I was a little rushed so I didn't set up my capture equipment, but I'm hoping someone out there recorded the experience for those that couldn't make it.

I've recorded 1.5 to 2 hours worth of moon footage, though it's not very concise. There's a lot of backtracking and messing about, and a significant period of time spend down in the Hellmouth.

I also captured some public events and quite a bit of loot discovery. Overall, our group explored it fairly well I'd say! I'll be seeing what I can do with the footage... soon™

- The Hive. The last time I had this sensation was in Halo with the Truth and Reconciliation--exploring this strange alien architecture and finding it all so interesting. The Hellmouth is.. man. You get this strange architecture and bones, everywhere.. but then you find this giant chain. And then you catch it moving. What the heck is on the other end of that? The Hall of Wisdom, with this darkness moving through the ceiling, full of glowing green Hive faces. Beyond it, a closed doorway full of machinery on one side, a cavern full of strange cocoons on the other. What ARE the Hive? These guys seem absolutely evil and bizarre. There isn't one flavor to them.

They're so interesting! I really loved everything I saw down there. The scattered bones, the huge open caverns, the mining operation and strange coloured rocks... I'm really looking forward to learning about these fellas.

Russia was fun and gave a great idea of what this game has available, but the moon pushed that much further. The sense of discovery really grew strong there.
