Blog Herding: Community Edition 07/31/14

There were still some wonderful blogs, including a couple from those who played the beta and want to share their views on what we can expect from Bungie's first big game since that other little series they worked on.

Video Game Quote of the Week From Twitter:
"Someone once described video game forums as
the DMV of the Internet. Lots of angry, grumpy, miserable people. Can't argue
sometimes." @Stealth___
