Still trying to gear up my druid but at the same time having some fun playing around with Adobe Premiere and trying to learn it a bit. Quite new to editing but it seems easy enough with this, at least for basic things. Taking things slow and not rushing into some advanced functions too quick.
Decided to add some music today as the general WoW sounds can get a bit boring by themselves, went for the iconic finnish band Ensiferum which is something I used to listen to a lot in the past when playing WoW. Inspired by Sonny 2's resto druid videos. <3
This is just a video of one Alterac Valley I did while gearing up some time ago, I feel like I'm not ready yet to try and create some Montage videos as not only is my gear still quite garbage here and I'd get killed quite quick if more than 1 person bothered focusing on me (which they don't here)

I hit level 70 recently with my druid and went restoration spec instantly as I miss healing with it in PvP.
I'll go over some of the things druids are known for in the video, while trying out some edits and effects in adobe, let me know if they're too annoying. xD
It's kind of fun to fiddle with it, though.
My gear is quite bad at the moment, I had earned some honor leveling up so managed to get a few items but most of my gear is not PvP gear so I die really quickly if enemy players decide to blow their cooldowns on me. Luckily many didn't seem to target me in this one, only died the one time I didn't mind cause was completely out of mana, lol.
I'm hoping to improve with my effects and gameplay from here on out and start focusing more on just some of the best plays once I get more content to sift through to fish the best parts out to create some sort of highlight reel. I'll also try and go through some things many of you may not know about how they work at all and do a little tutorial here and there, probably focused towards PvP mostly but who knows, maybe even some mythics, etc as there were some questions about it in the last post.
Let me know what you think about this video! Any of you been playing Resto druid?

There's this weekly quest to kill an open-world boss. While I got there there was literally no one around, I waited and waited and in the end I got bored and jumped in to see how much damage he could do. Turns out not that much but it also turns out that the HP he had was way more than I expected and it would've literally taken me an hour or so to get him down by myself.
I added in some text as to what happened next in the video using Adobe Premiere and also fast forwarding some of the boring repetitive part until things started to get better, was fun to see how it went down. :D
Sending some of the post rewards to @hivegc as this is kind of a quick post with not that much effort!
PS! How lucky that I decided to post this shorter video onto @threespeak, had I not logged in I wouldn't have remembered to claim this month's LARYNX tokens which would've meant about 30-40k less larynx for me, eek! Hope you all remember/ed!

Was playing the weekend tournament, decided to record a game after I was at 11/15 wins, where the more wins you get on your 25 games the more rewards you receive. Some of the rewards are season 2 packs which may be worth something in the future when they release immutable X (hopefully soon). Anyway, was going to record a couple games but it was a bit late here so decided not to wake up my roommate by talking over it. The game ended up being a really really close one though, and a long one so figured I'll stop recording there.
Are you playing Gods Unchained? If not and you wanna test it out, feel free to create an account through my invite link, they have a cool welcome set where you can try the game out and have a decent chance to do well even without buying any cards or packs and earning your way to core cards and maybe even s2 packs throughout the weekend. If you've played Hearthstone you'll have an easy time to get into it too. Let me know if you decide to check it out and hope you enjoyed the gameplay. :)

Jumped back on my main warrior who's been idly sitting by at level 50 waiting for the new expansion and hoping it'll be better than the previous one! Only time will tell!
I'm still trying to experiment to figure out the best resolution per quality settings so the videos won't be too long and too big to fit onto the 3speak upload which currently is max 3.5gb! Although I kind of wish we could increase it by giving 3speak a higher beneficiary cut or something, maybe something to think about @wehmoen / @theycallmedan so that I don't have to think too much about the file size and have to re-encode it and stuff.
Anyway, shadowlands is out! After emptying my bags a little bit, checking on some macros here and there I started doing the campaign to get to the shadowlands! Think the mic to background volume is alright now but the video turned out a bit smaller than I wanted so will have to increase the quality a bit more for the next one as this ~1.3h turned into 1.5gb at 720p.
Let's see what else awaits us in the shadowlands!
Are you playing the new expansion?
https://3speak.tv/watch?v=acidyo/tgmrclsx
I decided to go for a Paladin instead of the Monk and why not a tauren one because saying "Holy Cow" has never been more appropriate. I did go a little bit for a speed run here since Shadowlands is approaching but I highly doubt I would've had time to get to 50 before it launches anyway (in a few hours), and since my sleep rhythm is almost uncontrollable at this point it very much means I'll be sleeping when it does. Oh well, maybe there won't be as much people stealing my quest mobs when I get to start playing it and I can try do a speed run on my own terms with the new content instead before I maybe do another character to max level (which will be 60) where I try to enjoy the content more - or not speed run and focus more on the content for some more gameplay videos.
Anyway, noticed my game volume was way too high for the mic so apologize for when it's hard to hear what I'm saying which usually is the case even without any background sound on. :P

