Ok guys, so... I'm getting a bit bored by this game, lately. You know, not much to do that has not been done before, nothing new coming out... The usual.

So I thought that I might start something up, trying to find some interest in playing this game once again.

At first I thought about doing some solos, but it always ends up the same way... With me getting bored pretty fast. I'm not that much into solos. I much prefer full team gameplays - it's just that much better to me, that much more fun.

So I thought that I might be better off recording full team gameplays. But I've seen lots of pug videos and, quite honestly, they're not much interesting. What is interesting, to me, is watching vids of games full of bsners and good players, where the team tries its best to go fast and make the game as smooth as possible. I'm not talking about speedrunning, mind you, just an easy, relaxed and standard game with some competent friends.

So this is what I thought l'd settle for. I might play normal games with lobbies full of friends and bsners, and record the gameplay in a series of vids called "A day in the life of a DrellGod". This will also give me the chance to showcase how I make some characters work, and hopefully to help some newcomers finding their own way to use them. Because quite honestly, I've been seeing a surprisingly big amount of new players hanging around here, and they're mostly (not surprisingly) unexperienced and have quite... Strange opinions. Hopefully their opinions will be a bit more informed after watching some of these vids, and they might find out how different is the gameplay in a full, competent team rather than in a pug one.

So my bsn friends, I'd like to know what you think about this. Would this be interesting to you? Would you be watching the vids? Would you be willing to help me record these by taking parts in the matches? Do you have any suggestion/criticism? Basically, any thought on the matter is appreciated! :)

Sure, why not.  Just rocket some swarmers when you get the chance.

Will there be crushing and driving of enemies, and possibly the lamenting of women?

And I'd watch you play any characters, but starting with Harrier Scrub is good. Also I can play the role of pug #1 where I go down repeatedly every wave.

 Sure, I'll bring my melee volus. :P

Or we could do some all drell games. Not many people like to play them (especially off-host), so it might be good to showcase just how powerful they are. Also, drell games are fun.

I would love that! As a relatively new player I will gladly take all the info on how to play I can get :) I also imagine it to be very entertaining to watch some "elite" players ;)

My scrubtastic ways are at your disposal, if you want 'em.

I'm also interested because I've never touched my drell characters and never got a chance to actually sit down to figure them out. So, your advice in the form of entertaining vids would be much appreciated!

I'd definitely like to watch those vids, sounds good.
Also, if BSN would like to chip in and buy me a gaming PC then I would take part too.

I'd rather watch pug videos, videos of a full team of good players are boring cuz nothing interesting happens. =P

Okay guys, given the response, I guess I've made up my mind, and I'm officially going to start this.

Thanks for all the support! 
As soon as I get some time, I'm gonna edit the op with all the info on how it's gonna work :wizard:

Does the Banshee scream count? Cause if it does, then I'm pretty sure there will plenty of it.

I can assure you, there are going to be rage missiles :D

Nope, sorry. Music would make the game sounds weaker and would take away a bunch of the experience.

Commentary... I don't really feel like doing it. Too much work, and I really don't like the sound of my voice :pinched:

But, I am going to write a commentary of the match here, after posting the video, which is going to include how I play that character and why. I'm also going to answer any question you guys will post.

Haha Ghost! ... Who says I don't regularly play in my swimsuit? I consider myself a half fish anyway! :P

I've watched that when Sabre posted it, and stopped the first time I saw you using pull. Why are you posting it here again? To get mocked at?

I wonder if FTFTL can mod his game to restore Pull to the glory that was ME1 Lift?

What would you say if I told you I'm specced out of Cluster nades on my Drellguard right now? :P

Silly and sometimes flatout bad builds are fun too (especially at this point when everything has been done).

Pull is a situational power and a lots of fun to use on unshielded mooks. That is what makes it so rewarding otherwise it would be too easy if Pull worked on shields/barrier.

I'd totally understand. Heck, my volus adept is specced for melee XD But if I were to be recorded playing it that way, I wouldn't go around posting the vid in someone else's thread without any relation, would I? :pinched:

You sure you understand what the word "to mock" means? Cause it cannot be done in a video. At least, not in that video, since it's already been recorded :?
