures such as the Speaker, Osiris, Toland, and even real life examples such as stereotypes in music, the historical research and experiences of Purple, and the dangers of angering abstract artists (GG, Justin).

In the Focused Fire Chat Snapshot series, Blue invites you to take a quick look at some of the trivia connections that can be found within items from throughout the games that the FFC community enjoys. In our second episode, we take a look at the Orpheus Rig exotic armor from Destiny 2 - discussing notes from the etymology and explanation of the item's name to a look at the possible implications that information could have on the overall understanding of Nightstalkers within the game's universe.

Episode 122 brings Blue, Justin, Green, & Beard back together to dive into the lore that we have concerning the Exo race (focusing heavily on Guardians, since that's a predominately the information that we have in Destiny 2) and their relationship with the concept of artificial intelligence. A big question that keeps getting brought up is: is the Exo 'mind' an artificial construct...or is it a natural intelligence which lives within an artificial shell? Is there a difference, at the end of the day? Why are Beard and Blue agreeing with each other so much?

Alla Breve is an introduction to the importance of the music in Destiny.
Fair warning for those reading or listening to this: This piece is an introduction to the music in the game of Destiny and its intriguing historical, mathematical, and scientific ties. What it is not is an all-inclusive explanation, being as I am not the composer but merely a musician who appreciates the dive into the various aspects of the music and hopefully into the mind of the composer himself.

Episode 121 brings Blue, Justin, and Beard together to discuss the little information we have on the mysterious figure of Nezarec within the Destiny universe - and also to give Justin a platform to announce his new campaign against sneks (tune in to the end of the episode for that...important announcement). While ultimately this episode is pretty light on confirmed connections - there are plenty of potential threads that connect the singular item we currently have on Nezarec to a few other pieces of trivial tidbits in the game.
Be sure to weigh in for the community question this week - it's gonna be a fun one to read everyone's answer to on the next episode!

Our 23rd installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Beard, and special guest co-host Receptor17 (known to many as the 'Nutty Welshman', even though Blue thinks it's Irish...don't ask) together to learn a bit about the insanely grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k. Prepare thyself - Receptor delivers an amazing amount of information...and this is just a scratch on the surface of the information that is available for consumption in 40k.
As stated at the end of the show - let us know if you enjoyed this one and if you'd like us to schedule a follow up with Receptor (and if so, what in particular you'd like to explore with us)!

Episode 120 brings Blue, Green, and Beard together to discuss the information that we have currently about the elusive Reef-born Awoken and their domain out in the further reaches of the solar system. Quite a bit of the chat is focused around the information that we had received near the end of Destiny 1 - though there are some tidbits that the community has received about the current situation in Destiny 2 that the team brings up near the conclusion of the episode.
Be sure to weigh in for the community question this week - it's gonna be a fun one to read everyone's answer to on the next episode!

Episode 119 brings Blue, Justin, Green, and Beard back together to discuss and debate the information that the community has about the infamous Worm Gods - the source of power behind the Hive in the world of Destiny. What are they? Are they related to the Ahamkara (the wish-dragons mentioned elsewhere, also presented as dangerous to the City in their own, unique way)?
The team tackles these questions, as well as delving a bit into the intricacies of the tithing of Light that the various broods of Hive seem to have and those implications this week. We also take a few minutes near the end of the episode to discuss the implications and unique challenges that the clarification of the bias of the presentation of game lore open up for the community - and our own personal thoughts on that, to a degree.
Be sure to weigh in for the community question this week - it's gonna be a fun one to read everyone's answer to on the next episode!

Episode 118 brings Blue, Green, and Beard back together to chat about the updated information that we've seen on the figure of Saint-14 within Destiny 2 - and to discuss a bit of the paradoxical nature of some of that information. Beard also takes a moment to tie in the discussion from last week with some theories in regard to Saint-14's updated information and the team has an amazing Dispatch this week that allows them to chat a little about some of the things that are going on in gaming communities as a whole.

Episode 117 brings Blue, Justin, & Green back together to chat about the shells that Ghosts use in the Destiny universe to show off their personalities - and surprisingly there is a fair amount of information to parse through.

Episode 116 brings Blue, Justin, Green, and Beard back together to chat about the Exodus Black, a crashed Golden Age colony ship that players encounter and establish as a base of operations for events on 7066 Nessus. Along with a lively discussion about the current caretaker of the wrecked vessel (an AI who goes by the name of Failsafe - and has quickly become one of the favorite topics of chatter in the Discord server), the team breaks down a number of different pieces of information and even delve into some of the potential effects of these new developments.

In the Focused Fire Chat Snapshot series, Blue invites you to take a quick look at some of the trivia connections that can be found within items from throughout the games that the FFC community enjoys. For our first episode, we take a look at the Nameless Midnight scout rifle from Destiny 2 - discussing notes from the etymology of the term midnight to examining a bit of what seems to be a connection between the gun itself and the poem from Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven.

Episode brings Blue, Justin, Green, and Beard back together to has out their thoughts on the Hive siblings (Oryx, Savathun, and Xivu Arath). A large point of the discussion focused on the Tablets of Ruin which Oryx used throughout the Books of Sorrow and their current location as well as questions about their true nature. There was also a healthy amount of discussion on the ability of resurrection which we see within the Ascendant Hive - and how that allows some interesting twists to the normal path of defeating such enemies.

Our 22nd installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and Beard together to learn about the world of Dead Space, something that Beard is happy to educate us on. Be prepared for an episode that actually allowed Blue a chance to be the one to derail the chat with random notes and questions - at the cost sometimes of Green's comfort in regards to Grimlins and headcrab beanies (trust us, it makes sense...kind of).

We also discuss the meaning of the mysterious term "aiat" as well as let Green and Beard explain what they think about this week's leaked Music of the Spheres files.

Episode 113 brings Blue, Green, Justin, and Beard back together to chat/argue about the dangers of artificial intelligence within the game world of Destiny - and, as usual, tangents stemming off that concept (especially ideas of what is artificial intelligence, the history of the concept, the developments within the real world, and even the psychological capabilities of artificial entities). The team is also looking forward to the new Spinfoil Saturday, which will be kicking off next week and is planned to be run every last Saturday of the month on Twitch - be sure to join in for the fun live chat as we discuss topics brought up by the chat while playing a variety of games for the evening!

Episode 112 brings Blue, Justin, Green, and Beard back together to discuss/debate the nature of Osiris, in light of the new information presented to players from the recent DLC, Curse of Osiris. The chat is more about the overall arc of the story, and while there are aspects of the new lore that is given to us in game, the predominate focus is the character of Osiris rather than any individual piece of information. In addition, this week's Lost Lore was also an Osiris themed topic - dealing with the relationship that existed between Osiris and Toland the Shattered.

Episode 111 brings Blue, Green, and Beard together to chat about the overarching power of Hope both within the Destiny universe and in our own. This episode is a bit of a tangent-filled exploration, as the topic itself is infused in just about everything that exists within Destiny - but ties in nicely with the Extra Lore episode that we had earlier this week.

