The anticipation is building for the new Warmind expansion coming this May 8 from Bungie, so what do we at the Tower do to pass the time? Well, we get together and play some Destiny 2, of course… …and yeah, we play other games as well. Shocked, are you? You shouldn’t be. We love Destiny, as you know; but we play other games as well. Today on Happy Hour from the Tower, Tee, Nick and Brandon kick back and talk about other games they play outside the confines of the Cosmodrome. Doesn’t mean we think...

It started with a query from XBox Guardian, occasional Twitch streamer, and D1 veteran Kevin O’Connor. It became a conversation that needed to happen here at Happy Hour from the Tower. There is some rough-around-the-edges talk here (especially from Tee) so this particular episode is not safe for work or for consumption around younger listeners. ...
