Bomb Corp Day 2 – Twitch.tv Highlight
Posts which are predominately about a video or a group of videos.
I had the rare opportunity to broadcast a special BWC announcement so I decided to mirror it here.
This has been posted a whole lot. I think the first time this has been mentioned the most was this article from Gizmodo. In any case I am a sharing man, and so I will share what is quite possibly one of the coolest videos for something D&D related I’ve ever seen. In it the microsoft touch surface is used as a board to play D&D. Enjoy
Story Description: After their bid for control of the nation of Kalago has been thwarted by Redoubt and their heroic allies, the Mechanius Imperium focuses its ire squarely upon the forces of Redoubt as First Emperor Surtr declares total war against them.

Designer Notes: Redoubt Operations is a dramatic team-oriented mission arc series following the exploits of Redoubt and their nemesis, the Mechanius Imperium. These two original organizations, set firmly within the City of Heroes universe, are both comprised of robots and androids of all types, but have startlingly different philosophies that set them against each other. Which one will be victorious and influence the minds of machinekind for generations to come, and which will be lost and forgotten, a passing fad of their race’s infancy? Only time will tell.
This arc series aims to provide an interesting storyline that is fun to play through as well as read, to provide players as much fiction as they are willing to read while still keeping the basic plot points succinct enough for even a casual player to be able to follow along, and to always keep the player the main focus of the events in the missions while still expanding on the overall story line.
To accomplish this task the Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe is used extensively to provide information about the different characters involved in the story, form the biggest character to the littlest. Information on the arc series itself is posted there, as well as pages on Redoubt, The Mechanius Imperium, their leaders, their solders, and any other characters or organizations involved.
However to enjoy this arc series reading none of this background information is required. The bare minimum of information in each arc is provided in the enter and exit popups of each mission. More fiction is then provided in conversations with the contact, clues, and dialogue in the missions.
Players will take on the role of villains who have agreed to assist First Emperor Surtr of the Mechanius Imperium in his master plan to take revenge on Redoubt in exchange for “something they desire”.Players will be engaged in such fun tasks as blowing up buildings, kidnapping world leaders, inciting a civil war through fabricated evidence, and crushing the stalwart defenders of peace and prosperity under their heel. Contains two elite bosses and one arch-villain.

What do the Paragonian Knights of Virtue server do when they realize they can sneak their high levels back into Outbreak? Invade it of course. (And /bug it. Definitely /bug it.) Here’s a compilation of footage taken from our fun rampage through outbreak. All Graes were impersonated. No Grae hair was harmed in the filming of this production.
Two music tracks are used in the film. “Wall-E” from the “Wall-E” soundtrack and “Short Hair”, a piece of production music used in every episode of Megas XLR.
The Origin of Kali Erinyes is a scene I did to enhance Kali Erinyes’ Virtue Verse profile. This scene details a small piece of the character’s history when Morrigu and Alecto were forcibly turned into Kali Erinyes.
This is one of the very first videos I ever created. It was even done before my Insects Infestation video, and for the longest time just simply wasn’t up on youtube. Eventually it did find it’s way to Youtube for all of you to enjoy. This video shows my first City of Heroes character going from levels 1 through 50 put to “Charging the Megabuster” by Spirtual Tazer. Video footage is from Issues 3 to 4 of city of heroes, placing date of the footage in the year 2005. As a special treat this video is filled with annotation which identify where and when the footage took place. It should be a trip down memory lane for anyone who enjoys City of Heroes, as it harkens back to a day before Jackets, before body sliders, before ED, before Villains, before a whole lot of things. But not before capes and Kheldians. Definitely not before then.
Insects Infestation is a Steam based game that sadly didn’t really take off. The game had some interesting mechanics as far as building and resources management but it suffered from a manual written by a development team who had English as a second language, and thus it was very hard to understand. To assist with this I created this Tutorial Video series to instruct new players on how to play the game. The videos were quickly adopted by the development team as their official instructions, but sadly it appears this mod for Steam is pretty much dead. Regardless of the game’s fate, enjoy these videos to see an exotic, different game on the Steam engine.