Our 21st installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Beard, and returning guest co-host BelleBunny together to discuss the powerful story of Hellblade - well, at least Green and Belle do. Blue and Beard, having not gotten a chance to really play (Blue has watched some of the game played and all of the cutscenes) really took a chance to take a back seat to the conversation. A large point of the discussion with this particular title was that of the emphasis on mental health - inside and outside of the game.
Note that while the game itself is rather gruesome - we do manage to keep it pretty PG in regards to the chat. There are a bit of more brutal concepts discussed, so anyone who isn't comfortable or have Little Lights listening in with you should just keep that in mind.

Episode 110 brings Blue, Green, Beard, and Justin back together to discuss the updated information that we have regarding those fashionable Hunters - focusing especially on the changes to the subclasses made in Destiny 2. The group also takes a small deviation at the start of the chat to discuss the recent occurrences in the Destiny community as well as discuss a slight change to the layout of the show (please let us know your thoughts/feedback on the discussed changes!!). For the Lost Lore segment, Blue tried to keep it brief, given the longer than usual intro - but the group discusses the new Hunter groups that we've seen, the Dead End Cure and Icarus Drifters.

Episode 109 brings Blue, Green, Beard, Justin (yep, he's back!!), and special guest co-host Morcoire to discuss the new information that Destiny 2 has brought into the discussion on exotic weapons as well as the new exotic weapons themselves. The team also takes the chance to talk about the new trailer for the Curse of Osiris in regards to the implications that the information had in regards to some of our theories. We tried to keep the "spoilers" to a minimum - but there might have been a few minor ones that slipped through in the chat for the Lost Lore segment.

Episode 108 brings Blue, Green, and Beard back together to chat about the new information that we've seen so far in Destiny 2 on the Guardian Class of Titans - which includes a fair amount of 'refreshing' on the topic from information that was pretty well hidden within the Grimoire of Destiny 1. Get ready for some light-hearted chatter on the Titan Orders, Hosts, notable figures (alive, deceased, and those we still have yet to learn the fate of), as well as the subclasses we have available to us in Destiny 2.

Delving back into some of the information that the community received from Destiny 1 Grimoire and discussing the differing views of the Darkness which came about as a result of the events of the Collapse, the team nevertheless manages to have some enjoyable banter (and tangents - as is common with Blue and Beard).

Our 20th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Beard, and returning guest co-hosts DJ Kantrip and Damoel together to chat about the Marvel Universe (yep, we're doing it again!). We hit the ground at a pretty decent speed, and don't really let up as we careen through the more well known figures from the Marvel series (heroes and villains and....all the shades in between). Thankfully we don't trigger any Damo-rage (though we gain some insight on what pressure points are there for....future use).

Episode 106 brings Blue, Green, and returning special guest co-host Beard Grizzly to discuss the information that we have been able to piece together about the Cabal Empire through the information contained within the Emperor's Hit List (and a healthy chat about the Shadows of Calus and even Calus himself). As it tends to go, Blue and Beard tend to get excited with trivia connections - especially in regards to connections to historical events in the real world. The Lost Lore segment, while longer than the previous ones - gave us an option to also look at the new information that we have on some of the inner workings of the Cabal Empire.

Episode 105 brings Blue, Green, and returning special guest co-host Beard Grizzly together to chat about the updated information that we have in regards to the warminds (especially Rasputin) in Destiny 2. And as normal for when Blue and Beard get together, there are tangents that get brought up. We hope you enjoy the conversation! Lost Lore this week was actually in line with the topic - we discuss the details and symbolic importance of the different pieces of music within the Arecibo adventure. Green might have had a bit of fun preparing for that...

Episode 103 brings Blue, Green, and Justin together to chat about the changes that we've seen in Destiny 2 in regards to the Light that is used throughout the game series as our player's main power source. We also introduce the idea of a new segment for the show (name still pending) around the "Lost Lore" or the trivia facts that might not be readily known to players, due to not having the Grimoire to read any longer. The example we used in tonight's episode is that of Nezarec's Sin - a Warlock helmet with some interesting points about a pre Golden Age entity who might have had the ability to manipulate Light.

Our 19th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and returning guest co-host Damoel together to chat about the DC Universe (yes, the whole thing and no, we didn't cover all of it in 2 hours). Prepare yourself for a pretty entertaining roll through not only the creative history of the comic series, but also an excellent insight into the hosts's views on the main figureheads of the DC series...and an enlightening lesson in how to best trigger the Damo-rage.

Episode 102 brings Blue and Green back together to chat about the worlds that we are introduced to within Destiny 2 (at least at an introductory level for this particular episode). From the moss-covered European Dead Zone (EDZ) to the methane oceans covering Titan, the two walk through a basic look at the new regions we have, looking at the general themes and some of the trivial nuggets of information that have already been uncovered.

Episode 101 brings Blue and Green together to chat with each other about their first reactions to the new worlds offered by Destiny 2 - and to discuss what's already on their wish list for the game. Blue brings up the idea of viewing Destiny 1 as an "episode zero" in the series - including his concerns with that approach as well. Altogether, the reactions are immensely positive - and we're eager to see what the communities thoughts are in the coming weeks!

Episode 100 brings Blue, Green, Justin, AND MEL back together to chat about the past 100 episodes and the hopes for the next 100 that the team has - and to announce the winner of the digital copy of Destiny 2! We sprinkled in a few tidbits of joy and hilarity from the past couple of years for everyone to enjoy as well - call it a small sample of the shenanigans that often occur during the game streams that the team has throughout the week when we're not working on the podcast or at work itself. A huge thanks to you all again - and we can't wait to explore the future with everyone!

Our 18th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and returning guest co-hosts Damoel and BeardGrizzly together to chat about the amazingly complex stories involved in the universe of Final Fantasy. But don't worry - our guests have the information covered and are able to present it in a truly enjoyable fashion (albeit with a bit of slight disagreement on some of the finer points - which shouldn't be a surprise). Be sure to also stick around for the whole episode - as there are some good tangents (especially near the end where we dive into the Tactics series a little bit).

Episode 99 brings together Blue, Green, & Justin to...well, give the floor to the community. This entire episode was a collection of Dispatches from YOU - and we absolutely loved getting to relive all the great memories from these past years as we read and listened to your best memories. We cannot wait for what the future holds - and while we are excited for what lies before us, we enjoyed this opportunity to look back and take in all that has happened so far.
Per audacia ad astra, Guardians.

Our sixth installment of the Behind the Scenes series gave the team a chance to sit down with Jon Goff to chat about the process of creating one of the common interests for our community in particular - the stories we experience via video games. As one of the writers responsible for the creation of the vast and richly detailed world we see in Destiny, Jon brought a wealth of information to the conversation - from discussion on the inspiration of the infamous Story of Yor to a brief explanation of some of the different mediums and their process of character creation. It should also be noted that there are a few trivia points in this episode concerning the stories that he's written (as well as a great discussion about the subtle differences in motivating players to do what they need to do in a game.

Episode 98 brings Blue, Green, and special guest co-host Sir Wallen together to chat about those who seek to abolish the Consensus in favor of a new monarch - and who really like the color red. That's right - New Monarchy is on the chopping block this week...and, as we promised Green, we make sure to keep the salt out of the conversation (mostly). The team enjoys the opportunity to also chat about what they hope to see from the Factions as a whole in Destiny 2 - so be sure to stick around for that chat at the end as well!

