Wait, to beat NG, or to beat the whole game, as in get all rings, armor, spells and items?
Because if he died 2000 times just to beat NG, that's...impressive. Not sure how that's possible.

Complete the game..ie: reach an ending.

He's not an autistic sperg.

Yeah, that's a bit ridiculous. Might be an exaggeration?

If he spent an average of two minutes per life then he took over 66 hours to finish. And if you're playing carefully trying to get through an area you'd spend more than two minute per life. Maybe if you were trying to run past enemies 2000 deaths would make sense, but not just playing the game.

On the other hand he's old, so he might just have tons of patience while being very, very poor at games.

Normally I'm against wearing most gaming shirts in public, but dude looks like a badass.

The threshold line
When we used to play Ravenloft in 2nd ED. one of my friends reached level 5 six times due to liberal application of energy drain. Incredibly, he managed to keep alive a character (cleric iirc) who was basically half the level of every other player character in game. That is, until we went through Thoughts of Darkness. Dat final encounter... Illithid God-Brain anyone?!? Psionic Disintegrate with something like a -8 malus on saves? Good times.

There's More Bad Destiny 2 Merchandise Than Good Destiny 2 Content

People have fawned over Destiny's potential for years, circling the topic with deferential vagueness. This always confused me since the game itself was such a small and straightforward thing strung along by skinner box elements from World Of Warcraft circa 2005.

Now Destiny 2 has arrived, and I finally understand why everyone had such a difficult time communicating what they saw in the franchise. They weren't talking about the game, which is just more solid shooting on a loot treadmill as a pathetically small number of environments scroll past. They were talking about the potential of the license.

That potential has finally been realized by some godawful merchandise.

KontrolFreek Destiny 2 CQC Edition

Product Description: "Kontrol Freek's Destiny 2 CQC Signature Edition is the perfect loot for gamers seeking victory in the Destiny universe. Developed in collaboration with the game designer, Bungie, this limited-edition Performance Thumbstick set is optimal for achieving the speed and steady aim necessary to play like a Guardian legend."

On the one hand, it's trusted by pros. On the other hand, I was really hoping to increase my KDR by 27%.

Destiny 2 Ghost Candle Holder and Scented Candles

destiny2candles.jpg


Product Description: "Light up your room and fill the air with the phenomenal scents captured by infamous Destiny gameplay."

Sometimes you just want to smell the moon and contemplate the infamous Destiny gameplay.

Destiny 2 Tricorn Ice Cube Tray

destiny2ice.jpg


Product Description: "The black silicone tray is able to create 6 ice cubes at a time in the shape of the well-known Tricorn from Destiny. We can guarantee Tricorn shaped ice cubes are a lot more exciting than anything else!"

I was going to mock the idea of ice being "a lot more exciting than anything else", but if I'm being honest with myself nothing in my own life has been more exciting since the mid-2000s.

Destiny 2 Traveller Stressball

destiny2stress.jpg


Product Description: "Take your anger out on our specially designed Traveller stressball. The design consists of muted blacks and beiges and has a lightweight feel - meaning if you do need to throw it in frustration you won't break any of your other incredible Destiny 2 merchandise!"

This isn't exactly a criticique of the product itself, but the image above might actually be from an HD texture pack for Rise of the Triad.

Destiny 2 Guardian Bathrobe

destiny2robe.jpg


Product Description: "Our premium, fresh-looking white bathrobe is what all masters of Destiny need to be wearing for the best gameplay. The gold trim also adds an extra element of exquisiteness alongside the embroidered Guardian Crest logo and level-up icon. An ideal luxury gift for all Destiny fans."

Question: Can I wear this and my Xbox Onesie at the same time? Or would everyone in the supermarket consider that a faux pas?

I had thought Console Gamers had some self-respect but it has become to Mobile Gamers levels of trash.

Is humanity really that retarded? Can they not escape from this skinner box run with your wallet bullshit?

Obviously not, since it's getting worse every year. It's not just console gamers btw. World of Tanks just as a pretty bad example that started on PC.

Yes, I learned about Super Mario World back in the mid-90s by watching Big Bang Theory, it's true. A friend of mine had a Super Nintendo and he bought Donkey Kong Country when some character in Big Bang Theory talked about the game, then we played it. We wouldn't have known about the game without that show. I am very grateful to Big Bang Theory for that.
