Compilation 35 includes an indoor Banshee, a grunty face-off, and an explosive incident at a blockade!

(5:34) Various levels and difficulties. My 35th 'freakiness and fun' compilation shows 14 freaky or amusing incidents, most of which occurred while recording footage for my usual movies - so you may recognize some of the situations.

Released May 27th 2025, gameplay recorded 2023-2026.

00:02 (Artillery call) I got this Shade Grunt blasted by the Wraith by pausing near him for a few seconds. A mischievous tactic you can enjoy. September 2024 footage from when I was recording for BCM510. Level 5, Heroic.

00:20 (Bridge bust) Pyramid megabattle action. Wraith got me good, just as I was blasting some bridge troops! March 2025 footage from when I was recording for BCM561. Level 8, Heroic.

00:35 (Jump chumps) In this tower zone megabattle I draw some Elites up the ramp, where they clumsily go straight off. My plasma blast kills all three down there, which was quite amusing. However, I ended up not using a balcony play in the movie I was working on. I switched to a speed melee play instead, as it had more of an identity and illustrated some excellent fun to try. Getting good balcony plays was hard anyway. April 2024 footage from when I was recording for BCM485. Level 5, Normal.

00:58 (Blood rain) After I rocket the Grunt in mid-air, blue blood rains down on me! A rare event. January 2025 footage from when I was recording for BCM545. Level 4, Heroic.

01:18 (No escape) In this tower zone megabattle a Ghost comes in along the passage, splattering a Hunter and a Grunt on the way. But when the pilot tries to back out because of my own Ghost, the door is no longer open, as no covie is standing near it. So there's no escape from my plasma fire. April 2024 footage from when I was recording for BCM484. Level 5, Normal.

01:37 (Grunt shoot) If you followed my recent 'hit and run' rockslide megabattle movies, you'll recognize this situation where I nip up to a high perch for some sniping. Amusingly, a Grunt ends up getting launched, making an irresistible sniping target. As amusing as that was however, I ended up using a different play which had better action later on. April 2026 footage from when I was recording for BCM632. Level 2, Heroic.

02:00 (Incursion) When trying for a Banshee grab, I got a surprise when the Banshee ended up coming into the passage, soon appearing to get stuck. I eventually decided to try and jump to the other side of it, but the pilot suddenly made a move and I got splattered. January 2026 footage from when I was recording for BCM622. Level 5, Heroic.

02:55 (If in doubt, throw grenade) In this pyramid descent fight, a panicking Grunt makes a distinctly dodgy plasma throw against the nearby wall. He was a bit confused I guess (the caption alludes to that, not to my throw). Before it goes off though, my own plasma grenade kills him. For another such flustered Grunt, see BCM84. March 2025 footage from when I was recording for BCM556. Level 8, Heroic.

03:13 (Last laugh) Some twin bridges megabattling here. Engaging in a rear trough defence involving a blockade, I tag an Elite who'd managed to slip through. Unfortunately, he's able to reach me before going boom, and that leaves me exposed to the now unblocked mob. I'm dead in a few seconds but manage to throw one last plasma, and I sort of get the last laugh because it wipes out just about all of them in a comical chain reaction. There were some loose plasmas on the ground, thanks to some killing I'd done. December 2025 footage from when I was recording for BCM617. Level 5, Normal.

03:47 (Wraith one-two) Had a rough time with this Wraith. And after I got ejected from the first blast, it didn't much help that I pulled out a needler! Needler versus Wraith just isn't a good match. September 2024 footage from when I was recording for BCM509. Level 5, Heroic.

04:06 (Teamwork) Near the end of this pyramid descent fight, a Jackal gets hilariously blasted by the Wraith. Very obliging I thought! March 2025 footage from when I was recording for BCM557. Level 8, Heroic.

04:22 (Turret face-off) I got this amusing situation during work on spawn-launching the Wraith. I forget quite what I was doing; probably investigating something. The Marine had raged over to the turret, which I'd moved a bit. January 2026 footage. Level 5, maybe Heroic.

04:52 (Jumpy the Grunt) This Grunt made a freakishly long, dive due to being part way up a rock. The sloping surface deflected his path upwards. You see that dynamic occasionally. After missing a swipe I tried to finish things off with an amusing tag, but I missed, which I was a bit annoyed with because it would've made a nice ending. March 2026 footage, which I think was from when I was recording for BCM626. Level 2, Heroic.

05:12 (Jackal-bombed cyborg) Bit embarrassing when you Jackal-bomb yourself, to be honest. But it can make an amusing ending to a movie at least! The Grunt's "Idiot!" line is for friendly fire, but in this clip it seems like it's directed at me! Incidentally, at just about the last moment in movie production, I extended this clip by a couple of seconds at the start, to include the slaying of the first Jackal. It was just a such a satisfying kill with the plasma rifle whack. March 2023 footage from when I was recording for BCM441. Level 5, Normal.

Closing remarks If you're following my output, you'll know that I've been doing a whole lot of grav-lift battling lately, having just put out six movies of it, with two battles apiece. I was planning to keep going a while longer, but then I thought it might be good to break things up a bit, with an interlude. When I delved into my reserve of 'freakiness and fun' footage, I found that I actually had enough to make a decent movie. One I'm very pleased with actually. Anyway, that's the interlude done; now back to the grav-lift battling. I have another six movies already waiting for release!

Incidentally, I doubt that anyone's keeping count, but I can tell you that in my 35 'freakiness and fun' movies so far, I've covered 631 incidents!
