Awesome.
We're a Destiny household and my son and I bond while playing and watching YouTube. True Vanguard is his favorite and I'm thankful that I can let him watch away without worrying about not kids friendly content (s/o to Byf as well!).
Now that I've downloaded twitch, we've been in the habit of coming home from school on Fridays and watching TV stream trials. I sent TV a tweet about our Friday custom and said "how about a Trials run for your biggest 6 year old fan?"
So Monday, after school, Monkeyami got his dream come true. There's no one else I would have let him run with or enjoy his first ever party chat than TV.
I got to watch on Twitch. I was worried how chat would react, but it was amazing. Great support from the community for him. I only had to mute one guy. Thanks also to Tkiriella and Managtor.
So amidst all the salt and tea bagging, this community is still awesome.
Edit: TV has put up the official video, including the full lap around the map without dying. :)

Edit 2: If you're a parent and place a priority on that while still enjoying playing, check out Waltz of the Abyss.
Edit 3: My first blog post. For those worried that my son has free reign of the PS4: http://gamestogether.blogspot.com/2016/03/first-post-house-rules.html

Lol nice post!
-
Great story. Post a link for us bro
-
I wish my wife shared an equal enthusiasm about Destiny as you lol. I have a daughter, and I am absolutely not allowed to let her watch me play, let alone watch streams together.
-
pretty sad story,using your kid to shamelessly promote destiny's shitty twitch feed
-
I agree, see you in the dark zone
-
I think... [spoiler]The Division came out yesterday.[/spoiler] [spoiler]That Hazmat suit tho.[/spoiler]
-
Great story, just wish you could've had a better game to share w/him....
-
I think... [spoiler]The Division is out.[/spoiler]

Bump.
-
Just when I thought TV couldn't get any more badass..
-
I watched the video when it came out and loved it, probably one of the cutest things to watch.
-
6 years old? You are a horrible parent. Take the kid outside and play a game with him.
-
I'm glad to see that there are still some great members left in this community.
-
I think the twitch community is pretty good but destiny has a horrible one, no one plays with anyone that isn't max light level it's so lame
-
Bump :)
-
This is good feedback. It's good that you get some bonding time in
-
-
Good story mate - this is modern parenting at it's finest!
-
This is a good parent right here. You actually pay attention to what your child does and don't expect the world to babysit him. You sir are great.
-
This is cool. My 9yr old son and one of his 10yr old buddies took me on a flawless run to the Lighthouse in Trials in year 1! I was so proud of him lol! He has since given up on Destiny and moved on to different games, but I know how cool it is to play with your kid :-)
-
This makes me want to cry tears of joy 😂
-
Love it. While my sons (10 and 14) have moved-on to other games, we enjoyed hundreds of hours of Destiny together. Game on!
-
No way would I ever let my 6yo on xbox chat with anyone!
-
Awesome story
-
This is awesome. I wish more of the community was like this
