The tale of an 81 year old guardian and his first Destiny 2 raid completion
Me and a group of trusted friends helped an 81 year old gentleman (FIBBOB) finish his first Destiny 2 raid. I don't ever do sherpa raids in D2, but I just had to for this fellow. It was an absolute delight helping him. We later did Eater of Worlds and helped Fib get his Legend of Acrius as well. We also plan on doing Spire of Stars very soon.
FIBBOB is a retired comedian, writer and poet. He also loves video games, especially Destiny. With his creativity and joyous spirit, FIBBOB felt compelled to write a short story, to commemorate his very first Destiny 2 raid completion.
You can read his story and learn more here:

Also, please feel free to share as well. Thank you :)

It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to announce that Fibby Bob Kinney has completed the Leviathan raid on PRESTIGE! Fib, you are a champ. You stepped up big time tonight. We are all so proud of you. Stand tall my friend. You have now proved and displayed what truly makes a guardian, a guardian. You are now among the exalted, highest echelon of heroes of the Light! Shout outs to my friends: caldante, Angelbabyluv, Dockronyk and Victor Ruiz (UNOSEKOJ). You guys are superstars! Congratulations and thank you everyone, especially you Fib! Also, Fib is currently working on epic new story inspired by tonight's raid. Stay tuned!

1 Replywhen I'm 81 I hope to be doing better things with my time than playing video games... like turning to dust or some shit like that...

I'm 74 and this gives me something to shoot for!

It’s stories like this that reminds me why I love this game so much, it’s not a great game, I’ll admit it, there are way better mmos out there, but seeing how the community can do such amazing things without even being asked to puts a smile on my face. Hopefully more guardians will do awesome things like this.

This has been at the top of a lot of trending stories lists I've seen lately. Very cool.

This is awesome!! I shared it with everyone that worked on the raids (including the VV team for SoS). Why we do what we do, thanks for being a good person!

81 years old and still kicks ass. My kind of guy!

Very cool story, even cooler someone that age is still getting it done. Hats off to you and the team taking the time. Now, I’m 47, I know it’s not 81, but I am aged also and could use a clear myself.

That's freakin' awesome. I'm 46, and I've been a gamer since they were invented. It gives me hope. I wondered how much gaming I had left before I became "too old".

This is pure awesomeness. A group like this and me help my dad through crota back in the day and it was amazing. My dad got the hungar of crota and he was so happy. He thought he won the lottery lol

I got huge respect for anyone that goes out of their way to help the senior citizens. Kudos to you my friend, I bet you made his day.

If everyone was just a little more kind like you, the world would be a better place.

Nice!

2 RepliesThis hit a little close to home for me.. My dad passed away last month at the age of 81, and he loved his games as well. Good for you helping that guardian with his first raid clear, and what a wonderful story he wrote.

Thats cool. Gg

3 RepliesCongrats to FIB and to you. I'm 56 and play almost every day since D1 on all 3 alts (fulltime job and a 9 year old kid).

It is great to hear stories like this. Congrats on the completion.
