Episode 71 brings Blue, Justin, Mel, and returning guest co-host, coedbeast together to explore the available information that we currently have on the exotic armor available to the Warlock class of Guardians. As with the Hunter armor, while there isn't necessarily an overabundance of information to be found within the Grimoire iteself, the triva connections to information outside of the game world of Destiny are astoundingly interesting - and honestly there are plenty of Rabbit Holes to get lost in while walking through even this limited sampling of gear that is available to this one class of Guardians. Hope you enjoy the descent into madness - and we promise, we were pretty nice to the Warlock guest who was kind enough to come out of the library long enough to talk to us.

Our 11th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and special guest co-host N64Josh together to explore the Legend of Zelda series. There are a few twists and turns down the story of how exactly this series, more than any other, affected Blue and Josh's love for video games - but don't worry, we explain the biggest area of confusion. Link is not Zelda. Don't worry - we got this!

Episode 70 brings Blue, Justin, and returning guest co-host Grneyedmusiklvr together to explore the available information that we currently have on the exotic armor available to the Hunter class of Guardians. Surprisingly, while there's not necessarily an overabundance of Grimoire information within Destiny on the armor, there are a ton of trivia connections (and opinions, in the case of Justin) for each of the items discussed. So prepare yourself - this one was a bit of a fun one to record...and allowed the team to delve a bit further into spinfoil territory than even they usually go (especially Blue...when Justin wasn't arguing about the importance of cloaks).

Episode 69 brings Blue, Justin, and returning guest co-host, Kachine together to chat about what it's like to be a gamer and a parent - something that some of our community has chatted with us about in the past. Get ready for a somewhat off topic episode (thanks to the community for the selection of "Yes" yet again - we'll probably see that back in the rotation here later this year) about the joys and challenges of being a parent in the modern world, where gaming has (thankfully, for those of us who are gamers) become more of a everyday staple in our lives.

Episode 68 brings Blue, Justin, and special guest co-host grneyedmusiklvr together to chat about everyone's favorite technicolored warmongers, the Future War Cult. Get ready for a bit of a jaunt through time, as many records found concerning the FWC are from nothing other than the mysterious machine which drove so many to madness. And granted, Blue takes a bit of a dive when it comes to explaining the connections present within the works of Teilhard and some of the intricacies of the Omega Point in regards to their connection to the philosophies of the FWC.

Episode 67 brings Blue and Justin together to chat explore the information that we have pertaining to the Vex themed strikes within the current Destiny universe. Get ready - there's a bit of discussion on the relative nature of how we experience time, the consequences and concepts of temporal manipulation, as well as a pretty detailed discussion of the make up of the Vex Axis Minds and their various types of functionality. And Blue uses Google to make sure that they get a word right - much to the surprise of Justin and the chat.

Our 10th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Justin, Mel, and very special returning guest co-host, MyNameIsByf together to explore the Mass Effect series (honestly, it was more an effort on Byf and Mel's part - Blue and Justin had no clue what was going on other than they were being invaded by treefrogs). Byf, as the resident expert on the series, lays out an beautiful explanation of the storyline of the overall series, up to the point of the upcoming new title, Andromeda - and Mel does an amazing job of adding in useful facts as well as keeping Justin and Blue busy so they don't distract the heavy lifters.

Episode 66 brings Blue, Justin, Mel, and returning special guest co-hosts Damoel and Demigod257 together to discuss the available information that we have on the infamous Fallen House of Devils. The team discusses the basic information from the Grimoire, as well as delving into a bit more detail on the implications of what this means about Servitors, the possible ramifications of the knowledge (or lack thereof) that Variks holds in regards to the Devil Splicers antics, and even possible indications of pre-Whirlwind House structure for the Eliksni.
Also, please note there is a bit of a deviation on the structure of the episode this time (pre and post show segments that were requested to be added in) - but don't worry, we'll get back to the usual structure next episode!

Episode 65 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel back together to discuss the vehicles that our Guardians utilize to traverse through the amazing universe of Destiny (predominately the jumpships, which are sources of great trivia tidbits within the lore of the game and actually rather fascinating once you delve into the design and concepts of the overall models). While there aren't a huge number of Grimoire Cards - Blue and Grneyed have managed to compile a vast amount of data into a nicely laid out map (link below) and the majority of the episode is actually discussing the logic that Blue sees within the display of information regarding the jumpships. There is a healthy chat about the lore implications of the Raid ships (as well as a short foray into the evolution of the ships that were avaiable in each successive Raid) and even some good tips/tricks for SRL from our good friend, Taylor-B (linked below as well for everyone).

Episode 64 brings Blue, Justin, and Mel back together to discuss the weapons of the enemy races within the Destiny universe - focusing primarily on the mundane "pew, pew, pew" (as Justin so eloquently puts it) archetypes. We run through the available Grimoire cards for the equipment, looking at the thematic narratives that each race's choice of arms presents, with a few punny interjections. Bear with the minor audio hiccups - Blue's computer was trying to decide if it was going to cooperate throughout the episode, and there were a few small spots where it just wanted to take some small breaks (they're not major points of the conversation, as far as Blue is able to tell).
