Let's Play: Rome 2 - Egypt Campaign (Legendary) - Part 1: "Ptolemaic Enlightenment"
We assume control of the crucible that shall forge the greatest, most prosperous and most advanced technological empire the world has ever seen. The speed of our tech rush will exceed even the magnitude of our pyramids. My second solo campaign in Rome 2. I am playing with the usual setup - max everything: max difficulty (legendary), max graphics, max unit size, full 1080p. In the Rome campaign, I sort of knew what I was doing. This time.. I REALLY do. I finally have a cogent and coherent plan and the means to achieve it, this should be awesome. ------------------------ Facebook (Polls, announcements, Q & As) http://www.facebook.com/Volound Steam Group (Bulletins, in-game support e.g. Total War clans) http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Volound Subscribe (for moar) http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=volound Twitter (youtube's subscription service is shoddy and unreliable, use this if you subscribed) https://twitter.com/Volound- published: 15 Sep 2013

A Treatise On Rome 2 - Part 1
A Treatise On Rome 2 - Part 1
At first I just wanted to do a straight-forward all-encompassing review in the traditional sense ..but the more I researched and reflected and thought.. the more I compared what we have to what we were promised and expected, the more I realised the kind of video I had to make. I made this piece for the people like me - the disappointed fans. I mostly just said what I thought had to be said. It was somewhat cathartic to make - hopefully hearing what I have to say will be as well. Sources used: That dreadful first 30 mins of Rome 2, where all my hopes and dreams were dashed on the rocks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8pSlSXf4L4 The "elevationgate" test footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9LkcqH4sgM The AI snake oil footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWwr1D84VEM The possibly Elevationgated general AI showcase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_9qkAC4b5c The Rome 1 footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgQo5_1AqJ4 This isn't an orthodox review, but then, Rome 2 is not an orthodox game and its launch was pretty much unique. If you want a quick overall review in the traditional sense, you're probably better first watching the "Rome II Angry Review": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_QK-lcW8a8" ..and then coming back if you want more. If you want an extremely in-depth review of the game mechanics (the part of the game that I care about the most), you're probably better off watching the "Sane Critique, Why Rome 2 Failed": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXkWfEIALxM ..and then coming back if you want more. Part 1 covers the overall condition of the game, and pans over to the AI. Part 2 will cover immersion. P.S. Let me know if you agree with my conclusions. I think I was fair. Nothing I said was not well thought out, researched and considered. I don't think I was harsh. I don't hate CA. I know for a fact that a lot of the people at CA are (OR WERE) passionate and capable. I think they were just denatured by pressure. Special thanks to CosmicContrarian.

Battlefield 4 - 472,650 Score (32-2 on Golmud Railway)
Battlefield 4 - 472,650 Score (32-2 on Golmud Railway)
The apex of my several-month-culminations of cross-map spawnsniping. This is probably the end of the line - an insane score round. The only way I could top something like this would be to just do it again and get a higher score. 41,975 base score. 78,775 total round score. Double exp weekend. 200% extra exp boost. 78,775 score * 600% = 472,650 score This is a completely "natural" and "organic" match. No ridiculous planning was required. No glitching. No boosting. No priming of medals like you see in other "high score" videos. All the score was earned during the round. Nothing stopped me from doing this consecutively except from my performance in the round and the next, in that sense this is a completely unplanned and legitimate high scoring round, possibly the highest there is. Note that this is not my highest ever round, I've had nearly 44k before. I just didn't have the doubling of exp from the double exp event, so the score was considerably lower. I show the WHOLE round to be transparent, to show EXACTLY what I do. The action begins at around 3:00. There are long periods of scorelessness. This strategy is very sensitive to conditions and circumstances. ------------------------ Facebook (Polls, announcements, Q & As) http://www.facebook.com/Volound Steam Group (Bulletins, in-game support e.g. Total War clans) http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Volound Subscribe (for moar) http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...

Let's Play: Banished (Hard/Harsh) - Part 1: "A Fresh Start"
Let's Play: Banished (Hard/Harsh) - Part 1: "A Fresh Start"
"Banished" is a 2014 city-building, survival strategy game. It was developed by a single person over the course of 3 years and is one of the most interesting indie titles to emerge recently (that's my opinion obviously, what else would it be?). The only objective of the game is merely to survive. You start with a dozen or so citizens who have recently been "banished".. exiled from their hometown. Starvation, hypothermia and natural disasters are some of the constant threats that you need to beware of and safeguard against. It is very easy for a single mistake or overlooking to result in a ghost town. I will attempt to steer my band and cart towards a bustling, stable metropolis of 1000 citizens. If I am successful, I may push to see just how far I can go.. I am playing on hard/harsh/large/valleys with a pseudo-random map seed: https://www.facebook.com/Volound/posts/682504348459979?comment_id=6747223 Hard means initial starting conditions are really bad. Harsh means the winters are long and brutal. Valleys is arguably the easier of the two settings, but I want as much of dat lebensraum as possible. Likewise for large. Max graphics settings and 1080p.

SCAN & Intel Invitational Rome 2 Tournament: Volound vs. Point Man - Battle 1
The first battle of the semi-final of the tournament. I am playing against Point Man, who is a tournament player. If I win this battle, I am in a good position to make it to the final and by doing so, guarantee second place. If I lose, I give myself another mountain to climb. I decide to bring out the big guns and go for the quickest victory of the tournament. "..the pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless. If it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it or the wise make plans against it." - Sun Tzu (In case it isn't clear, Point Man initially took what happened really badly, but we've since kind of talked about it and are on friendly terms, it isn't a big deal.) "With the release of Total War: Rome II last month, we have been excited to follow the many streamers and youtubers and watch them produce high quality content. That's why we have decided to dedicate the next edition of our successful SCAN Invitational to this new game! We have invited 16 Total War: Rome II community members to fight to the death in a single elimination bracket format. As an extra incentive, we have added a £1.000 prize pool to be distributed among the top three players. This tournament is made possible by the great support of both SCAN Computers and Intel! The tournament will take place this weekend from 12th to 13th October, both times starting at 14:00 CET." http://www.team-dignitas.net/scaninvtotalwar http://cups.team-dignitas.net/cup/rankings.php?id=53 ------------------------ Facebook (Polls, announcements, Q & As) http://www.facebook.com/Volound Steam Group (Bulletins, in-game support e.g. Total War clans) http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Volound Subscribe (for moar) http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...

SCAN & Intel Invitational Rome 2 Tournament: Volound vs. DiplexHeated - Battle 3
The tiebreaker. If I am going to fuck around in this tournament, it is not going to be here. Victory here means I progress to the semi-final to face Point Man. Victory here gives me the chance to fight for money and a place in the final, and to use my monstrous builds against the only opponent in the tournament that I actually want to beat for its own sake. If I lose, I go out in the second round of the tournament after besting only one opponent. It all starts here, though. I bring a "safe" build that is very similar to the first one I brought against DiplexHeated. This time, I have slightly less cavalry, and some infantry where before there were none.

SCAN & Intel Invitational Rome 2 Tournament: Volound vs. DiplexHeated - Battle 1
The first battle of the second tie of the tournament, which is the second round/quarter finals. I am playing as Rome and bring (I think) the same army as I did in the last battle. I have no idea what Diplex is going to bring, but I am quite sure that I can handle whatever he brings with my infantryless cavalry/skirmishing army. I was wrong and I was countered.. in perhaps the only occasion of the whole tourmanent. This video also has the stream + chat, recorded courtesy of CosmicContrarian.
