Welcome to Numbers Go Up! This new and improved version of your weekly Destiny podcast isn’t just about Destiny anymore. Instead, your hosts will cover a variety of loot-based games ranging from Warframe, to Monster Hunter, to Final Fantasy XIV, and beyond (including, of course, some weekly Destiny discussion for our longtime fans).If you’re looking for a nice, comforting game to play, we’ve got suggestions! If you want to keep up with the latest news, we’ve got that, too! Not to mention the crew still has that same ridiculous banter you probably know and love at this point. Plus we’ll be including more guests and regular hosts to cover our new spectrum of fun topics (with far less negativity). Get excited, because the Numbers Go Up!
The next big Warframe expansion, Heart of Deimos, has finally arrived. Steven and merritt discuss how gross everything on the new planet is, how dope the new mechs are, and how sometimes a rat is going to catch fire and there's just not a lot that anybody can do about it. This is the last episode of Numbers Go Up for awhile as we realign our podcasting priorities, so be sure to catch 99 Potions and Fanwidth for more ongoing discussion of live games! Thanks for listening!

Fireteam leader merritt k is joined by Fanbyte Podcast Producer Jordo and Very Special Guest™ Paul Tassi of Forbes to discuss the implications of this week's Destiny Content Vault announcements, as well as our conspiracy theories about the world of Light and Darkness.

Numbers Go Up 13: Solstice of Delisting
Our beloved fireteam leader merritt k is out this week, so Steven and Collin welcome Destiny YouTube personality xHOUNDISHx for a robust discussion of this year's Solstice of Heroes event, the last few seasons of content, and the future of Destiny 2. We also discuss the buck-wild news of the day, wherein Epic sues Apple for delisting Fortnite.

Numbers Go Up 12: Weird Little Naked Rope Man
Steven and merritt are joined by Polygon's Cass Marshall to talk about everything Warframe, the anachronistic pleasure of owning a Master Chief boat in Sea of Thieves, and a pitch for The Heroes of Bebe Neuwirth.

Numbers Go Up 11: We're All Happy for Titans
Collin's lost in the Infinite Forest again, so instead Podcast Producer Jordan joins Steven and merritt to talk about Jesus, the Sega Master System, Capcom's refusal to make Street Fighter 3, what you can and cannot say in Destiny 2, and the rest of this week's live game ha**enings.

Numbers Go Up 10: Admiring Jordan's Wife
Collin, merritt and Steven are back with a fresh batch of engrams to decode, full of Destiny 2: Beyond Light details and the news of the week, including thoughts on several live game announcements from Microsoft's Xbox Series X Showcase. Also, Collin gets a message spray-painted on his garage door regarding my wife, which he'll discover later.

Numbers Go Up 9: The Tragic Tale of Boomhauer Gatorade
merritt, Collin and Steven are back and everyone is drowning in beaver (errors). After a quick lightning round of news covering DOTA 2, Borderlands 3, Apex Legends, FFXIV, Sea of Thieves, and No Man's Sky, our hosts discuss Destiny 2: Beyond Light's delay until November, as well as the (surprisingly positive!) state of the game as is. Well, positive except for all the beavers.

Numbers Go Up 8: Escaton Judgement
Steven and Collin are back sans our usual host merritt k, whose internet was unfortunately sick this week. Instead they are accompanied by a fact checker that lives inside a computer, which isn't entirely dissimilar to the classic PBS program Ghostwriter, though the computer ghost on that show never had to rate the horniness level of anything, as far as I'm aware. Monster Hunter World's fourth title update has finally arrived and Steven's got all the details, while Collin has the lowdown on Destiny 2's ongoing war against the Goth Doritos from Outer Space. Plus, everything else!

Numbers Go Up 7: Mario's Bones
Collin's mad about a sword, Steven unearths an ancient Artifact (2.0), and merritt laments her Destiny 2 fashion competition KDA. We also learn everything there is to know about Fallout 76's unfortunate new battle pass, as well as some truly upsetting information about Mario's bones. Yes, that Mario.

Numbers Go Up 6: All About That Haunted Energy
This week is light on big news, so we dig a little deeper outside our usual wheelhouse. Farming in Path of Exile, the Old West in Borderlands, and colors in Diablo 4 all get some love (and hate). What is it that makes a good, fun loot game? That's the question we ask ourselves on Numbers Go Up Episode 6. Tune in and find out what we think!

Numbers Go Up 5: Modifying the Situation
We're back to basics on this week's episode of Numbers Go Up, the Fanbyte live game podcast! Guest Niki Grayson joins your usual gang to talk about farming Umbral Engrams in Destiny 2 (a process which has sadly been blown away by Bungie by the time you hear this). Sitting and idling in the Black Armory isn't fun, but it does highlight one chief issue with the power grind in Destiny 2. At the same time, we consider how other games handle this curve and make encounters interesting. Enjoy!