Episode 97 brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-host BeardGrizzly together to talk (or at least try to talk) about the infamous Striker Titans. Fair warning - Beard and Blue feed off each other when it comes to jumping into tangents (one of which is Team Four Star, apparently), so be ready for some hilarious connections and jokes galore. The team starts off with the general concept of what makes the Striker titan different (especially from the other Arc subclasses) before moving onto discussion which figures in the current game we're pretty sure are members of this subclass. Finally, we tackle the difficult question of the explanation of the upcoming changes in the mechanics of the Striker as seen in Destiny 2.

Episode 96 brings Blue and Justin back together to discuss the electrifying figures of the Stormcaller Warlocks. Blue also takes a few minutes at the start of the show to discuss some developments that had been posted about over on the website for those who might not be in the Discord chat (jump in if you're not!) - so please be sure to weigh in on that as well! As always, the pair bring a sense of humor to the topic, and we truly hope you enjoy the conversation about those wielders of space magic who have a strong tendency to make it rain.

Episode 95 brings Blue, Green, and Justin back together to discuss those in the City who look beyond. Beyond the walls, beyond the earth, beyond even the Traveler and the supposed salvation that it offers humanity. They see another future among the light of other stars. They see the Traveler and Earth itself as nothing more than celestial bodies caught in a dead orbit - a name which, appropriately they have taken for their own.
And yes, Justin and Green have decided to go with the themed names - so bear with Blue while he tries to keep up with the shenanigans that are happening in the Discord server.

Our 17th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-host InfestedPotatoe together to take an introductory look into the rich world of Horizon Zero Dawn. While most of this episode is concerned with a general summary of the title (small spoiler warnings), there is also a discussion on the details of the different types of mechanical figures, the various purposes of the subroutines experienced in the game, as well as a very brief look at the history of the story-world that led to the events that the players experience in game.

Episode 94 brings Blue, Green, Justin, and returning special guest co-host, PurpleChimera together to chat about the Defender Titans - those stalwart warriors of the Light who protect the Last City from the forces of Darkness and who literally put themselves in the path of any who would do their allies harm. There are a few great side conversations (one of which is the exploration of Facebook that Justin details out...you have to hear that one to believe it) in this episode - so definitely be sure to stick around for the whole chat!

Justin amazes the crowd with his knowledge (and excitement) of how the abilities of the Bladedancer can be seen in our world via the electric currents, Blue (as always) dives into a tangent about the interesting trivia of the Mask of the Third Man, all the while Green and Purple put up a valiant fight to keep everyone on topic (they're really good at this, folks).

The intial conversation focuses around a recap of the timeline discussed in the previous Halo Extra Lore episode, but once we have the basic facts mostly out of the way, the debate over the morality of Halsey truly starts. We would love to hear your thoughts on this one especially - so be sure to send 'em in!

The team is glad to be headed back to a more normal schedule after the brief insanity of the Destiny 2 Reveal and then Guardian Con 2017 quickly afterwards (stories weave themselves in from those still) - and we're excited to see what the future has in store.

Prepare for some deep dives into theories on the nature of the Void, the perception of time, and even a summary of string theory as they all apply to the universe of Destiny. And remember: We are ill-equipped to understand [entities] that [defy] simple causality. Let us accept these limitations and proceed...and accept that all of this is speculation.

The team talks about the brief nods that the Grimoire offer to this infamous subroutine - and then dive into the theories (Why are Exos made the way they are? What is the connection between Bray and these machines of war? What exactly is the Deep Stone Crypt?). Get ready for a trip through the theories that the community has about the tower which calls to the Exos in their dreams.

Our 15th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-host Taylor-B together to chat about the rich details of the Titanfall universe - a game which got a pretty bad reputation from it's first title, but managed to completely reverse directions with the second title. As you'll find here, the details are immensely intricate - in a gameworld that is presented in a very episodic fashion - and draw from a number of different influences (at least it seems to from the hosts's points of view). Starting off with a general summary view of the Titanfall universe, the team quickly dives into a summary of the two titles storylines - which if you haven't had the chance to experience yet, definitely comes recommended by Taylor and Justin.

It was a true pleasure getting the chance to chat with Jake (also, this was our first BtS episode that we recorded live - which was a treat in itself) about how he approaches the challenges that he faced in getting started and still comes up against even today.

Episode 87 brings Blue, Green, and Justin together to chat about the updates that we've gotten over the last few months concerning the Last City within Destiny. Due to a lot of the new information actually being contained throughout a variety of fragments of different Grimoire cards and items instead of any signle card, the conversation does meander through topics a bit - so enjoy a conversation that delves into the philosophy of the Factions, the implications of the political structures of the Consensus, and even a bit of a chat about the underlying nature of the Guardians themselves (which will also be next week's topic!).
Oh - and we have a new website.

Episode 86 brings Blue, Green, and special guest co-host TTL Goose together to chat about a few different things. Fair warning, this episode is a bit longer than usual, because we actually start off on something of a non-lore note: Goose's Destiny 2 reveal experience and some amazing details about the well known app, Destiny Item Manager (DIM). Once we get done hyping over the reveal (we know - we're still excited, okay?!) - we get down to brass tacks and open Pandora's box: we start talking about the infamous Clovis Bray.
It's a good chat - but get ready for some deep tangents and debates on the importance of morality (queue Jurassic Park theme - believe me, you'll understand when you get to the part in the episode).

But first...we chat a bit about the recent Destiny 2 reveal that Justin had a chance to attend (we get a bit distracted by the hype...but it's a good conversation, so Blue left it in).
RYNO and Blue chat a bit about the potential nature of the Void in regards to the Destiny universe as well as the potential impact of the nature of that flavor of Light has upon the subclasses that utilize it.

Episode 84 brings Blue, Green, and Justin back together to chat about the lore that we have currently about those indomitable figures of titanic might, the Sunbreakers. The team (admittedly not Titans - fair warning) dives into the information that is presented within the Grimoire, items, and even a few specific missions (thank you, Bungie for those new sub-class missions!!) to dig out some intriguing nuggets of information about these fiery warriors. We also strongly recommend you stick around after the signoff - there might be a 'googly eyed' surprise for everyone.

Join the team and get ready to gear up with some good, basic knowledge (and some great side stories) about the world of Forgotten Realms and the joys of tabletop gaming. Also - Justin needs help figuring out what bits are on Twitch.

This special episode is a recording of the live stream that Blue was able to help out with for the Dames of Destiny a few weekends ago as a part of their GuardianCon 2017 'Fun-Raiser'. The topic was that of what the group nicknamed the "Ladies of Light" - and the live stream hosts were Blue, DJ Kantrip, Silvar_loki, and Morcoire. More of a collection of thoughts around the topic than a full episode, the team thought that it would be cool to let those who might have missed the opportunity to jump into the chat to hear everyone's thoughts!

Episode 83 brings Blue, Justin, and Green back together to chat about (and laugh over) the story behind the Wrath of the Machine raid within Destiny - from the "broken parentheticals" to a nightmarish concept of endlessly twisting steps of twizzlers, you should be entertained. We also chat about some of the awesome theories that were presented over on r/DestinyLore and from within our Discord chat - the community really had some great ideas on this one!

