Is it me you're looking for

Hey guys, it's been a very long time since we've posted any videos, or given you any news. Anything anything really. The channel isn't exactly dead just now, but it's on the endangered species list. One of our members, is moving- like a long ass train journey away, technically out of the country. It's still possible that we'll be episodes/livestream stuff. However, it won't be the whole same sofa situation thing we've been doing so far. Nothing is for certain at the minute, but if you hadn't already assumed we were finished- it's sadly starting to look that way.

Thanks for any of you guys that read this blog.

The BSGTV team.

On Topic: #3 Castin' Podz

It's been a while since our last video, and of course our last post. We've been absent, and for good reason. We're not exactly sure what we want to do with this channel, we've really had fun with our podcasts and that's about all we're sure about at the minute. Don't worry, we will finish the second season of our multiplayer challenges- but they do seem to be on hold at the minute. We've got a lot of ideas, and that's not just a clever lie to get you to keep you guys interested in our podcasts.

Multiplayer Challenge S2E07: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Hey guys, the latest multiplayer challenge is here. It's a rather intense game of plum on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2. None of us really know how to play this (what's new?) but it's certainly a good one!


Drastic Changes ahead.

Hey guys, we've got some pretty game changing news here. The pod cast goes into the news a bit more than here, this is what you could consider the TLDR notes of the changes. So here it is, we're dropping our two current LP'sin favour of doing LP's when we want to do them, we're just not having fun with these two games- we can't do single player LP's, other channels do them (with multiple hosts) and do so very well, but it's not something we're cut out for. In place of what we have, we're going to focus more on podcasts, as well as multiplayer challenges. LP's will be possible, but only if they're multiplayer. We just gel better when we're all involved. We want to thank everyone that has stayed with us up to this point, and we're sorry if you were enjoying our half finished LP's, but if we can't have fun doing them- we just won't be createing content we think is worth of YouTube. There is more news, but nothing major- it'll be covered in tonights- very late- podcast. Enjoy!

BSG Plays: Saints Row 3 Part 6 - Once This Baby Hits 30 MPH

Hey guys, it's a very late one today. Sorry about that... Still, we've got another episode of Saints Row The Third for you. We want to take this time to say just how perfect Helga's voice is for this LP. We really couldn't of asked for anything better.


Thursday 23 August 2012

BSG Plays: Fallout: New Vegas Part 29

Sorry for the late episode again guys, Nick went to see the Dark Knight Rises. Again. Also he isn't very well. This episode features the BSGTV observing whilst Devyn is derping. Don't let us fool you, Old World Blues is fantastic. But, they way we're playing the game- pretty much  a chaotic stupid play style. We really don't get to see what makes this DLC shine. The writing, the hidden little extras and exploring, and at this point Jordan & Ricky have had just about enough of Fallout.


Tuesday 21 August 2012

BSG Plays: Saints Row 3 Part 5 - FIRE EVERYTHING

So, we invent a new BSGmobile toward the end of this episode. To put it simply, this game was made for us to LP.


Sunday 19 August 2012

Multiplayer Challenge S2E06: Street Fighter II Turbo

So, the next multiplayer challenge has been on our list for a long time. Perhaps even before the list had been stored on Google docs- serious business. Perhaps though, the reason we didn't tackle it was due to the fact none of us can really play it. Nick & Rick have played them, but by no means are they any good.

Friday 17 August 2012

BSG Plays: Fallout Part 28

Some shocking revelations in this episode, Rick hasn't seen iron man & he didn't like the avengers. This episode features the proper start of Old World Blues. No one really knows what's going on and we set off on the huge fetch quest that is this DLC, not that that's a bad thing.


Thursday 16 August 2012

BSG Plays: Saints Row 3 Part 4 - Absurdly Huge Guns

Hey guys, the latest - and equally ridiculous- episode of Saints Row: The Third. Enjoy!

BSG Plays: Fallout Part 27

Hello everybody, we're back with another episode of make Nick & Devyn hate their favourite DLC. We're sorry for the outright bile this episode contains, but looking back this part is way too much plot exposition in such  a rail roady way. All it needed was a *I WANT YOU TO LET ME PLAY* dialogue option and it'd be golden. It's possible there was one, in which case we suffered needlessly. Alas, here's the video.


