Here is a previously unreleased video which was shot almost 2 years ago for our original trailer. Inside a hard drive. Plus a bit of unnecessary destruction.
Shot at 1000fps

Really? A radioactive, constantly decaying, ungodly rare element ಠ_ಠ

[Ailison Carvalho]

Because there it's cheap!

[TheLasagneLP]

hasn't gus already done that? and he said it was the closest he's ever gotten to his death

[MrDawgZA]

By the looks of it, being big and wiry, compared to a new drive, that one is ancient. Probably copies at 10mb/s

[TheLasagneLP]

cause look at the views! now let me tell you a secret: the views are proportional to the money they make

[backlashlaze .]

Who thumbs this? It doesn't make any sense....

[MLP FIM]

My hardrive is more wet than rarity's mane on look before you sleep

[Francy Brony]

There's like 30 g of Francium on the whole planet...

[TheNecroKight]

ok, what about a gallon of ammonium dichromate on fire :D

(massive, MASSIVE vulcano effect XD)

[Sabre809]

For every million view, it's 5 thousand dollars they get, he also works at Roosterteeth, and Achievement hunter, and even worked on the Sherlock holmes 2 movie..Yeah, no really he did. He's got LOADS of money to entertain us with, and when he's done, and a video is up, that's more money for him, so...Why question it? Just enjoy.