Granted, this is a shorter discussion than we normally have - but don't worry, Justin made up for the brief chat with commentary that brought both Blue and the chat close to tears. Usually of laughter.

As mentioned in the episode notes and show, we decided this week to provide a separate audio file for the Grimoire cards. This "Audio Grimoire Supplement" was put together by Blue and Green for everyone to have a chance to hear the Grimoire cards that fueled the conversation this week. Due to the number of cards mentioned (13 in total - ending up with roughly an hour of reading), we didn't want to sacrifice the depth of conversation on this amazing story.
Please be sure to also check out the amazing reading of the Thorn and The Last Word cards over on Ghost & Echoes - the work done there is truly awesome.
With that, enjoy the cards!!

Episode 81 brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special returning guest co-host MyNameIsByf, back together to chat about a story that has (literally) been over 2 years in the making within the game of Destiny - The Story of Yor. Please note that this week, we're giving you two 'episodes' - this discussion and then a separate 'Audio Grimoire Supplement' that has the full reading of all the Grimoire cards mentioned in this episode. Get ready for a longer chat - we try to keep the conversation somewhat concise, but between Blue's enthusiasm and Justin's joking...we get derailed at some points (huge surprise, we know). Blue made a point of copying his notes into this week's mind map as well, since we weren't able to touch on all the points. Please be sure to check those out and let us know your thoughts!

Episode 80 brings Blue, Green, and Justin back together to dive into the lore surrounding the subclass often associated with vamiprism of the Light, the Voidwalkers. Forgive Blue for his rants on vampirism and the potential connectivenes implied within this description of the Light - he gets excited when these topics are 'allowed' in conversations. As with the other subclass episodes, while there isn't a large amount of Grimoire cards specific to this particular topic, the number of extra points of information are high - and this allows a very comprehensive view into the subclass in question for this episode. Just don't stare into the abyss of the Void for too long...you never know what might be staring back.

Our 13th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-hosts InferMage & DJ Kantrip together to explore the wacky world of the Portal series - which proves to be something of an adventure in and of itself. Gear up for some laughs and fond memories as the team opens one portal after another through this crazy series - ultimately trying to get all the basic plot points together for anyone intrigued by the odd sense of humor that these particular games offer. Just remember what to do when life gives you lemons, everyone - make combustible lemons!

Episode 79 brings Blue, Green, Mel, and Justin back together to dive into the lore surrounding those quick reacting figures of legend, the Gunslingers. Granted, we keep wanting to talk about Cayde and just how awesome Hunters are in general (with a bit of a side bar on the intricate details of the knife design and a bit of a small tangent from Blue about the Dark Tower). Similar to the Sunsinger episode, there aren't a large number of Grimoire cards to pull into the conversation - though that doesn't mean that there isn't a good amount of information buried in other aspects of the lore and from other areas outside of the game.

This special episode brings Blue, Green, Justin, and returning special guest co-host, Damoel together to chat about the massive update to the lore for Destiny that we received this week as a part of the Age of Triumph update. Get ready - it's a bit of a crazy train. From hilarious searches with Cayde to some hefty implications (and outright confirmations), there is a ton of information that the team touches on. Warning though - this is just a brief summary of the new information! Blue will be adding options to the weekly poll starting this weekend for a more in-depth exploration of the new information and a recap of how all the stories stand now that the conclusion for them is upon us.

Episode 78 brings Blue, Green, and Justin together to dive into the lore surrounding the Radiant Sunsinger subclass - and to chat a bit about mythology and Justin's love of immolation (it'll make sense, believe us). While only haveing a few Grimoire cards to really discuss for this particular subclass, the team pulls in a fair amount of information discussed in the chat room this past week - from a discussion on phoenixes to the recommendation of an old Disney educational film by Blue. We hope you enjoy it and be sure to send in your thoughts (Blue and Green speak to this at the end of the episode)!

Episode 77 brings Blue, Green, and Justin together to dive into the lore surrounding the death-obsessed Thanatonauts, something which ultimately resulted in a philosophical discussion that Justin won via comparing everything to the Lion King. So that happened. Which of course broke Blue - but the team did manage to get through the majority of the information available to us currently within game. Granted the chat only covered the basics (there are tons of notes that Blue has on this topic, but Green made sure to keep him in line and he did his best to not bore everyone between the singing of the Circle of Life by Justin).

Episode 76 brings Blue, Justin, and special guest co-host TheLegendBlue (no, Justin did not let the chance to confuse everyone by referring to both as "Blue" pass him by) together to explore the available lore that we have about the last weapon archetype, our Heavy weapons. The team starts off and immediately finds out how deep a rabbit hole can go - with a few puns (is anyone surprised...honestly?) thrown in for good measure to keep the chat off the rails as much as possible. Sit back, prepare yourself a good drink (if you're like Pens and BlueCrew), and enjoy the descent into the madness of lore discussion with the Punderlord of the Destiny Community.

Our 12th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-host demigod257 back together to try and make sense of the convoluted labyrinth of a story that is the Kingdom Heart series. Get ready, it's a doozy (and not just because of the impracticality of a keyblade...which Blue refuses to be okay with). Green and demi try to make the presentation of information as black and white as they can...but some of these concepts are, by their very nature, unlockable without the key of knowledge (yes. I did just do that. Enjoy it.)

Episode 74 brings Blue, Green, and Justin back together to discuss the Exotic Primary weapons that our Guardians currently have access to within the Destiny universe - and to make fun of Justin (who has a really odd habit this show of surprising people with a soundboard he found). The team dives into all 25 weapons this week, trying their best to get all the information that the community discussed (which we're sure we've missed some of it - you guys were amazing!). Be sure to check out the mindmap for this week's information and trivia (provided by Ryno-666 again) as well.

As with the Warlock and Hunter armor epsidoes, there isn't any Grimoire cards to base our discussion off of, but don't worry - between some great stories of mail-theft and a few random stops to look into some of the more obvious rabbit holes for any spinfoil, the team is able to find quite a bit to discuss.

As with the Hunter armor, while there isn't necessarily an overabundance of information to be found within the Grimoire iteself, the triva connections to information outside of the game world of Destiny are astoundingly interesting - and honestly there are plenty of Rabbit Holes to get lost in while walking through even this limited sampling of gear that is available to this one class of Guardians. Hope you enjoy the descent into madness - and we promise, we were pretty nice to the Warlock guest who was kind enough to come out of the library long enough to talk to us.

There are a few twists and turns down the story of how exactly this series, more than any other, affected Blue and Josh's love for video games - but don't worry, we explain the biggest area of confusion.

Surprisingly, while there's not necessarily an overabundance of Grimoire information within Destiny on the armor, there are a ton of trivia connections (and opinions, in the case of Justin) for each of the items discussed. So prepare yourself - this one was a bit of a fun one to record...and allowed the team to delve a bit further into spinfoil territory than even they usually go (especially Blue...when Justin wasn't arguing about the importance of cloaks).

