[Video] [Battlefield 4 Montage] Everybody Wants to Rule the World



Not really a frag movie, but rather a trailer showing off the sheer variety of locations and tools available in Battlefield 4 and Battlefield games in general.

Fun fact, the whole concept for this video started from the little clip you see at the very end. The skyscraper in Siege of Shanghai got taken out and while I was wondering what were the car alarms about, a teammate, running for his life, told me to get my ass moving. With an escape in the nick of time, we descended to safety with parachutes, while some other teammates weren't so lucky. It was a cool unscripted moment and I wanted to capture it in some shape or form.

All footage in the video was captured by me using PS4's Share Capture function.

DarkDante14’s YouTube Thread



Hey there and welcome to my super exciting mildly stimulating YouTube channel’s introduction thread where I’m pretty much just trying to shill my YouTube channel for a couple of extra views and self-gratification. Wait, I wasn’t supposed to say that out loud, was I? 

Anyhow, I thought I might as well share some of my proudest work (which is not a lot, admittedly, but still) and I plan on periodically updating this thread every time I upload something that I consider worth shilling coupled up with small descriptions featuring my partially sleep deprived humour.




So what kind of videos I make? Gaming-related videos of course, you silly goose. Oh, you meant what type of gaming videos? Well, see for yourself below:



Despite what the name implies, “Dante Plays” are not my Let’s Play videos. Instead, they are videos that feature cleverly almost competently edited video game clips that contain various goofy things and/or glitches that I personally found funny or odd enough to share with the rest of the world. Sometimes a “Dante Plays” video summarizes a game in a nutshell like with my Battlefield 4 Singleplayer video. Other times it’s just a glitch compilation with snarky captions added and inconsistent font choices. 

To be honest, even I don’t know what “Dante Plays” actually is. Perhaps, it’s a missed branding opportunity as to how I could have called my actual Let’s Plays or perhaps it’s just whatever bullshit I came up with after cutting together 27 gigabytes worth of SharePlay footage. Who knows?




Ah yes, just like 99% of the rest of the gaming related YouTube channels, I too have attempted my hand at the art of Let’s Plays. So far I’ve only done two LPs (mostly due to laziness and technical limitations), but I definitely plan on doing more. 

My most recent LP is of a game that no one has ever heard of before and I’d like to change that. The Sniper 2 is easily one of the best worst video games I’ve ever played. Released on Sony PlayStation 2 for only 2100 Yen (around 20$), The Sniper 2 is a prime example of a cheap cash grab that somehow still manages to be more entertaining and endearing than some greyish brown AAA games like MoH Doorfighter. Oh, did I mention it uses Comic Sans as its subtitle font choice?

I also did a Let’s Play of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 singleplayer, but the first five parts have terrible audio quality, so let’s not talk about that one. 





Have you ever wondered how to recreate the greatest waifu in Bloodborne using the terrible in-game’s character creator? No? What is wrong with you!? Well, fret not because I made an entire guide video with step by step instructions and it features my super annoying sexy Eastern European accent. I might do a couple more guide videos in the future, I might not – who knows?




If you’ve somehow gotten this far (assuming you actually read all that crap and didn’t just cheat by scrolling down to the last bit), you might have noticed I have a somewhat sarcastic sense of humour. Sometimes, this “sense of humour” translates into random bullshit videos that may or may not be funny. No guarantees - you get what you pay for and my videos are free ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I hope this thread gives you an insight about my channel on YouTube and the descriptions gave you, at the very least, a sensible chuckle.  Feel free to leave comments or bother me on social media like Twitter to which I’ll leave “useful links” below. Just click on the images to get redirected either to my YouTube page or Twitter account. Or not... Fine, be that way!

[Video] Let's Play The Sniper 2 (Part 1 of 3)



Please enjoy this look at the best worst PS2 game I've ever played. Featuring awful graphics, terrible gameplay and Comic Sans - The Sniper 2 is still 100 times more entertaining than MoH: Warfighter. What does this game have to do with Doorfighter? Absolutely nothing, but I needed to put SOMETHING in these video descriptions despite the fact that nobody reads them.

Bloodborne - Lady Maria Character Creation Guide

Introduction

Welcome to my Lady Maria Character Creation Tutorial! This page features the tutorial in both video and written formats. You can watch the video either on this very same page or on YouTube.

If you prefer written guides over watching videos, you can find the written guide featuring screenshots below the aforementioned video.

Special credit goes to AZUMA from Radical Dreamers blog for coming up with these slider values. You can find the link to his guide (in Japanese) here: http://radical-dreamers-lti.com/archives/51155946.html

Video Guide

Written Guide

Obviously you can enter whatever name you wish and we’ll pick female as the gender. Age - I picked young, but that being said, if you think that either mature or aged fit better, then feel free to simply pick whichever option you think is more appropriate for the character. Origin is purely functional and has nothing to do with character’s looks, so you’re free to pick whichever option you want.

[Video] Bloodborne: The Old Scrubs - It's Kos, not Kosm



Having explored the entire Fishing Hamlet, Emilia finally found what she was looking for. A cave system running underneath the village and an elevator hidden in a small, desolate Fishing Hut. However, Emilia was not the only one exploring the caves. It appears, an old friend, Bartholomew, had also come to slay the nightmarish creature lurking at the nearby beach accessible only by the cave systems. Having combined their strengths, the two hunters will surely be able to overcome the creature with ease now. Or will they?

[Video] Bloodborne: The Old Scrubs - Waifu Wars



With Dead Failures out of the way, nothing was stopping our heroine, Emilia, from opening the giant Astral Clocktower's doors. The noise of bells tolling the sound of progress were soon replaced with a strange dripping sound. The sound, caused by dripping of blood, made Emilia were cautious of the body in front of her. Was this the person of whom Simon, the Harrowed had talked about? Lady Maria, was it? If so, then why is she already dead? Who or what killed her? Is she truly dead to begin with?

After a bewildering journey through Research Hall, Emilia finally opened the giant doors leading to the Astral Clocktower.

[Video] Assassin's Creed Has Changed



Assassin's Creed has changed. 
It's no longer about throwing knives, hidden blades or poison darts. 
It's an endless supply of firearms, shot from rooftops by assassins and scrubs alike. 
Muskets, and their ease of use, have become the main means of assassination. 
Assassin's Creed has changed.

[Video] Assassin's Lag: Unity Edition



Interesting compilation of lag I experienced during a co-op session with a friend. Not really a slight towards the game as I recognize it was my Internet connection that was experiencing the issues, but an interesting video to see how Unity's netcode copes with the issues nonetheless.
