Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the Destruction Pieces Podcast episode 158 and yes at last it is the long or weighted destiny special.

I've been hyping this one for ages so I've got a lot to tell you it's going to be a long episode.

I didn't want to split it into because it felt like it felt like because it's a load of different chats it needed to all be together and all there.

So I'm going to tell you a bit about it first. I should mention that we're brought to you by speech available at records.com.

That's my record label. It's where you can go and buy my merch. I've got some merch. As you all know I keep banging on about it.

I've got podcast merch. I've got albums. I've got DVDs. I've got all you need.

I've got a game actually on the website as scrimmierspip.co.uk. This is for the gamers. I've got a game called Bash the Beard that you can use the space bar to make my beard grow.

You use the mouse to balance me and you try not to knock me over as my beard grows. It's pretty cool. Anyway.

So when I started posting about this it's the destiny special. Where to start? Where to start? Let's go to the beginning.

I got hit up by Activision asking if I was a gamer. I was like, yeah, I'm a gamer. I don't get gamers as much as I used to but I've had consoles all my life.

I've had amigas and spectrums back in the day. They asked if I played a game called Destiny. I don't but I'm fascinated by it.

I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I don't know if it's a sack. I

I'm kind of it's a it's a world that interests me. And they asked if I wanted to do a podcast based around the launch of the new of Destiny 2. And I was like, Look, if you're going to have a load of people who can cover this game as experts, but if

If you're up for me coming in as a non expert, a fascinating non expert, then I'm up for it.

It sounds fascinating, so we all agreed to it. And then they were looking at what would be a good

point to kind of introduce me to it, and they decided on the gameplay premiere, which

incredibly lucky for me is in Los Angeles. So they agreed, Activision agreed to fly me out to LA,

and put me up in a hotel to cover this, to go to the big launch, to take it all in,

they were going to line me up to talk to a load of people, and give my kind of open and honest

views and experiences. So before I did that, I decided, right, I'm going to give

down the sack of cool, because he's someone I know who's clucked a lot of hours in it. So he agreed

to kind of bring me up to speed, over Skype. So that's what we're going to start with.
