Today's Webtip: Genesis: The Birth of a Legend

A radio drama based on a video game and published on Youtube.

Destiny has been my game of choice for the last year. It has sucked me in like no other game since Marathon, which makes sense since a lot of us old Marathon players were convinced this game would be a continuation of that series.

And it might just be. But there is no way to tell yet since the story is a bit sparse, and people are still working their way through the lore and all of it's references.

That's something that has received a lot of criticism. The lack of story. But it's something I rather enjoy. Rather than feeling like everyone is playing the same character a million times over. (I'm looking at you Uncharted!) It feels like every Guardian out there has their own story to tell. And their own history to research. I mean, how many of us ever have our jobs, or the behind the scenes machinations of their country, ever laid out in fron of them in a nice easy narrative?

You have to piece it all together yourself. Just like this game.

So enough Bungie apologism. Let's get down to one Guardian' story. A story that was released just in time for Bungie day, and takes us into the mind of a vet from the end of the golden age. A guardian who was recently revived, just a little confused, and suffering from considerable PTSD.

The Prologue:

And the first episode:

The next episode is due out next week.