Tuesday 14 August 2012

BSG Plays: Saints Row 3 Part 3 - The BSGmobile

This episode of Saints Row: The Third features one of the biggest triumphs this channel has ever had, we've designed an awful car. The level of custumisation in this game is insane, and the game is better for it. It feels like the developers just sat down and had a brain storm of stuff that hate not being able to do in sandboxes, and at the exact moment a heavenly light shone upon the board room and saints row 3 fell from the sky.




Sunday 12 August 2012

Multiplayer Challenge S2E05: Roflnaughts

Bit of a special episode this Sunday, we're playing Roflnaughts. A secret little game hidden inside Awesomenaughts. Last time we checked, there wasn't any 4 player videos of this game- so we hope were' one of the first, if not the first. This game is crazy fun, and pretty simple to pick up and play. Plays a lot like smash brothers, at its core anyway. Enjoy!

Saturday 11 August 2012

BSG Plays: Fallout Part 26

Bit of late one tonight, I'm afraid. We were up tonight recording, then League Of Legends happened. So we're sorry, but here it is. This episode we begin our adventure into the world of old world blues, and Nick and Devyn- who previously loved this DLC- begin to slowly, but surely hate it. Enjoy!

Thursday 9 August 2012

BSG Plays: Saints Row 3 Part 2- From Russia, With Fists.

So, we begin our adventure in Saints Row The Third proper. Helga's voice and face are going to be an endless source of entertainment- we have no doubt about that. We love this game at the minute, the past two episodes have been crazy fun. We seem to be taking a couple of cues from the podcast in these episodes, e.g- less professionalism and just us being us. We don't think that it's a bad thing, we hope you enjoy it!

Wednesday 8 August 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 25

Hey guys, we're fast approaching the end of this game, so as promised after this episode we're going to start old world blues. We've already recorded those episodes, and we can tell you that Nick & Devyn aren't having as much fun with it as they did the first time round. But that is all in your future, whilst (fortunately) it is in our past. Also, you may of noticed we've taken to giving our latest LP (saints row 3) names in the title, Nick fought for this and finally won- just in case you wanted to know why we've started.

Tuesday 7 August 2012

BSG Plays: Saints Row 3 Part one- I'm Your Biggest Fan!

Hello everybody, our next and third LP, Saints Row: The Third. Has just gone live! Rick will be taking up the mantle of Helga Von Fist, in her second adventure! We're a couple of episodes into this game, and we've got to say it's just pure unadulterated fun. It's the stupid kinda of fun, or as most people know- the best kind. Enjoy!

Sunday 5 August 2012

Multiplayer Challenge S2E04: Micro Machines V3

Hey guys, the next multiplayer challenge is here! And with this one, we're starting to regret limiting our choices in choosing games has proven itself to be a little bit of a pain in the ass, a comment on one of our older videos has asked for more micro micro maniacs, and it's making us start to consider dropping the limits we have on games, also- we recorded a podcast. It's called "On Topic" and will be on the YouTubes sometime today or tomorrow!

EDIT: Added the podcast, on a side note- it's not going to be a regular thing. We just turn the mic on when we fancy taking a break and just talk. So they will pop up now and again.

Friday 3 August 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 24

Hey guys, the latest episode of Fallout: New Vegas is here! This episode, and the one before it may of seemed a little different in relation to our other videos. The past two recordings were recorded very late at night and as consequence we were a lot less controlled than we usually are, and we think it turned out pretty damn well!

On a side note, this weekend we're starting our third LP and we can not wait- it's going to be good one!

Thursday 2 August 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 23

Hey everybody, we had totally forgot to tell everyone we uploaded the latest episode of Fallout: New Vegas, it was one of our members birthday and we celebrated it and- well, the rest writes itself. Enjoy episode 23!

Sunday 29 July 2012

Super Boomerman 3!

This, curiously enough was the first episode we recorded with Bavdeep- we always like to start the recording sessions with a multiplayer challenge to sort of us warm us up before doing the long haul- I.E the LP's. This episode features our first 5 player multiplayer challenge, with Bavdeep being in no real danger of winning any points. So, here it is- enjoy!

