Nazi Punks Fuck Off!
What is your major malfunction, maggot? - Let's Play Half-Life: Opposing Force

Hello everyone! Welcome to my very first let's play: a blind, subtitled run of Half-Life: Opposing Force!

What is Half-Life: Opposing Force?

Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion to the 1998 first-person shooter Half-Life. Rather than taking on the role of protagonist Gordon Freeman, you play the role of marine Adrian Shephard, hence the game's title. Being an expansion pack, it does offer many of the same areas, enemies and events of the original while also also being a shorter title. However, it does also provide unique areas, weapons and enemies not featured in the original title. This game is also historically important for being the first game ever released by Gearbox Software, later known for their masterpieces Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

What is this let's play?

This will be a blind, subtitled let's play. I try to cut out most of the aimless wandering and deaths, though a few are left in if they don't take up too much time. I try to use a mix of some informative notes along with thoughts I had playing and some attempts at humour.

In the first part, we go through the tutorial mission, as well as the first grumblings of the game!

Hey everybody! The OP mentioned something about cutting up a stream which is exactly what I've been doing and then a nice person told me that this might be the thread to go to if I wanted to share that so here I go.



As you can probably tell by the thumbnail I'm taking this whole low effort thing very seriously. I'll probably be doing more of these, so if anybody does happen to like watching them I'd be happy to post those in here as well.

e: Made another one today so I just added that as well.

I vote for fighting bigger creatures. Yeah, people with weapons and armor probably drop more money/vendor trash, but you've already got more than you need, so just work your way up to deathclaws is what I say.

Okay that was more of a major hiatus, but we're back for the second half of Hey You, Pikachu! and what amounts to the boss: Abra's shop.

Also, in case you didn't see it, BrennaOkazaki drew an amazing piece of sleepy Pikachu fanart! She also drew another piece of fanart for Part 8, which I'll post when that goes up next week.

Have you ever thought to yourself: "This adventure game has interesting characters, great dialog and a unique setting, but there just isn't enough singing in it"? Well, Chorus: An Adventure Musical is here to scratch that itch.

This is a proof-of-concept released by Summerfall Studios on itch.io - they are working on a full game, expected sometime in 2021.

Never Leave Sanctuary - Episode 27 is the final episode before venturing out into the wasteland. Should I re-title the series? Should I use quest markers or just wander? Should I even still be doing this? (Too bad, you can't stop me!)

You could turn the now-empty Bar Quarter into an arboretum (full of happy little bushes) to keep its general purpose the same.

Also, absolutely turn off quest markers and wander blindly. If you find quests, try to do them, but keep those markers off.

As for the new title....Always Expand Sanctuary! Every time you blindly stumble across a settlement you have to build at least one thing that reminds you of home, so as to maintain that connection and expand the reach of the Sanctuary Arcology.

One thing I remember about watching my brother play one of the Dead Space games (I don't remember which one) was him shooting/stomping random corpses to pieces because most of them were monsters.

I've never played a Fallout game so I don't know much about them specifically, but you're probably getting a lot of legendary/named enemies because you're level 50 and the level scaling algorithm has decided that these are the only real appropriate foes for you to face. Considering you're largely one-shotting even these guys, the algorithm may need to up its game.

Legendary enemies are usually one per encounter group, and its a random chance of them appearing that I believe isn't tied to level.
E: It is

FO Wiki posted:

The Legendary chance in an encounter below level 5 is zero. >L5 10%, >L20 12%, >L30 15%, >L40 18%, >L50 20%

There are fixed location named legendaries but theyre few and far in between.

However there isnt much that can stand up to a fully upgraded combat shotgun with max ranks in rifleman.

Man, Mr. Abernathy sure was happy to see that pendant returned. Either that or some goon in power armor with a shotgun showed up in his house in the middle of the night and screamed "HEY MR. ABERNATHY CHECK THIS OUT!" right by his bedside.

Apologies for the occasional audio aberrations, apparently RTX Voice thinks my voice is some sort of horrible noise that needs to be processed to oblivion. It's not entirely wrong.

Burnout 2 Crash Mode Part 2: SHOOTING CAR PRESS

More metal-mangling mayhem in Burnout 2's Crash Mode! Despite suggestions to the contrary in this video, I do know the difference between a front flip and a back flip. I also noticed YouTube butchered the quality on the last video, so I've rendered this one at 1440p to mitigate the effects of YouTube's video compression. Not that it helps when YouTube is refusing to process the 1440p version of the video, though... :argh:

These are the only episodes I've recorded so far, but I might record more later.

Hi. Your head's on fire.


Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2, while jank and haven't aged well, are generally liked among Sonic fans. This is the point where people really start to split: Sonic Heroes. While many fans who played it think of it fondly, it's a game where the awkward controls and camera, excess of unwanted characters, and sheer lack of polish really start to hit home. Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 are more infamous disasters, but Heroes is where the hedgehog first lost his footing over that cliff.

This LP is broken down and cleaned up from casual livestreams I did on my Twitch as thanks for my Patreon patrons. Joining me on co-commentary is Mugiwara Yoshi/MugiStraw and JigglyJacob, returning from our previous Sonic streams.

Tail's VA was very clearly trying to channel the voice used in the Sonic animated movie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMp7b732ysY&t=197s

I'd post just a clip, but all results on youtube is either the animated movie, clips of the movie with jim carrey or the satam cartoon.
