The time has come, once more, for us to show you just what we’ve been up to over on YouTube! Each week our YouTube Channel features First Looks, Spotlights, and Walkthroughs for some of the most popular games of the moment. This week we keep our focus on Destiny, as well as highlight a new Spotlight for Heroes of the Storm, and give you a First Look at the Gauntlet reboot.


Destiny continues to be a colossal time sink for thousands upon thousands of players, and the desire to know more about Bungie’s latest effort is strong. Who are we to argue? We’ve given you three new videos highlighting important aspects of the game that, we think, will help you become legend.

…see what I did there?


Hunters are known for their stealth, working from the shadows and silently striking at their enemies. As you level, you’ll have the opportunity to follow the path of the Bladedancer, or take up arms as a Gunslinger. There is a lot to take into account when deciding if you want to master the Hunter class, and we took a few minutes to give you the rundown on all of the essentials.


In Destiny, Engrams are weapons and armor that you have to decode before you can use. In order to become a truly fearsome presence in the world, you’ll need to know how to properly farm them. Luckily, we give you the lowdown on what you can do to grab as many Engrams as you can carry.


While on the subject of farming, we also know that you want some of that sweet, sweet glimmer. We show you how you can bring in over 40,000 glimmer per hour by spending some quality time with the wizards on the moon.

While our video guys wanted to spend their whole day playing Destiny, we were able to peel them away long enough to put some time in elsewhere. Another popular game amongst the Gamepedia audience is Heroes of the Storm, the team-based hero brawler from Blizzard. As the game rolls along towards its eventual release, we shine the spotlight on one of the game’s most popular and versatile heroes.


An elite Assassin from the Starcraft universe, Nova is a particularly dangerous Hero who is able to turn the tide of just about any fight late in a game. She has a number of abilities which can extend her range, and her Holo Decoy can become a very real frustration for enemies. I’d go into more detail, but then you’d have no reason to watch the video – which you should do.


Finally, we wanted to highlight the glorious return of the legendary Gauntlet franchise with the new Gauntlet on PC. What a better way to do that than to give you a First Look video showcasing what makes this so much more than a simple remake?


With classes that have been tweaked and evolved, as well as new item and ability mechanics, Gauntlet offers modern day depth for an arcade classic. It’s become popular among the Gamepedia crew, so we’re confident in saying that if you’re looking for an arcade-style multiplayer experience, you’ll dig it.

Well, that’s all for this week! As always, you can check out what we’ve been working on by subscribing to our YouTube Channel. You can also let us know what you think of our videos by stopping by our Forums and chiming in. We always welcome new conversation.
