The natives are getting restless (Destiny)

Feeling old today. I'm cold. My joints are achey. So forgive my crotchety manner. Forgive me if I'm saying what I've already said on other occasions.

I've been a passionate fan of many creators--writers, musicians, filmmakers, and Bungie.

Many of those in the currently active category have already disappointed me. Release days come--that writer whose books I've always loved finally writes a dud. That band, that director, that actor--it's the same for almost all.

Bungie has a near perfect record with me. Halo 2 did let me down, slightly, but time and nostalgia have made that seem a minor misstep during a long journey.

I love this anticipatory time. Market demands and fans' curiosity aside, I wouldn't personally care if Bungie didn't show me anything else before launch day. I want the game to be successful, and I want them to do what is necessary to sell it, but they don't need to sell me.

The closer we get, the less I want to see, really. Geoff Keighley can suck it. I'm playing the game, and I'm savoring the anticipation of playing it. I'm not without fear that it will be a dud and I won't like it, but I'm enjoying the sensation of feeling very little of that fear. Maybe I'm foolish, but it's one more thing to be happy about--this trust I have in Bungie. It's not as common as it used to be.

Also, like Claude said, there's the beta! THE BETA! Won't every mode be included? We've never gotten such a taste without spending a dime.

I can understand the impatience. I don't have it. Time is galloping. Soon enough I will have finished the game. I anticipate being happy then. It feels good.
