Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    Destiny Beta Code Giveaway from Total Gaming Network - Contest Has Ended

    Apparently, when you get into the Destiny beta, Bungie gives you two spare codes to redeem.

If you would like one of these two codes, simply leave a reply below as to why you want it.