Get ready for a somewhat off topic episode (thanks to the community for the selection of "Yes" yet again - we'll probably see that back in the rotation here later this year) about the joys and challenges of being a parent in the modern world, where gaming has (thankfully, for those of us who are gamers) become more of a everyday staple in our lives.

And Blue uses Google to make sure that they get a word right - much to the surprise of Justin and the chat.

Our 10th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Justin, Mel, and very special returning guest co-host, MyNameIsByf together to explore the Mass Effect series (honestly, it was more an effort on Byf and Mel's part - Blue and Justin had no clue what was going on other than they were being invaded by treefrogs). Byf, as the resident expert on the series, lays out an beautiful explanation of the storyline of the overall series, up to the point of the upcoming new title, Andromeda - and Mel does an amazing job of adding in useful facts as well as keeping Justin and Blue busy so they don't distract the heavy lifters.

Episode 66 brings Blue, Justin, Mel, and returning special guest co-hosts Damoel and Demigod257 together to discuss the available information that we have on the infamous Fallen House of Devils. The team discusses the basic information from the Grimoire, as well as delving into a bit more detail on the implications of what this means about Servitors, the possible ramifications of the knowledge (or lack thereof) that Variks holds in regards to the Devil Splicers antics, and even possible indications of pre-Whirlwind House structure for the Eliksni.
Also, please note there is a bit of a deviation on the structure of the episode this time (pre and post show segments that were requested to be added in) - but don't worry, we'll get back to the usual structure next episode!

Episode 65 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel back together to discuss the vehicles that our Guardians utilize to traverse through the amazing universe of Destiny (predominately the jumpships, which are sources of great trivia tidbits within the lore of the game and actually rather fascinating once you delve into the design and concepts of the overall models). While there aren't a huge number of Grimoire Cards - Blue and Grneyed have managed to compile a vast amount of data into a nicely laid out map (link below) and the majority of the episode is actually discussing the logic that Blue sees within the display of information regarding the jumpships. There is a healthy chat about the lore implications of the Raid ships (as well as a short foray into the evolution of the ships that were avaiable in each successive Raid) and even some good tips/tricks for SRL from our good friend, Taylor-B (linked below as well for everyone).

Episode 64 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel back together to discuss the weapons of the enemy races within the Destiny universe - focusing primarily on the mundane "pew, pew, pew" (as Justin so eloquently puts it) archetypes. We run through the available Grimoire cards for the equipment, looking at the thematic narratives that each race's choice of arms presents, with a few punny interjections. Bear with the minor audio hiccups - Blue's computer was trying to decide if it was going to cooperate throughout the episode, and there were a few small spots where it just wanted to take some small breaks (they're not major points of the conversation, as far as Blue is able to tell).

Episode 63 brings Blue and Justin together to chat about the last of the current playable races in the Destiny gameworld, Humans. We get into a fair amount of chatter about the philosophical nature of the Human condition as presented in the game (hint, it has a lot to do with hope) and how that actually creates an overall better gameworld in which we, as players, experience. Get ready for some laughs as we break apart the information that we have about Humanity within the Destiny universe - and don't blame us if you can't find the cornbread.

Episode 62 brings Blue and Justin together to chat about the new information that we have received within the Rise of Iron DLC for Destiny on our favorite warmind, Rasputin. Fair warning - Blue has a few tangents with regards to the debate on Rasputin's attacking of the Traveler (or not), the mythological tie ins that can be seen with the response towards the Lords of Iron, and even a look back at the Sleeper Simulant. Enjoy your standard dosage of entertainment at the hands of the team as they walk through the new Grimoire (and let you know their thoughts, of course) and answer this week's Dispatches from the Wilds!

Our 9th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Justin, and returning special guest co-host Damoel together to explore the Borderlands series. We discuss the general layout of the series' universe, delve into the information in the individual titles, and even chat a bit about the multiple weapons manufacturers that players in the game can purchase weapons of destruction and mayhem from. Also, we touch a bit on the overall tone of the series - especially the depth of the worldbuilding and the refreshing use of humor as a device to drive home some powerful punches concerning some of the more notable NPC's players encounter throughout the series. Tighten up the big-boy pants, because things are gonna get crazy.

Episode 61 brings Blue, Justin, and returning guest co-host Unisys12 together to chat about the lore that we have currently available for the weapon foundries within the City. Forgive Blue for a bit of a scratchy voice - sickness never plays well with audio, and there was only so much water available. There was a surprising amount of lore buried within the Rare weaponry that many Guardians take for granted, as well as some archive digging for some clarifying words from Bungie themselves on a few of the more developed foundries - so be sure to stay for the whole show (we might have included a bit of a pre-show conversation at the end for everyone, in light of Thanksgiving)!

The chat definitely showed their interest in the assistants and the information that we have recently gained access to via the newer Grimoire cards - so there's a healthy amount of discussion on that front. And a fair amount of laughter (as per usual) alongside some healthy speculation (gotta keep that foil spinning, as requested in one of our Dispatches from the Wilds this week)!

Episode 59 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel back together again to chag about the Vanguard Commander and Titan Vanguard Mentor, Zavala. An Awoken of surprising depth and knowledge of historical events (pre-Golden Age) in the Destiny universe, Zavala is truly living up to the Awoken standard of being an enigma - there is an infinite amount of things about the leader of the Vanguard that one could easily miss if they didn't pay close attention to his involvement and comments about the universe our Guardians exist within. Regardless or not, prepare yourself for an enjoyable exploration of the lore and maybe even an answer to the question of if Zavala actually purred...

Episode 58 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel together again to chat about the Warlock Vanguard Mentor herself, Ikora Rey. Discussing the story from the iconoclastic beginnings (with the infamous Invective by her side) to her more level-headed approach that we see in game, the team really explores the different aspects of what we have available about Ikora in the game currently. We also are formally beginning two new segments in the show, one led by Mel to analyze the presentation of the costume (i.e., "Fabric Theory") and another to give you all a chance to fully weigh in on the topic and also ask us specific questions (i.e., "Dispatches from the Wilds")!

Our 8th installment of the Extra Lore series (we're gonna start just counting these separately to help everyone stay sane at this point), brings Blue, Justin, Mel, and special guest co-host Demigod257 together to chat about the big picture of the Bioshock series...and the headaches that such an undertaking can create. We begin with a summary of the three games, which then segues into a conversation about the game's universe and the basic theories around that model of existence before letting Mel loose to chat with us about her own views on the costumes and designs of the series (especially her love for the "golden age" of Rapture). At the end, the only question that we have left is...Would you kindly?

Episode 57 brings Blue, Mel, and guest co-hosts Kachine and Enver together for a bit of a deviation from the norm, since everyone banded together to support some good old positivity and voted Yes. As much as we enjoyed the absolute mayhem that was the chat this week, the team thought it would be a good chance to talk about the general themes and theories of what it is that we get together each week to discuss. Stories.
The chat bounces around a bit (not a huge surprise, but fair warning nonetheless) and covers the more general theories of the monomyth and how that theory applies not only to most traditional mythologies and stories, but games in particular. Get ready for some discussion on each of the team's favorite application methods of lore in game, as well as an awesome glimpse into the mind of Mel with her views on fabric theory (sounds like something we might need to get an episode on later...)!

