Focused Fire Chat, A Destiny Lore Podcast

Our 14th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and returning special guest co-host Damoel together to chat about the immense world of the Forgotten Realms (and the general Dungeons & Dragons series). 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.    As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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!    As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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!   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 82 brings Blue, Justin, and returning special guest co-host Damoel back together to chat about the new breadcrumbs of information that we received in the Lore concerning the Awoken and Fallen - and the implications of what those tidbits of information can mean for the future of the Destiny universe. 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 usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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!!   Segment 1 01:15 - Thorn 02:00 - The Shadows of Yor 05:03 - Ghost Fragment: Thorn Segment 2 07:20 - Rezyl Azzir (Before These Walls) 11:16 - Rezyl Azzir (War Without End) 18:50 - Rezyl Azzir (Legends & Mysteries) 25:36 - Rezyl Azzir (The Triumphant Fall) Segment 3 32:39 - Ghost Fragment: Thorn 2 39:23 - Ghost Fragment: Thorn 3 47:50 - Ghost Fragm

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!    As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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.    As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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!   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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.    As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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.    As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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)!   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Just a quick note from BlueCrew86 to everyone. 

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).   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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.   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 75 brings Blue, Green, Mel, and returning special guest co-host PurpleChimera to explore the available lore that we have about the current Special weapons with the Exotic classification. The team dives into the 15 weapon cards - with a few deviations from Blue (surprise!) to break up the highly entertaining chatter. Be sure to check out this week's mindmp for information and trivia (again, huge thank you to RYNO-666 for helping compile everything on that for these items)!   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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.) As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

The fourth installment of our Behind the Scenes series gave us an opportunity to sit down with Guardian Outpost (Dave) and KMagic101 (Kevin) to chat about the questions that our Discord chat had about streaming - as well as just getting a chance to hear how they both approach the challenges that this aspect of content creation presents. We truly enjoyed the opportunity and we're pretty sure that y'all will as well - so be sure to turn up the volume and get ready for some good insight into the streaming aspect of our great community!   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

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 usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 73 brings Blue, Green, Justin, and returning special guest co-host demigod257 together to discuss the various inspirations for the Traveler that can be seem from various historic mythologies throughout the world. Prepare yourself for an enjoyable jaunt through the rabbit holes of tangent-filled jokes and even a special sneaking snek ending from Justin on this episode!   As usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!

Episode 72 brings Blue, Green, and Justin back together to explore the available information that we currently have on the exotic armor available to the Titan class of Guardians. 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 usual, thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!
