Determined Cousins Has Victorious Vikings Debut Vs. 49Ers

He decided to run for it. The San Francisco defense converged as Cousins crossed his 40-yard line, so the most expensive player in Vikings history lowered his head as he tried to power his way past the first-down marker. Cousins took a shoulder to the back from 49ers linebacker Elijah Lee as he tumbled to the turf and came up just short, a dangerous way for a franchise quarterback to try to move the chains, but his determination to experience victory in his Vikings debut on Sunday afternoon was not to be reasoned with....

Destiny 2 Raids Getting Power Level Drop Increase

The answer for developer Bungie has virtually always been to lock previous endgame gear at the level belonging to that activity’s previous level cap. That has encouraged players to play the newest endgame content, but the flip side is that players tend to move on and never play those older activities again. But all that’s about to change with Destiny 2’s Warmind expansion. According to Bungie, Destiny 2’s Leviathan raid and Eater of Worlds raid lair will get their gear buffed to match the Warmind expansion’s new Power levels....

Destiny 2 S New Player Experience Puts Bungie In A Unique Predicament

Thus, with the launch of the Beyond Light expansion, Destiny 2’s vanilla content was removed for the most part by Bungie when the company decided to “vault” old campaigns and locations to let the game grow without sacrificing the players’ experience and enjoyment. While the problem of performance and loading times was finally manageable, the removal of the classic campaigns that Destiny 2 included did come with other issues attached, such as how to get newcomers started....

Destiny 2 S Operation Seraph S Shield Should Set The Benchmark For Seasonal Quests

The last several weeks of Season of the Seraph have set a high bar for the story unfolding. Bringing back Clovis Bray’s Exo Frame has revitalized the storytelling and brought a compelling character and narrative that the Seasonal content sorely needed. Additionally, exploring and learning more about his many facilities and works nicely sets up humanity’s preparations for The Witness’s return, which is highly anticipated in the future Lightfall expansion for Destiny 2 releasing in February 2023....

Destiny 2 S Sunset Weapons Should Return With Three Major Exceptions

This is what most sandbox patches are for, like one coming next Tuesday in the 30th Anniversary Pack. Something Bungie decided to do some time ago was “sunset” several of Destiny 2’s weapons, including most Pinnacle weapons, which drastically reduced players’ options when making a build. Many popular weapons have been removed from the game, some because of their excessive power, and now would be a great time for Bungie to revert the sunsetting of everything but three game-breaking guns....

Destiny 2 Shows Off Tangled Shore Area And Public Events

Our first in-depth look at The Tangled Shore comes thanks to Game Informer, who have a month’s worth of Destiny 2 content planned. To see the video, head to their post by clicking here. The Tangled Short seems to match the expansion’s darker narrative tone, which will go so far as to kill off fan-favorite characters in the opening of the storyline. The location boasts Fallen architecture similar to what fans are used to, but more down-trodden and tribal to represent the exiled Scorn enemies guardians will face throughout the expansion....

Before talking about the listing it’s important to point out that nothing has been confirmed by Bungie and this is the time that fans like to create convincing (or unconvincing) fakes. We’re going to examine the details as if they are real but treat everything below with a huge grain of salt. According to the GameStop listing, Warmind will see players teaming up with the Warmind Rasputin and Ana Bray to stop the rogue Warmind, Charlemagne....

Destiny Fan Creates Grimoire Cards You Can Print

Part of that might be because most of Destiny’s history requires fans to do a bit of digging into the game’s Grimoire cards to understand the sci-fi narrative’s beginnings. The Grimoire offers gamers a reason to care about things like the rumored Fallen raid in the upcoming fall expansion that might be called Destiny: Rise of Iron, but it can be a bit of a hassle to access. That’s why redditor and Destiny aficionado rustwoodstudios has created print-ready versions of every single Grimoire card currently available in-game....

Destiny Strategy Guide How To Reach Level 32

Alongside the new content and systems, Bungie has upped the level cap for Destiny from 30 to 32. But much like going from level 28 to level 30 in vanilla Destiny, hitting 32 is not going to be easy. In fact, getting to the new cap may require just as much, if not more, dedication as getting to level 30 did. As with level 30, the only way for Destiny players to hit level 32 is with some pieces of fully upgraded raid gear....

For the latter group, Destiny is likely beyond saving, but for the former there is still room to improve. Whether it be new features, more gameplay experiences, or just some basic weapon tweaks, Bungie has tried to ensure their community that they are dedicated to making Destiny better. Most of those improvements have come in the form of substantial updates, another of which is slated to launch very soon.

That doesn’t mean women will stop demanding mammograms or doctors will stop recommending them. “I don’t believe for a second that we should have people thinking that mammography is not a good thing for women to have in terms of screening,” says Dr. Dennis Slamon of UCLA, a developer of the new breast-cancer drug herceptin who believes that mammograms can help with early detection. It’s not hard to understand the reluctance to let go of the hope mammograms once offered....
