Jesus is Magic is a comedy film starring Sarah Silverman. The film is a combination of stand-up comedy and musical performances. Released in 2005, it interweaves Silverman's irreverent humor with songs, sketches, and personal anecdotes. The film opens with a stand-up routine by Silverman, showcasing her edgy and controversial style. She fearlessly tackles sensitive topics like race, religion, and political correctness, pushing the boundaries of comedy. Her jokes often challenge societal norms and taboos, making for an unconventional and unpredictable viewing experience.
The entire Tangled Shores patrol zone alongside two of the three strikes that resided there are now gone. Whilst Bungie have given their reasons that could very well be valid, it’s still had to think that we’ve not been cheated out of all this. Now the two strikes that do mention Cayde are going to be even more confusing. As a whole the content vault does nothing but destroys the new game experience for new and returning players who missed a lot of the older content and will have to resort to outside sources to understand what’s happening. Raids are still gone, entire patrol zones, strikes, dungeons and exotic quests. Destiny 2 is missing a lot.
We ended up getting an amazing and rather beefy campaign that shows Bungie at their very best, but there s still a long way to go with everything else in the game. Season of the Lost will also include a reworked Trials of Osiris mode that looks like it will encourage players of all skill levels to participate in the pinnacle player-vs-player experience.
Her jokes often challenge societal norms and taboos, making for an unconventional and unpredictable viewing experience. In addition to the stand-up routines, Jesus is Magic incorporates comedic sketches that parody various aspects of American life. Silverman takes on different personas and characters, adding a unique flavor to the film.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen offers the game’s biggest expansion in years on February 22nd
Bungie has officially taken the wraps off of the next major expansion for Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, which will continue the story of the sci-fi space series and see players finally face off against Savathûn, the titular Witch Queen.
Savathûn (the sister of Oryx, the main villain in the original game’s Taken King expansion) is a foe that’s been teased for over seven years, with her machinations behind many of Destiny’s previous major events (including the corruption of the Dreaming City). The addition of the Witch Queen marks the first time that players will be able to face off against her in person, though. And, as the trailer has revealed, she won’t be alone: Savathûn has managed to harness the player’s own powers of Light to empower Hive Guardians with similar abilities.
The expansion will also feature a new location, Savathûn’s Throne World, along with a new campaign, weapons, armor, and of course, one of Destiny’s hallmark raids. Additionally, Bungie is adding a new weapon type: the Glaive, a first-person melee weapon with both ranged and up-close combat types.
Also, The Witch Queen will bring a major new addition to Destiny 2: customizable weapons, which players will be able to modify with unique abilities, mods, and stats that are built to their own personal specifications. That system will start with the newly added weapons in The Witch Queen, but Bungie plans to expand it to other weapons over time.
To tide players over while they wait for The Witch Queen, Destiny 2’s upcoming season 15 content, titled Season of the Lost, will focus on the long-missing character Mara Sov (queen of the Awoken faction). It will set the stage, plot-wise, for The Witch Queen’s bigger changes when it arrives in 2022. Season of the Lost will last for the full six months between now and The Witch Queen, making it an unusually long season for Destiny players.
Season of the Lost will also include a reworked Trials of Osiris mode that looks like it will encourage players of all skill levels to participate in the pinnacle player-vs-player experience. The reworked Trials of Osiris mode will also see the soft launch of Bungie’s new anti-cheat software when it arrives on September 10th.

Bungie is also launching crossplay today as part of the Season of the Lost, allowing Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Stadia players to finally play together for the first time in Destiny history.
As the company had previously announced, The Witch Queen will be followed by another major expansion, called Lightfall. But Bungie also revealed the next expansion, Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which the company describes as the “dramatic conclusion” to The Light and Darkness Saga that players have been experiencing for the last decade.
This fall also marks Bungie’s 30th anniversary, and the studio is bringing both free and paid content to Destiny 2 to celebrate — and to help keep players busy while they wait for The Witch Queen next year.
All players will be able to enjoy a new six-person event, Dares of Eternity, later this year. But the main event is a purchasable Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, which will feature a variety of cosmetics inspired by Myth and Marathon and a new exotic weapon. The pack also comes with a new “treasure-themed” dungeon set on the Cosmodrome’s “Loot Cave” that will reward armor inspired by the popular Thorn weapon, and old classics like Eyasluna and Thousand-Yard Stare.
So despite my rantings about the state of Destiny for long time fans, was Witch Queen worth it? Very much so. The beefy and epic campaign provided some of the best content we have seen from Bungie since Halo: Reach, with multiple huge missions, a compelling story that has some pay-offs and massive implications going forward and that same core gameplay experience that we know and love.

Reviews for "The Boundary-Pushing Comedy of Sarah Silverman's Jesus is Magic"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I found "Jesus is Magic" to be highly offensive and lacking in any genuine humor. Sarah Silverman's attempts to shock and provoke are simply crass and tasteless. The jokes felt forced and relied heavily on shock value rather than wit or cleverness. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this comedy special and would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Mary - 2/5 stars - I understand that comedy can be edgy and push boundaries, but "Jesus is Magic" went too far for my taste.

There were very few genuinely funny moments, and even those were overshadowed by the constant barrage of vulgar and controversial content. I found it difficult to appreciate her comedy style, and it left me feeling uncomfortable and unsatisfied.

The constant focus on shock value overshadowed any potential for genuine humor.
