On related news: Iron Banner will return next week. This is your chance to earn 2 Etheric Light per character.

Xur's offerings this week are lackluster, especially for Hunters. Probably can save your coins for future purchase.
If you plan to have a Titan in the near future, then Armamentarium is one of the best exotic and therefore worth considering. It has pretty bad stats roll though, so still advise to skip.

Pegasus Actual: good news for you specifically Every player (who purchased TTK) gets a boost consumable to bring you up to Taken King level - will be available in the tower (This is significant! If you have one character that is very under developed, you can use the boost on him and instantly bring him to the TTK level) You already have a hunter and warlock at the 30+ level. You can wait until after TTK to start your Titan, use this boost, and skip all Year 1 grinding.

Good to know, I guess I'll hold on to my extra Hunter to grind out some gear until then, not that I can play for another 10 days.

Time to hire someone to break into your house and log in for you. Or give credentials to a friend (a good workaround for those that folded their disc). Or if you have an XB1 and Windows 10, set up a VPN and RC it from your laptop/friends pc. Nothing is going too far.

I can't, won't be back to my Xbox until Monday. Well, that sucks. I won't sweat it though even if you can't do what Beav suggested above. 1) With Xur selling it, GHorn will show up again some time in the future; 2) The Taken KIng is going to introduce new exotics anyway that will dethrone the soon-to-be-nerfed-king GHorn. Since you will be busy playing BLOPS3 beta for 2 weeks on both PS4 and XONE, you would have only had 2 weeks at most to use the pre-nerfed GHorn anyway...

Time to hire someone to break into your house and log in for you. Or give credentials to a friend A what? Actually I do have a VPN up, I didn't have time to set up and test the win 10 streaming stuff, so if it required interverntion on my Xbox beyond what you needed for the older Xbox One Windows 8 app then it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. But, unfortunately about a week ago it appears my apartment had a power failure (or I got robbed, but my router clearly rebooted, so I'll go with power faillure), and I don't think any of the consoles power back on automatically. I do have some PS4 access but my character there is still underleveled, and I don't have enough free time around here to grind out that many strange coins. I can probably round up an Xbox 360... but I'm pretty sure there's no cross-buy for someone who bought the Xbox One digital version. I saw references to a Destiny demo... maybe that could work, but the link I followed to xbox.com was dead. I think I'm just screwed on this one, oh well.

For the XB1 VPN, as long as you can connect to the same network as the XB1, there shouldn't be any additional fiddling required even if it hasn't been connected before. Though you could always enlist your friendly neighborhood wittyscorpion to log onto his XB1 with your account. He seems like a trustworthy guy.

I gave it a look just in case, sure enough the the app doesn't see my Xboxes despite me being on my VPN. Not surprising considering my router hasn't assigned IP addresses to them since it rebooted. Pretty sure there is no win on that front.

So I said, ok, what the heck, let me boot up my long neglected PS4 character and see if I can get this Gjallarhorn on there at least. I figured, I would have the 9 coins from the email thing waiting for me. Nope. No coins. I guess you can only get them for one platform.. or.. who knows. Then I look at the weekly Strike thing that gives you coins... and it's locked behind the DLC. I wouldn't mind playing a little Destiny tonight and tomorrow night if I had a decent shot of coming up with the required coins, but given the situation I don't think bungie wants me to play their game.

No Destiny themed bundle this year... but... once more unto the breach for me. Playing is kind of like going to a cryptarch with a blue engram... just with better odds.

How rude. Taco Bell provides quality products at competitive prices. I won't have you slandering their good name in this thread, sir. Good day.

Well, I got a lot of entries in but this year I came up empty. Not gonna lie it killed a small part of me, but two people won this year with the free code on my advice, including one who claimed before he won that he'd give me the Uncharted Collection code, so I guess I'm not a total loser. Just a mostly loser.
See you in 2016 Taco Bell.