Friday 27 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 22

Hey everybody, another episode of Fallout: New Vegas here. Bavdeeps here too! In this episode we tackle the brotherhood of steel- they're kinda a bunch of dicks in the new Fallout series. Nick touches on it briefly in this episode, and quite possibly the one before this. In the first Fallout, the brotherhood weren't exactly the nicest guys on the block, but they weren't the xenophobic assholes they are in Fallout 3, and to a lesser extent New Vegas. There a pretty much 2 main ways to get into the brotherhood base. You can murder everything and anything in your way, aka Helga'd. Or, you can be forced to help them, they put a battle royale style bomb collar on you and make you do their stupid quests. If you have a particular companion with you it's possible to get in with her acting as a speech check, by her we're referring to Veronica. It's kinda a dick move either way.

Thursday 26 July 2012

Rayman Origins part 24

It's finally here, the end of our first LP. It's been a long time since we've wanted to do this channel and never before had we thought we would get as far as we have done today. We want to thank you all for staying with us this far, even if it's only the dedicated few- just one person enjoying our videos makes all this effort worth while. So, here it is- the finale of Rayman Origins. Nick has also released the third part of his Walking Dead LP, I beleive that makes us up to date with what he has released- or near enough. According to him though, he's finished the first episode and started another LP, to bridge the gap between waiting for him to start episode 2!



Wednesday 25 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 21

Hey guys, the latest episode of Fallout: New Vegas is here- this time featuring a special guest, Bavdeep! Bavdeep is a long term friend of the group, and helped us shape our channel by offering advice and wise council. He's wishing to start his own YouTube channel- if he'll be partnered with us remains to be seen- but for the time being, he's got his very own stream . This episode features a bug both Nick, Devyn & Bavdeep in all their collective hours of New Vegas have never seen, and it was a bit of an odd one... Enjoy!

Tuesday 24 July 2012

Rayman origins part 23

Hey everybody, Rayman Origins part 23 is here- there's only one more left, if we've worked out how Rick edits the videos correctly! Featuring special guest Lord Bavington, YouTube Channel pending, but his stream is active now and again. After we finish posting the last part of this LP we're going to take a little break before we start our next LP, one to two weeks is all. Enjoy!

Monday 23 July 2012

Nick Plays: The Walking Dead Part 2

Hey guys, you may of read Nicks blog and if you did- then you'll know that we're getting his videos a little later than he'll be posting them on his channel. However, today we've just got part two of his LP! Where has he's be greedy on part 3- soon to be part 4. Enjoy!

Sunday 22 July 2012

Saturday 21 July 2012

Hijacked!

Hey everybody, it's Nick- this time from JoypadAthletics. I'm just posting here, the more well known blog- to let everyone know that whilst my LP of the Walking Dead will be posted here, and uploaded to the BSGTV YouTube channel, it will be appearing on my blog and my channel before it does here. Only by a couple of days, but I thought you guys might want to know where to look if you want early access- my next video will be coming up Saturday, and sadly at this point I had not figured out the whole resolution thing- but it's fixed (for SD) by episode four. I hope you guys are enjoying this little side project, depending on how this goes I may well LP other games when I've finished with The Walking Dead, or at least until episode 3 comes out. Just to speed up getting to the videos I'm happy with, I'll be releasing part 2 & 3 Saturday- what a treat!

Friday 20 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 20

It's a bit of a long episode this week, we try to aim for 20 minutes- roughly- each episode. Sometimes we just don't want to stop half way into a quest line or a train of thought. We do feel a little bad for eating up so much of your time, but the episode is as long as it is for a pretty good reason. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Thursday 19 July 2012

Rayman origins part 22

Hey guys, the next part of Let's Play: Rayman Origins is now live, as with the last post there is little to say here- we won't have much to say until the last episode of the series and the after LP write up (If Nick can be bothered) Speaking of Nick though, he's got 2 more episodes of his LP uploaded- and 3 more left to edit, he's messed up a little in the rendering for episode 2 and 3, but promises us that he's learned a little more for 4- so it should be all good! Expect to see those videos this Saturday, thanks for watching!

