How to get the Ergo Sum Exotic sword in Destiny 2: The Final Shape

Swords inDestiny 2have always occupied a weird space in my head. It’s a futuristic looter shooter with a heavy emphasis on “shooter.” As such, melee weapons seem out of place. Don’t get me wrong, they’re super fun to play with, I just find them peculiar. Bungie seems to have sensed this and has furthered my feelings with Ergo Sum, an Exotic sword that is a Special weapon and can roll with random Exotic perks....

When I saw it atPAX East in 2014, it lookedDark Souls-esque in both combat style and its unforgiving nature. Despite writing a lengthy preview, I was uncertain as to what it really was.

Kingdom Hearts is near impossible to turn into a movie

Lately, there has been chatter ofKingdom Hearts, everyone’s favourite mash-up of Disney magic andFinal Fantasy-esque action, getting a movie adaptation. These rumours come courtesy of Disney fan siteThe DisInsiderandfilm industry insider DanielRPK, but I’m not here to discuss the validity of their claims. Rather, I want to talk about how if Disney really does want aKingdom Heartsmovie, it faces an incredibly steep uphill battle. I can imagine pitches for aKingdom Heartsmovie adaptation have floated within Disney for a while, especially in more recent years....
