September Mid-Month Gaming Update

Your friendly, neighborhood Praetor to the Fist brings you this update containing information regarding gaming in general. I’ll be bringing you updates around the middle of each month and I’ll update you on anything remotely concerning gaming that I think is worthwhile, whether it’s club supported or not.

StarCraft 2 Discount

Both StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty and StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm are on sale 50% off. You can pick up each one digitally for $9.99. If you’re new to StarCraft 2 or haven’t played yet (like me) you can try it out for free.

The Taken King

One year ago Destiny was released and was one of the biggest game releases in history. Several had high hopes for it’s release and some people feel it didn’t meet their expectations. Some people gave up on Bungie and blamed Activision for the game many felt lacked story and content. It became supported in the DB shortly after release and to this day is one of our more popular PvE games. I stuck with the game and enjoyed myself along the way. The Taken King released on the 15th and for many people it was Bungie’s last chance to prove themselves. Bungie did not disappoint. I’ve only heard positive things about it and have been impressed since the first cutscene sprang to life on my TV. If this is a game you’ve thought about trying go pick up The Legendary Edition in order to get all previous content, as well as The Taken King.

First!

Love the update. Keep up the awesome work, Ernor!

Any news on when the wiki will be updated concerning PoBs? The new level cap on Destiny with the Taken King is 40.

Battlefront Beta, my body is ready!

Excellent things ahead, Battlefront being the best of them!

You missed the most important game of all for September releases: Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer.

Best game.

Ernor, I have some real issues with these things, not sure what they are yet but I am not happy and you need to fix that. ;p

I feel the slight tingle of persuasion in the back of my mind? Something about 'buying a PC'? Does anyone else feel that?

Awesome report, Ernor! :P

Why buy a new pc when you can build one, Lexic? ;)

Cool to see the first Uprising competition!
