I mostly agree. Oh, and no one is Mike but Mike. (Destiny)

It was still impressive, but not really entertaining.

Not exactly Mike Miller material.

Yeah, but who is?

I could watch that type of gameplay all the time. Enough with the quadruple snipes no scope montages. I want more creative and cleaver gameplay videos of this ilk.

I just watched the legendary videos this last week and something struck me. Today, most montages and videos are cut to make the poster look as badass as possible. Mike Miller was badass, but he also showed his hand. The stuff he pulled off was amazing, but a good third of his videos actually showed all of the epic fails he went through to make his brilliantly-timed executions. I really appreciated that. In fact, it inspired me to be a more aggressive player and to try some of the things he did. I guess I just don't have as much patience for the self-aggrandizing style of today's videos*. It was a different era...

*I should be clear. It is fine to toot your own horn and I appreciate seeing people post their brilliant games here. That is a different beast than the 8 cuts of sniper kills that dominate the internet as of late.
