A trip down Memory Lane: XCOM 2

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In a fully professional and “non-edited to remove all the cock-ups which occurred before the cropping here….. cough…..livestream” here from Twitch, we happily go back to XCOM 2: War of the Chosen to relive some of Central’s happy go lucky days in-between the events of XCOM1 and 2, the reboots of the original XCOM made by Firaxis games. Called the Tactical Legacy Pack, this new DLC was free to anyone who already had War of the Chosen. So what more of an excuse did we need to go back to XCOM?

Marvel at the level of success and failure during the livestream and then wonder where all the time went! Want to see a battle with zombies, snakes and mud monsters galore? Then this livestream has it all!

Also, it becomes so damned obvious that we really shouldn’t reveal too much of the map so soon when it comes to playing the game and Overwatch is still by and far your best friend.

Hearthstone Happy Hour: The “Messing Around with Shadow” Edition

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In the first of a few livestream attempts of using a new game streaming service, tonight’s Hearthstone happy Hour takes us back to an earlier time, when we all enjoyed playing with Webspinners all night long no matter what in this week’s repeat Tavern Brawl.

Randomness and losing are all on show, but the main thing was to try to begin with to see if using a Virtual Machine based in a datacenter in France for gaming was indeed a viable solution for those of us who want to game on the latest stuff without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a decent gaming PC.

So Shadow kindly allowed me a month to test out their service in a variety of situations and devices and this was the first one. There will be many more to come over the next month on Shadow so stay tuned, if only to see me game badly and then blame something else for it! Like my still lingering cold and sore throat…..

Venom…. The Aftermath…..

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In the first Aftermath video of October 2018, I finally sit my bottom down in the cinema to watch Sony’s latest Marvel spin-off project, Venom. Albeit with a dodgy nose and sore throat.

Given this will not feature anyone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe like they have now done with Spiderman to great acclaim, and of course they would have to redo everything to ensure it all worked standalone, how would the wisecracking, head eating symbiote from space get along with Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock?

Does it have enough by itself to succeed or will the difference once Marvel isn’t involved be too much? Only one way to find out….

Demo from Beyond the Stars! Between the Stars actually…..

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

To celebrate hitting 50 subscribers on both Twitch and Youtube which then for some reason meant I became a proper gaming channel person type thing, I played through a demo of Beyond the Stars by Isolated Games after their producer Alex Poysky sent a message on the new site I was apparently accredited on to have a butchers at the demo being used for a Kickstarter right now.

You can find the Kickstarter here: https://kck.st/2R3oBDG

In this video, you can see me here be an utterly terrible Captain Janeway type, and possibly do the worst female voice you will ever hear when it comes to reading text said by someone called Susan.

In keeping with the Gaming Car Crash tradition, It all becomes a series of naughty jokes with people joining the livestream but damn if it wasn’t all jolly good fun!

Hearthstone Happy Hour: The “Going to EGX 2018” Edition

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In this edition of the Hearthstone happy Hour live streamed on Twitch, Youtube and Mixer, we felt the cold touch of Arthas again as Blizzard celebrated the one year anniversary of “Knights of the Frozen Throne” with a themed tavern Brawl and two additional quests giving away lots of gold!

There was also some news regarding future stuff coming to the game, so obviously I had to make your ears bleed about all that stuff in between talking to people on the livestream chat. Enjoy!

EGX 2018: The Indie Game Bit

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

So after all the queues etc of big games, I decided bigger all that and go play around some smaller titles. Remarkably, best decision made! Picked up one of the games too as a result of trying it here today too as it’s on Steam Early Access. Grip Combat Racing was a blast and as a result of spending time with Matt from Wired Productions, I bought it! A point and click adventure, and some nonsense about a couple of Sega titles round off this second video from EGX 2018….. Enjoy!

EGX 2018 Day 2: Metro Exodus

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

After a very long wait to play a short demo, finally can say something about Metro Exodus which was one of the main reasons for coming here…. And I don’t really have much to say it seems. I know more about Victor Vran on the Nintendo Switch now because of the queuing so far….. The video can be viewed here also directly if the above doesn’t work; https://youtu.be/KccoP0PptqA

EGX 2018 from a seedy hotel room…..

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

It was Day One of EGX 2018 for this old fart so what better thing to do on a Saturday night than to talk into a smartphone about the afternoon spent at the Gaming Expo? Only got three games in and even then, only remember two of their names…. Not really cut out for this am I?

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Welcome campers to Part 2: Electric Boogaloo of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Livestreaming!

In this livestream, as well as seeing how well the PC version still holds of for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, we also see a few silly things happen involving a random village, The Lord of Leisure being completely made to look thicker than the village idiot with a door puzzle and more Lady Rambo stabby stabby, shooty shooty bang bang!

Catch all the action here and then join us back for Part 2 (the complete livestream, not cut from Twitch as what happened during the broadcast.)

Shadow of the Tomb Raider 1: Lara chuffed it up!

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In what became a rather extended Let’s Play type thing, I battle against the forces of meh as Lara Croft, or Lady Rambo as I ended up calling her after a while. Or was that the second livestream? Oh yeah, this is only Part 1 after all, and Part 2: Electric Boogaloo will be put live on YouTube soon.

In this livestream, as well as seeing how well the PC version holds of for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, we also see a few silly things happen involving a cake knife and Lara apparently maybe possibly causing a whole village to be flooded. Maybe….. Ish….

Catch all the action here and then join us back for Part 2 (the complete livestream, not cut from Twitch as what happened during the broadcast.)
