No worries about the lack of idiocy in my post. It doesn't help so I try not to. I can't disagree entirely with your point about the tower. It doesn't exactly provide a thrilling experience, at least initially. However, if you are of the exploring ilk it can provide ideas on how to get somewhere you may know of. Given you play the PS, I don't know if you played the Halo games that Bungie made, but the maps really were fantastic and often allowed for workarounds ingame, often to the players advantage. Couple that with those often tricky to find skulls and you now have a reason to find these areas and work out how to get to them. I had a complete bastard of a time trying to find a skull in one PvP map for Halo 3. It was right at the back of a shaft that I had to grenade jump to get to and took hours. That sense of achievement and relief when I finally got it was, to say the least, huge. I don't see these guys as being anything different. They are showing others how to reach areas that may (in the future if not now) contain ghosts for example. My point about strikes being reused was that if they could do this with strikes, why not levels? Hang on, they have so why not some of those featured in the video in the future? Ultimately, I think you're wrong to discount what the OP is doing. However, I would still defend your right to express your opinion. I hope the dental work isn't too bad. It isn't nice and my prevailing memory of my wisdom tooth extraction (nearly twenty years back) is of them fishing around in the wound trying to find and remove the piece of root they left behind... Makes your balls shrink to the size of raisins!

  • Thanks for your concern about the teeth! It wasn't too extensive, but, I had two pulled. And, when you have teeth pulled you can't do specific things like eat certain foods, or drink out of a straw, or smoke weed. So, I have been on edge the last couple of days. But, back to the matter at hand. I actually did own an Xbox at one time and have played the Halo games up to 4 I think (I know it's not technically called that, just can't remember the name). I do know all about the hidden skulls, some of the tricky things you had to do to get to a lot of them. Plenty of hours spent trying to find them all. I even owned an Xbox 360 Elite, remember those? They were grey and the only ones to come out with a 120 GB hard drive at the time. I am a gamer at heart, so, I do know some history. Not quite as extensive as some other people claim around here, but, I have my knowledge. Anyways, I know about secrets in Bungie's games. But, I don't think this is the same Bungie crew from back in those days. I mean, obviously, one of the main writers for Destiny left, we all know that. And, I'm sure there were others that followed. While there maybe more secrets in this game that we don't know about, I don't think they're quite as extensive as what was in Halo. Perhaps I'm wrong, only time will tell. What this all comes down to, really, is that I wholeheartedly disagree that it's a mind blowing video and that I should be so amazed at what they're doing. Was I salty about it in my first post? Absolutely. But, lack of conveniences can do things to you. Plus, I had read some other posts that were already pissing me off. So, some of that was tied in with negativity from people on here. And, I didn't make it any better with my response. I still stand by my opinion of the video. My mind was not blown I don't think it should get video of the week.

  • Pulled teeth - never fun. I had four pulled when I was a teenager "to make room". Fortunately, our dentist was a nice guy and arranged it in two sittings so it wasn't too extreme. If course that meant I went in knowing what was going on from the first time... The wisdom tooth was just off the head. The second injection scraped against the root of the tooth. Then he couldn't get it out so they went "invasive" as the nurse later put it - cutting into the gum and drilling. 90 minutes later I was out. As I said, you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. Have fun out there.

  • i'm sorry it didn't blow your mind but don't take this personally... your opinion on how a game should be played is completely irrelevant to me.
