Welcome to Error Code Blueberry, a podcast about the video game series Destiny. We, your hosts and new best friends chillybin and Meckii, invite you to share our enjoyment of these games, hear about the events and story of the series, and get all of this in a fun and approachable format.

The end of an Episode, the end of an era?
#100
09/15/2024

Last time on Error Code Blueberry, we were addressing the latest round of layoffs at Bungie. Between still feeling pretty bummed about that situation and our respective lives getting a bit busy, we've been feeling less pull towards Destiny and by extension, making this show. We've always talked about putting yourself and your wellbeing before Destiny (or any game for that matter), so we'd be hypocrites if we didn't take our own advice. All that is to say that this episode will be our last for some time. We go into detail in the episode, but this is essentially...


Episode 99: Hundreds of people have lost their jobs. This truly sucks.
#99
08/11/2024

You already know what it is.

Last week, the news of more layoffs at Bungie landed on the day we would typically record this show. There was no world in which we would feel comfortable trying to say anything publicly until more information had come to light about the situation. A week later, we've learned more about the layoffs and had a disappointment statement from Bungie CEO Pete Parsons. We're coming in hot in this one gang - there's just not a lot to be positive about with this news.

Episode 98: Putting a frog in Destiny will be the death of us all
#98
07/28/2024

Like any good three-act structure, we're in the middle of things now, at the point where all the emotions and heartstrings get pulled on. Saint and Osiris are still going through it. Failsafe is cooking up all sorts of schemes. And now we get a cool new frog friend? It's a bit of a rollercoaster over here, so come and find out how we're enjoying the ride.

Episode 97: Bungie really do be listening with these updates
#97
07/14/2024

Here, right before the second act of Echoes drops on us, we've got a whole slate of previews straight from Bungie themselves. A new developer livestream during the week brought us juicy details about the upcoming content, changes to story delivery in Episode: Revenant, and a look at some armour concepts coming with Solstice very soon.

Episode 96: wake up babe, new Destiny Proper Noun just dropped
#96
07/07/2024

We're playing a little catch-up this week with the final week of Act I of Echoes, in which we got an ominous new name drop with The Conductor. Who or what is that? What are they doing with the Vex on Nessus? What's their whole deal? We've got some thoughts about that, as well as what's going on generally with the Vex lately, in this episode of Error Code Blueberry!

Episode 95: Failsafe is in need of assistance, Guardian
#95
06/23/2024

We're back into the regular rhythm of weekly story updates now, with week 2 of Act I of Echoes bringing a heap more Failsafe into our lives. We're not really sure what the Vex are up to yet, but we're having a blast hanging out with this unhinged AI in the meantime. We also tried our hands at the Dual Destiny exotic mission and confirmed that, yes, Gambit is back baby!

#94
06/16/2024

And now, we behold the true ending of the Light and Darkness Saga of Destiny 2. 10 years of story have finally reached an ending and it is one that hit us like a truck. Find out how we're feeling after all of that and what we now know about what's to come in this episode!

Episode 93: It's Time To Cry About Destiny
#93
06/09/2024

We're here, at the end of it all. Or rather, just about at the end of it all. We've played through the campaign of The Final Shape, dabbled in some post-campaign business, and we're here to give you a lot of thoughts about it - aka this is a long episode.

Episode 92: The Final Episode (before The Final Shape)
#92
06/02/2024

Here it is. The last episode of Error Code Blueberry before we FINALLY reach The Final Shape. There's a spicy little launch trailer for us to dissect this week and we've got more of our emotions to try and parse and grapple with as we count down the days until the end.

Episode 91: Damn, These Updates Got Hands
#91
05/26/2024

If you somehow weren't aware that The Final Shape is almost upon us, the utter barrage of updates out of Bungie regarding what's coming this week should signal its imminent arrival. We've got the usual TWID dropping in with some interesting quest system changes, plus a couple of more crunchy abilities and exotic armour tuning updates, but most importantly: we have TWO ViDocs to show us more of what's coming with The Final Shape in detail. This episode is a doozy!

Episode 90: Something Old, Something New
#90
05/19/2024

Here we are in May.
The Final Shape approaches.
Give me some cool stuff?

We've got a mix of updates to discuss this week, what with new exotic chest armour previews dropping during the week, as well as our old friend Khvostov having a wild glow up. Yes, THAT Khvostov.

Episode 89: Let's Bully Some Hunters
#89
05/12/2024

It's storied ECB lore at this point that we like to dunk on Hunters, none more so than Cayde-6 himself. With the impending reintroduction of Cayde to the world of Destiny, we've had a lot more reason to throw a bit of friendly bullying their way. This episode, we're spending a bit of time truly unpacking that situation, thanks to a great question from a viewer on a recent episode. Find out if we actually mean any of it within this episode!

