Episode 62: Hoot Dawg Radio – Not Moving Anywhere, Anymore

In Episode 62, Hoot Dawg Radio is back online our heroes, ClearNite and the Ragin Cajun’ (Rob1103), catch up on gaming, television, game deals, and a variety of topics. ClearNite provides some background on the evolution of the Sea of Thieves over the last two years, with its upcoming 2nd anniversary, its evolving world in comparison to Destiny’s, and some great gaming communities. Rob continues the crucible grind and takes a step into Trials of Saint 14…  err.. Osiris, and goes exploring a whole new world, revisiting his time in No Man’s Sky.  

Destiny’s current game state is still the focus of the main discussion, as the new “Season of the Worthy”  begins we try to fill everyone’s “nicest guy” needs, as we welcome back one of our favorite Hoot Dawg members. JimDino, to discuss his current Destiny grind and experiences in Crucible, Trials, and more.  We’re glad to be back again and hope you enjoy, despite some crazy audio issues that plague a bit of this episode recording. (Apologies for some of those moments, mostly at the outset.)

Episode 61: Hoot Dawg Radio – That Mother Truckin’ Guardian and the Sea of Thieves

In Episode 61, Hoot Dawg Radio is back for 2020 with ClearNite and the Ragin Cajun’ (Rob1103) as they catch up on gaming, television, game deals, and a variety of topics including Destiny’s current state, and the upcoming roadmap, as a “State of the Game” discussion airing many hopes, desires, and speculation for crucible PvP, comp mode, and (the inevitable) return of Trials in the near future.  As part of the discussion, they welcome a most-special guest from the Hoot Dawg Gaming Clan. JimDino . Additionally, ClearNite explains out his recent obsession with American Trucker Simulation (ATS) and his addicted return to the Sea of Thieves while Rob describes Forza’s recent changes including the “Battle Royale” style mode. 

It’s a time for reflection, wonder, and endurance (i.e hashing out ClearNite’s recent adventures trucking across the Virtual West Coast and hauling … booty around the Sea of Thieves) .

Episode 60: Hoot Dawg Radio – PoopShizzle is da shiznit

In Episode 60, Hoot Dawg Radio is “buzzing” with activity as ClearNite hosts a 1v1 with a “most patient” Sherpa and friend of the clan, PoopShizzle. We talk about his [gaming] origin story along with varied discussion topics that range from a very “Vexing” Final Assault, Shizzle’s “fresh” cooking and gaming streams, some Epic deals, the dreaded Steam sales, music appreciation, recent games beyond just Destiny, plus ClearNite’s experiences with the Google Stadia launch. Finally, we evaluate the current season and anticipate the changes coming as the Season of the Undying is sunsetting in favor of a new solar “Dawn” ahead.

Episode 59: Hoot Dawg Radio – Adavari won’t be Lost (again)

In Episode 59, Hoot Dawg Radio welcomes back our clanmate Adavari (aka the Guardian formerly known as Elemental Pro and the “wee one“). In an unfortunate turn of events, ClearNite finds himself outgunned by these “mostly salt-free” Destiny hunters as the talk surrounds Festival of the Lost 2019, Crucible, power gains, dungeon delving, weapon rolls, class builds, and even a little haunted forest exploration.

It may be his second (*cough third*) appearance, but Adavari last joined the show right before the Warmind DLC; needless to say, much has changed including: his name, primary platform, and much more (like Destiny Year 2 and this start of Year 3) .

Finally, we squeeze some early impressions of the upcoming Witcher Netflix Series (Trailer), BlizzCon2019 (Diablo4 and Overwatch2 non-announcements), and more!

Episode 58: Hoot Dawg Radio – Who Ya Gonna Call? It’sWenzel !

In episode 58, Hoot Dawg Radio returns from an extended break with ClearNite and “The Ragin’ Cajun” (Rob1103). Everyone has recovered from the initial Shadow Keep launch, as well as individual miscellaneous ailments, and are rip, roaring, and ready to talk Destiny’s return to the moon. The moon’s haunted and so are the Nightmares as we reconvene for our initial thoughts and impressions for Shadow Keep and our “Undying” affection for returning guest and Hoot Dawg clan member, ItsWenzel, who teamed up with Team Onyx for a Day 1 Garden of Salvation Raid, earning the 24hour emblem. We hear the tale as well as recommendations for the new season and what weapons are emerging as the stellar standouts.

Come join us and jump right on in, the Vex milk is feelin’ fine and “Steamy”.

Rob’s final recluse push for “HootDawg Heather” enlisted the assistance of Destiny Twitch streamer, LuCKyy, who sealed the deal and delivered a special anniversary present to our clan’s cajun couple. Finally, ClearNite entices Rob1103 BEYOND the Steam sales and into his own NO MAN’S SKY obsession.

Episode 53: Hoot Dawg Radio – A RAY of “New Light”

It’s episode 53 and we find ourselves in a “slow” news week in the world of Destiny gaming.  Just kidding, between the new Season of Opulence, a new 6 player coop activity (the Menagerie), and the Destiny Reveal Event today we have more discussion than ever as Bungie blew our doors off, giving us a ton to talk about.  No Raid spoilers in this show but plenty of Destiny Free to Play, Cross Save, and future September roadmap allows for great discussion between ClearNite, “The Ragin’ Cajun” (Rob1103), and special returning show guests and Hoot Dawg Clan members, JimDino and sRAYme.

So let’s dive into this week’s Hoot Dawg Radio.
