So the loot drops in Destiny are, to put it kindly, kind of hard to understand. When you reach level 20 and are forced to grind for objects with higher amounts of "light" in order to continue to advance in level this aspect of the game gets even more annoying.
The "Legendary Engram" parody twitter account does a better job of explaining the rage and frustration that comes from the game's loot better than anything else online so far.
An Engram, in case you haven't played, is a dropped object that must be decoded before you know what it is. It could be something great, or it could be worthless. It's usually the latter. Here are some of the best tweets from the account, in no particular order. Enjoy!
Why are you running a Strike looking for me? I'm currently offering myself to the fella who came dead last in Rumble.
I am art direction without humanity. I am plot without characters. I am exposition without interaction. I am a rare level 12 helmet.

I am twenty-five points of leveling for your Cryptarch. Not that anyone knows what that accomplishes.

Just to remind you to aspire for more, I dropped for the player at the bottom of the Clash leaderboard. Jokes on him. I am uncommon gloves.

Did you hear? Much like that Crucible playlist you actually like, I am available only on the weekends. Might as well stop looking.

I am rarer than a cutscene and more elusive than NPCs whose lips move when they talk. I am misspent potential. I am rare gloves.

I didn't drop during your raid, but your connection to the servers did.

"You just killed an Archon. This could cripple the Fallen." Or not. Definitely not. As consolation, take this uncommon shotgun.

The entire account is comedy gold, if you're a Destiny player with a good sense of humor and a whole lot of patience.
