Joystiq Streams: A beginner's guide to Destiny

So you've woken up thousands of years in the future and the Earth is a wasteland, covered with wizards, purple balls and crab tanks. Some giant benevolent space ball is trying to help the last of humanity out, but it's not going great. A little floating robot wants you to help but, boy, is he pushy! Slow down, take a deep breath, and let's consider your options before you fly off into the realm of fire teams and flinging yourself around the moon.

Today at 4PM EST on Joystiq.com/Twitch, we're doing a methodical walkthrough of the first moments in Bungie's Destiny, taking a look at each character class in turn, the different customization options available at the outset, and an exploration of the Tower itself, showing you where to pick up quest info and where to buy or unlock new kit.

That's Joystiq.com/Twitch at 4PM EST, just like we do round here every Tuesday and Thursday.

Also, did you know we're giving away free copies of Destiny? Want a free copy of Destiny for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, or Xbox 360? Joystiq's just giving 'em away right here.
