On Destiny Friday led to some nice anecdotes. Xur’s special inventory brought a family a bit closer together.
There are some terrible stories about video games and their corrosive influence on the family. So it is nice to hear and tell a nice story.
A 68-year-old Destiny player longed for the Gjallarhorn, but just this weekend, when Xur was selling it, he was not home, had to work away. But: Why would you even have kids? The problem: His 25-year-old son Noel is a non-gamer.
But where there’s a will, there’s a way. The 68-year-old sent his son the message: “Noel, you have to do me a favor. There’s this game Destiny … and there’s this vendor Xur … and he’s selling an item.”
The son did as he was told, logged in the father’s Guardian while on the phone with his dad, searched and found Xur. The Destiny veteran can be proud of his son, now enjoying 3 of these rocket launchers.
By the way, the 68-year-old is not only an enthusiastic but also an extremely reliable Destiny player. Every evening after work, his son says, he comes home, plays Destiny until exactly midnight, then goes to bed.
