      I thought about quite a few Careers. Some reason my spelling has gotten worse and simply have problems trying to go back to school. I think my shortcomings would be too apparent. The one shot school rocket just would not apply here. It would be nice. My security career is a dead end job. So never borrow money when you might have to build on core skills and then try to pursue a career when that path is not a 100% shot to a Degree. I do not have the luxury of sitting around and changing so often. Waste of time and money. Younger people have more flexibility thus they can find whats right without it being too great of a strain. Unless you are working two jobs and are going to school. Anyways..Thanks for the Info OP.*Waits for Destiny*

      • News journalists miss details as well, though I do agree that the standards for gaming journalism are lower.

          There's really no need to be so sensitive. A Journalist's audience usually isn't the hyper hardcore crowd of Destiny fans who know that Destiny is this crazy new shared world shooter, afterall, those people already know what a Shrike is as they've likely already seen it somewhere else on the internet, probably here. No, they wrote that article for the average joe who goes to their website for news, and in trying to define Destiny's genre they could either go into a paragraph explanation about how Destiny is very MMO-like and is yet not an MMO, breaking the flow of their article, and they can repeat that explanation for every single article they ever write about Destiny so so that they don't semantically offend certain fans... Or they could just call it an MMO. Which, while it doesn't paint a perfect picture of what the game is like, gives people the gist of things. Hell, I'd call Destiny MMO-like in a heartbeat when trying to explain it to someone new (as I've done on several occasions). That's what journalism is about. Knowing your audience, and they know that if they throw around the term shared world shooter their audience isn't going to understand what that means.
