On Gaming and Nerdery

So, we go from humble request to "do this or die."

So, in addition to starting that YouTube account, I also started a blog to follow that YouTube account. So what I'm going to say to all of you is: follow my escapades on YouTube or die. Also, share it around or die.

Seriously, though, my circles are a bit on the small side, particularly in gaming (got a lot when it comes to politics...but not too many gamers there), so I'd really like to have your help if/when you are able.

So...the blog: http://gamingnnerdery.blogspot.com/
And the YouTube Channel, which is in the other thread: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0CvM-QkFIdZGZ07CdJWO-Q

And I'll probably update this thread when I do something interesting on either.

So, while I was editing some of my recent recordings, I realized that my Space Pirates and Zombies episodes actually created a bit of an impromptu three-parter.  So, here's the first part as shown on the blog:

And...well, here it is for ease of access:

I've been rather busy of late trying to set up a more proper apparatus for the gamery, geekery, and nerdery. Hence being both slow in posting here and the gaps in updating there. Rather than tell you everything here, I'll just direct you to the central source of information: http://gamingnnerdery.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-few-announcemnents.html

If you subscribed to my personal channel, I'd be really appreciative if you'd subscribe to the new one. I'd also appreciate any sharing you could do.

So, guess what everyone?

I know which one of you haven't subscribed to the new channel among those who subscribed to the old one!

Also, the next episode of Third Age: Total War is go. I'd explain things here, but then you wouldn't have a reason to click the link: http://gamingnnerdery.blogspot.com/2013/12/silvan-elves-2-first-blood.html

I don't have a youtube account or anything so can't blame me .

I've been watching your videos when I'm awake enough to pay attention.

Guess what, everyone?  It's Christmastime in the Milky Way!

Just got into this again, really enjoying the Third Age mod. Actually started to download M2 again so I can give it a whirl when I am done with Skyrim (again).

I'm on TATW as well have been since the beta. Awesome game but my lingering hatred of the culture recruitment system has survived. It's a pain in the backside.

Eh, it can be annoying when you're advancing, but I think it's otherwise tolerable.

Ok, Third Age is now downloading, decided to go for the Forgotten Realms of Gathered Submods instead of Massive Overhaul Submod.

Do you recommend getting anything else?

Thinking I might try the Dwarves (yeah I just saw The Hobbit, and what?)

Mmm...can't think of anything else, myself.

Have fun with the dwarves! I haven't played them yet simply because their low marching speed doesn't match my play style too well.

Hey, guess what everyone?  I've finally started doing something for On Gaming and Nerdery that it's needed for a long time.

Because G&N needed more Pendor.

Now if you'll pardon me, I'm going to curl up in a corner in shame for shamelessly shilling for myself.



...I also still need a thumbnail, but I just haven't gotten any in-game footage that scream "Pendor!!!!!11!" yet.

Dunno if you're familiar with World of Warcraft, and Nobbel87's channel. (he's the guy with the awesome lore vids and dutch accent)

You read the walls of text really fast and if I didn't have them printed on my mind's eye already I'd have some trouble keeping up. Though I'm not sure if that's just something for us non native english speakers. It takes away from the experience of Pendor, because the lore is, imho, still one of the best, if not the best, feature of the mod.

Nobbel87 tries to make it more of a story and that makes it a very easy sit-through as opposed to the vid you posted above, which is a bit too fast.

Despite that, I very much like that you're doing a PoP feature.

Yeah...I talk fast and enunciate poorly, it's northeastern US thing. Even when I think I'm going more slowly...I'm not. :/

I would like to give the playthrough a more narrative feel, but that tends not to happen simply because I like to talk about the mod and its features and it tends to distract me from any potential storytelling. It's sort of like I can only focus on one at the expense of the other.

Thanks for giving it a try, anyway.

Added to my "Watch Later" list. I've got a significant backlog of EU4 playthroughs that I've been watching (the developers have a massive 30 player multiplayer game going on which is pretty awesome). Once that's done, I will get back to catching up on OGAN.
