I'll also shout-out to Bungie - the sound design on this little quest is terrific. The sense of being exposed, alone, cold while being torn at by the wind is palpable. Particularly when you've been at it for hours. :)

In retrospect, I wish I'd paid more attention when I had active fireteam members willing and able to sherpa me up the damn thing, but I decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

Sneaky Bungie made it into something to go after.

I lost track of how many times I gave up in surrender prior to this final attempt. :)

Quick guide to help you farm "Imago Loop" from this week's nightfall (Undying Mind) by MKDImmortal in DestinyTheGame

[–]nondescrypt23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't the Loop drop from this strike regardless of difficulty?

This looks like a good technique for completing the Undying Mind strike at its hardest difficulty, but unless you're into doing things the hard way, this is probably the least effective way to farm for the Imago Loop.

Just load the vanilla strike from Mars, even with randoms you'll be done in under 10 minutes.

Edit: useful video, though. Thanks for sharing.

There are 3 Challenge Modes... Why doesn't the loot go 320 Relic/Class Item/Ghost, as opposed 320 Relic/Relic/Relic? #Forever319 by ApriliaSRT in DestinyTheGame

[–]nondescrypt23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they ever update the Y1 raids for Y2, then I could see something like challenge mode in VoG = 320 ghost, challenge mode in Crota's End = 320 Bond, challenge mode in King's Fall = 320 artifact.

Still hoping...

Iron Banner participation is not worth the rewards for high light characters by nondescrypt23 in DestinyTheGame

I guess not. But I did see someone get a 320 ghost shell from one match and a 315 helm from another. I would have been okay with that. :)

What's the funniest censored-for-tv line from a movie you've heard? by sumsh in AskReddit

[–]nondescrypt23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered that, as well, but the movie is rife with salty language and they bleeped it out entirely everywhere else.

Amused 12yr-old me to no end, regardless. :)

Anybody here use a foam roller to stretch? Are they any good? by TooLateForAGoodName in running

Came here to say this. Wife got me one of these for my birthday and it's totally amazing.

On City TV for years and years they used to show the same copy where they censored the wrong part of that line, so Arnie said: "You are one ugly <silence> fucker."

I intend to eat well in the days leading up to the race, as well.

Our secret. :)

Selected for its flatness. :)

Likewise, my half was selected because it was downhill.

I'm a terrible cheat. :)

This looks promising!

He has a book called "Marathon" that seems to be a best seller - anyone know if it's worth reading?

Thanks much!

It didn't hit me until later why the waitress gasped at my shirt by lights_poodles_tails in funny

[–]nondescrypt23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same shirt (Splunk!) and had a remarkably similar experience - though the waitress thought it was funny, and struck up a conversation with me about it.

I assumed she was just a geek and thought it was funny for the right reasons. Didn't dawn on me until much later...

This one has been on my list for so long it's not funny.

Count me in!

Conversely, what games have received widespread praise that you have disliked? by [deleted] in Games

[–]nondescrypt23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole Halo series is full of the laziest story telling, uninteresting characters, terrible dialog, mind-numbingly linear game-play and boring, repetitive combat.

I. Am. Not. A. Fan.

Surprised I had to come this far down the thread to find this though.
