People all over the world are playing Destiny 2 right now. And when they're not playing, they're tweeting about it. Over the last dozen-or-so hours, Twitter has hosted a distinct narrative of players impatiently waiting for Destiny 2, then playing it furiously, then somewhat-to-not at all regretting their decision to forego sleep in favor of fighting a virtual space war. Also, a lot of them posted funny gifs. These are their stories.

Former GamesRadar+ News Writer

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