This special episode brings you Blue, Justin, and Mel as they celebrate the close of the first year as a podcast team. Not particularly focused on anything other than just chatting about memories (both their own and some sent in by the community) and spending time with the live chat, this episode nonetheless was a blast to record and will be fondly remembered by everyone.

The conversation isn't always a serious one (surprised?) - but you definitely should stick around the end of the episode to hear something new from our friend, Dustin (his Twitter account for those who want to give him some love there for a job well done!).

Our 7th installment of the Extra Lore series (and the 53rd episode, for those keeping track out there) brings Blue, Justin, and special guest co-hosts Grneyedmusiklvr and coedbeast together to chat about the overarching story of the well known Assassin's Creed series. The episode covers the basic layout of the philosophical tension that lies at the heart of the conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order as well as getting a bit into the weeds on the exact source of the Pieces of Eden and First Civilization. Justin does have some insight on the difficulty of a particular mission from his time in the game, but we'll let you decide on if he was successful in capturing the importance of his discovery.

Episode 52 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel together to discuss the information that we have available to us from within the Grimoire (and a previous ARG that Bungie had) concerning the mysterious Alpha Lupi. The question of who (or, as the group discusses, what) Alpha Lupi is one that is somewhat of a popular subject of discussion in particular areas of the Destiny lore community - and for good reason. The enigma is one that, even after the years of playing and exploring in game, still remains an unknown variable within the game.

The time of amazing developments, breathtaking advances in science and technology that led to Humanity rising from the Earth to explore the universe around them. While not perfect, this time period saw impressive leaps forward in everything from robotics to a more advanced understanding of the basic tenants of the types of matter which made up our world.

There are some truly amazing nuggets of lore hidden within the cards dealing with the many different arenas that we currently have access to - and the upcoming capability to freely explore these areas is something that the team, regardless of the console of choice, is exited to experience. There might also be a bit of a ranting theory by Blue near the end concerning the historical ties with the Crucible and Iron Banner to the gladiatorial games of Rome.

While there are a number of Grimoire entries pertaining to individuals within the culture of the Awoken, the information as a whole doesn't give us much to work with - as would be expected for a race who are raised in mystery and secret. These elusive figures dance along the razor's edge between the Light and the Dark - and thrive in the shadows of the unknown...exploring those secrets is not unlike decrypting a stubborn engram. And hopefully, when that decryption has been completed, we'll find ourselves with yet another piece of the puzzle that is Destiny in our hands.

Episode 44 brings Blue and Justin back together to discuss those enigmatic companions of ours in the world of Destiny, the Ghosts. As both of the hosts are fans of a number of the more psychological aspects of science fiction, especially in regards to the development and dealings with artificial intelligence, there is a rather large section of the epsiode dedicated to the conversation on what makes a personality within AI and if the Ghosts that we interact with in game have that or if they are merely a fragment and reflection of a larger collective of intelligence. The nature of the known history of Ghosts (what little we know of in game currently at least) is also discussed in regards to the potential connection to some other significant theories.

The chat was pretty busy this past week breaking down the mechanics and explaining how the aspects made sense within the lore of the game, so the team dives right into that breakdown - while also establishing that the view of Titans as glorified Grumpy Cats was a completely and utterly factual perception (much to the dismay of one of the team). Enjoy the jokes and watch out for the Paean theory at the end - it's a doozy!

Episode 38 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and guest co-hosts Demigod and Unisys together to discuss this previous week's chat discussion over the lore surrounding Guardian weapons within Destiny - something that is a difficult task to do (the chat generally focused more on the nuanced differences between the weapon foundries and some particular weapons - so we followed their discussion as best as possible within the time allowed). There are a number of humorous points throughout the episode (be sure to stay after the closing tunes this time for a special treat) - but the group does manage to hit on the basic differences between the weapons, as well as put forth the offer for anyone to send in feedback to be delved into more depth within Unisys' Destiny Item Lore series (see email link below to send us requests on that!).

Episode 37 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to chat about the information that is available on the mysterious subject of Death and Resurrection within the Destiny universe. With something so central to the game world, there is surprisingly little information on the nature of death and the subsequent resurrection of Guardians (and some other creatures). Join us as we discuss the Sunsinger sub-class, laugh at the frustration that the Cabal express at the Guardian's refusal to lie down and die, and the information that Thanatonauts are searching for beyond the veil of death itself.

Episode 36 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together once again to discuss what information we have at our fingertips concerning the rise of the characters that we know as Guardians within the world of Destiny - those paracausal powerhouses who defend the Last City against the encroaching Darkness. Picking up the tale from the ashes of the Collapse, with the birth of Ghosts and their mission to find new weapons for the Traveler's Light to find a home within, the team discusses the nature of the Light within the Guardians we experience today and compare that refined manipulation to the brutally primal forces of nature that were the Risen. The first few groups of Guardians are examined, as well as a lengthy discussion on the psychological tendencies which set the Guardians apart from the Risen follows, making for an interesting delve into the history of a topic that we can all agree that we want to know more about.

Episode 35 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and the Sultry Tiger himself, My Name is Byf, together to chat about the lore about the enemy 'race' known as the Taken. Diving into the basic differences of the various forms of the creatures that we, as Guardians within Destiny experience, the group quickly jump from a mere physical description of the enemy (like why do the Taken always 'shiver') into the deeper aspects of the psyche of the overall experience of what it means to be a member of the Taken. With a good dosage of humor (blame the week off), the chat walks through the implications of some of the powers that the Taken have, as well as some of the interesting differences that they have when compared to their non-Taken form.

The first of what might become a new collection of episodes brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and very special guest co-host Morla Gorrondona together to chat about what it's like to fulfill the role of the voice of the characters that we, as gamers, come to know so well. The community came together before hand with questions that they all had about the nature of the role of a voice actor, and Morla was gracious enough to spend some time walking through not only her own experiences within the world of voice acting and voice over work as well as some thoughts on the general manner in which people who might be interested could look to get their feet wet.

Episode 34 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and guest co-host BlackWolf619 together to chat about the stories of the Major Battles of the Last City - ranging from the early battle of Six Fronts to a look at the Great Disaster upon the Moon. The group discusses a range of topics, from what they think the response of Guardians would be if a Fallen Walker actually walked (pro tip included from reddit on how to take those down a bit faster and easier as well) to the nature of the overarching sense of desperation that the City faced in the resulting disaster against Crota and the loss of the first Crota fireteam. There's also a bit of a debate on the nature of Toland's endgame and how Osiris is connected to all this.

Our 4th Extra Lore episode brings Blue and Justin together to discuss a very brief introduction to the Dark Souls lore - warning, while neither of us have played these games, we did try to capture as much of the basic information as we could to present to everyone (i.e., we're sorry if we missed a connection that we should have seen in game). However, as Justin proves, even the dark realm of the Dark Souls games is not a haven from the light of Paean...and misreading of the notes when it comes to particular character's names. Enjoy our brief delving into this fascinating world and hope to see you on the other side...Praise the Sun!

