No one 'actually cares anymore' [emoji23][emoji23] Couldn't have put it better, I feel like it will never come out of the shadows of CoD.

Do you play much league play? Not sure how it will make the game better as I've never played it.

They played amazingly well Phil. Should have been at least 3-1 even though couldve been a different story if Coutinho scored those two shots that hit the post. The teams in the knockout phase looks like a perfect dream of who you really want through into the final 16.

I seem to like higher TTK so that puts me off straight away.

I probably will be Dan. It's been a while for a CoD session and I've spoken to a few people online about a getting a larger party going.

Yep, we need more people to get back into it but it's slowly coming back into our lives. It would be a good little series to follow to see how far you could actually go with a little coaching.

Huddlestone signed up to a series?! That's impressive. I do think he plays Loki really well.

Nice Dave! That's all I've really done tonight and can now see the 3 extra bounties to unlock further stats for it. As far as cosmetics go, this is by far the best one we've had and worth the grind for upgrading different stuff from weapons and armour.

This is what will happen. 100% next year. Imagine our mugs whilst GTA is on.

Thanks Gary, I'll check this out when I get the chance to. How do the Chiefs fair?

I think the grind being the way it is a really good thing. It's only a 3 week event and my first impressions are that the twist on this type of event using an "oven" and you have to create stuff is a really inventive way of getting variety into the game. I'm also not finding it to be the ultimate everything that I do. I can do it alongside the other stuff I'm focusing on but then take a look at the oven and items I've received over the past hour to see if I can create anything else. As a free live event goes, I think it fits in nicely to what is going on in Destiny right now.

A key part of the Dawning is to bake and create tasty treats that you can then give away to different NPCs across the entire Destiny world. Below are the key ingredients you need to put together in your oven along with 15 Essence of Dawning. I think this has been pretty well executed in my opinion. You need to bake at least 12 recipes to get the amazeballs sparrow. Infinite Forest Cake: (Failsafe) Vex Milk, Impossible Heat, add Essence of Dawning, then bake Vanilla Blades: (Lord Shaxx) Cabal Oil, Sharp Flavor Gentleman's Shortbread: (Devrim Kay) Ether Cane, Perfect Taste Eliksni Birdseed: (Hawthorne) Ether Cane, Personal Touch Burnt Edge Transits: (Master Rahool) Mix two ingredients that do not successfully combine Traveller Donut Holes: (Ikora) Cabal Oil, Flash of Inspiration Candy Dead Ghosts: (The Spider) Dark Ether Cane, Flash of Inspiration Telemetry Tapioca: (Banshee-44) Mix Vex Milk and Bullet Spray, add Essence of Dawning, then bake. Radiolarian Pudding: (Asher Mir) Vex Milk, Electric Flavor Strange Cookies: (Xur) Mix Taken Butter and Electric Flavor, add Essence of Dawning, then bake. Gjallardoodles: (Zavala) Ether Cane, Delicious Explosion Chocolate Ship Cookies: (Amanda Holliday) Cabal Oil. Null Taste Alkane Dragée Cookies: (Sloane) Chitin Powder, Bullet Spray Ill-Fortune Cookies: (Petra Venj) Dark Ether Cane, Impossible Heat Javelin Mooncake: (Ana Bray) Chitin Powder, Sharp Flavor Dark Chocolate Motes: (The Drifter) Taken Butter, Null Taste

I need to get myself all clued up on this Disney / Netflix / Marvel thing going on. I heard it was one of the best spin offs they've made so far.

They clearly must still have a large fanbase that keeps the franchise going, a little like FIFA. These games don't really seem to evolve at all yet their model to release a game or two a year still delivers because of the name. It has to still follow the theme but I don't see any variance in missions, etc not like Ghost Recon Wildlands when they added things like the Predator mission.

Not gonna lie. I NEED that Sleigh, I mean Sparrow.

