A return of sorts....

Where the frell have I been?  Mostly drowning in my gaming and work (mostly gaming).  The last time I spoke about playing Star Wars: TOR.  Well, I played for about 6 months before I gave up.

The game was fun a while but I got really burned out reaching level 50 with my guardian.  I actually tried playing during the free week but I still didn't feel like playing.  Don't get me wrong it was quite fun for the time I played but I just felt .......

Enough about that game let talk about something new Orcs Must Die! 2 is coming and I can't wait.  The first game surprised me on how easy you could pick it up and play.  The videos on and players that showed all different ways to get combos with traps/magic was awesome.

I'm going to have a busy time this week and weekend.  I have a cookout I have to help prepare for and take help with.  I will be playing and recording (finally) some new videos of OMD2.  I will try and put up only videos that will help players get thru some areas or to try a different trap/magic setup.

I will give you guys an update about this time next week.  'til then laters.

A long time ago I tried too blog.....

I'm alive I think....yep.

What have I been doing....oh been playing a lot of Orcs Must Die!, Terraria, Killing Floor, TF2 (of course) and the swtor beta.

Wait, you played in the beta?  Yes I did twice.  Had a lot of fun.  Played some characters that I will be playing when released and know from other videos what I won't ever go near.

I also been dealing with family stuff which has put a lot of my personal project on hold or abandon.  I plan to put some videos out of my SWTOR gameplay after I get off the starting planet.  I also plan to make some more Orcs videos depending if I have time.

With the recent redesign of youtube I have to figure out have I want the layout to be.

I will still be playing TF2 but I will probably be limiting my time to SNS (Saturday Night Special) and maybe one time during the week.

I'll try and keep this more up to date this time and post some gameplay soon.

2 Fort Egypt style

Several weeks ago I played a version of 2 fort in TF2 which had an egypt style as well as some really nice changes.  There is no water in the middle which really makes playing pyro a little overpowered.  There is a shorter route to the intel if you look for it which is nice for both sides.  The intel is in a different spot that really fits the map style.

If anyone is tired of the same old 2fort check this map out at tf2maps.net.

Try as I might.....

Tried multiple times to record Star Wars: KOTOR (Knight of the Old Republic) using Fraps but it crashed every time it got to the cinematic scenes.  So my idea of doing a play through and posting it on my channel is a bust.

I hope I don't run into this issue with TOR (The Old Republic) when it comes out.  I really want to do some lets plays with that game.

In other news I will be attending another JoCo concert next month.  His performing with They Might Be Giants so it should be a good show.  I hope to be able to record it like last time.

Until next time,

Long month....

Well its been awhile so lets get started.

I've finished Darksiders and Transformers: War for Cybertron.  Both are great games and I highly recommend them both.

I've busy this past month I had to get the house prepared for a surprise party for my parents anniversity and still deal with work.

I hope to have a new video posted on my gaming channel within the next week.  It's from the SNS (Saturday Night Special) on the Twisted Network server #3 from a few weeks ago.  It's a custom 2fort map with an egypt theme.   It's not all that bad of a custom, it gives you one more route to take to the intelligence and you have no water under the bridge (pyro's go nuts).

I haven't decided what else I will post on the gaming channel yet.  Need to look at my steam library and see what I might like to play.

I also pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic.  I'm planning to make at least three characters (two republic, one sith).  I know some of the people I play with are going sith which in fine.  I know my first character is going to be jedi which might end up fighting them if I get on the same server.

Well, that's all for now.  Later.

Something life sucks

Hi guys sorry I haven't posted in a while been a little busy.  So last the other weekend I had a minor accident and had to go to the emergency room to have my shoulder looked at.  Nothing was broken but I had a contusion so I could do much with my right arm.

I'm a lot better now still not a 100% but it could have been worse.

I've also been playing a lot of F2P games that just arrived on Steam.  One of which is Champions Online which I already had characters on.  None of the costumes I made are saved on the new hard drive so I need to see if I can transfer them to the new one just in case I want them.

I also got Fear 1 & 2 for a nice price on steam (got to love those sales).  I might get Fear 3 for the multiplayer.

I hope to start recording again soon.  I'm just not sure what I should record or how much.

Quick update

I'm really enjoying Darksiders right now.  I got it on steam when it was on sale.  It might be a hack & slash but it has a pretty good story and the voice acting is good (Mark Hamill as your handler).  I haven't gotten too far into the game yet but the mini arena battles are a nice change.  Kill x amount until you reach the kill count and get extra souls for any time left over.

If your looking for a hack & slash that is different from most I recommend this game.
