Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Noobface – five hours! To hell and back with any concept of dinner, or breaks 😛 In fact I was cooking some food during this; but I didn’t let it interfere too much.

Highlights to follow!

Borneo #1:

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio – well, we said we’d invade the continent… so we took a job from Aberdeen to Plymouth. TAKE THAT EUROPE.

Aside from some initial wheel problems, and some connections problems a third of the way in it was a fairly uneventful trip!

(Apologies for the quality, had the wrong codec selected in OBS)

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – hoo boy, this was a struggle. The lack of choke points coupled with my rustiness made for a real uphill struggle. Of course in my view that made the victory seem all the sweeter!

(Apologies for the quality, had the wrong codec selected in OBS.)

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – another attempt! We are improving, but holding off until the end is still quite tricky.

Highlights:

6:30 Patently unnecessary friendlysandbag destruction
7:15 Machinegunner dance