Here's the info from Bungie.net about the event that starts at today's reset. The Dawning begins on Tuesday, December 11. The Dawning ends on Tuesday, January 1. "Come in, come in! Even you Guardians can catch a chill. Things have certainly changed since I last called this place home. But the Dawning is always here for us: just as we should always be here for each other." —Eva Levante When the Dawning last came to the City, a new Golden Age had just begun. Humanity had faced their greatest threat and emerged victorious, if not unscathed. Our Light had returned, brighter than ever. We were dazzled by the infinite possibilities in the world, and every day brought something new. The return of something familiar can be like a welcome visit from an old friend. This year's Dawning is no exception. Our dear Eva Levante—who was instrumental in bringing the traditions of the Dawning to the Tower—returns with it. Eva's fond memories of the heroes who share her home—and the friends she's made in her many years there—spurred her to write down some of her favorite recipes, and recall stories of Dawnings past. This year, she'll share them with some of her favorite Guardians, and help bring the spirit of togetherness back to the Tower. Baking the Goods Eva has returned to the Tower and brought her baking supplies with her. All players of Destiny 2 are invited to join the celebration. She will provide the oven and some ingredients to get you started, but you will need to go out into world to gather more ingredients by defeating enemies and completing various activities in Destiny 2. Once you have your ingredients, you can start combining them to create some tasty treats like Gjallardoodles or Chocolate Ship Cookies. We’ll give you a few recipes to get you started, but it’s up to you to try different combinations and discover which ones turn into the most delicious cookies. Be careful: mismatched ingredients result in burnt edges. You might be asking: “What do I do with all these cookies?” Friends you’ve made throughout the solar system are eager to receive your baked good as gifts. They will show their thanks by rewarding you in their own ways. There will also be bounties to complete along with your cookbook. Here’s a preview of the rewards you’ll have a chance to earn: Enhancement Cores Mods Legendary Gear Avalanche Heavy Machinegun, featuring random rolls That’s not all you will earn while you celebrate the Dawning. As you gather ingredients and bake items, you will also progress towards unlocking a festive new Sparrow. Your new ride will come equipped with some very special perks. Glimmer Boost While boosting, the Sparrow spawns a glimmer present every few seconds, until boost runs out. Glimmer presents burst open after a moment so that players can acquire the glimmer. Only active during the dawning. Glimmer Trick When the player lands a trick with the Sparrow, 3 to 5 glimmer presents are spawned. Only active during the Dawning. Instant Summon Reduces Sparrow summon time significantly. Dedicated bakers will also have triumphs to pursue. Those who unlock all the Triumphs during the Dawning will be flying in style. Double Drops A new event means new wares from Eververse. During the Dawning, we’re continuing the tradition of double Engram drops. All players who are at max level (depending on what content they own) will receive both a Bright Engram and a Dawning Engram on every level-up. There will also be a “knock-out” list on the Dawning Engram, preventing you from receiving duplicate items until you’ve earned all of the new items.

I'm finding there's so many tiny things to do and check out that don't really mean anything, I think its best for me to stick to the missions for a while. Until it proactively wants me to look at side parts of the game I imagine I'm gonna get lost - and I'm only at the start of Chapter 2 still.

I didn't think you played games any other way?

The amount of people that play FIFA and CoD exclusively is a lot more than you realise. I bet the 11 year olds went nuts.

When's that for you?

Yes, sorry Black Talon (autocorrect is shit sometimes). At least we now know that if you want the new Exotic Grenade Launcher, The Anarchy, you'll need to complete the Scourge of the Past Raid.

Where I might bend this rule is if you stick a certain game on a game boy cartridge. If you could get the whole game on that and still have the feel of loading the game as expected then definitely worthwhile. I really think there could be a niche market to reload better full games within consoles that have cartridges.

Transistor is one of the best games available to download on PSN so I hear your recommendation and will be hoping for a platform release to come as soon as possible.

Glad they are rebooting some of the classic franchises although this one I actually didn't like. I was spoilt with Mario Kart at an early age so this never really compared to that. I suppose it will be good to have an alternative MK that is on PlayStation.

I feel kinda like this, the parents have seized an opportunity and you still have to be fairly switched on to make this happen. They have to keep switched on all the time and I suppose the kid himself is having the best time of his life at 7!
