Destiny 2 is a game that forges its own MMO path, and unlike many games from that gender that focus on remaking the same path that World of Warcraft paved for them, they are creating something brand new. And many of the players were aware of this, therefore there were many pre-orders of the game that would eventually set the players one step in front of the others and give them a head start in this amazing game.
If you are in the game a bit later the other guys might be ahead, but it doesn’t mean you should give up and things are hopeless. We are providing you with several essential tips that will make you catch all those that pre-ordered and started playing the game early. Check them out!
Finish the Story
Because of the weight and depth of the game, and many of the versatile things that you can do it like various PvP, patrols, strikes, PvE Raids and many other things, you might get lost in the beginning.
Because of this, many beginners are facing the same problem, and they are never finishing the stories all the way to the end, but the stories should be finished because the experience and the rewards at the end will give you a nice leap in experience and cool items.
Complete Bounties
The bounties in Destiny 2 are easy to obtain and even easier to pass without you even noticing them. If you are unfamiliar with what bounties are, they are the special missions like defeating x monsters with precision damage, or with a special weapon. Many of the new players are ignoring them, but they give more experience than the normal missions. Always consider taking them.
Get yourself a Mark Strategy
Marks are really important when it comes to playing the game on a professional level, and if you want to achieve faster what you are up for. Depending on your focus on the game, you can choose to focus on different kinds of marks. If you are interested in PvP matches, Crucible marks are your primal choice, while Vanguard marks should be your focus if PvE is the thing that triggers you.
There is always the possibility to go both ways at the same time, but the process would take you double time until you get Legendary gear when you can get two pieces instead of one.
But whatever your choice is, don’t just go like a headless chicken all around, but make a plan so that you can know which events to participate in.
Take a Rest
Destiny 2 is a great game, but no matter how hardcore you are in a game, a 10-15 minutes rest from the game will give you back the focus necessary to continue with a high tempo towards achieving your goal, and in the same time you have an awesome chance of winning a life-changing prize. Come and see for yourself.

He is credited as the founder of the gonzo journalism movement that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story. “The Doctor of Journalism,” as Hunter called himself, was also the author of such infamous books as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga, and The Rum Diaries.
His stories are filled with drug frenzy, use of powerful verbs and extraordinary descriptions, as well as the ability to tell the story like a journalist. However, he was a brilliant passionate and slightly wicked author from which you can learn a thing or two. Here are some writing tips from Hunter S. Thompson that could help you improve your writing.
Steal From Your Heroes
While he was working as a copy boy for the Time during his studies at Columbia University School of General Studies, he used an interesting practice. He would sneak off into a room with a typewriter and rewrite some of his favourite books. These included works like F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. By doing so, he wanted to understand and learn the flow of a great writer. You can improve your writing utilising this method. Read out loud as you are typing to hear the fluidity of remarkable storytelling.
This method can help you achieve the following:
- Refine your writing skills
- Exercise your grammar and punctuation knowledge
- Enrich your vocabulary
- Assist you in finding your own writing style

Use Powerful Verbs
Hunter S. Thompson was brilliant at showing his readers was he was seeing with the choice of the verbs. It was even reported by some readers that they had visions themselves just by reding Hunter’s descriptions of hallucinatory drug binges. They’d literally hop in their cars and leave for Vegas hoping to experience some of his descriptions.
Verbs are probably the most important words a writer will ever use. They are literally where the action lies. By using powerful verbs, you can paint a visual image of what’s happening in your writing. Thus, readers won’t just understand your writing, they’ll also feel it. Use unusual verbs, verbs that evoke emotion and reaction in readers. By using them, you’re not just painting a visual picture, you’re giving the readers a chance to step into the scene and have a glimpse into the world you’ve created.
Know Yourself
If you’re serious about writing, don’t make excuses and moan about how hard it is. Keep on writing and do it to the best of your abilities. Or in the words of Hunter S. Thompson:
“As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I’m not sure that I’m going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says ‘you are nothing’, I will be a writer.”

From the very first video game that was on the market to the video games that we have today, we can see a major difference in the graphics, the goals and targets of the game, the gameplay itself, but they are all made for the same purpose – entertainment.
In the pursuit of entertainment on the recently developed little screen called the Television, many people were working around it and trying go bring in the ultimate device and way that you can control what’s happening on the television. In these tries and pursuits, Nolan Bushnell is a name to remember, as he was one of the fathers to the modern video gaming that we are all enjoying today. This is how it all started.
Computer Space by Nutting Associates
Computer Space was one of the most remarkable video games that came out of the Nutting Associates company. Developed by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney will most definitely bring the Goosebumps on you skin.
The game was all about launching and controlling a rocket missile that fires towards the enemy ships, where you goal is to get more points than your opponent ships by firing straight in them, or in other words, you need to hit the opponents with your missiles for more points.
The game was an adopted and upgraded version from Spacewar, the first ever game to be featured on multiple computers but didn’t quite get where it wanted. This game from 1962 had the similar idea, but very wrong execution, but luckily for them, the idea was brought back and on track by the one and only Nolan Bushnell.
Nolan and The Pong
Shortly after the Computer Space, Nolan and the team that worked in Nutting Associates part ways, and Nolan creates Atari, a producing company which immediately hits the skies with their brand-new Pong game. The game was a huge success and it came out just one year after the Computer Space. In 1972, the once that were able to afford these first computers would experience something that wasn’t seen before and would lift their entertainment to a whole new level.
Nolan Bushnell is considered the father of modern video games, as he was the producer and the brain behind the first two video games with significant interpretation and feedback from the world.
To play the Ping game, you would need to move the cursor on one side of the screen where you need to bounce the ball with the moving square that is your racquet – similar to tennis or ping pong. The game speeds up as you progress and gets new obstacles and new levels with complications all around the screen. The goal is to place the ball behind your opponent’s back.
Controllers
Both of these games were played with the similar controller – a one grip joystick that looks like the car gear shifter with a button either on top of it or right next to it. It will be replaced by the mouse in near future, but we can still see these controllers being used in the gaming world today.
