Ghost Stories, A Destiny Podcast

Episode 58: YOU DIED ADULT LANGUAGE HIDE YOUR KIDS WARNING This is Episode 58 and on this show we’re saying it's Episode 59. What does it mean?! This wasn't the Vault episode I was expecting! In any case, we're finally back behind the mics to take a stab at making a show without the kind of rigid structure you're probably accustomed to from us. We'll talk about why during the show, along with a whole load of other things including where we've been, what else we've been doing, and desperately racking our old man brains trying to figure out what happened between the last episode and this one. We know we forgot stuff. This is essentially DGS VARIETY HOUR PART 2, so set your expectations accordingly. Also, Xray swears a lot. It's been a while.

Episode 57: Saltcast Redux This is Episode 57 and on this show we’re… having a “do over”. We recorded an episode last week (a fortnight ago), a casual three and half hour conversation about the state of Destiny 2. While extremely cathartic, we decided that horse has been pretty much beat to death, and then rezzed by it’s Ghost, and then beat to death again. We’re all well aware of the issues D2 is having and while we’re going to mention them on this show too, the entire show won’t be about them.

Big thanks to SherbetPop for taking the lead and pulling our noses out of the proverbial books to get back behind the mics. Join us as we talk about our early experiences and observations playing Destiny 2. There is a ton of lore and discussions to be had...so don't worry, we will get there. "The lore is lovely, dark and deep, but we have promises to keep, and miles to go before we speak."

Episode 55B: Mo Beta Blues Clues - Part 2...(you're half way there) Welcome back, Guardians! Two shows in two weeks? What is this, 2015? This is the second part of our look at the Destiny 2 Beta and, per usual, what we thought would be a quick show turned into a 3.5 hour epic. We’re taking a look at armor and weapons, talking about some of the call back, references, and story hints contained within. Join us as dropslash complains about flavor text… A LOT, SherbetPop recites classic literature, and Xray tries to keep this fireteam of Hunters on the rails. Maybe we should hire a Titan… NAH! Also, spiders. Enjoy!

Episode 54: Swing Beta Beta - Part 1 Welcome back, Guardians! It’s only been forty five thousand years since the last show, so we decided to make another one! This episode is Part 1 of our look at the Destiny 2 Beta and we’re talking about mostly about lore and story hooks we noticed during our time playing it. We also chat about the Farm and all the potential secrets hidden there. The next episode will be dedicated to the armor and weapons of the beta, which hold some pretty interesting details about what may be in our future. Until then, enjoy drop mentioning how much the flavor text bothers him ad nauseum, Sherbs experience with amazing Australian high speed internet, and Xray just being better than everyone else… like always.

Episode 50: It's Not Lupus Part 3! Welcome back, Guardians! On this episode... uh, well, drop and Cosmo go off the deep end exploring organic nature of the Vex and their architecture as well as the connections between Alpha Lupi and the Vault of Glass. This episode is really designed to be some "food for thought" as we start in on the Guardians experience with the Vault, focusing on the Templar and the Oracles. This is a dense episode, so be on the lookout for some follow up from the team as well as a very special next show when we discuss some exciting unnanounced content as a refreshing break between Vault shows.

Episode 49: It Means "Tomb". Welcome Guardians! This is Part 2 of our look into the Vault of Glass and this show is going to focus heavily on the the story of Kabr, Praedyth, and Pahanin; the most famous Guardians to enter the Vault. We'll be discussing some of the mysteries surrounding their experience in the Vault, what happened to each of them as a result, and how their legacy affects our Guardian's journey through it. Cosmololgy is back with us for the ride, so expect some delicious quantum mechanics and metaphysics discussions along with the usual DGS shenanigans. We know we've been running a little late with episodes, but the pace will be picking up soon. Our apologies for the wait! This episode is the first peak of this rollercoaster of a topic. It's all downhill from here, so get ready for a wild ride!

