Incoming: Starcraft Series

Heya, it's Gab.
As a noob to Starcraft, I've noticed there are very few videos on Youtube intended to teach noobs but rather to expand the knowledge of all those pro Platinum/Master players out there.

I've decided to make a series which will be an instructional series directed towards noobs like myself - a noob teaching other noobs as he makes mistakes. Expect to see this coming soon.

OMG most epic cutscene/battle evar!!!

hey guys seb here,

Was playing Dead Space 2 recenly and played the end of chapter 5. It was so epic that i decided to do it again and record it to show you guys, but i got to warn you that if you watch the first 1min or so that it is a spoiler, but anything after that is just a massive epic cutscene/battle. So check out the video at:

A Few Minecraft Videos

Hey there Erin here,
Today I uploaded to the channel a few minecraft videos. One of them
is me demonstrating how to get an awesome world to generate for you. Another is simply a quick view of a dragon that I had prepared much earlier. And the final video is of me getting absolutely owned in Zombiecraft which is a mod for Minecraft. Later I will be making a tutorial to teach you how to get Zombiecraft.
Anyway, there is a Starcraft 2 video on its way and be sure to look out for some more action with L4D2, BFBC 2, COD: MW 2 campaign action and some Crysis gameplay. I might even chuck in some older games like Dawn of War and Age of Empires 2.

Just did a run through L4D2 minecraft map

hey guys seb here,

I just did a runthrough a minecraft cave custom map for left 4 dead 2 . The map starts in a room some where in a cave and then it goes through a minecraft cavern that is full of zombies. I don't know if there are any other weapons apart from the pistol i was using, however the bots in my game did have the SMG so i suppose there is a gun somewhere. This custom map is free so i highly recommend that you get it, its really easy to install aswell. So check the video i made about it at:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Weapons Review

Hi everyone seb here,

I have recently released a new video on youtube which summarises the weapons in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer. Bad company 2 is a sequel to the hit shooter Battlefield: Bad Company, made by Dice games. Bad Company 2 is probably one of my favourite games. It has innovative features such as destructible environment and vehicles such as tanks, cars and my personal favourite Attack heli's. The video made is just me summarising the weapons and equipment aswell as the classes and their roles. If you like first person shooters then, I highly recommend that you get this game. This game also has an expansion which recently (by recently i mean like a month or two) called Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. This expansion gives you new guns, vehicles and maps. The expansion was a massive success as it was extremly fun to play, especially when you fly the huey gunship.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and dont forget to watch the video.

Done :D

Finally got all the shading and highlighting done.
:D

Game Review - Amnesia: The Dark Descent

It seems that some games are
dedicated to entertaining you. Others intend to giving you an utterly new experience that you could never feel in real life. some end up being adrenaline-filled experiences that leave you gasping for reality. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a combination all of these particular traits that are difficult to gather in any game.

When I first picked up this game, I was not sure of what my reaction would have been. I thought that knowing the kind of game it was, I would not be affected. But I was completely wrong.

The story roughly follows the path of your character called Daniel. you find yourself in a haunted mansion (as you do) and you seem to be suffering from amnesia. Quickly getting into the horror, this game invigorates the hearts of even the most sturdy. I even ended up having to rage quit several times so that I did not have a panic attack.

This game has definitely redefined the zenith of the survival horror gaming. I am sure by the end of this rush, you will find yourself hyperventilating in a pool of your own sweat. And the first half hour of gameplay is the walk in the park.

Rating: 7/10

Hello internet,

Hey everyone this is our first post on our blog. Basically all we will be doing is reviewing games and talking  about them. We also have a YouTube channel which we will put game play throughs on and also game reviews. The Stoned Dragons are what we called ourselves cause basically we decided we were gunna make a blog, but we had this massive issue, cause no body knew what we were gunna call ourselves. Eventually we settled with The Stoned Dragons, I actually have no idea where the name came from, it kinda just popped out. Anyway, The Stoned Dragons consist of me (Seb), and my two friends (Gab and Erin). We will also be making other blogs about movies, music and some other stuff, but we are starting with games cause that is what we mainly do. Currently we have a Black Ops snippet up to get the channel started. Our first proper YouTube video will most probably be up sometime this week. I will be doing a Dead Space 2 (Which is a survival horror game made by EA) clip just to show you what it's like. I find the game quite amusing, but at the same time quite scary especially when i listen to it in surround sound. If you like games such as Left4dead and Doom this is definitely the game for you.

Erin, Gab and Me all own different gaming consoles. I own a Xbox 360 (with kinect) and a Alienware M17x, while Erin owns a PS3 and PC, Gab owns a Mac (lol what a noob), but he can still play WoW and Minecraft so it's OK. We will each review games we play as well as make cool videos about games (or at least try to).
