In Destiny , a player has achieved a Crota kill that has garnered a lot of attention. Even the pros in the US forum reddit are impressed.
Last night, a user posted a video of a Crota kill on reddit. The usually hardened users there were impressed and urged Destiny’s Community Manager, DeeJ, to make the Crota kill the video of the week. Everywhere, there were words of praise and admiration.
What is to be seen? No, it is not a new speed record being celebrated. Not even solo is the Guardian going solo. Together with his brother, a boy named Derek plays the raid and takes down Crota as the Swordbearer in the video. Derek suffers from infantile cerebral palsy and can only operate the controller with his hands and feet simultaneously.
This is the same condition under which actor RJ Mitte suffers, who plays the character Walter White Jr. in the US series Breaking Bad. And it is the condition that often affects people who are derogatorily called “spastics.” It often arises from brain damage in early childhood.
The video shows how the young Guardian elegantly and clearly takes down Crota and celebrates in the end.
Guardians are particularly impressed that the boy has learned to compensate for his handicap so skillfully that no one in a raid would notice that there isn’t a non-disabled player behind the Guardian. On the contrary: “He’s better with his feet than I am with my hands!” is often said. Especially players who know someone with a disability are moved and feel inspired by the player’s performance.
The “most impressive” conventional Crota kill is this solo run by Slayerage_Sc against Crota in hard mode.
