A good long session of Rocket League – don’t ask how long the upload took! – but as ever my first question is “uhhhh, how do I play this game again?”. We’ll see how accurate that is! An early win streak turned against us, as it eventually does.

There are as ever at this level (semi-pro, not in the ranked leagues) an abundance of mistakes; but with practice comes improvement, as the series will come to show.

Highlights:

4:07 3-0 down, what to do…
8:00 How will overtime end?
10:03 The theft!
11:45 Cleared the ball… and the defender
13:40 Teeing it up
29:34 1-2-Lob
56:55 2-0 down, what to do…
1:10:05 bertieb ‘scores’ a ‘reversing goal’
1:12:15 Three in quick succession
1:15:45 Punish them for scoring!
1:19:45 Punish these same guys for scoring again!
1:42:40 Costello sneaks one in
1:58:05 Costello makes a last-ditch save
2:16:15 Some great cooperative teamplay on display
2:19:50 4-2 down, what to do…
2:30:00 bertieb wins the ‘Good Gportsmanship’ trophy
2:37:50 Same again!
2:39:40 Costello scores a bicycle goal!
2:42:12 Costello finishes off a bertiederp

Rocket League is still great fun! We are improving – getting less scrappy, more composed, better ball control – allegedly, but so are our opponents. Feel free to skip right past the bit where we lose 9-0…

Highlights:

4:25 Two early goals! (Costello can’t believe the first one)
12:10 Silky dribbling
20:45 Go for the lob!
28:45 Enforced errors 😀
33:10 Hit ’em on the break
34:10 Nice air by the opposition!
46:30 This game hates bertieb’s air jumps
53:45 ‘Worst Player’ lives up to his name (he actually wasn’t terrible)
1:12:50 bertieb scores a couple lucky goals

Rocket League is great fun, and to prove it, here are some highlights from our second session! (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIK33rCR4HY for the full thing)

Bear in mind this is our second-ever session (for me, bertieb) anyway when considering the quality.

So this was my first play of Rocket League (http://rocketleague.psyonix.com/) – it’s a great fun game, as you can tell by our enjoyment 😛 Co-op is definitely the way to go with this- partly for co-ordination, mostly for hilarity!

15:30 Costello hurls himself at the ball for a last minute goal, which we don’t get… or do we??
26:30 In this match bertieb is the Assist King (well, not really, more of an Assist Count)
29:15 “Just trying to keep it in…”

32:30 I wanted that goal!
36:30 Clutch save from Costello!
39:00 Nice tackle!
1:01:45 Playing it cool… or not
1:06:30 First hat trick!
1:16:30 Costello hits them on the counterattack
1:32:15 Yes… yes… YE- NOOOO
1:33:15 Best start
1:40:15 “NOOOOOOO!… I knew exactly what I was doing.”
