The Grind is Real
So I right now I am level 22 in Destiny. Its a pretty good level, Heroic Strikes are a little easier and I get opportunities to get some rare, legendary, and exotic engrams. So, how am I level 22, when the cap is 20? Well first off when you hit level 20, you can start gathering armor that has an attribute called Light. This attribute can actually raise your level. So, with that, the better gear you have the higher level you will be.
So instead of restricting raids and stuff on "Gear level", they can restrict you based on your level. Case in point, the raid Vault of Mirrors is locked until you reach level 26! So, I am currently grinding for some better gear. The Cryptarch is not helping either, I got a Legendary yesterday!....for a different class. Which is mildly frustrating to say the least.
I found a couple good spots to farm some engrams but none have really been giving my anything of any use. With that, I have been playing in the Crucible and I have been getting way better gear than decrypting engrams. So that is what I have been doing lately.
So far, Week 1 has been a success and I am having a total blast with this game!

Destiny - Week 1
Here I started off of late, on Monday, though I wish my Girlfriend Kim could have witnessed it all. Now, I am standing on Level 18 just two days in, with the game complete. But, the interesting thing that I have found out is that the game doesn't start until you complete the short and incomplete story. For one, don't take short and incomplete as me hating on it, I liked it. But also, it is short and incomplete for a reason, it is an MMO and the story is being developed over a period of time.
To be honest, I am really enjoying the game and can't wait to show it off to Kim. Right now I am playing a Warlock and working my way to Level 20 to really unlock the whole game. I feel like the beginning of the game, 1-20, plays as a tutorial to the bigger picture of Destiny and I am perfectly fine with that.
Even the Crucible has been a ton of fun. I was fairly competitive in Modern Warfare 2, and I have not found a game that made me want to compete again. Until now, Destiny makes me want to compete and gain my skills higher. So, that is exactly what I am going to do. Now the hard part is finding a group of people to play with that are reliable and fun to play with.
Anyways, I have more stuff to kill and loot to gain!

Battlefield Hardline (BETA RIGHT NOW)
I don't know how I feel about this game. I feel like there is way too much destruction to for a heist. From the trailer the heist was for 20k$... seems like WAY too much trouble to go through for that much money. It just doesn't seem realistic what so ever, especially with the crane dropping and all that jazz.
But I'll be honest, the game does look awesome. And you know what, you can sign up RIGHT NOW for the BETA! All you need to do is sign-up for the hardline beta from www.battlefield.com Also if you have Battlefield 4, only on the PS4, you can go ahead and download the PS4 from the menu screen after highlighting the Battlefield 4 game area!
NOTE THE BETA IS FOR PC AND PS4 ONLY!

Loadout PS4
So big news today, a huge PC game Loadout, has been announced as a console exclusive for the Playstation 4. Why is this big news? Because, this game is wickedly fun and competitive. Think, Team Fortress 2, with 10x more gore and weapon customization.
In fact, the big draw to the game is the "Billions of combinations" you can make for your weapon. I have played it on the PC, and I have spent a good 2 hours on just creating my weapons. Creating laser beams, rocket launchers, and assault rifles...the choice is yours.
Also, according to the developers, it is not going to be a straight port either. They are going to rework the balance of the game to make it feel at home on the Dualshock 4. This is great news, shows that they are going to put some time and effort into bringing their game to the Playstation 4.
Anways, I am quite excited for this pre-E3 announcement. My personal views on it are that I can't wait for it to come out so I can wreck some people with the Hammer, which is their form of capture the flag. I am skeptical on playing the game with the controller because I tried on the PC and I felt severely hindered. But, if they re-balance the game that will be perfect.
The trailer is just below.

Google buys Twitch: Thoughts
So, what is the big news this week? Well, it might just be that Google (YouTube) is trying to purchase Twitch.tv for $1 Billion. Now, because of this there are numerous people in a panic on how Google is going to ruin Twitch. How Google is going to force people to use Google+ on Twitch. Here are my opinions on the matter.
First off, Google will most definitely not force users to use Google+ on Twitch. I say this as they have already begun abandoning the total integration of Google+. It has been a commercial failure, especially with the integration of YouTube and G+. For goodness sake, the father of G+ actually left Google, probably to run away from the scrutiny he was receiving internally about the failures. So, I do not see this integration of G+ and Twitch happening.
What I do see happening is Google will allow Twitch to govern and run itself independently, but with the addition of the financial support of Google. This will only allow Twitch to grow as a service and hopefully be more reliable. That would definitely be the best case scenario for all of this.
I do think that people freaking out about it is uncalled for. Monetization and copyright will probably end up acting the same way that it is currently. At least, that is what I am hoping for. I mean what do I know? I barely have any twitch followers as much as I want to have more, I think it is hard to get into now that it is over saturated.