Episode 88: Superblack And Other Spicy Drops
#88
05/05/2024

We are truly in an era of Destiny 2 where old things are new again. In the same week that players can once again attain the Superblack shader, we got some surprising updates regarding legacy gear that a lot of people put in the bin. I won't spoil the details for you in this description box, so check out the episode to hear more about all that, as well as more reports on our adventures in Onslaught.

#86
04/14/2024

Into The Light is here Guardians, and we are... into it! There's a bunch of new shiny toys to chase after, there's a fun new game to play with friends, and it's all very exciting.

Episode 85: Okay, Great
#85
03/30/2024

Alright, we legitimately tried to record in person last week, but we were too tired and full of tacos, so we're back this week to recap the first 2 out of 3 planned Bungie livestreams detailing what's coming soon with Into The Light! We also have stories about hanging out in person. This Into The Light thing seems like it might be good?

Episode 84: Hullabalooza
#84
03/16/2024

Another week of Guardian Games down, another week of hoarding Hullabaloos and me struggling to type Hullabaloo correctly the first time. We're reminded this week that "Into The Light" is what's coming soon to fill the months of April and May, in the lead up to The Final Shape's release in early June, and we've got what little information is available about it to share with you. Bullying each other for builds continues this week (and shows no signs of stopping).

Episode 83: Back From The Wilderness
#83
03/09/2024

After a couple of weeks away exploring some mountains and lakes of Aotearoa New Zealand, chillybin has returned to catch up on what he's missed in the world of Destiny, and there might actually be things to get caught up on? We've got the latest iteration of Guardian Games upon us this week, we've got ALL NEW VEHICLE TYPE in the Skimmer (read: hoverboard), and we've got...uh kind of not a lot else. Never fear though Guardian, we continue to find the fun in talking about old buildcrafting habits and things we used to get up to.

Episode 82: What Are We Wishing For?
#82
02/17/2024

We've reached the halfway point with Riven's Wishes and we're nearing the end for Moments of Triumph. We've done...some of it? Most of it? Your mileage may vary, especially if you're trying to get specific Altars of Summoning runs together for one triumph like Meckii. Tune in and hear all about that this week, as well as more general ramblings about our raiding days of yore.

Episode 81: The Final Shape of Joe Blackburn
#81
02/03/2024

We're well and truly into the first parts of what will fill our time before The Final Shape eventually launches and we've actually done some of it! Mostly Moments of Triumph, but some progress has been made towards granting Riven's Wishes (or are we making the wishes? I'm not sure). We also reminisced a lot about our time with Joe Blackburn at the helm of the franchise and how the game and his presence helped us get through lockdowns and loneliness together. Bless that man.

Episode 80: Something Strange Growing In Your (Black) Garden
#80
01/27/2024

Oh my god, that's the Ishtar Collective's music! The strange organisation that only shows up in mysterious ways has once again shown up in a mysterious way, and we're still scratching our heads about what's going on there. Speaking of scratching our heads: we now know a little more about what we're going to fill the time with until The Final Shape comes out. We've got Wishes to make and (Moments of) Triumphs to get, and then... who knows what? Let's find out together, shall we?

Episode 79: Eggs For Breakfast
#79
01/13/2024

Ok, look, it's been a bit of a time for us. Between holidays and some more personal stuff popping up in recent weeks, we've missed a couple. But in typical "us" fashion, we're back to blast through all the story beats we need to catch up on. There's also some thoughts about the Starcrossed exotic mission and its Legend version, as well as some thoughts on the relationship between siblings-that-seem-a-little-too-close Mara and Uldren/Crow.

12/23/2023

Hey there friends, it's been a minute! We're back after some illnesses and things taking us out of recording action and just in time too, seeing as there's been some juicy lore drops in the meantime. There's also a new exotic mission and weapon to go with it. What an abundance of gifts just in time for the holidays.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday period and we'll see you back here next year!

Episode 76: I Wish I Was A Witch
#76
11/25/2023

Here we are at the end of Season of the Witch. It's been spooky, it's been magical, it's had a deck of cards, and it's been a blast. We do a little look back at the season that was, a look forward to the season that will be, and a quick assessment of some build-breaking sandbox updates. Let's make a wish!

Episode 75: The One After The Dust Settles
#75
11/11/2023

Obviously, we're gonna talk about the layoffs at Bungie in this one. We took a break last week to give the news time to develop, as it all came out pretty close to when we usually record this show. We've got some thoughts, mostly on how people are reacting to the information and what we should be focusing on, so tune in for that. Then we return to our usual brand of Destiny enjoyment: having a good time in seasonal events and geeking out on story beats and hot lore drops.

Episode 74: It's Been One Month
#74
10/28/2023

So our "week or two off for PAX" turned into about a month due to some other life things and illness popping in up as well, but here we are again to talk about the ending of the Season of the Witch, Festival of the Lost, some very tasty-looking updates coming down the pipe for next season, and a story about our first ever fan interaction. Everything's coming up Blueberry!

