Month: August 2015

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – due to the nature of the map (broken bridges, choke points) we had it relatively peaceful. This was quite handy as my British play is super-rusty. I didn’t bother to choose a command due to the straightforward nature of the battle… or indecision.

Highlights:

30:15 Tactical tank retreat
32:50 A footbridge collapsing destroys vehicles parked in the vicinity

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

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Noobface – back for a quick session of the ever-amusing Dying Light. This was slightly marred by an OBS crash at teh start, so there is a bit of faffing and the first ~30 mins or so of footage was lost. It’s also when I forgot to set the codec.

Still, good fun!

Highlights:

10:15 Saved by the competition
27:45 1001 Banana recipes
36:00 Fire indeed hot
36:30 Excellent pathfinding (watch the sprinting infected in the minimap)
41:15 Dead end swimmery?

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – starting off with a Stonewall that went… well, it went. The following skirmish at St Hilaire (51:30 onwards) was a bit of a slog breaking through, but we got there.

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – following on from the last video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clc8Q5jf7Fo) I got TShock up and running so that we have an actual proper server! Joyous wonder abounds. We ran into a rather fortuitous amount of loot and so forth underground, which came in handy towards the end of the session…

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – Our first attempt at Operation Stonewall. Spoiler: we fail. On many levels. But this is to be expected. We were along the right lines when thinking of specialising, but we need to be better at that and the ever-important micro.

Not highlighted:

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – hoo boy are we ever rusty. We come very close to actually getting wiped out by the combined American+American (oops) Allied side. We held on though – after a small amount of debate over whether to restart – and prevailed for the Axis!