Episode 32 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to chat about the lore surrounding the Reef Wars, a violent event in the history of Destiny that set the stage for not only the survival of the Last City through the interruption that the Awoken caused in the amassing hordes of Fallen, but also an entire expansion of the game in the betrayal and continued conflict between the Awoken and Fallen races. There is an immense amount of connections and information to be had from within the Grimoire and items alone - so be sure to check out the linked mind map summarizing those connections as well (link is below in show notes, as promised).

Episode 31 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and special guests Baxter and Forrest together to dig into the lore surrounding one of the great collection points of knowledge from the Golden Age, the Ishtar Collective. As can be expected, the tangents start immediately, but through the laughter, be prepared for some really fun discussions on the impact of the different potential time travel theories, the moral implications of the Vex simulations discussed in the Grimoire, and most importantly...what are the guests' thoughts on Paean as an individual.

Episode 30 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and special guest MesaSean together to delve into the lore of the Warlock class of Guardians within Destiny. We break down the subclasses (and discuss in detail how much more powerful the Stormcaller feels both on a receiving side of the attacks and the giving side) as well as touch on the known Warlocks from within the game with a brief summary on each of them (including status - for those of you keeping score). Note here that many of the items are found within the map of the chat (found below), and due to the large number of those items, there were some that weren't mentioned.

Our 3rd episode in the Extra Lore series brings us an amazing coincidence of discussing an Introduction of Star Wars on May the 4th (known to many as Star Wars day)! Join Blue and guest hosts Damoel and Demigod257 as they discuss the changes in the new Expanded Universe of this iconic series, starting with the new Star Wars universe timeline and ending with a deep dive into the seemingly fathomless subject of the Force and how these aspects are changing within the new presentation of the new canon.

Episode 28 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together again to do battle against Skype and the siren song of much needed slumber to discuss the information that is available on arguably two of the more controversial subjects within Destiny - the Speaker and the Traveler. The conversation ranges from a brief dive into the Dreams of Alpha Lupi grimoire cards to a conversation discussing what exactly is the importance behind the repeated appearance of the number three within Destiny. There's a few heated conversations within the episode, but ultimately, it's decided that, for as much as we know about these two figures...there's still a ton left to guess (which is probably why, in the same vein as Yor and Ward, they are such a debated topic as far as intentions go).

Episode 27 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together (against the wishes of the evil forces of Skype and AT&T - which tried multiple times throughout the night to thwart their progress) to discuss the information that we have available to us on the three individuals who we know as the Vanguard Mentors. From a summary of the individual Mentor's past lives, to a rather heated argument regarding the previous Mentors who held the positions prior to the current generation of Mentors - the group walks through the information covered in the chat room and from the Grimoire. While the debate on who really owns the title of "master class" in Destiny is still certainly in motion - one thing can be for certain...Skype really wanted to mess with things.

This mashup episode brings the Return to Orbit podcast hosts Jay and Mark together with Blue to chat about the recent Destiny update that released this week, from the potential secrets noted in a recent Kotaku article to a rough rundown of the new Grimoire information that was provided to the players. We even got a chance to hear Blue's introduction to gaming and how he stumbled across Destiny, as well as a brief glimpse in to the theory of what it means to be a Guardian within the Destiny universe and the nethervese that he touched on in the Focused Fire Chat's earlier episode this week (Darkness & Light).

Episode 26 brings Blue and Willy together to discuss the slippery irreality of Darkness and Light within the world of Destiny...or at least to start the conversation of this massive undertaking. Touching on basic topics such as what are those Motes of Light we keep acquiring to a more detailed, Aristotelian theory on the nature of the Guardians by Blue - the duo try to touch on the majority of the larger theories thrown around in the chat this past week. And, to be fair - they do a pretty impressive job, considering that the deities of technology and the internet worked pretty hard to prevent them from succeeding. But patience and a fair amount of post-production editing creates success!

Episode 25 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to discuss the Black Garden, a central piece of the vanilla Destiny experience - and something which still, to this day, remains a mystery. What is the Garden? What does the Black Heart intend to use the Sol Progeny for? How does Paean fit into this week's episode? We know the really important questions you want us to answer. We manage to cover the chat's theories,as well as delve into some interesting trivia about the naming of some individuals connected to the Garden, a particular set of seemingly random armor, and even discuss those little "Vex ducks" that are seen on the Pantheon crucible map.
Apologies for the spotty audio - some of the team was traveling this week, so we were relying on the amazing hotel internet for a connection, but Blue did his best to clean up the quality and trim out those pesky bursts of sound for you guys.

Extra Lore 02 brings Blue, Justin, and returning guest Mel (Wind of the Stars) together to discuss a brief introduction to The Elder Scrolls games - something that is a rather large challenge, considering the sheer amount of information that is available on the series. Primarily focusing on the basic makeup of the game world, a very, very, very basic overview of the timeline and a decent conversation about the summary of the five main title games, the group actually manages to get through it. And Justin even has the energy to work in a small Dragon Theory, as well as an interesting challenge for our guest at the end of the episode.
Blue also would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in continuing this conversation to jump into the chat - let us know that you're looking to help continue building out the mind map (linked below) and are also looking for a place to enjoy some great conversations about The Elder Scrolls!

Episode 23 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and returning guest, Uni, together to discuss the nature of dreaded Weapons of Sorrow - from the very basis of what makes up the Weapons to the overarching impact of the ideas of Sword Logic and what the theories behind the creation of weapons such as Bad Juju and Red Death could mean. The nature of the known Weapons gives us the means to build up some pretty interesting theories - though even the Paean champion himself is hard pressed to find enough spinfoil to build a bridge for his lord on this one.

Episode 22 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to discuss the Cabal and the lore around this militaristic species. From delving into the historical tie-ins to Roman and Spartan military structure and culture to the introduction of the "Paean Trombone", the team goes through the majority of the Grimoire that we have available to us currently and breaks it out as much as possible. However, it wouldn't be right if we didn't have an appearance of some good old fashioned spinfoil or our "Paean Theory of the Week" as it has now been coined.

The team dive straight into the Grimoire - pulling in weapons and armor, as well as the elusive Treasure Island book that belongs to one of our favorite Exos, Cayde-6 - and discuss some amazing theories from r/DestinyLore and from the chat.

Episode 19 brings Blue and Willy back to chat about the lore behind two of the more well recognized names within the Destiny story, Dredgen Yor and Jaren Ward. While here there be no dragons, due to the absence of Justin, the pair make up for it in diving into the Grimoire to address the topics of identity and come to realize that not all are ready to go up against the test of time (see if you can figure out where the pair...becomes the one).

The much awaited re-cast of the first episode is here! Episode "1.5" as we've taken to calling this one, brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our favorite Sultry Tiger himself, Byf back together to discuss and explore the extensive lore behind the mysterious warlock, Osiris. With the plethora of new information offered, and the numerous requests for the flagship episode, it's a longer one - but a chat that we hope you'll enjoy. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the discussion of what truly drives a warlock to madness...as well as a healthy dosage of debate on the nature of the parallels that this prominent figure from mythology has with the Destiny universe and the potential hints that such influences might hold for the future of this tale we've all come to enjoy exploring every week.