Episode 48: CosmoVaultlolgy Welcome Guardians! After a bit of a hiatus, we're back! At the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 we started down a road to lay the groundwork for future episodes. This is the last one of those episodes as we set the stage for an our epic, in-depth, series exploring the Vault of Glass. This episode is going to introduce some of the Vault's mysteries as well as get some necessary groundwork about the Vex out of the way. This is the last lore-light episode before we dive hardcore into every aspect of the Vault of Glass This is also a much more light-hearted episode since we've been away for a while. We get off track a lot discussing what we've been up to the last month or so (spoilers: Horizon Zero Dawn) and talking with this episode's special guest, Cosmololgy, aka Astrophysics Jesus. It's a silly ride this week, but one we had to get out of the way before we confront the mysteries of the Vault of Glass. Episode References: Cosmo's Writing: ∙ We found the traveler's size!: https:

Episode 46: The Fruit of the Garden - Part 2 Welcome Guardians! We're back for the conclusion of our look into the "Fruit of the Garden" Missions, which serve as a jumping off point for a bunch of future episodes on some pretty big topics. As discussed previously, these missions introduce us to the Vex, the Cabal, Venus, Mars, Clovis Bray, the Black Garden, and a whole lot more. On this show we're picking up right where we left off and following the Guardian to Mars for the first time and following all the way through to the conclusion of the main Destiny story.

Merry Vexmas: A Visit From St. Everis Merry Vexmas and Happy Dawning everyone! Twas the night before Vexmas, when all through the ship, Not a radar was blinking, not even a blip; The vault space was cleared in the Tower with care, In hopes that St. Everis soon would be there; The Risen were nestled, all snug in their beds, While Visions of Confluence flowed through their heads; And I in my Battlecage, Greaves, Grips, and Wrath, Had resigned my brain to a warm, briny bath; When out in the Ruin there arose such a clatter, I summoned my Sparrow to see what was the matter. Away to the Spire I sped like a flash, Praetorian Foil... Two goblins... now ash. The distance of Earth in the dark Venus sky, Gave rise to memories of days long gone by. When, what through my Praedyth’s Revenge should I see, But a red Sparrow there... with a Ghost in its lead, The driver drove on, not a thing was amiss, I knew in a moment it was St. Everis. More rapid than rushing Fanatics he came, He looked at me then, he called me by name; “

Episode 45: The Fruit of the Garden Welcome Guardians! We're back to our reguleraly scheduled programming! This episode is going to be all about a series of Quests and Missions that open the doors to a lot of the topics we're going to cover in 2017. Lots of those shows will be diving deep into subjects that all get their start right here with this Story Mission. So join us as we pick up a thread we left dangling in our Dark Below / Crota's End episodes and diverge into the other main story in Vanilla Destiny, the search for the Black Garden. We're talking the Deus Exo Stranger Machina, Venus, Vex subtypes, our idiot Ghost, our idiot Cryptarch, Prince Uldren's glass cage of emotion, vague Dr. Strange spoilers, some cool stuff that got left out, and a whole lot more.

Episode 44: These aren't ideas, they're nonsense. Welcome back, Guardians. Ok, first things first... THIS IS NOT A LORE EPISODE. It's been a month since our last show and as we get back into the swing of things, we felt it was worth spending some time back on the mic together and talk about where we've been, what we've been up to, and the future of Ghost Stories. This is a long, rambly episode, so don't exepct a lot of hardcore Destiny talk. If you want a quick TL:DL, you'll find a link below to our site with a post outlining the important parts of this episode. If you're still reading, well... this episode is a doozy. A LOT has happened in the past month and we're all a bit loopy. No topic is off-limits as we rant and jam on a million different things. This is what a really freeform DGS sounds like. XD We will be back with lore next episode, but for now, we just wanted to get back on the mic and wax silliness.

