Destiny 2’s Latest Quest Could Be The The Next Step To Changing Everything
There’s a new quest in Destiny 2‘s Season of the Worthy this week, and while it’s only slowly unfolding, it could be very important to the overall story the game has been building over the last year and a half. “The Lie” concerns Rasputin, the artificially intelligent Warmind at the center of this season’s tale. Given the backstory of Rasputin and some hints we’ve been seeing over the last few seasons, The Lie could have some major implications–and it could be the next step toward developing a new kind of conflict in the fourth year of Destiny 2.
Rasputin is a character who has existed since the start of the original Destiny, and yet one we know little about. During the Golden Age, the period of prosperity that started with the arrival of the Traveler in Destiny lore, Rasputin had control of defenses for the entire solar system. It is possibly the only character in Destiny who was present for the big apocalyptic event known as The Collapse. Rasputin’s connections with all those defenses were cut over the centuries that followed the Collapse; most of the Season of the Worthy has been centered around restoring Rasputin’s capabilities so it can shoot down a giant Cabal spaceship, the Almighty, before it crashes into the Last City and kills everybody.
Reconnecting Rasputin to its defenses has given the computer a whole bunch of power, something that a few Destiny characters have voiced concerns over. Since Rasputin was first rediscovered back in Destiny 1, Zavala has been concerned that the Warmind shouldn’t be trusted. After all, despite having an army of Guardians on its side, humanity is on its last legs in the Destiny universe. A rogue computer with a bunch of orbital weapons satellites is not an enemy that the Guardians’ leadership, the Vanguard, really wants to have to deal with. And while Rasputin’s mandate is to protect humanity, who knows how exactly it might decide to go about that–or whether his internal circuitry is in prime condition hundreds of years after his construction.
Apple TV+’s Show About A Game Developer Gets Its Own Quarantine Episode
If there’s one show that’s ever truly captured what it’s like to work in the video game industry, it’s Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet. If you’re a gamer or at all interested in the industry, Mythic Quest almost single-handedly makes subscribing to Apple TV+ worth it. And now the show is jumping on the COVID-19 bandwagon and getting its very own quarantine special, much like Parks and Rec and others before it.
Mythic Quest: Quarantine will stream on Apple TV+ beginning Friday, May 22. The special will follow the developers of the titular massive online video game as they contend with the new Work From Home world necessitated by the global pandemic. Given that MQ is an Apple TV+ exclusive, it’s not surprising to hear that this half-hour episode was shot entirely on iPhones. Check out the trailer below.
Mythic Quest stars It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, who also serves as executive producer and co-creator along with Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. It’s produced in part by Ubisoft Motion Pictures and Lionsgate Television. The cast also includes F. Murray Abraham, Charlotte Nicdao, Community’s Danny Pudi, Imani Hakim, Ashly Burch (known for her video game voice work), David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket on It’s Always Sunny), and others.

The Destroy All Humans Remake Has A Whopping $400 Collector’s Edition Up For Pre-Order
Another remake of a cult-classic game is about to make its way to modern consoles. Based on the 2005 action-adventure game, Destroy All Humans will release July 28 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia. The game is available to pre-order now with several editions and pre-order bonuses available, including an extremely pricey collector’s edition clearly aimed at longtime fans of the series.
Destroy All Humans is an open-world game set during the 1950s and parodies Cold War-era alien films. The game follows an alien named Crypto, who is part of a race known as the Furons who clone themselves to continue existing. The game opens with Crypto being sent to harvest human brain stems, which contain precious Furon DNA (due to a previous clash between Furon warriors and humans in ancient times) that’s crucial to preserving his species. Crypto is also searching for his predecessor, Sporidium 136, who crash-landed on Earth years prior; now, the humans have him as well as Furon technology. As Crypto, you’ll burn cities to the ground with your mighty Death Ray, use your Abducto Beam to toss around tanks, crush a farmer under his own cow using psychokinetic powers, and much more. Generally, you’re just causing chaos.
The original game earned a 7.5/10 in GameSpot’s Destroy All Humans review, which praised its embrace of cheesy sci-fi themes and awesome dialogue. “You take on the role of a comically murderous alien on a mission of domination and destruction against humanity. It isn’t all just blasters and explosions, however, as the game takes a decidedly tongue-in-cheek stance on the subject matter, modeling itself after the good-natured cheesiness of 1950s-era B-grade science fiction,” wrote Alex Navarro. “Flying saucers, death rays, mysterious G-men, government conspiracies, and lots of anal probing are the order of the day here. And while the gameplay doesn’t really do anything especially remarkable, and the adventure is unfortunately quite short, Destroy All Humans shows such enthusiasm for its thematic inspiration that you can’t help but at least appreciate what it tries to do.”

New Scooby-Doo Movie Skips Theaters, Here’s How To Watch It Right Now
Back in April, Warner Bros. announced the latest Scooby-Doo animated film–Scoob!–would be skipping theaters and headed straight to VOD, as theaters have been and will be closed for the foreseeable future thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, Scoob is available to rent on VOD.
This is the first feature-length animated Scooby-Doo movie made for a theatrical release, even though it’s now VOD. The film is an origin story of how Scooby and Shaggy met and became friends. The film will also explore how the duo joined Fred, Velma, and Daphne and formed Mystery Inc. The film stars Will Forte as Shaggy, Gina Rodriguez as Velma, Zac Efron as Fred, Amanda Seyfried as Daphne, Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo, and Mark Wahlberg as Blue Falcon.
The film is available to both rent and buy. Renting costs $20, and you have 30 days to start the movie, with a 48 hour watch window afterwards. Or you can buy the movie for $25 through the various retailers listed below.

Rainbow Six Siege Teases New Operators Ace And Melusi
The next operation for Rainbow Six Siege is coming, and Ubisoft has teased its two new operators ahead of the official announcement. Operation Steel Wave will get a full reveal on May 18 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, but Ubisoft has provided us with the first tease of the two new operators.
The teaser shows both of the operators–the defender, Melusi, explains her philosophy of how force is used by predators, and then the attacker, Ace, confidently boasts of his ability to find you no matter where you might be.
This follows another teaser, delivered via Morse Code, which said “SOS” (and also, apparently mistakenly, “IOS”). That’s the classic distress signal, which fits right in with Ubisoft’s recent bio page for the two characters. According to it, Ace is a paramedic who went to work search-and-rescue operations for the UN. Melusi is an anti-poaching operative with surveillance expertise.
