Friday Film: There and Back Again
Despite being really quite busy, I have actually managed to get in quite a bit of Massive gaming this week. My statement earlier this week about AoC, despite the kudos, mentally prompted me to return to the game with a vengeance. I’ve got a video of my escape from Skullcrusher Mountain the early-game volcano, where the hilarious “Virgin Blood swap” happens. I’ve also got a video teasing a post I’ll have on Massively next week, looking into the game Silk Road Online. This free to play game is surprisingly fun, with a number of interesting game mechanics. Remember that bit about Eastern games coming in and eating the Western folks’ lunch? Yeah, this game is hella interesting.
To complete this bevy of YouTube footage, a two part piece showing our second go at Archeadas, the end boss in Uldaman. Unfortunately I let Brendan die near the end of the event, so it wasn’t as ‘perfect’ as our first go. I take total responsibility, I was distracted by an add and didn’t pay enough attention to the Mage’s health bar.
Of course, the game I probably played the most of this week (Warhammer Online) isn’t exactly going to show up in one of these Friday Film bits. Just the same, with luck I’ll have some footage to show on MV. I’ll be sure to link that beautiful imagery when I can. Read on below the cut for the videos and some shots from my week in gaming.
