I’ve always been a sucker for a good montage and that’s why I’m sharing this awesome one made by XeroPain. It has great clips, good editng, and most importantly it’s fun. Impressively enough, it looks like the whole montage was created using the PS4 sharing feature. [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi3m399BosY’] Featured image courtesy of Ztemde

New Destiny B-Roll Footage

A new video of predominantly B-Roll gameplay has surfaced on the NeoGaf forums; thanks to MoreConsole for re-uploading it to his channel. In it you will see a Fallen Archon Priest (On the Moon!), a Vex Gate Lord, and even a barrel rolling Pike. Enjoy.

How to find a Hive Ogre

Searching all of the nooks and crannies in the Destiny Alpha can be not only time consuming, but it can also lead you into some dangerous territory. Some players have managed to stumble upon a Hive Ogre who hides in the depths of caves. While this is a tutorial on how to find the Hive Ogre it is not a tutorial on how to kill them.
