Octopus Overlords

Pretty much everything I've posted has been random gameplay clips from our OO gaming sessions over the past few years, usually when something goes spectacularly wrong. There are also two or three that were there to show specific things to other OOers, and a couple that were videos of glitches sent to tech support over the years. Nothing I've ever posted was for views or followers.

Another Game Night, Another Gartic Phone Video Set:

Mine's just me voicing over some of my recent gaming, Most ly Tank Mechanic Simulator, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and an hour and a half of Dirt 5. It's interesting how Youtube picked up a copyright claim on that, even with music turned down to 10% so it's basically inaudible over the engine noises. I have to get into the habit of turning off the music completely.

See? Advertising pays off. You just increased your subscriber base by nearly 15%!

Throw another one onto the pile and if I may make a suggestion, create playlists for each game/type of video.

See I dont recall you doing this. I remember you for gaming guides on line. Read those as needed.. Mostly at one place I used most...think it was GameFAQs.

Wilco.

Not really trying to make a living on these. Not enough views.

I don't think any of us is hoping to make a living with these. Having playlists makes it easier to sort/watch specific games tho.

The Youtube's automatic copyright claims are getting pretty ridiculous.

Have a video of Simulacra... I know there's music on the title screen, but what's basically 10 seconds of title music that cannot be turned off, and it's holding up the ENTIRE video for ads for someone else? REALLY!?

And same with Titan Quest. I turned off the music entirely (volume 0) yet it's continuing to find background music with copyright claims? WTF?

Whats down here with us is even worse
"Is it republicans?"


Bout swallowed my Reese's Cup.

Last night's Aliens Fireteam runs. I was tired, forget to check all of the settings, and managed not to capture the banter. Damn, these long ones take hours to upload!

Mine has banter but once again my volume is lower than I'd like. I'll have to adjust my settings....again.

I am going to make Youtube mute all those songs it allegedly found in my videos. And I checked... They are all only like less than 20 seconds each time (more like 12). For this tiny segment, they hold up revenue (not that I get any) for the ENTIRE 20-60 minutes of video? WTF? Yes, Youtube, PLEASE mute all audio during those itty-bitty segments.

For videos that genuinely had audio in it, I'm leaving it alone.

Speaking of those Titan Quest videos, I'm already up to 63, and I believe I have another 10-20 to go.

GTA:O
It's been a long time since we've played any GTA so we thought we'd do a heist for fun.
Wow. We were bad. Like, really bad.

We had a mission we never got through once. Its where you split into two teams and one hijacks a prison bus and gets into the prison to free a prisoner. Didn't matter how many times we tried it or who went in what team the prison group never made it out ...either they'd die or the guy you were freeing died. On out last try of the night we didn't even get to the prison with the bus. The guy driving flipped it in a rut in the desert outside on the way. We took it as a sign and called it.

Ive seen missions where for whatever reason it was just not my night to shine. Id get killed every damn time. Some easy mission and it would be our 5th try at it because I kept dying so Id be armored up in heavy armor, snacks in hand, and stay inside the damn truck we had stole and Id still be the one to get shot and killed on the 3rd part of a 4 part mission.

I've always been the team bus/chopper guy on that mission. I had it down to a science. But I also know that there was always a lot of swearing by the prison team, too. And lots of retries when they died.

Unfortunately, there are only two of us who are chopper friendly in GTA V, and it is the same two who are best at shooting segments.

It's too bad I didn't record more of that GTA session. I ended up turning "accidentally" running over Jen's car into a running gag. I think I ran it over five more times before we ended up completing that mission.

Why am I awake? I dunno, but here are some videos from the OO Crew last night. I'm moderately sick right now, and the night was kind of a blur, so have fun laughing at me.

World War Z

Rainbow Six Siege

It should be noted that there was a challenge in effect to get 20 kills with shotguns so when you hear me claim "I hate shotguns!" know that that was the only reason I was using one.

I promise I don't really have it in for my wife...

At least it wasn't me this time!

Not that you didn't try a couple of times.

All Titan Quest videos uploaded.

Starting on MW5 Videos.

This one is probably the funniest video I've uploaded so far.

Sometimes playing games with your wife (in the same room) can be....distracting.

So that why I got hit the other day.

It's time for the GTAV:Online Humane Labs Raid

Please excuse the coughing, sniffling, and various other head-cold related noises that I make throughout this video series. At least it wasn't the Covid.

I got a gal I use for most of my GTA too. Ive won 4 or 5 cars off that casino wheel. My friends couldn't believe it.

You know, you could just post the successful run for each, maybe splice in the initial drive/cutscene. It would hide all of our embarrassing failures and shame!

But sometimes the failure is hilarious.

Like holding a C4 out the window of the getaway car and having it get shot resulting in the car and everybody in it being blown into a fireball.

I mean, theoretically.

Pretty excited that in the last few weeks my stream has been kinda taking off largely in part to support from my in game company from New World, Gaiscioch. On Weds we fish in game while watching shows on Prime through the channel's syncing watch party and it has taken off (currently doing Wheel of Time each Wed) Now we also do Disney groupwatch on Thurs with Hawkeye. Hit 30 subs for the first time and it just keeps growing.

though sometimes this happens and playing is tough Kitty attack

I'm uploading the actual mission vids from Deep Rock Galactic, but here is a quick one of us unwinding after the mission.

Ok, here are some Deep Rock Galactic missions from last night:

I took a few hours today to start sorting through a couple years worth of old videos and screenshots. I cobbled a few mixes together. It's possible that some of the clips in them may be repeats.

Tom Clancy Presents Tom Clancy's Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands. Tom Clancy.



GTA Online. The first one was Brian spawning in an inconvenient location. The next, I believe, was BadDemo trying to get into the car. Everything went wrong. Repeatedly.

I think it has more to do with us getting tired and screwing around. Brian plays right after work, I play at the end of the day (we stop minutes before I stumble into bed.) When we're alert, we can actually kick some ass - but those videos aren't funny, so I usually don't bother with them.

...at least that's the story I'm going with.
