And as promised!

And I never break promises. Nope, but I know you do. You know what I am talking about, that one thing? Yeah, feel bad now.
This video will be a great change of pace, considering how we haven't had commentary in a while, although it is a little lighter that what I would have liked content wise, Taric usually doesn't have super exciting games oh OH DAMN moments that frequently. I think I have one or two this game, but it's a lot less exciting getting a clutch heal than it is to pentakill the enemy team. Anywho, enjoy and be expecting more!

Wellllll, it's been too busy

Yeah, so I might have totally screwed up and forgotten to upload my videos the past couple of days, but I have been way too damn busy. First, I had to replace the rear struts on my car and that didn't go smoothly at all (still fixing it at the moment), I've been working 9 hours days, which just eats up a lot of daylight, I had to fix my mother's computer (of course she didn't do any data backups and her hard drive was failing, THAT was fun, thank god for linux), and I am finishing a case I am designing for my girlfriend (was saudering some electrical crap because we are doing cold cathodes and UV lights inside it). Long story short, I was really busy and the video slipped my mind. Don't worry, I am doing two new commentary videos for one ranged Hybrid AD/AP champ and one support champ and then will come the gameplay. Until tomorrow, though, you guys will just have to wait in eager antici...... pation.

And for no reason, it seems to work again!

Well guys, after an exciting day of trying to fix my car (still not working right) I am back into the full swing of things and it looks like that I will be able to post from work still. Just had to threaten the computer to get it to work.
Assuming that I am not completely swamping with bullshit after work (still a possibility) I will be having a new champion making his way into my videos soon.
For those who were asking, I am using FRAPS to record my games, and then I use Ultra Video Joiner to compress them into three different videos and, if commentary is needed, I am using Sony Vegas.

I swear I didn't miss a day, you just added one!

Yeah, yesterday was a busy day at work, quite possibly one of the busiest of the year for me, and to make things worse, I wasn't able to access my blog from work, so that meant that I missed a day.
So much... AOE...tankiness.... Oh well, it's still enjoyable for you guys. :P

Egad! It's that short!?

God, you perverts out that really should be ashamed! Anywho, this particular series is only two episodes long, so it's already done! Don't worry, I know you want more Sean Connery, so what I have done is played two different games with him. Our team comp remains the same, but the next team we fight was, well, interesting. Let's just say I was NOT looking forward to playing past the point where everyone was level 6.

Just another Poppy Game... WITH SEAN CONNERY!

Yup guys, it seems that even certain celebrities have fallen under the spell of League of Legends, and I managed to run into one! What, I am just stereotyping an accent and generalizing a group of people? It isn't even the right country? Well, sir, you are just a skeptic!

Oh, and the gameplay is pretty good too. A little rough at some points, but hell, it is a new threes team we just threw together and it is in ranked play. Every team has growing pains.

I can't think of a way to make the title of this post cleaver

See what I did thar? Yeah, it was pretty bad, what can you do, though? The next series has already been recorded and I am in the process up uploading it right now, it is not really special because of the characters chosen, but more so who is playing it. Don't worry, you will see soon enough what I am talking about. :D
Oh, and yesterday I was playing in a game where every single person got double phil stone, just like on my poppy guide, and I was playing Taric. This REALLY pissed me off because the one time I could I countered my build to show you what to do against players like me, I am playing a support champion... Oh well.

Mundo Blogs where he pleases!

Cleaver, Cleaver, Cleaver, Cleaver, Ult. Yup. That is pretty much a Mundo guide. Sometimes, when they try to stun you, you turn on fire. GG. Well, it's not really that simple, but it might as well be when it comes to 3's. I really don't play him much for this reason, because it, well, just isn't fun.
As far as the new videos are coming with new champs, I managed to find a manageable build for lane taric, although it is so similar to poppy it is depressing. What can you do though? After getting whomped in solo queue, I wanted to feel good, so I went to play as poppy in a few 3's games and carried hard. Why is this relevant? Because I actually ran into a player who told me well played, and meant it, even though he lost! Maybe the tribunal is working?

It's a bit early but...

I've already started partying, woo!!!! One of my buddies is getting off early, and I actually have the day off, so that means that I am going to enjoy it as much as I can.
As such, I will be leaving you another older video, but at least it is a new champion, Mundo!

