Although Age of Triumph was billed as an event meant to celebrate everything Destiny 1, with some in-game rewards as well, the focus for many players was the shirt. Once players hit rank 7 in their Age of Triumph record book, they would unlock a code. That code could then be used to purchase a special edition Age of Triumph shirt. Originally, Bungie had revealed that players could redeem the shirt code until Age of Triumph ended on August 1st, but that apparently is no longer the case....

Luke Smith, the Creative Director of The Taken King, admitted yesterday that Destiny still needs long-term goals to keep players engaged. [HTML1] His tweet came as a reply to Destiny streamer Gothalion, who commented that the work to hit the Light level cap of 320 isn’t worth the effort. Gothalion proposed that if Bungie added some sort of motivation to hitting the level cap—even a visual flair, such as bringing back the blue head flame aura that used to be gained by completing each week’s Nightfall—that players might continue playing to achieve the max level....

Archon’s Forge is Destiny’s new arena mode, a mix of Prison of Elders and Court of Oryx. The reason players will want to continue to play this mode is that items will drop up to 385 Light. Plus, the weekly bounties players can pick up from Shiro-4 on Felwinter Peak (which you will want to do because they give insane amounts of Vanguard and faction reputation) almost always involve playing Archon’s Forge....

Prior to the initial Year 2 reveal event, Bungie announced two new multiplayer modes for the Crucible entitled Rift and Mayhem, both of which will be available in The Taken King DLC. This weekend – Saturday, August 22, at 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT, to be specific – the studio behind Destiny will show off never-before-seen Rift PvP gameplay during a special Red Bull livestream. Held in the Red Bull eSports Studio in Santa Monica, the broadcast will be hosted by Bungie’s David “Deej” Dague and designer Lars Bakken, as they should provide color commentary and development tidbits....

Sure, Destiny may be a well-explored game by now, with reports surfacing that developer Bungie is already moving on to work on a sequel, and the wealth of locked DLC environments apparently already discovered. But that doesn’t mean that the many players still plugging their way through the game’s open world, Strikes or Raid have given up on finding new experiences buried within the game’s systems. For evidence, look no farther than the recent video appearing online bringing the act of ‘Sparrow Surfin’’ to audiences everywhere....

That decision has been made, although Bungie has yet to date when the following changes will hit the game. Bungie posted on its official forums saying that, while the change was unintended, it gave its designers a chance to look at how it could affect the game in a positive way: This reference to “1-hit kill” weapons being less dominant is referring to the change to Special Ammo, which has dramatically decreased the amount of ammo players have, thus leading to more players using their primaries....

The stadium opened in 1994 with 130 suites and about 45,000 seats in an era when bigger ballparks were the norm in Major League Baseball. The most recent upgrades will cut stadium capacity to about 37,000 and could cost more than $15 million, according to proposals issued by the Indians. Over the years, as the market shifted toward fewer premium seats and a wider variety of high-end seating options, the trend has been to go smaller in terms of capacity and the total number of seats....

We’re not talking about a new single-player campaign. We’re talking about the mode that defines the CoD series: multiplayer. The last few games, including Treyarch’s Black Ops, have included similar perks and killstreaks, but Modern Warfare adds another layer to this system and one that doesn’t just benefit the match’s the players with high Kill/Death ratios. Say hello to ‘Strike Packages,’ a new reward system that aims to reward players for how they play and not just those who have the highest kill counts....

Late in the second period of a tied game, Howard took a risk by leaving his net in an attempt to halt Ilya Mikheyev’s breakaway. He completely missed the puck and only minorly affected Ilya Mikheyev’s trajectory to the net. The Maple Leafs forward easily slipped the puck in behind the sprawling goalie. MORE: The Wraparound Mikheyev’s second tally of the season put the Leafs up 2-1 with less than a minute remaining in the middle frame....