Wednesday 18 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 19

Hey guys, in this episode of Let's Play: Fallout: New Vegas we pay one last visit to the king and totally screw up the mission that crocker gave us. This is another quest that has multiple resolutions- but we appear  to have none of the skills needed to frame someone else for Pacers death- so yeah, we kinda of just have to Helga him. At this point in the game we're pretty much locked into doing quests for the NCR, or at least we're going to want  to finish the quest line- it's got some pretty fun quests, good XP, the ability to obtain an awesome hat AND the chance to piss off a major power in the Fallout universe, we're going to have some fun here. Enjoy!


Tuesday 17 July 2012

Rayman origins part 21

Episode 21 of Rayman Origins: This episode is the beginning of the end. The end of the main story at least, as promised we do tackle the ol' ruby teeth guy. Christ it was a pain, to the point that we had to plan to do post commentary. We're still enjoying this game, but I'm afraid there's little to talk about in terms of game play or story any more. So for know, I'll leave you guys with episode 21- enjoy!

Monday 16 July 2012

Nick Plays: The Walking Dead

Hey everybody, as some of you might know Nick has started his old channel again JoypadAthletics. He's also started his first single player LP, so the BSGTV team have decided to upload his videos to our YouTube channel (as well as his) just to have everything in all in one place. We'll link to his videos on this blog and Facebook etc just so you knows know where to go, check him out!


Sunday 15 July 2012

Multiplayer Challenge S2E01: Worms Reloaded Redux

Hello everybody, season 2 of the multiplayer challenges is here! As promised, the winner, Nick will be able to choose the game he wants to play next- even if it's a game we've played before, and as you might be able to tell from the title- we've played this one before. That's right, we're playing worms reloaded on the PC and we had a bloody good time doing so too- this game is pretty sweet, it doesn't exactly bring anything new to the worms series- perhaps a few items? It's just the game we all know and love just dolled up and with local co-op. Couldn't really ask for more. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Oh also, before we forget- Nick has started using his blog a little more often than he used to- to the point that he's even his very own solo LP of The Walking Dead. See that here, and his inane rambling here.

Friday 13 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 18

In this episode of Fallout: New Vegas we continue working for the king and Jordan shows some serious hate for  all things Wayne. We can't help but feel that freeside should of played a bigger part in the game than it did, in our  view at least. It would of been cool to have to work our way up, becoming more famous- and consequently more of a target, until we're renowned enough to allow the gates to be opened for us, I suppose we might of complained if it turned out this way too, but Vegas itself is more of a quest hub than a plot point and we feel that it's a bit of a wasted opportunity.

Thursday 12 July 2012

Rayman Origins Part 20

This episode we finish up the last door boss and finish one more tricky treasure, only one left! To be honest, this boss fight was a little lacklustre in comparison to the previous bosses. We've almost ran out of stuff to say in these posts. However, the last episode is going to be a little different than our other recordings- we'll be doing post commentary. Why are we doing post though? That's going to have to remain a secret, but we can tell you this much- it doesn't have anything to do with us messing up!

 

Wednesday 11 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas part 17

Hey everybody, we're finally done with the Boomers! Well, we deal with them a little bit in the latest video but we tackle a much more interesting quest line for the next couple of videos. Once again, Nick totally gets everything wrong- although we're not surprised about that any more.

In this episode Nick mentions how The Kings "sort of" worship Elvis as a God, well- he sort of wants to elaborate on that because whilst it's not wrong- it doesn't convey how funny we think it is. The general idea of it is that the guys that found the impersonation school *thought* that people before the war worshipped Elvis as a king, not the Freeside gang themselves. Just wanted to clear that up, the concept behind the kings is what we feel to be one of the funnier part of the game- of course, there is loads funny dialogue, but to cover it all would extend this LP well beyond our natural life spans.

Tuesday 10 July 2012

Rayman origins part 19

Today's episode of Rayman: Origins marks the beginning of the end, we start the angsty abyss- the last boss door as we like to call it. We're all very glad to start enjoying this game again, as you guys may remember we had a little bit of a sour situation with this game for a while- but now we're back into the full swing of enjoying it. From memory, there's one more level we didn't enjoy, but the rest is smooth sailing. Not long until we've finished our first LP, we hope you enjoy it as much as we (normally) do!

