Nintendo 64 turns 18 today

Image
One of my favorite systems of all times turns 18 today. September 29th, 1996 - 18 years ago today - the Nintendo 64 hit US shelves. I had to wait to get my system for Christmas, but it didnt stop me from playing Mario 64 at every Walmart kiosk I could get my hands on. For nostalgic purposes, check out this first look VHS from the Ninedo 64 release. Man do I feel old.

Free Destiny Emblems, Shaders and Grimoire Cards

I was browsing ebay today and found auctions for 27 Destiny Items for $2. I was about to bite the bullet and do it (just for the exclusive shaders) but then Reddit came through and I found all codes, for free.  All of these codes work on all systems and are activated on bungie.net and transfer across to all platforms. So without further to do, here you go: Redeem Here:  http://www.bungie.net/en/User/coderedemption Emblem: Illusion of Light - JD7-4CM-HJG Emblem: Lone Focus, Jagged Edge - 7CP-94V-LFP Emblem: Field of Light - JNX-DMH-XLA Emblem: Ab Aeterno - JDT-NLC-JKM Emblem: Binding Focus - FJ9-LAM-67F Emblem: Sign of the Finite - 7F9-767-F74 Shader: Double Banshee - 7MM-VPD-MHP Shader: Oracle 99 - RXC-9XJ-4MH Destiny Collector's Card #1: Class: Warlock (Grimoire Card): YKA-RJG-MH9 Destiny Collector's Card #2: Class: Titan (Grimoire Card): 3DA-P4X-F6A Destiny Collector's Card #3: Class: Hunter (Grimoire Card): MVD-4N3-NKH Destiny

Destiny's Loot Cave - My new addiction'

Image
Destiny is the first MMO type game I've ever played. Since finding out about loot cave and sharing it amongst the group, it has become an addiction of mine. Since capping my Hunter @ level 20, I haven't put much effort into gaining armor to go beyond level 20. So instead I have been leveling up my Titan and Warlock classes, using the cave. Some of you may be asking why, and honestly I don't know, I just want to experience all sides of the characters. The cave has been interesting so far as well. From discussions with friends to that moment when the suns align and warlocks pop out of the cave and the spot turns into a huge battle of never ending enemies. Still unsure why that phenomenon happens, but when it does.... amazing!!! Get in on it before its patched.

New Game Center Issue Available: Destiny

Image
Being the nice guy that I am, I like to keep you all updated on freebies, especially when they are gaming related. As Ive mentioned before,  Game Center magazine is a free publication that you can pickup at your local Walmart, in the electronic section. Its completely free, and makes for a pretty good read while bored or sitting on the John. The latest issue also comes with a Disney Infinity 2.0 poster, which you or maybe your kids are a fan of. Either way, for free, its well worth the price of admission.

Destiny reviews rolling in...

Image
Destiny reviews have been pouring online over the last couple days, and its not getting as much love as I expected it too. I havent spent enough time with Destiny yet to give my take, and looking forward to trying out the fireteam feature this weekend, and progressing a bit further. One of the things I have found about Destiny I do like though, the transition from Xbox One>360 and vice-versa is seamless. Also noticed that whatever achievements I popped on Xbox One, instantly popped when I went to 360 version. I should have my review up Monday.
