Skyrim is stupidly fun

2011-11-14T16:24:00.001-08:00

Sent to kill bear at someones home. Attacked by a dragon on the way. "thank fuck there's the house I can take cover." Bear is INSIDE the fucking house, shit pants and run out. Bear follows. Accidentally cast command animal on bear. It turns around and mauls home owner. Dragons gone, kill bear hand in quest. Get 150 gold for my troubles. Such is life as bosmer.

WTF is going on with that guy?

maceron does BF3

2011-11-08T14:46:00.000-08:00

First Battlefield 3 Live commentary :D After a 6 hour BF3 binge last night, I finally remembered to record some gameplay. This was one of those matches, although not a lot happened it was a fun round none the less. Also having a good amount of left over clips, I'm going to compile them all into one video as some of the rounds weren't as exciting as the others.

After god knows how long, I have finally discovered that there is in fact a blogger app.
Late to the party but here is the first mobile blog post :D

Muscle memory practice

2011-11-04T17:03:00.000-07:00

If you play RTS games, these little exercises may or may not come in handy for FPS games. Feel free to experiment with them, personally I find them useful for trying new mouse sensitivities.

Using old gameplay footage to improve

2011-06-06T17:50:00.000-07:00

So maybe you've hit a slump, keep dying due to bad decisions or generally falling prey constantly to the opposing team.
What do you do to end this slump and get back into winning form?
This video talks about using old gameplay footage to improve, discover new tactics and learn from past mistakes.

Halo Reach: Target Pratice v1

2010-09-30T03:19:00.000-07:00

Playing PC fps then trying a console fps can be quite different, the most obvious difference being the controls. The latter being the main issue for me, I took action and decided to make a little map to practice and warm up on before going online.
This map is avaiable on the Halo Reach file share (map name: Target practice v1)

Battlefield Bad Company 2: M1 vs M14

2010-08-28T18:05:00.000-07:00

Someone requested a video of the M1 Garand, and since I kind of half arsed the M14 video, I made a dual tutorial/comparison video.

And now to make up for my incoherent mumblings, I've added subtitles :D

This video is mainly aimed at those who haven't unlocked either of these guns, although players already used to them may (or may not) find some useful info from this.
The M1 Garand and M14 are pretty much identical, with the exception of the M14 having an extra 2 bullets.
Damage wise, the most shots you'll need to kill someone is around about 4-6 or 3-4 if using magnum ammo.
Also note that range plays a big part in how many bullets you'll need, but as general rule of thumb with any gun in this game...
Closer you are, the less shots you need.

Using the G3

2010-08-25T14:06:00.000-07:00

About time I made a video using the G3.

It's a a blown up MP5 that breaks people.....quickly.

Being able to kill in 4-6 shots and 3-4 with magnum ammo, makes this gun lethal in the right hands...that is if you can handle the recoil.

I am no means an expert with the gun but the video below will hopefully give you a quick insight to using the weapon and handling the recoil by pulling down your mouse when firing and shooting in small bursts.

Oh and I shoot the wall a lot to give you people an idea on spray patterns.

This gun kicks like a mule.

I love it.

2010-07-31T17:07:00.000-07:00

In this video I was in a team that was getting held back way too much at the home base.
So I attempted to push out and flank the enemy team and steal points A and B (mostly A)
in an attempt to bring the game back in our favour....we got raped needless to say :( lol.
Wish they took the KDR out of games, then hopefully people will then have to go and at least try and go for objectives.

M14 Review with tips

Having trouble aiming with the M14? Check out the video below.

Bad Company 2: Some M14 Tips

2010-06-04T16:49:00.000-07:00

The gun everyone seems to hate, although personally I like it.
Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment as it's proved difficult to use but in the end, I can honestly say that its been worth it :)

Just remember, it's a marksman rifle, not an assault rifle in this game.

Play slow and steady, and use cover effectively while attacking at distances.