Sunday 8 July 2012

Multiplayer Challenge Season Finale: 007: Nightfire

This came around a lot faster than any of us thought it would of, the finale of season one. We've recorded two episodes into season 2 already, it seems our work will never end. That, of course, is fantastic. At the time of posting, we've finished this season- and our first LP, Rayman: Origins. It's been a dream of our friend circle to have a gaming YouTube channel, and despite the fact we're not the most popular in the world it doesn't cheapen our efforts, and it doesn't cheapen you fantastic few of you that enjoy our videos enough to subscribe (and the even smaller group reads this blog, but still)

So, here it is- the finale.

Friday 6 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 16

True to the Helga way, we're scraping by and putting in the bare minimum of effort in solving our problems (this, in fact, turns out to be more effort via searching for drugs and skill books) The first quest we tackle (repairing the solar array)  is an example of how having multiple resolutions to a quest is a great idea- allowing a wide range of players to enjoy and complete the game in various ways. That being said, we feel like the game could of went further still to accommodate different players. Like we've said many times over, a strength intimidate options needs to show up many more times than it does- it seems foolish that we've got maxed out strength and can do so little (non-killing related) things with it. Stuff like breaking open locks, scaring people into doing what we want and other forcing related stuff. Just a few ideas of course, but in places in feels like the game is catering to a certain type of player and to hell with a strength character and that is just a bad idea.


Thursday 5 July 2012

Rayman origins part 18

This episode of Rayman marks the return of the tricky treasure rage, and it's a big one. Oh boy, you should hear the final celebration it's insane. It was about 3 in the morning and we just completely exploded. But we can tell you, it is seriously satisfying to do something you've failed at that many times. This tricky treasure taught us that it's best to do the treasure after all the levels, our rage had transferred over to the rest of the levels- something we do not want to happen. That being said, we really enjoyed the the levels after the chest- and the boss fight, however much we may of complained, is our favourite in the game. Enjoy!

Wednesday 4 July 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 15

Episode 15 of Fallout New Vegas had been hidden away on the playlist for a while, so some of you may of seen it before it was official released- so you've only just spoiled it for yourself! Anyway, this episode marks about half of the Boomers miscellaneous junk being completed. Apart from that, there's no much to really say. But, we did feel like we hated on the Boomers more than we should of- it's not as bad as we say, but doing WoW quests for these guys does tend to grate on the soul.

Tuesday 3 July 2012

Rayman origins part 17

And with the latest release, we dive into the 3third boss zone the luscious lakes that strangely enough starts inside hell itself. Also in this episode, we claim we're going to try and use more teamwork and take the game a little slower. Guess how that turns out? A hint, if you need one- not very well at all. At time of posting, we've completed the game- the teeth and all. We've decided our next LP- and it's going to be played by someone that hasn't played it before, and only one member of the group has played it before. We hope you guys enjoy this video and all future parts to come!

Sunday 1 July 2012

Multiplayer Challenge: Mario Smash Football.

The sad truth of these multiplayer challenges is that Mario will feature heavily, not that the games are bad- a few of us grew up with them and loved it- but these days you just don't get many 4 player split screen multiplayer games. We try and mix it up with the 2v2, winners vs winners, losers vs losers model and we hope it keeps it fresh. Anyway, the penultimate episode of season one is here! We will be covering the Wii version of this game at a later point in time (spoilers), a game Nick & Rick are very fond of. Those of you that recall the Wii version will know that online there was a "player of the day" segment, together Nick and Rick managed to become that player- they're little claim to fame.

Without further adieu, here's the video- rather videos it's quite a long one. Enjoy.

                                         

Friday 29 June 2012

Rayman Origins part 16

Hey guys, as we said yesterday Rayman will be released today due to a little mix up, this episode we pick up another tricky treasure and finally say goodbye to the Desert of Didgeridoos and finish off the boss. Enjoy!

Thursday 28 June 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 14

Hey guys, this episode we pay a visit to the Boomers- we'll save the blog post complaining about them until we're finished with their quests. Long story short though, Nick & Devyn hate them. Also, unbeknownst to the rest of the group Devyn has some serious beef with junkies and waste landers.