Episode 73: Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Imbaru!
#73
09/24/2023

It's not a Subaru, nor is it Immaru - this week we discovered The Imbaru Engine and more of Savathun's trickery. We're here to question a lot of what we found out, how much of it is real, and how it ties back to lore items from 5 years ago. I love lore.

09/17/2023

Hello there! Season of the Witch is in full swing now, with Spires and tithes and decks of cards everywhere. We've got a few progress updates on various things we're working through this season, and a hot report out of our first run through the new Crota's End reprised raid. Please enjoy this entertaining offering.

Episode 71: There's A New Witch In Town
#71
08/27/2023

Welcome back to you (and to us) to Error Code Blueberry! We unexpectedly needed a few weeks off, between one of us moving house and various other life things going on for both of us, but we are BACK this week with not one, but TWO videos. Earlier in the week, we put up a reaction video for the Destiny 2 Final Shape Showcase, which you can find on the channel as well, and then there's this one. We're here to talk a bit about the showcase now that we've had a couple of days to process it, as well...


Episode 70: Put This Fire With the Other Fire
#70
07/30/2023

The excitement of getting to the funny number episode last time got to us so we needed a couple of weeks to recover (not really we just got sick and/or busy, don't @ me)

It's Solstice season once again in Destiny 2 and we're here to talk about bonfires and how to light them. We've got hot tips on which weapons to hoard this holiday season, a bunch of ghost stories from Neptune's past to tell around the fire, and probably at least 50% other nonsense.

Episode 69: We Finally Made It
#69
07/09/2023

Here we are: it's time for the sex number episode. It's truly a momentous occasion for everyone involved. Shoutout to fine diners everywhere.

This week, we have the end of this season's story to wrap up (after missing it last week), as well as more tales from the fishing ponds. Speculation? Lore? Jokes about things very unrelated to Destiny? We've got all your favourite ECB stuff in this one gang, get in here!

#68
06/25/2023

Hey, we're back! One week off for travel turned into two, due to coming home sick. Never mind all that though as it gave us time to bank up some decently rich story beats to discuss for your entertainment on this episode. There are some big revelations happening, some pins on a corkboard starting to get connected with red string, and probably more fishing for some reason.

Episode 67: A Whole New Kettle Of Fish
#67
06/04/2023

Before the show, we were both like "yeah, there's not heaps to talk about this week", before laying down a runtime longer than an hour again somehow. While the seasonal story stuff this may have felt a little light on, we dove deep into the new dungeon and have plenty to talk about on that front. It's good! Tune in to find out how good we think it is!

#66
05/28/2023

We're in for it now, Guardians. Season of the Deep has arrived in Destiny 2, and with it is a whole lot of wet and spooky new things to discover. There's a giant whale-lookin' thing? We also catch up on the end of the last season and Guardian Games, a bunch of pretty damn exciting announcements out of Bungie, and some hard news is delivered in the most surprising of ways.

#65
05/21/2023

Wowee champs, it's all coming to a head now! We're in both the final week of the current Destiny season, as well as the final round of Guardian Games for this year! There's a few more boxes to check before we end this season with the titles we're currently chasing, which we talk about at the top, before moving through a whole range of stuff we're looking forward to in the upcoming season. Plus, we've got tips on how to be a better ally for those who need it IRL.

Video version available at https://youtu.be...


Episode 64: What's The Deal With All These Medals?
#64
05/14/2023

Oh my word, another week of Guardian Games and another episode of Error Code Blueberry to go with it! We've got some takes on Supremacy to discuss, some upcoming exotic armour changes to dive into (emphasis on some), and some early thoughts about the almost-here Season of the Deep. I could tell you there's some scuffed little jokes in here too, but you knew that already, right?

Fair warning: chillybin's dog was particularly annoying during recording, so there's some minor disruptions along the way. It won't affect your enjoyment of this here episode, there's just a few...


Episode 63: Just Don't Call It The Olympics
#63
05/07/2023

We've come back from an unplanned couple of weeks off and wouldn't you know it, Guardian Games is back for 2023! After catching up on what we can remember from the past couple of weeks, we dive into our initial impressions of this year's festivities, and make some plans for what we'd like to achieve before this Destiny season comes to an end.

Episode 62: Tony Stark, Iron Lad
#62
04/16/2023

I don't know about you friends, but things are a bit all over the place lately. As far as that extends to Destiny, we've been getting up to bits and pieces of everything to fill in the classic mid-season dip now that the story content is wrapped up for the time being. We've got a bit of an Iron Banner recap from last week, tales of our salty behaviour over the long weekend, some unexpected PVP activity, and a whole lot of weirdness in the back half of the episode. Enjoy this tasty treat!

Video version available...


Episode 61: Milk Snakes
#61
04/09/2023

We've hit a little bit of a quiet period when it comes to Destiny story at the moment, so you know what that means: we are fully on one for this episode. There's some talk about Lightfall feedback that mostly devolves into telling off chuds on the internet, then some talk about the fancy new Vex Stick, and a whole slew of silliness. Enjoy!
