A few maps on hard difficulty. Some tinkering with classes went on here; I was mostly levelling Commando and Berzerker, while MaoTheCat was levelling Firebug; Noobface did his duty as SWAT, except when he completely deliberately changed mistakenly to Medic for a high with Hans.
Highlights:
15:15 Volter / Biotics Lab (death is inevitable)
46:30 Volter / Outpost (I blame Noobface)
1:24:30 Scrake does a confused dance
1:52:00 Patriarch / Evacuation Point (Boom)
2:26:30 Volter / Hostile Grounds (Impact damage!)
After many tries, we eventually killed the Patriarch on Volter Manor on hard difficulty. We went through a number of combinations of perks before settling on Medic/Firebug/SWAT/Commando ? Demo.
I also had *way* too much fun with OBS’s new automatic closed-caption feature.
Highlights:
29:00 Death on wave 7/7 (FPs and mobs)
1:01:00 Patriarch appears! (we die)
1:32:00 Death on wave 7/7 (entangled in a doorway)
2:04:30 Patriarch II (courtyarded to death)
Also featuring:
Slugging it out with Kevin and Hans in Paris, Outpost, Farm, Containment station and Prison on Hard difficulty.
Highlights:
32:00 Patriarch on Paris (Fail)
1:05:55 Hans Volter on Outpost (Win)
1:36:10 Hans Volter on Farm (Win – Very Close!)
2:08:00 Hans Volter on Containment Station (Win)
2:44:20 Hans Volter on Prison (Win)

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.

After the chaos – but fun chaos! – that was the first session of Rocket League, we returned with minds a-focused ready to pull off some sweet plays. Well, that was the intention, anyway.