EDIT: Turns out Nick released the wrong video, sorry about that guys- we'll leave this one up and just released Rayman On Friday. Sorry for any issues this may of caused.

Fallout: New Vegas Part 13

Hey guys, this episode is a little late- at least it is for us in the UK. In this episode we tackle one of Fallout's more fun quests, beyond the beef. For those of you that haven't played the game, this write up will be spoiler free- you'll have to watch the video to find out what goes down! However, there is a couple of things to say without spoiling how the quest pans out. What we can tell you is that it's about cannibalism, as you may recall we picked up the cannibal perk a couple of episodes back for this particular quest. Thing is, depending on what dialogue the player uses the perk is sometimes not needed. Guess what we do?

 This is one of many problems that this quest runs into, it feels really big, loads of options and different ways for the quest to end. So much so that both Nick and Devyn run into a ending neither have seen, but it's just so damn broken. There's bugs that outright crash the game involved with it, certain NPC's just won't talk to you- real game breaking stuff. It feels like if a little more work was put into it the quest could of been fantastic. The sad thing is, the quest isn't a main one but it has more depth than some of the main story line quests. It's quests like these that really make the game feel unfinished in places.

Oh, and here's the video.


Tuesday 26 June 2012

Rayman Origins Part 15

Hey everybody, Rayman Origins part 15 is ready, we open the episode with a really bad designed tricky treasure- it's all in the shade. As of yet though, we've only got 3 different types of skins, Rayman, Globox and the guy we've lovingly named peon. Thing is though, there's 4 of us- so we're either going have two Raymen..? Two Globox's or two peons. We would with the double peon, so Rick & Jordan sometimes get mixed up, but when they can only see their outlines it's WAY harder. A pretty bad design choice in our mind. Further more, this episode and the next one are pretty sour, we're in the level we feel is the worst in game, the music isn't interesting, the angry birds are rage inducing- and the only redeeming feature is handy Andy, you might need to check the video out for that reference...

Sunday 24 June 2012

Multiplayer Challenge: Soul Calibur 2

Hey guys, at the time of writing this we've finished up the first season of multiplayer challenges. Something we had decided a while ago, but I believe we haven't told you about, is that the winner gets the choose the first game of the next season- and the game can also be a game we've played before, in a normal circumstance we wouldn't repeat a game. So, we all know who has won the finale, but we've yet to decide what he will choose. However, that's all in the future for you guys- and with that, we'll leave you with our latest video, Soul Calibur 2!

Friday 22 June 2012

Oh Rayman, you're so forgotten- oh and Fallout.

Hey guys, it's that time of the week again where we forget to post Rayman and give you all a double whammy of videos! This time the guy that sorts all the posting and social media stuff out (Nick if you hadn't guessed) had a bit of emergency hospital trip he had to make, everything is running smoothly now though. So this episode of Rayman- that's episode 14 by the way- we start to get into some serious infighting. These long sessions get the better of us sometimes, watching them back it's funnier than we remember it being, but it's still not the quality of video we'd like to constantly put out. Hope you enjoy it none the less!


Episode Twelve of Fallout: New Vegas, and yes Devyn will continue to say it in different and even more ways to annoy Nick. This episode marks the first hand drawn physical plan that we follow, to the point where this episode was recorded twice, and for the better I think. This episode turned out pretty well, we got everything done that we wanted to do and we think we managed to do some pretty interesting stuff along the way.

Wednesday 20 June 2012

Fallout: New Vegas Part 11

So, this episode we finally obtain the item we've been promising you guys for a while- it's worth the wait we promise. We also recover two more snow globes and pay Mr. House a visit. Nick would like to talk about Mr House here, but we're going to wait until we finish up the LP before we sum up our feelings on the game- we can give you a spoiler though- Nick doesn't like him.


Tuesday 19 June 2012

Rayman origins part 13

This episode of Rayman: Origins is the beginning of the end, we start to hate on each other something chronic- these extended recording sessions tend to sour us up sometimes, usually off camera. Sadly, though, this episode catches it on camera. A couple of episodes down the line fall victim to the same problem (as we record a couple of episodes in one run) but we're learning from our mistakes, and we've refined the recording/break/recording model we've been using. When we're old and grizzled at this whole video business we're pretty sure the murder will only happen outside of recordings.