Episode 18 brings Blue, Justin, & Willy together once more to examine the lore behind the legendary figure of Lord Saladin Forge, who oversees the indomitable Iron Banner in memory of the Lords of Iron. Following the lead of the chat, we delve into the stories of the Lords of Iron and the Iron Wolves, asking question of if these powerful figures the same? Or are they two separate groups of battled hardened warriors of the Light who refused to see eye-to-eye on some unknown topic and pitted their unbreakable oaths against not only each other, but themselves? And you're going to love the weekly Paean revelation - for even in the fiery depths of the Iron Banner, there is a song to be heard.

Episode 17 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our friend from Planet Destiny's own lore team, Mike S. together to explore the available information we have on the Exo Stranger (the same topic that started this whole dive into spinfoil-filled darkness). While there, at first, seems to be a lot left unknown about the Exo Stranger, the chat begins to dig into the meat of what pieces we do have access to...and what that information begins to unveil about this enigmatic character within the Destiny universe. Fair warning, there is also the revelation of Willy's strong anti tiger-people feelings (or even...a potential aversion to the anthropomorphic animal characters in general) and quite a bit of delving into the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey nature of some of the ideas/concepts that the Exo Stranger forces players to address.

Episode 16 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together once more to delve into the lore surrounding the Titan class of Guardians within Destiny. Prepare for a long one, folks - there's a ton of information (along with a detailed account of Willy's true spinfoil tale of Paean's adventures) and even though we started an hour early, the show went to it's normal cutoff time. We break down just about everything that we could think of regarding the basic information for the Titan class (ranging from subclass information all the way to the known Orders, Hosts, and most of the lesser known individual Guardians).

Episode 15 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to chat about the elusive Nine. After apologies for the delay (Blue came down with a pretty serious bug), the team jumps into the details that we have access to from the Grimoire. Given the limited amount of information that we have, we actually manged to get through the majority of the discussion points pretty quickly - which surprised everyone...and allowed Justin to regale us once again with a more focused presentation of his Dragon theory. This of course meant that each of the team had to respond in kind - so get ready for some fun spinfoil in the last half of the episode!

Episode 14 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together to chat about the lore surrounding the enigmatic Warminds. As is customary, the laughter and spinfoil make a return in force - this time accompanied by a few distractions from Justin's slideshow of Skype profile pictures for the stream. Come walk through the Cosmodrome with us as we discuss the history of Rasputin, enjoy the red sand of Charlemagne's home world of Mars, and dodge the Vex on Venus with the unnamed warmind within the Ishtar Collective. We even have a theory about our favorite singer (or song, depending on which team you're on)!

Episode 13 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our friend from across the pond, My Name is Byf together to chat about the Ahamkara & the Worms. In the same vein as last chat, spinfoil begins to accumulate quickly from the start - with so much information and so little confirmation, there is a fair amount of enjoyable conversation about not only the nature of the two entities, but their unclear connection to one another. Blue does manage to do better this time around with those pesky words - though don't be surprised to hear a few favorite theories about a particular singer (or is it a song?) and a luminous warlock. And wait till the end to hear an awesome outro by Byf for the team! As usual, please let us know any feedback you have by or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 (we need a better name for that...) series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat.

Episode 12 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and a special guest and friend, BelleBunny together to chat about the Hunter class of Guardians from within the Destiny universe. Shenangians and spinfoil are unavoidable in this round - so get ready for a lot of enjoyable debates about the nature of Light, a quick glimpse into the nature of the infamous Dredgen Yor and Jaren Ward debate, and a lot of laughter about Blue's sleep deprived attempts to pronounce certain words. As usual - please let us know any feedback you have by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter (@FocusedFireChat). Thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 11 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our resident Halo guru, PensHALO together to discuss the basic underlying timeline of the HALO universe in our first foray outside of Destiny. We manage to cover an impressive amount of time within the game world, starting with the Precursors and ending at the events which occur at the end of Halo 2. Prepare for a bit longer chat than normal though - it's an enormous amount of information to cover, though Pens makes it look easy. As usual - please let us know any feedback you have by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter (@FocusedFireChat). Thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 10 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and guest Gl1tch W1tch together to discuss the three playable races of the Destiny universe: Humans, Exos, and Awoken. While noting that many of the more intricate details and theories will need to be revisited in the future, we delve as much as we can into the stories and theories that the Grimoire cards present to us. Excuse a slight jarring as we hit a bit of internet turbulence near the end of the chat, but we pressed on and managed to get the majority of the information and discussions which occurred in the chat last week recorded. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 09 brings Blue, Justin, & Willy together again to chat about the infamous Vault of Glass. The nature of the Vex, of course, comes into play very quickly - and spinfoil theories strike soon after a brief examination of the different known stages of the Vault are discussed. We also run through the famous members of the original fireteam who attempted to delve into the depths of this legendary location, and end with the agreement that there are some paradoxes that even we might not have time to explain. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!
Episode 08 brings Blue, Justin, Willy, and our first ever guest, Damoel together to discuss the nature of one of the races which do battle with us, the Eliksni (or, as most of us know them, the Fallen). After a brief run through the known timeline of the species, we get into the meat of the episode, the theories of what will come in regards to the Eliksni (as well as a rather long discussion on the nature of ether and glimmer). As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 7 brings Blue, Justin, and a reinvigorated Willy together with an episode long application of What do we Think to the whole of the Books of Sorrow. Spinfoil theories take off immediately (as expected) and, while fielding questions from the chat, we finish up our recap of the Focused Fire Chat that has spanned three weeks. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!
Episode 6 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to tackle the remainder of the Calcified Fragments which make up the Books of Sorrow - this episode is dedicated to the reading of the text (effectively, we make this episode the What do we Know segment). Spinfoil theories are kept to a minimum...for the time being - though the lack of such thoughts does knock one of our trio out half way through. We won't point fingers...but we promise that the attack of static did cease soon after. As usual - please let us know any feedback by email (FocusedFireChat@gmail.com) or reach out to us on Twitter at @FocusedFireChat you have and thanks for giving our ramblings a listen!
In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, & Steamnwillybman begin to descend into the depths of the Books of Sorrow. Tackling the first 15 cards, the exploration is more fact than spinfoil (though there are some hats donned from time to time as revelations are made throughout the readings) and there is a significant amount of information relayed out to the listeners. Also, congratulations should be sent out to the winner of the LootCrate giveaway, Josh, as well as another thank you for all of you who listen and send us such valuable feedback.

In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, and Steamnwillybman descend into the mad mind of Toland, the warlock who was driven insane by his study of the Hive and the Darkness. It's a twisted path that this warlock has taken - information is extremely detailed and theories definitely fly, as we gather round and discuss sword-logic and the impact that such a theory has upon the cosmos.

In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, and Steamnwillybman explore the myth of the legendary Exo Defender Titan, Saint-14. Walk through the known history of the famous Guardian, and get ready for some full-spinfoil jacket thoughts in regards to the relationship that the Defender had with Osiris and it's possible conclusion from JustInsane0516 and BlueCrew86.

In this episode, BlueCrew86, JustInsane0516, and Steamnwillybman explore the political structure of the City and the Tower within which we as Guardians reside. The known Factions are discussed, the political nature of the citizens reviewed, and spinfoil jackets are donned with regards to the true nature of the Speaker and his (?) machinations.