Why is this a big deal? Because Fauria has been given the gift of dance, and it's the gift that keeps on giving for NFL fans. In the first quarter, the big fella summoned his inner R. Kelly for a little "Bump N' Grind" display aftering scoring an early touchdown against the Cleveland Browns. MORE: NFL Week 6 in photos | Week 6 live blog | McCoy flip fumble...

Apparently, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s System Rift DLC will not only bring about new gameplay, but also players will see the return of Frank Pritchard, Sarif Industries’ head of cyber-security. Fans will more than likely recall that the character was last seen in the franchise’s previous entry of Human Revolution. A press release for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s System Rift expansion describes that the game’s protagonist Adam Jensen will “assist [Pritchard] in hunting down information on the mysterious Santeau Group,” and “may also be able to uncover hints as to who the Illuminati really are....

RELATED: Strange Things You Didn’t Know About Bayonetta’s Hair For newcomers to the Devil May Cryfranchise, this laid-back approach to combat can become quite new to the heavy-action series. However, V’s mechanics in Devil May Cry 5prove he can dish out just as much damage and combos as series staples Dante and Nero. However, just how can players fully master V’s combat, considering how different it is compared to the two demon hunters?...

The controversial videos showed Camen allegedly wearing blackface and using racist language. People also discovered a separate video where the voice actor sports a wig while making transphobic jokes. Immediately after the discovery of the offensive materials, Camen was quick to delete the videos from his YouTube channel and has since issued an apology to the community. Camen tried to explain that the videos were meant to be an “edgy” type of comedy and that he never portrayed himself in blackface, given that he was merely wearing a multicolored mask....

Hinckley shot Reagan and three others during a failed assassination attempt on March 30, 1981, outside the Washington, D.C. Hilton hotel. DEVO, often known for the 1980 hit “Whip It,” obtained permission from Hinckley to use part of a poem that he had written in lyrics for the song “I Desire,” which appeared on the band’s 1982 album Oh, No! It’s DEVO. On Sunday, Hinckley took to Twitter to claim that he had not received royalties from the song for decades....

Twitter users responded to a tweet by The Lincoln Project, a Republican-led group whose stated goal is to “defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box.” In the past, the group has released anti-Trump advertisements. George Conway, co-founder of The Lincoln Project has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. Conway is also the husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway. “Are you a #LincolnVoter? If you have typically voted republican in the past, quote tweet this with why you’ve decided to vote blue this year....

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a Freedom of Information Act complaint in federal court in San Francisco earlier this week, asking a judge to force the DHS to share information on its use of Rapid DNA testing. The complaint highlights how little the DHS has so far shared about its use of DNA testing at the border. The EFF has demanded to know how many people, including children have had their DNA collected at the border, how accurate the DNA tests are, as well as what exact gene processing is being used to identify parent-child relationships....

Teammate Nico Hulkenberg had to retire three laps from the finish. However, he was still classified 21st as he finished more than 90 percent of the race. The team are still seventh in the constructor’s championship with 63 points behind sixth placed Sauber with 100 points. Di Resta and Hulkenberg are 13th and 14th in the driver’s championship with 32 and 31 points respectively. Di Resta had qualified fourth Saturday but dropped five places on the grid for an unscheduled gearbox change....

While the gameplay and story remain largely unchanged, the biggest difference are the visuals which have gotten a massive overhaul thanks to upgraded 3D models overlayed on top of the original 2D sprites. Naturally, Diablo 2: Resurrected supports 4K visuals, though players who want to experience the game as it was back in 2000 can simply toggle the graphics back into legacy mode. In addition to the classic gameplay, fans have discovered that the updated game’s code actually shares a lot with the original 2000 version....

The feature that was designed as a boon to help involve the role of actual money in purchasing and augmenting virtual items is now slowly turning into a bane for Blizzard. Cases are surfacing from different regions regarding the company’s various rules that have led to loss of money for customers. A couple of fans even posted online that they had reported the game to the FBI as well, though it is yet to be confirmed if the latter reverted....
