It's quite amusing to me that skirmish engagements in Red Alert inevitably devolve into a re-enactment of the of the First World War and a War of Attrition.

I have been longing to do this one for a long time, I know I already did a straight playthrough but this will be a lot of fun. This is literally the first PC game I ever played and the game that introduced me to the BattleTech world. We're going to go really deep in here and explore what makes MechWarrior 2 such a classic.

Escorting a photographer here, the RF-4 Phantom. The Phantom served a much longer role in reconnaissance than it did as a fighter. Our buddy is unarmed, so we have to be like... double dogfighters or something.
Hey, you guys like my Let's Plays, Longplays, Writing, and other random things I do, right? Maybe you'd consider sponsoring me on Patreon? All I ask is a $1 a month contribution. It doesn't sound like a lot, but if enough of you guys help out it will go a long way. Head over to patreon.com/l1011widebody if you want to help a Trijet out.

The bomb, Dmitri. The hydrogen bomb.
Well it's finally here. Fallout 3. A game that destroyed a company and continues to divide what was once a loyal fanbase even to this day. Was it worth it? Well, we'll find out.
Produced by Bethesda Softworks, best known for the Elder Scrolls series of RPGs, the game is the sequel (of sorts) to Interplay's venerable Fallout series of ground-breaking late 90s RPGs. Fallout 3 takes place in an all-new setting, the Capital Wasteland, and features a first/third-person game engine ala modern FPS. After a false start with 'Project Van Buren' that ultimately drove Interplay to bankruptcy and resulted in the original closure of Black Isle Studios, Fallout 3 was finally released with much fanfare some eleven years after Fallout 2. Was it worth it? Although highly praised upon its release and winning numerous industry accolades and awards, even now the game engenders some resentment from the series die-hard fans.
This will certainly be interesting. This Let's Play has been requested as far back as during my Fallout 2 days. This will be my first official entirely blind Let's Play, as I've never played Fallout 3 (beyond the first hour or so of gameplay) to completion. Every other game I've LPed so far was a game I had extensive experience with, played front to back and otherwise dominated or at least held vast knowledge of. So this will be a new experience for all of us.
Playing the Game of the Year edition from Steam.

Or, what engineers do when we are bored.
I'm an engineer, you know. That means I solve problems. Practical problems.
Pipe Dream is a great NES game. I noticed there were only some speedruns and some other noodling around, so I thought I would make something of a playthrough of some of it. Yeah, it's tool-assisted as all hell but that's part of the fun. Let's call this a tool-assisted fun run, show you the really neat stuff you can do with this highly-underrated NES classic.

NOW WITH NEW COMMENTARY WHERE SOUND HAD BEEN MUTED!!! Yay? It's at 9:50. I'd put a link to it inside the video with an annotation but HA HA ANNOTATIONS ARE NOT A THING ANYMORE
I got a request to do a skirmish of the laser general in Zero Hour, General... Laser McBrightbeam or whatever his stupid name is. And here it is.

Done for a Patreon sponsor, who wanted to see every single game played out for every week of this PlayStation game. So, uh, here it is. CPU on CPU exciting college football action!
I did trim some of the loading and menu screens out so it's not a truly authentic longplay, but there are some technical feasibility limitations here with the way I'm recording it.
Thanks for your sponsorship, Luke!
I have no idea how long this will take, but I'll try not to let it interfere with my other projects, hopefully.

Iron Storm is an alternate-history type first person shooter that takes place in a universe where World War I continued because the Bolshevik Revolution failed. It's notorious for its difficulty, but I find the setting and backstory quite fascinating.

And also my mind, apparently.
This time I'm going to be playing not just Fallout 2, Interplay's sequel to the smash hit RPG Fallout, but I'm also going to be playing the Restoration Project. The Restoration Project is a mod created by the No-Mutants-Allowed user Killap, designed to add back in much of the content that was cut from Fallout 2 due to time constraints. It also fixes multiple bugs and adds some additional graphics features.
Your home, the village of Arroyo, is dying. The tribe founded by the original Vault Dweller from Fallout needs you to venture into the Wasteland to retrieve the fabled Garden of Eden Creation Kit, a device said to 'bring life to the Wasteland'. Along the way you'll meet more strange mutants, unique characters, and even some old friends. You'll even get a chance to revisit some of the locations from Fallout 1... but the Wasteland has changed in the last 80 years...~
