The anticipation is building for the new Warmind expansion coming this May 8 from Bungie, so what do we at the Tower do to pass the time? Well, we get together and play some Destiny 2, of course…

…and yeah, we play other games as well.

Shocked, are you? You shouldn’t be. We love Destiny, as you know; but we play other games as well. Today on Happy Hour from the Tower, Tee, Nick and Brandon kick back and talk about other games they play outside the confines of the Cosmodrome. Doesn’t mean we think Destiny is no longer worthwhile. Variety, after all, is the spice of life.

What about you? What games do you play between Ion Banners? Do you play with your Fireteam, or with completely different people? Let’s hear your thoughts or feedback  at 703.791.1701 or podcast (at) happyhourfromthetower (dot) com. We’d love to hear from you!

00:00 — Introduction

Wouldn’t it be cool if Failsafe was on the show?
Still no love for that Brother from another mother on Mercury…
Wouldn’t it be cool if Sloan was on the show?
These jokes is still not old to us.

1:12 — Episode #034: Yeah, We Play Games…

Changing gears here at the Tower to talk about gaming from a perspective outside of Destiny.
We saw what you did there, Brandon.
So, you might have noticed that some people aren’t playing Destiny 2. So what are they playing?
Did you know Nick has a Nintendo Switch?

He didn’t but it for Zelda…
…nor did he buy it for the plumber.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 — Nick’s Nintendo Obsession
Well, it would be an obsession…if he played it.
What keeps bringing Nick back to Xenoblade…
Shout-out to Video Game Heaven in Virginia Beach.
In between trying to find time for Xenoblade 2, Nick’s passion for movie reviews is back.

Now Brandon is never short on video game reviews on the Geek Wolfpack Podcast, and it’s because he’s playing…

Both Friday the 13th: The Game and Dead by Daylight
A little detour to talk about Until Dawn…
…and some shout-out’s to Twitch streamers ZG Photo and SinCity. (That’s SinCityBossRox, Tee.)
Brandon has returned to The Division. Here’s why.
Evolve takes a backseat to Overwatch and…The Sims? Really?

20:05 — This Kaiju Life

20:34 — Episode #034: Yeah, We Play Games… (Part Two)

Twitch streamers are returning to Destiny, but not the current release…
Looking back on Destiny and the slippery slope we’re trying to avoid.
So, Tee, what are you playing on your stream?

Mondays belong to Munch and a little sensation called Fortnite.
Tee is not into the “Battle Royale” games, but he is loving Fortnite.
EDITOR’S NOTE: We recorded this show before Brandon won his first victory. Since then, he’s into it.
Tee’s got a morning crew for Fortnite.

Munch
Chavalaar
Michi
…and now, Trushuks!

On Thursday, Tee hosts #ThrillerThursday

His first game for this event? The Tomb Raider reboot.
Nice lead up to the Tomb Raider movie with Alicia Vikander. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Watched it! LOVED it!)
Tee wants to stream Bioshock, but there’s a problem…

What are we looking ahead to play?

Tee’s looking ahead to the steampunk adventure, The Order 1886.
Nick wants to play Fallout 4 on account of a friend of the show…
Brandon — and a lot of other people — are waiting for Cyberpunk 2077.
And there’s the speculation around Anthem.
Brandon is also looking forward to…

Detroit Become Human
State of Decay 2
Hunt Showdown
Last of Us, Part 2 (a favorite of The Expanse’s Cas Anvar)
