‘The Taken King:’ Why It’s Time To Give ‘Destiny’ Another Shot

Posted on by

You’d be forgiven for giving up on Destiny around this time last year. Activision and Bungie shared world shooter hit us as one of the most hyped games in recent memory, both from a conceptual standpoint and the sheer number of marketing dollars. This, we were told, was going to change the way we played games on consoles. It was a whole new idea, a true shooter MMO, nothing short of a revolution. When it arrived, however, it was more than a little bit confusing. The story was nonexistent, the missions repetitive, the progression mechanics opaque and bizarre. The gunplay was second to none, but that can only take you so far. I dropped it about two weeks in and didn’t pick it up again until just before House of Wolves. I can’t imagine I was alone. Now that The Taken King is launching, however, I’d encourage you to give this strange game another shot. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

OnePlus teases “something luxurious”, might be a leather back cover

Posted on by

Sure, its phone launches may not be going very well, but OnePlus is now teasing something new. “Something luxurious”, to quote the Chinese startup’s official Google+ account. “Something luxurious is coming to OnePlus. What could it be?”

Well, going by looks alone, the teaser image which you can see below seems to imply that we’ll soon see a leather back cover for the OnePlus 2.

The company’s latest smartphone already has two different back cover materials available for it in the form of StyleSwap covers – which are sold on the OnePlus website. Currently these are made from wood (in three different variations) and kevlar. And now it looks like leather could be next.

This would follow in the footsteps of companies such as Motorola and LG, as they’ve already sold smartphones bearing that particular material on their backs – think Moto X and LG G4.

It’s still unclear when the new back cover will become available, but since the teasing has started it’s probably going to be soon.