Sunday 17 June 2012

Rayman origins part 12 and Destruction Derby 2!

We had a bit of a mishap with releasing the videos on time, Rayman sort of fell through the cracks. Sorry about that guys, we do our best to make sure our content gets to you when we said it would, and for the most part it does. We hope you can forgive us, here's a double whammy of videos to help nurture that sweet sweet forgiveness.

Fallout: New Vegas Part 10

Hey guys, episode ten is up. You may notice the blog has changed its stripes ever so slightly, another of the little changes we're making- hope you guys like the new design. A change will soon be coming to the splash screen at the end of our videos too, hope it all looks a little classier.

In this episode, we whisper louder than we talk, deal with the Omerta's- where Nick is very wrong a great deal of times (we're informed he hopes this isn't a start of a LP trend) and solve a few problems the Helga way. Stay tuned for the entire video for a little outtake! Enjoy.

Fallout: New Vegas Part 9

Hey guys, the latest episode of Fallout: New Vegas is now live! At this point in the game, you resolve, what we consider to be the main quest hook- as I believe we discuss, in either this episode or next. After you've dealt with Benny, the game kinda doesn't really give you much of a reason to do anything else. There's some fun stuff out there to do, and we'll do our best to pick it all up- but in terms of story progression- Helga just wouldn't care beyond killing Benny.

Rayman Origins part 11

Rayman Origins part 11 is now live, we're really starting to regret having to farm all these Elctoons off camera. Next part will be up Thursday!

Multiplayer Challenge: Worms Reloaded!

The next multiplayer challenge has been one of our favoruite games we've played so far, we can promise you it has some pretty funny moments. Part two will be coming Monday, this episode was quite a long one.

Goodbye Jackie!

As anyone reading the Facebook, or following us on Twitter would of seen- we're stopping the "Backseat Gaming" part of our channel. In essence, this means that you'll be getting 2 videos less every month and our multiplayer challenges have been moved to a Sunday, with the next part- if applicable- being released on the Monday. Sadly, this means we won't be able to show you some videos that we thought were pretty funny. Jackie Chan Stunt Master for one. You guys should at least check out the intro "cinematic", Jackie has his face plastered over a 3D model, just like Pierce Brosnan in Golden Eye. Classic.

Anyway, we think is a move that is best for the channel- it just felt like we were finding games for the sake of it, not really enjoying them. As a group, we feel like we should focus more on LP's, with the multiplayer element filling in the gaps. It's a lot harder choosing a game than we thought it would be, and we didn't anticipate the learning curve being quite so steep. So, sadly, we'll be saying goodbye to "Backseat Gaming" to make way for a little rest time for us in between recording and editing, the amount of work and having to cram it all into a weekend is very taxing, more than we thought. The old videos will stay up, but the unreleased ones will never see the light of day.

We're sorry Jackie. Truly.

Fallout: New Vegas part 8 2/2

Here's a little treat for you guys, we had planned for this episode to be released a little later than today. But we fancy being a little bit nice today, and a certain friend of ours threatened to hurt us if we didn't conclude this part. So here it is, have fun!

Fallout: New Vegas part 8 1/2

This episode lasted a lot longer than we expected, we REALLY wanted to get a lot of stuff done in this episode. Consequently, we ran over enough to have to split the episode into two parts. Strangely enough, the editing software Rick uses now won't let him render anything over 30 minutes so even if you guys could stand us for that long- it doesn't look like we'll be able to render anything longer than that. In this episode, we fail at blackjack (never again) Nick mocks Devyn for not knowing the PC controls. If you want to see the really good stuff, you'll just have to watch! On a side note, this episode and a couple after have forced us to write a real physical plan, using the wikia to kill any arguments dead off camera, and generally streamlining the whole experience. We hope it helps!

Rayman Origins part 10- TAKE IT

This episode has by far been one of the most rage inducing and fun we've ever had to record, I don't want to say anything else about it. You just need to see it!

