Ep 28 - The Speaker & Traveler
Thursday Apr 28, 2016
Thursday Apr 28, 2016
Episode 28 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together again to do battle against Skype and the siren song of much needed slumber to discuss the information that is available on arguably two of the more controversial subjects within Destiny - the Speaker and the Traveler. The conversation ranges from a brief dive into the Dreams of Alpha Lupi grimoire cards to a conversation discussing what exactly is the importance behind the repeated appearance of the number three within Destiny. There's a few heated conversations within the episode, but ultimately, it's decided that, for as much as we know about these two figures...there's still a ton left to guess (which is probably why, in the same vein as Yor and Ward, they are such a debated topic as far as intentions go).
As usual, please let us know any feedback you have or any questions that you might want us to start considering for our upcoming Lore 101 and Spinfoil Corner series by emailing us at FocusedFireChat@gmail.com or on twitter @FocusedFireChat. Be sure to also jump over to iTunes to give us a quick review on how we're doing - we are also avaiable on the Destiny Community Hub app, as well as Google Play Music. Thank you again for giving our ramblings a listen!
As noted in the show - the post on reddit discussing the differences between the ARG and the Grimoire cards for the Dreams of Alpha Lupi can be found here.

Ep 27 - Vanguard Mentors
Thursday Apr 21, 2016
Thursday Apr 21, 2016
Episode 27 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy back together (against the wishes of the evil forces of Skype and AT&T - which tried multiple times throughout the night to thwart their progress) to discuss the information that we have available to us on the three individuals who we know as the Vanguard Mentors. From a summary of the individual Mentor's past lives, to a rather heated argument regarding the previous Mentors who held the positions prior to the current generation of Mentors - the group walks through the information covered in the chat room and from the Grimoire. While the debate on who really owns the title of "master class" in Destiny is still certainly in motion - one thing can be for certain...Skype really wanted to mess with things.

Return to Focused Fire - Destiny Podcast Mashup
Sunday Apr 17, 2016
Sunday Apr 17, 2016
This mashup episode brings the Return to Orbit podcast hosts Jay and Mark together with Blue to chat about the recent Destiny update that released this week, from the potential secrets noted in a recent Kotaku article to a rough rundown of the new Grimoire information that was provided to the players. We even got a chance to hear Blue's introduction to gaming and how he stumbled across Destiny, as well as a brief glimpse in to the theory of what it means to be a Guardian within the Destiny universe and the nethervese that he touched on in the Focused Fire Chat's earlier episode this week (Darkness & Light).
Special thanks to the Return to Orbit podcast team for the amazing chat - be sure to check their podcast out here and give them a follow here:

Ep 26 - Darkness & Light
Thursday Apr 14, 2016
Thursday Apr 14, 2016
Episode 26 brings Blue and Willy together to discuss the slippery irreality of Darkness and Light within the world of Destiny...or at least to start the conversation of this massive undertaking. Touching on basic topics such as what are those Motes of Light we keep acquiring to a more detailed, Aristotelian theory on the nature of the Guardians by Blue - the duo try to touch on the majority of the larger theories thrown around in the chat this past week. And, to be fair - they do a pretty impressive job, considering that the deities of technology and the internet worked pretty hard to prevent them from succeeding. But patience and a fair amount of post-production editing creates success!

Ep 25 - The Black Garden
Thursday Apr 07, 2016
Thursday Apr 07, 2016
Episode 25 brings Blue, Justin, and Willy together to discuss the Black Garden, a central piece of the vanilla Destiny experience - and something which still, to this day, remains a mystery. What is the Garden? What does the Black Heart intend to use the Sol Progeny for? How does Paean fit into this week's episode? We know the really important questions you want us to answer. We manage to cover the chat's theories,as well as delve into some interesting trivia about the naming of some individuals connected to the Garden, a particular set of seemingly random armor, and even discuss those little "Vex ducks" that are seen on the Pantheon crucible map.
Apologies for the spotty audio - some of the team was traveling this week, so we were relying on the amazing hotel internet for a connection, but Blue did his best to clean up the quality and trim out those pesky bursts of sound for you guys.
