Nolan North is replacing Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage as the voice of your Ghost in Destiny.

At least he won't be as crap crap crap
With such memorable lines as "who's she talking to?" and "where's his Ghost?" all delivered in the most monotone way imaginable, Destiny's Ghost companion, voiced by Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, somehow didn't make a good enough impression to feature in the shooter's upcoming expansion, The Taken King...

Weirdness Nuke the Fridge with Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Juggernog Edition
Cold case
Another year, another ludicrously expensive special edition for a Call of Duty game. However, 2015's entry is slightly more interesting, as, alongside the usual tat, it will come packed with a working Call of Duty: Black Ops III themed mini-fridge.

News Black Ops III Will Apparently Feature the Most Complex Narrative of Any Call of Duty
It's even got an in-game wiki
We know what you're thinking: a new Call of Duty, a new reason for the related studio to brag about how much better than the previous titles it'll be.