Bound By Flame: Initial Impressions
At $49, I was not expecting a AAA title, but I am looking for an entertaining title. And in my first hours with the game that is exactly what I have gotten. To be frank, the game is actually quite hard. I have died countless times, I don't know if it is because the game is inherently hard or because I am not used to the combat system.
Speaking of the combat system, I have not gotten used to it completely. I am still looking for a way to dodge while using the a sword... But alas, there is none and you are forced to block or parry. For this reason, I have been using the daggers a lot more than the sword. To explain, you have 2 stances; warrior and ranger. With the warrior stance you use a sword and to mitigate the damage you block or you can time it perfectly and parry an attack and counter it. While in ranger stance you use your dual daggers and to mitigate the damage you dodge backwards; timing it perfectly will let you riposte and counter the attack. You also have a ranged weapon (my crossbow for now) as well as magic spells. The magic spell you gain from the demon inside of you.
That is the, let's say, the selling point of the game. You are a mercenary, Vulcan, who in certain circumstances has been 'possessed' by a flame demon. Throughout the game, you are given choices in which you can embrace the demon or not. When you embrace the demon, Ala Fable, your character transforms; to a point where he actually can't wear helmets anymore because of the horns. This concept is what really intrigued me about Bound By Flame. Not to spoil anything, I spent a good 5 minutes thinking what to do when the first decision decided to present itself to me.
Now, I know gamers think this is all important (which it's not), but the graphics are pretty good. No where near groundbreaking, but they are good. I do notice a slowdown time to time, mostly right before I go into a new area but it is not enough to hinder the entertainment value. It definitely is a pretty game to look at, I will not take that away.
I was not looking for an open-world game, in fact, I kind of hate how everyone expects that now of late. So, I don't mind, but rather like, the linearality of the game, with its defined paths, corridors, and areas. Of course there are side quests to accomplish to give you a break from the story. I can easily see myself sinking 20+ hours into the title, and for that at $49 that is a steal.
Having sunk, only a couple hours into Bound By Flame, I am excited to continue the story of Vulcan and the flame demon. There is much that I haven't really spent time with such as the crafting system and building relationships. But, as of right now, I definitely recommend this game, just don't expect a perfect AAA experience.

Call of Duty - Road to Not Sucking #3 - WHY HOST WHY?!?!
Played the new Call of Duty: Ghosts map Blitz. Blitz is reminence of Capture the Flag, but reverse. A team fights to capture a point in teh opposing teams base, to capture the point you have to run through the designated area...see how it is reverse capture the flag. It is the new Call of Duty: Ghosts CTF. It is quite fun, but I experienced terrible spawn camping which made me not want to play it anymore.

Tutorial - Ending Video Thumbnail (Beginner)
This is a quick tutorial on how to do the ending video thumbnail. Basically, that is the video that plays at the end of certain videos that gives the "credits" a nice flair. It also acts as advertisement to other videos on your library. There are plenty of ways to go about this, this is the simplest of ways as this is meant for beginners. I know it is simple, I was aiming at people just starting out and wondering how to do it.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - The Bow
I'm going to be honest, I have been playing the multiplayer component of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition more than the single player. Great times are to be had while playing the exhilarating multiplayer! There is a sense of satisfaction when you capture an enemy with a trap to get the final kill. But, there is better feeling, getting a kill with the Bow.
I didn't always use the bow online, and when I, didn't I was not having a lot of fun. But, I plunged into the bow face first and have not turned back. Pulling the bow string and leading an enemy... To release it just as he is about to kill a teammate. Something about that is amazing!
While using the assault rifles I had poor accuracy and to me, it was a gamble on who would win in a fire fight. Whilst, using the bow I know most of the time that I am going to hit the person or not. Sometimes, unfortunately I'll hit them, they'll kill me and then they'll drop dead from the arrow. Now that is definitely frustrating and it has happened way more than once.
Anyways, here is a Bow montage video that I quickly spun together to showcase some of the first games that I played with the bow.