Another series wrapping up here

Ah another series wrapped up. I haven't been gaming much the past couple days, it's been inventory at the store, which means that I got to pull down every box, put as much out as I can, count the box, and stock it as high up as the ladder will take me. It is great exercise, but a tad bit exhausting mentally. After about 25 hours of that nonsense, I am ready to keel over and die. Oh well, not too much longer and it is back to fixing computers and sitting on my ass!
I wanted to give a special thanks to Sqintyeye over at http://sqintyeye.blogspot.com/ for mentioning me as being a super awesome blog. Now I have to actually keep this blog entertaining or I will let him down. :P

Anivia looks conspicuously like a pokemon, just sayin'

I know that is another Pokemon reference, but it is kinda hard to ignore the giant ice bird in the room, especially considering how much of my childhood was Pokemon. I've been playing a little bit of the new champ, Orianna, some Taric, and a mishmash of other champs. So far, it has been interesting, but hopefully I will be able to get a group together to screw around and carry my ass.

As you can see, it goes down that way all the time. :P

Friday, June 3, 2011

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know

You are thinking, damn Xenot, why don't you just put the highlights up, these games are so long! Well, it is because, as a guide, it is pointless to put up little clips and a lot of the humor in a game happens over the WHOLE game, not just in little clips. I have considered putting up highlights, and I still am considering it, but I just feel like it ruins the whole feel of the game. I don't know, maybe there are just too many crowds to cater too and I will just have to choose one.

On a less depressing note, these full 5 premades with constant banter are always entertaining at the least. :P

Man, with this many videos, you wonder if I do anything else in my spare time...

The answer is yes, but I have no idea on how I do it, especially considering that I LOVE to sleep. The good news is that I am working on a new champion right now, although I apparently have a thing for pain in the ass champions who can't farm for crap lately. Well, soon enough I be familiar enough with um to post a video or two  of me getting stomped, but trying valiantly! In the mean time...
Here is an Anivia full premade game series! Woooooo!

When games are so bad you just can't rage

As expected, here is the third and final part of the series. Ya know, though, these games that are full of people who aren't playing the way they are supposed to does shake things up a bit. While you do lose them sometimes, at least it beats the rote repetition of  playing the same champions with the same item builds, etc. It's always nice to spice things up every once and a while, although since I am a try hard, just not too often. :P

Magewick and Friends, A Fail Game on Both Teams Parts

...Part 2.
The nightmare continues. This was one of those games where you swear people were trolls because they were so bad, but somehow... they were serious, and, of course, claiming that they carried the whole game. I don't know, I have my bad games, and I not the best gamer out there, but there are just those games where you wonder what the hell happened to player skill. I know you guys have been there! You think you get magically good, but you just happened upon some of the.. not so skilled players and next thing you know.... GODLIKE!

I am returned

Yup, back from my epic camping excursion, covered with bug bites, several cases of beer later, and many trails hiked. Overall, it was a pretty good experience, but nothing beats coming home to a real bed, a shower, convenient food, and climate control. So, while I am sitting here nursing my wounds from my adventure, I shall continue my blogging experience!
I will post a recent epic fail video where I don't even know how I won, but yeah, bad times all around. I have been thinking of other games I can record and play as well guys, but I don't have a lot of cash to throw around. We will see what happens. :P

A Four Part Series?

Yeah, sometimes my games DO run a little longer than I expect. Only because I want to have that much more fun, not because I suck sometimes. I WANTED to drag it out.... Ahem.
Anywho, I will be camping this weekend, so I might miss one day of posting?! Don't try to talk me out of it, I already have 3 cases of beer and a bottle of vodka for myself!
Oh and my favorite part of this video starts at about 5:30 and goes through 6:30. If you only watch a short part of this clip, which you would regret, that is the part to watch.

Thursday, May 26, 2011

Oh, I know you have been waiting for this one.

Probably not, actually. But maybe one of you guys out there really has been looking forward to the third part of this series? Boring day at work? Girlfriend won't stop talking? Get through the boredom and drone her out with the antics of my exciting video series! 
I promise, violence, profanity, and raging!

Another reason to upload ahead of time

Because sometimes you decide to go out and drink a lot of a certain kind of beverage that leads you to want to sleep away the day. Just glad that I planned ahead!


And so what if it was on a Tuesday night? Every night is a party night!

Whew, gotta do that stuff ahead of time

And I mean AHEAD of time. Each video I upload, averaging 11-14 minutes, takes about 90 minutes to upload to Youtube using my AT&T U-Verse package. It hurts me in my gaming soul. Essentially, if I want to get a video up, I have to upload it the day before because, with work, it really isn't feasible for me to get the videos out before 9 pm. Enough of my griping!
This is another Poppy video, this time in a 5v5, and  is a longer game, 4 videos actually. Still need to get the 4th up (see above reason), but I find this one more entertaining to me. Hope you guys like the newer videos and this guy isn't someone I have had in game with me before. We have fun. :P
Oh, and just for the record, I use Kaspersky Pure for my antivirus. Boot time scans are kick ass (you Avast guys know what I am talking about) and, yeah, I got mine for free. Perks of being a tech and talking to these companies. Really hate the stupid "vulnerabilities scan" though. Basically tried to disable everything on your PC.
