Luckily I was able to get back here before the thread auto-locked, so it's all good.

• Y'know how you get to Carnegie Hall, don't ya? Practice. ;-)
  
• This is a great example of perfect teamwork-- we destroyed Malok in 20 seconds, and Omnigul almost instantly!!
  
• This is the group that helped me get the last challenge I needed for Touch of Malice and the Book of Triumph, where we celebrated in the pits of Golgoroth and dashed through the Transept. Think I'd forgotten, Sched!? XD
  
• And of course, there's the not-so-great moments. I have no idea how I barely managed to survive this, especially the surprise waiting for me on the other side.
  
• This fight with Sepiks had me very upset. Double teleports, instant shields, disappearing cannons...I was furious.
  
• But not as angry as THIS.

Come back soon for more!

• You can't ever beat the original, baby!
  
• I love moments like this so much, you can almost call it a fetish—when a Nightstalker lands a perfect Shadowshot that not only lands in the best most perfect place, but one that helps feed the supers of their teammates as well, and it's absolutely incredible and exciting!
  
• This is an example of a great strike. This is an example of a terrible strike.
  
• Here's some more Anti-Titan propaganda--your Invincibility shield doesn't help much if you don't pay attention, huh!?
  
• One of the few times a join-in-progress is actually a good thing. rofl!
  
• It's always important to wipe out your opposition; before a game or after.
  
• Using Mayhem to my advantage here, I get a nice Breaker with my Hammer of Sol.
  
• When Solar Burn is on, S.A.B.E.R. doesn't stand a chance!! 20 Second takedown!!
  
• Managing to surprise myself, I killed a full-health Ogre in a single sniper shot!
  
• Here is a decent Crucible Breaker that I had completely forgotten about--glad it's still on my hard drive!

Anybody remember the Taken Commanders and Zealots that we had to kill for bounties? Having to wait 5, 10, 20 minutes for them to eventually show up, with no notification other than a text line? And the outcome of the final battle depended almost entirely upon who was there at the time? Well, no one was there this time. And Bungie was obviously watching when I was attempting this. How else would they explain the Taken Zealot teleporting—not once, or twice...but six times in less than a full second?

One thing I've never been able to forgive Bungie for was their spawning. Now I have another thing on that list: spawning the Taken.

I'll see if I can bring in more sometime this week!

Right off the bat, I want to thank everyone so much for popping in and watching; seeing the view counters raise higher than just the times I viewed it myself is always such a great lift to my spirits, and definitely a feel-good occurrence.

Alright, then! Let's get to the next group of videos!

This first one admittedly starts on a sour note; I certainly wasn't happy when it occurred.

I was doing Nightfall by myself, and as you'll see in the timer, I did not fare very well. However, I had a feeling that I could clinch this last battle in barely enough time to get Sunrise. As I launched an attack against Alak-Hul, his body suddenly went motionless. He never teleported, or sought cover, or even moved. There must've been some sort of glitch or somethi--

BOOM.

Apparently, he was playing dead. *facepalm* Ridiculous. Heh heh...

In this Taniks strike I was able to shoot out a Nova Bomb right as I died, so I was able to save that luckily!

Here's another clip where Taniks was damaged so heavily, he couldn't even step out of his grav lift!

I'm experiencing some deja vu here...

This is probably one of the funniest sticks I've ever gotten on Crucible. Afterward, I activated my Super at a decent time and luckily it didn't go to waste.

Apparently if Ma'aul charges at the wrong surface, some weird stuff can happen! :-)

Yes, Stormcaller is OP, but without it, I wouldn't be able to get multi-kills so high!

Speaking of that, I have a couple of clips of the Obsidian Mind in action. (Seriously, three Nova Bombs in 30 seconds!)
I guess you can say that's why it was nerfed so deeply. R.I.P. Obsidian Mind! You used to be OP, but now you're just "Oh, please."

And my last one for the night, I'll be embedding--to how many of you has this exact experience happened??
0.0

More incoming later in the week!

(And no, I won't embed any of them unless it's MOTW material. Spare you some bandwidth. lol)

• If you kill the Taken bosses when you're not supposed to, does that open a time paradox? Let's say yes!
  
• Doing a solo Daybreak strike, this was the lowest my health bar has ever been.
  
• A classic BXR on OGRE1 and OGRE2. ;-)
  
• A very unfortunate Dreg caught wind of my escape
  
• Doing a Challenge of Elders, I managed to score almost 5000 points in less than a minute!
  
• A scenario where I got real lucky. "If they didn't see me Artemis, they certainly didn't hear me!"
  
• This was definitely a surprising case--of course this Vandal obviously spawns there on Heroic, but what amazed me the most is the damage output. 108,039 points! I can't even imagine how much that would drain on a boss!
  
• One of the more infuriating moments of Destiny.

And finally, my (for the moment) coup de grace! Did you know you can 2-phase Regicide Oryx? I did. ;-)

Well, there's my first salvo; hope you guys enjoy. I will leave this particular post with some leftover strike endings--some solo, some group. All of which are particularly exciting to watch!