Fallout: New Vegas Part 7

This episode, episode 8 (both parts) and perhaps 9, if memory serves, of fallout may seem a little strange. At this point in the weekend we had all been a little tense with the huge amount of recording we had to do and started to argue on camera and forget to plan. This is what we're more or less like in real life, if you've watched our stream,   we expect you already know that. However, now we're backed up in videos for almost a month the level of (so called) professionalism we have will return, plans, less domestics and more!

This episode of Fallout moves the main quest line a little bit forward, and we tackle a couple of hurdles fist first. After all, Helga's MO is pretty much punch first, and what the hell are questions?

Rayman Origins Part 9

This episode of Rayman Origins is the first to experience one of our planned changes for our channel in general, we've ditched the into music- so we can get into the action just a little bit faster. We've got a couple more changes, they're going to take a little longer to implement, but we hope when they do come along you'll enjoy them. As we've become more and more aware of the learning curve of running a YouTube channel, and the various social networking business along the way, we've changed a couple of things behind the scenes to try and make our channel stand out amongst the the vast sea of other YouTubers. We're slowly getting subscribes here and there and we feel confident our videos are improving, let us know by hitting that sweet sweet like button!

Rayman Origins will be coming to a end in the next month or so, we sense we're not far from the end- stay tuned to see what game we'll be playing next! Also, as a little side note- Ricks decided to steam LoL less, maybe even stop it entirely. Let us know if this isn't a change you guys want and we'll address the issue accordingly. Thanks for watching!

Let's do the time warp again.

This weekend was a pretty intense recording session, we managed to record 3 weeks of Rayman, 3 weeks of Fallout and as I've said before, we're recorded up to the finale of the first season of the multiplayer challenge part of our channel. Suffice to say, we're all exhausted- and Rick doesn't even get a chance to relax as he has to do a massive edit storm to keep the videos coming. We've had a couple of revaluations in terms of how our videos are produced, we're really trying hard to stand out in the YouTube community- and a big part of that is professionalism, we're going to make a few-secret- changes. We hope they allow our channel to grow and improve, that's all for now- look out for our next video coming this Tuesday!

Multiplayer Challenge: Samurai Showdown III

We always enjoy our multiplayer challenges, admittedly some more than others It's not really to do with not liking the game, we wouldn't play a game if we didn't think it had a chance- but sometimes the recording sessions can get a little long, the room hot etc- but this time, we had a great time & we aim to transfer this kind of energy to all of our videos.

So just like Tekken, we've recorded a bouns video. We have never played this game before, it was suggested to us by a friend, and we had a lot of fun with it. FYI, at the time of posting, we're all recorded up to the final episode and the we promise the last episode will be one we have wanted to do for a long time. This game contains some pretty awesome samurai's, flashing images, and a wizard- it does get pretty crazy.

Fallout: New Vegas Part 6

So, at the start of this LP- only Devyn & Nick were 100% sure they wanted to do it. Jordan & Rick, not so much. Rick dubbed this, and Fallout: 3 a "walking simulator" and that is a perfectly valid criticism. We've mentioned a few times already how the game could be improved by little details, a Shadowmere, more than one way to open a door etc. After looking back at these videos, there's one improvement we haven't directly discussed- but has proven itself to be needed none the less, a new engine. Seriously, not until we Sykrim was released did we see the back end of the Gamebryo engine. It's been used on Morrowwind, Oblivion, FO3 & FONV- and a lot of stuff in between, and one or two before. I hope the next Fallout uses what Skyrim had, or perhaps something better? Old news is old though, AMIRIGHT?

Rayman Origins Part 8

Rayman Origins part 8 is here, it had been a while since we'd played this game- we were a little rusty. But, we're sure you guys will still enjoy what we have for you. We've got a bit of an extreme recording session coming up this weekend- we'll try and keep you updated if anything interesting goes down or any major decisions come up.

Fallout: New Vegas Part 4

Hey guys, Fallout: New Vegas part 4 has just been released, unfortunately not much really happens in this episode- truth be told we could of used some editing magick here to speed everything up, but we wanted to give you guys a true or more or less true representation of Fallout- and walking and selling junk is a large part of that.
Sadly, sometimes you just don't get anything done in Fallout- see you guys next time.
