Genuinely found myself in bed last night lying there thinking "oh my god! it's only 7 days away, this day next week, only 6 more sleeps"

Serious hype creeping in now

Have you all your brownie points built up? :P

Kind of. I did some vacuuming. I'm gonna try think of small stuff to surprise her with. I reckon I can only coast on my charm for 2 weeks, then I'll need a serious pool of goodwill to draw from.

Ok I will tell you now, a guaranteed free night on the computer will come from you drawing her a bath and then giving her a good ould massage, followed by a cup of tea (crush about 10 sleepers in there) and your good for about 24 hours :P

Generic Dreadhead · 14-09-2016 03:04PM

Ha. I wish my house had a bath though

You'd be surprised how you'd miss the odd bath.

I can see conversations going like this.
Her: "They put me on the late shift Friday, Saturday, Sunday next week"
Me: "Oh No"

You should create an agony aunt type thread Jonny, "Ask a flaming Titan...".

You could always give her a bath in the kitchen sink. Bring her back to when she was a kid.

Instead of "Ask Anne" etc we could call it "Ask Tina Titan" :pac:

noooooo........ the answer is always either "7", "Bananas", "Madagascar" or "HAAMMMEEERRRRRRSSSSSSSSSS"

It would be like going to the coca cola factory on a school tour, "Give that man a flaming hammer" :P

That is a seriously good trailer.

I'm now officially putting Overwatch aside and beginning my RoI prep. Seriously rusty at this stage. Still need to get the ol' LL up a bit before I go raiding too.

AbusesToilets · 14-09-2016 09:10PM

I would have to be moving house this week, to a place with no internet

Generic Dreadhead · 14-09-2016 09:50PM

Look into Mobile Dongles no?

I played on a Three Pay as you Go contract dongle for weeks

Mitch Connor · 15-09-2016 09:12AM

119 hours to go...... HHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I can't wait - like a kid waiting for christmas. I just know I'm going to end up in the gym at like 7am on Tuesday because I won't be able to sleep and will need to burn some time!

Cormac, you take the day off for the now traditional day 1 story run?

gimli2112 · 15-09-2016 09:15AM

Hopefully team lizardmfkrs or whatever they're called don't take the servers down
Remember when they ruined Christmas?

This thread from reddit gave me a good laugh this morning,

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/52v3j3/the_one_thing_great_about_destiny_is_how_it_hypes/

"How can it be possible that 10 Iron lords that are an example to what power and bravery meant, Were not able to destroy a Virus. but somehow in some possible way 6 Guardians that teabags, Dance and grind hard for exotic and fight the struggles to maintain a stable internet connection can somehow manage to beat the unbeatable."

Plenty of teabagging to be had in raiding

. The Goonz should reply to this thread, "pops a bubble just at the end of the oryx fight so no-one can shoot him for the last 1% of his health"

Real answer is, I guess, based around Light. We have light, and ghosts, they didn't. We can't actually die - we just get bored and try again another night....

I remember reading a grimoire card about the Cabal, where guardians are mentioned for laying waste to everything - then dancing and performing stunts on Sparrows.

From reading that thread - how ecking awesome would it be if the raid boss at the end of the RoI raid was actually the fallen Iron Lords, corrupted by Siva; so all our Iron Banner crucible stuff has been actual training, to taken on other guardians - cause Lord Saladdin knew what was going to come back.

Wouldn't surprise me is this was the case. At least with some of the sub-bosses at least.

I've dreamt of going into a raid as colour co-ordinated power rangers, since the game first game out. It would be awesome.

You're over estimating how middle-of the road the AI in Destiny is. The Iron Lords would be running at you with a shotgun from 100 metres away shooting
