Oh he is in the hanger.
I've never had an issue with where he is though.
I load into the tower. Look around and see where I see names gathered. Go in that direction.

I think Doctrine is next week, according to that reddit post. Unless it's confirmed it's the doc today

Sorry I won't have a mic ocean
I'm using NTTE quite a lot lately. Usually once a week I use it trough the entire raid. And I always switch to it in the shade at Oryx.
It's excellent for War Priest and Golgorth because you never have to move and it's so easy to get critical hits in those fights.
It jumps a bit in daughters (centurions shooting at us constantly) but I still rarely have to reload while doing dps on the daughter themselves.
I use Touch of Malice when I'm on ogre duty with my Titan and then switch to NTTE while standing in the arua waiting to get pulled into the shade.
It's a classic run, but I'd put Tsavo Highway --> The Covenant over it, both in mission design and gameplay. They couldn't exist without building on Halo 1, though.

DrDrizzay101, same as PSN. Also the same Steam ID since I've been spending most of my time there recently. Anyone around here should definitely feel free to add me either place.

Anyone want to run some Doubles? 
I put on a mask and racing gear and got my first ghost to drop within two games. LL 205 dis/str crimson ghost.
Teammate played at 308 LL and got a 320 int/dis crimson ghost: https://www.bungie.net/en/Legend/Gear/1/4611686018429801742/2305843009249725584. He said he already two of each of the ghosts drop prior to our playing together...

Ale I just tried a combo of it and Nechrochasm on Pantheon.
I killed two or three trying to rush me. REKT
2.3 KD too woot (Double Tripmines are GOLD)
Also a MAJOR shoutout to both Twilight and Kor.
Throwing grenades like the tripmine against the wall behind people is the most fun ever

Very doubtful, unless it becomes popular on my friend's list. I played 2-3 hours of the beta then deleted it and canceled my pre-order. I think they're doing some interesting stuff but I can't get past the sluggish movement and watery gunplay. Game feel is the #1 thing for me, always has been. Hence my love for Destiny. Speaking of game feel, gonna go play some more Spelunky....
What else are you gonna do with a virtual currency for a game you don't play anymore? I mean they are pretty useless but adding something new to the collection is worth some SCs imo.

My favorite of all time. Played until I got speedlunky and beat Yama.
Destiny wise: might drop my LL and try to farm again. Got nothing last night.
In terms of game feel it's certainly no Destiny, but really, not much else is. I loathe the current state of the game but even if I join in a random PVP game I can still have fun because the core gameplay is pretty phenomenal.
I feel like The Division can satisfy me through its RPG systems though, like the skills, talents, loot etc. Destiny needs to do better in those areas.
I have seen nothing even somewhat interesting or creative in terms of skills and talents (nor guns). I'd be surprised if any of that matches Destiny.
In terms of loot, that seems more up in the air. I liked some of what I saw in the Beta in terms of drops and progression. I'm just not sure how much fun getting a slightly better military assault rifle is going to be.
We'll see I guess.
You poor child of Summer.

The Witness is making my head hurt. Like wtf are tetris pieces and 2 triangles mean?!
Anyways, I might want to do some Trials in a little bit. Or go play XCOM if nobody is around to Trials.

Spelunky is fucking brilliant, a top 3 all time game for me. I can't even begin to explain its brilliance to people unless they've put a bunch of hours into it. Spelunky and Dark Souls 2 speed runs were the only communities I really got involved with before Destiny, used to watch all the major streamers, mod in a few channels etc. Saw it live when Pibonacci got the first sub-2 any% run, crazy stuff.
I was never good relative to those guys, but when I "retired" from playing I had the 2nd highest legit score on PSN (~$2.3 million, which I'm sure has been beaten many times by now). The actual world records on PC even back then were $3 mil+ thanks to the Mothership/Robot unlock exploit. I wasn't as good at speed runs but did manage a sub-4 time by pure dumb luck. Hnnnggg that game man, that game... crazy addictive.

Too much Flood in that run for my taste.
But I do really enjoy Sierra 117 & Crow's Nest. The Ark -> The Covenant run is great too.
But Tsavo Highway is the best mission in Halo 3. No wait. The Ark. No wait. Covenant. Argh.
And then ODST had so many great missions. And Reach had some greats too (DMR issues aside).
This is like saying I've only had 2 slices of cheese, and they were both Kraft Singles.
In all honesty, Halo 4 was a decent game, but it was a bad Halo game. Prioritizing looks over dynamic sandbox. And you people gripe about grimoire outside of the game. The main story in Halo 4 was only understandable by terminals that were not in the game. Not the lore like in Destiny, but the main story. Firefight was replaced by a braindead mode called Spartan Ops that had the worst writing in any professional video game I've encountered. Theater was stripped out. PvP moved from an arena setup to Call of Duty with a Halo skin. It was a badbadbad Halo game. Halo 4 is why I own a PS4 instead of an Xbox.

The division gameplay excels at...how to say it...planning. Playing in a team and hunting down rouges was the highlight of the game for me. Sneaking up on rouges. Each of your teammates using their skills in succession to achieve the maximum efficiency. It was different. Took some getting use to. But once it clicks oh it clicks then.
I view destiny and division as two segregate entities. That while they have some similarities. In the end they are very different.

Destiny gunplay tho has ruined other fps for me.
I still need to get this gun. I'm on the VoG part and nobody runs that raid anymore ;_;
The tetris puzzles are probably my favourite puzzles in the game that don't depend on the enivornment. Drawing them on a piece of paper always helped me

Hawkian runs that raid every so often! Keep an eye out for when they post each week about newbie raids.
Okay, checking to see if I can spark some interest.

If the run goes smooth we can play all the way to the Lighthouse.

I'm at 5 wins and a loss but mercy negated that on a card if anyone wants to run
Fair point. It's just Destiny FOMO. I'm paranoid that I'm going to buy the PGreaves, get down to 41 SC, then the April patch has something deliberate or accidental that lets me get Fatebringer up to 320 if only you have 42 strange coins in hand or something equally preposterous.
But I don't *have* them, LT. =) It's less about them being useless than it is not having my pokedex full, especially when the effort involved in getting them is zilch.

Sigh, a losing streak right now and I'm making stupid mistakes by not popping my super early.

Nah actually I like your playstyle I feel like I am doing more support--which is best for me. I just mess up with never popping my super (every loss we had so far I did not pop my super correctly)

No worries mate, can help you with the ToM mission later as well.
Always happy to do a VoG run, though I might be sleeping during that time.
Heh, been doing that for a couple of weeks now. Always boggles the mind that so many players have no clue about so much in the game.
