One thing I want to do on this blog is highlight creators that I not only enjoy, but that I also think make content well-suited toward the ordinary Destiny player. Today I want to recommend Critbuff, an up-and-coming Youtuber and Twitch streamer.
Critbuff makes weapon review and build videos, and these days plays crucible on stream. His tagline is “I try weapons in Destiny so you don’t have to,” and he lives up to that by trying off-meta and new weapons to see what they have to offer. This season some of his best work as been weapons reviews where he uses the weapon for 1000 kills in the crucible:
And here is a fantastic review of Retrofuturist Critbuff did a few months back that shows how he can effectively communicate a lot of useful information in a short amount of time:
In my opinion Critbuff is a great creator for ordinary players to watch because while he is a good player, his strengths are strategic thinking and managing engagements rather than pure skill on the sticks. In other words, I don’t think any of Crit’s plays are beyond what any ordinary player could do with learning, thinking and practice, and watching his videos and stream are great ways to learn ways to improve.
Critbuff currently streams Monday-Friday from 1030am – noon US Eastern time. Unfortunately for me that is 730am to 9am so on days when I have to go to the office or drive kids to school I can’t watch, but I try to catch him whenever I can. Check him out, he’s well worth your time:
This was truly an honor, and I can’t thank you enough. Rest assured I’ll be reading every entry!
