Temporarily Suspended?
January 9th, 2012 - T2 rings in the New Year with a 15 second reenactment of a Diablo III beta video that was originally created in 2008. This is followed by an analysis of a fictious Diablo IV beta and a side-by-side comparison of the original 2008 hoax with the reenactment. "Little has changed," T2 remarks, noting a relocation of a small shelf and wall clock now mounted upon his wall.
The original hoax video created four years ago portays him playing a tightly held Diablo III beta, winning him a very brief mention on G4TV. Days after recreating this masterpiece his second YouTube account, t2dariantan, is suspended.
Update 1 - Attempting to view T2's past videos on YouTube reveals that someone has repeatedly mass-flagged all of his videos for infringing content.

Top Tier of Television Viewing
December 22nd, 2011 - Potentially his last video for the calendar year, T2 reveals that he perfers shows with realism and grit. For a second time a reference is made to a woman codenamed "Double D." Apparently she likes the show "How I Met Your Mother."
Amoung various lists of television shows, he leaves us with his Top Tier of Television Viewing:
- Shameless
- Breaking Bad
- Sparticus
- Walking Dead
- Being Human
- Boardwalk Empire
- Game of Thrones
- Homeland
No Kills
December 18th, 2011 - Leveling up light armor defense and restoration while mudcrabs attack Beedle for hours, T2 sets out on a great epic quest to complete Elder Scrolls: Skyrim without killing a single living or undead1 soul.
A 50% fire resistant Drawven shield fends off the flames, as T2 can do nothing but watch.
In his first encounter with a dragon in LP #3, he delegates the dirty work of slaying the winged beast to nearby guards. "I’ve got one little trick up my sleeve," T2 says before using a scroll of Call to Arms, enhancing the attack ability of people nearby. Casting Raise Zombie on a fallen archer doesn’t work but a Reanimate Corpse brings them back to life for 60 seconds. Sadly the corspe does make it that far; however, additional troops step in to kill the dragon.
"And what do the stats say?" T2 switches to the general statistics of the game. "Combat? No Kills."
1 As noted in LP #10 conjuering familiars to finish off the undead does not count as a kill.
Note: T2 changes the title of the series from "Tales of Beedle the Bard" to "Let's Play Skyrim without Killing" in an attempt to gain more views. Publishing of this series stops on Blip.tv at LP #5 and carries forward to YouTube.
Idea that Nobody has Tried Before
December 12th, 2011 - After two really "out in left field" videos," T2 wonders how people can wirelessly transmit thoughts using only their brains. T2 first suggests taking two people, removing the tops of their skulls and touching their brains together to determine if thought communication is possible. After more questionably deductive reasoning he wonders if thoughts from someone solving an intense calculus problem can cause another person to break down into tears.
The recent videos Urban Safari and Tales of Beedle the Bard 1 are now connected to a playlist that automatically plays goes from one video to the next.
Select "Pro at" Videos Unhidden
December 2nd, 2011 - Earlier this week a Pro at Fishing view was made public on YouTube from the T2 video archives. Reports from yesterday indicate that several select Pro at Cooking views are now public.
His original account remains banned.
Tribes: Ascend Review
December 1st, 2011 - Rating it 6.5 out of 10, T2 says "This game gives you those moments where you remember Tribes fondly, but it doesn't really fulfill your expectations."
He mentions that they got a lot of things wrong:
- Juggernaut class is missing an orbital strike.
- Skills make the game all unbalanced.
- Sound have kept the old chaingun.
- Added a lot of Call of Duty style weapons.
- Takes three seconds to destroy a turret, but a minute to repair because there is no repair pack.
- Jumper class is super overpowered for chasing and capping.
- They left out the "fucking grapling hook."
Of course, there are always positives:
- Kept two bread and butter weapons: the disc and mortar.
- Grenade launcher is pretty good.
- Have to spend points to get vehicles and tacticle strikes.
At a Crossroads
November 27th, 2011 - T2 considers salvaging his old T2Darlantan account on YouTube; however, he needs to needs to locate his password to a long, lost e-mail account. This becomes paramount as Blip.tv video requirements are changing, mandating a topical show format in lieu of gameplay videos and blogs.
He explains that a woman codenamed "Double D" was the reason for a sudden halt in video production in March or April of 2011. A culmination of "accidentally deleting" e-mails from her computer and getting into a religious debate with her sister, possibly led to their deparature.
T2 rationalizes that his purpose for creating videos is to propagate ideas and to entertain people.
As far as the purpose of this "blog" we want most of your fans want: more T2 videos. What you want done with this "blog" is up to you. Should you want it destroyed, transferred or rebuilt, simpily command it.
Return to YouTube?
November 3rd, 2011 - Yesterday T2 discusses Crimecraft in 9 minute 4 second video, not on blip.tv but on YouTube. Yes you read that correctly: YouTube. Although he says has not reclaimed his YouTube throne, this could be a sign of his return.
This video alone amassed 114 comments in a single day.
Another Reference to the Tubes of You
October 27th, 2011 - In a recent string of vidoes, T2 mentions that he prefers to show some video clips of what he was talking about instead of just describing the situation, preferring not to go through the legal hassle to post videos on YouTube. Yes, you heard it correctly: post videos on YouTube.
He calls the video site a bitch, a minor step up from, "Fuck YouTube."
The Beta
September 7th, 2011 - Referred in certain circles as "the man who needs no introduction" or "the great one," after taking an abrupt 88 day hiatus from YouTube, T2Darlantan posted a 7 second video, followed by a 19 second video to the self-bannished channel 16 hours later. Neither video contains his voice nor video of himself.
Comments from the first brief video range from "T2 IS BACKKKKKKKKK" to "T2, you've faded into obscurity." With second video, fans remark "i thought you quit youtube" and "Youtube is unfair sometimes but please we demand more videos!!"
Nine new videos have been posted to his blip.tv channel since his departure.