1 year old?…We cannot believe it!!!  This episode was planned and recorded in a matter of a few hours.  XRAY and Gabble chat with some of our friends from SLACK, read some reviews and just enjoying what we have been able to give to you.  Thanks for being a part of what we do….here’s to many more years to come!

Episode 39: Rise of Hype! Incoming Transmission, Guardians! With Rise of Iron less than 24 hours away, this episode is all about recappping what we know so far, posing important questions for what we don't, and taking a look at some of the implications for both. We talk a bit about the #TRANSMISSION event, the major Rise of Iron characters, what the SIVA threat may mean for Humanity, the lore behind critical events that have already happened, and a whole lot more. It's an episode full of announcements, questions, and things to look out for while we play. We are super excited to dig into Rise of Iron and we hope you are to!

Episode 38.5: Endotics We did it! It was a monumental undertaking, (we'll talk stats next episode) but we made it to the end of Exotics! This will be the last Exotic focused episode for a good long while, as we have now covered every Exotic weapon and armor in the game... and even some that aren't. This episode is picking right up where the last one left off, covering Titan Helmets and Boots. We discuss the super recent changes to the Mk.44 Stand Asides, the power of Peregrine Greaves, the missing Dunemarchers, the deep lore of Helm of Saint-14, and a whole lot more.

Episode 38: Traveling to Exotic places, meeting new and exciting aliens, and then murdering them. Well, we’ve come this far. It’s time to end this insanely long run of our look at Exotics with the first of two episodes devoted to Titan Exotics. To help us out with this, we recruited two hardcore Titan mains, dropslash’s clanmates, Nightfork and Crono42. We’re talking Body Armor, Gloves, and Marks this episode so get ready for an Armamentarium love-fest, airborne police acrobatic shenanigans, witch hunting, sweet holograms, MOAR HEAVY AMMO, butts, shaders, and a ton of other hilarious topics. Laugh along with us as Xray trolls us from the notes, we discuss a bit of our gaming origins, Guardian names, and learn how Sherb makes a bit of Glimmer on the side. It’s Titan Exotics, Part 1! Enjoy yourself, Guardians!

Another double episode week! We're cranking hard to get every Exotic covered before Rise of Iron, so this week we're bringing another lore master (and the show's #1 fan) onboard to help us finish up Hunter Exotics and to give us a decidedly non-Hunter viewpoint on things. We're so happy to welcome Capt. Kex of the L.ORG Chart project to the show! His keen Warlock mind keeps us on track this episode as we talk about more Dark Souls references, spider biology, hilarious 90's movies, amazing 40's movies, poop bugs, Ahamkara jewelry, commiserate over the sad state of Gunslinger "adjustments", and a bunch of other ridiculous things that frame the history, lore, and secrets of some of our favorite Hunter Exotics. This is a long one, enjoy!

Suffice to say, on this tangent filled episode we're talking Hunter Exotic Body Armor, Boots, and Cloaks... oh man, THE CLOAKS. Damn, we're good looking. Ok ok, lets keep this point! (the point of our sweet knives). Join us as we dig up obscure references to raspberries, do some radiant Italian (blade) dancing, try to figure out who Eao was, take a look into Sherb's cloak closet, talk about all the things Radiant Dance Machine's can't do, and listen as drop descends into madness chasing his white whale, Alpha Lupi.

Episode 36: Exotic Sandals Vacation MOAR EXOTICS! We’re really jamming to get them all in before Rise of Iron, so we’re moving on to Armor. In what was originally supposed to be a single episode focusing on Warlock Exotics, we somehow managed to drag it out to a 2-parter. We were missing Gabble (our resident Warlock) for this episode, so we hope you like dropslash’s (part time Warlock) voice because you’re going to hear him say “uh” 15,000 times. We chat about creatively naming 3 different Exotics “Nemesis Light”, “Light Beyond”, and “Light Beyond Nemesis” (seriously), lava stones, [...]