Shadowlands is coming out in a few days and I wanted to warm up for it by leveling up a new character and experiencing the new and updated level where current max is 50. I was going to just buy the cheapest expansion version just to test out the new content, level up to 60 real quick, see what's up at the endgame and maybe enjoy some early days of dungeons, raiding and pvp with everyone being back and playing for the new expansion. I heard this expansion has had some record sales so the hype seems real.
Obviously getting the base pack expansion wouldn't include additional game time subscription with it unless you bought the "epic" pack that cost twice as much - classic blizzard, always about that money - even though they're losing and firing developers and staff left and right and barely even paying any taxes but more about that maybe another time...
So I just bought some game time first and will be leveling up a character before the expansion comes out in a few days. I went for the Monk mainly cause I've never really played it much so figured something new could be cool to try and surprisingly the username "Hive" was available on a new realm I decided to start playing on but not sure if I'm set with that class or if I may switch to some favorites like the druid that will let me try all four roles so I can switch whenever I like.
I noticed they had also changed the way the heirloom items work, they won't give you an xp boost anymore but some other bonuses depending on how many of them you have (set bonus). It was interesting.

Gods Unchained recently had a new update on some UI features so figured I'd record a quick video showing what it looks like these days as I haven't done a GU post in a while. Been thinking about also writing a more detailed longer one about everything the game's been through, where it is right now and some future thoughts I can see it doing and getting to.
It's a bit late here though when I decided to record this so there'll be no commentary in this one as I didn't wanna wake my roommate up by talking. I remembered music exists though so I put some tunes on into the second game (volume warming).
Here's a link to all the changes
If someone reading this still hasn't checked out GU yet for some reason but has played Hearthstone or Magic in the past and wants to see what all the fuss is then feel free to use my ref link to check it out. It's free to play and the starting decks are pretty decent to test it out too. Maybe watching my video of me copying someone's deck and then switching to my death deck will convince you to give this game a go!
Until next time!

Hey everyone, testing out theta.tv today for the first time. Have had a streaming key in forever but not gotten around to testing it yet with all things happening, figured now was a good time. This is a recording of the stream for those who missed it and would like to know what the stream was about, if you still want to register on Theta to catch me next time, feel free to do so with the link below and follow me so you get notifications next time I'm on. :)

Thought it was time for another Dimitri caption.
Last one was kinda popular

Patience running thinner than ice I'm at this point just fast clicking through all quests and just trying to get them done as fast as possible to hopefully get to some PvP combat as soon as possible. Someone mentioned it'll happen at level 30 when I also will receive another class I can use/train or something, I don't know I'm new at this. Still trying to look at some cutscenes to not miss out on the content and storyline all too much and quite enjoying the combat so far. It feels a bit weird and hacky at times when using abilities, like the character will stop running or run toward the monster when using certain abilities even though I was trying to kite the monster around but was surprised to find out you could even use your abilities while literally facing away and running towards the other direction.
This newfound knowledge will surely help me in PvP when I'm out there trying to surive and kite and hope other classes can't get near me easily at these lower levels but I fear there will be so many alts who know how to play and possible have some loot they've pimped their characters up with due to their mains that I'm still going to end up getting rekt no matter my experience from WoW PvP.
Until then and next episode where we'll be trying to level up as fast as possible while taking a breather through lore cut scenes. :3

Hey everyone, this'll be a bit of a different video from the usual gameplays. I've been kind of fascinated by speedruns lately, was going to post about the rabbit hole I dug into recently hearing more about it, some great ones I watched etc but thought hey, why not attempt my own for a bit just to see what it's like and thinking "how hard can it be", well I was in for a surprise.
I'm doing this on an emulator and following a classic Pokemon Red run in this video of the current world record. Classic means that they didn't use any kind of manipulations to alter the stats of the Pokemon, odds of catching the one they want, and stuff like that which suited well for me as I don't wanna get into all that and classic is going to be the way to go for me. I downloaded the current WR timers as well which show on the page to the right but I didn't keybind all the buttons to hit the timer when I get to a certain checkpoint. Needless to say the beginning has already gotten really difficult and I can barely even remember the full run nor how to do it most efficiently, so I'm assuming this is going to take A LOT of attempts. I'll be needing to look at the WR also to assist me on knowing what to do though as I haven't spent enough time studying it prior, just wrote some notes on some important things he does at certain timestamps so I don't forget or miss it in the video. Haven't really gotten that far yet, though. Many times during these many attempts I keep failing either by having my Pokemon faint or doing something wrong at some point gambling on getting ahead of the WR and not succeeding. The last attempt was my best so far, was even ahead of the WR for a few minutes until everything started going down the hill. :P
Voiceover on most of the attempts, some of the first ones not cause I failed with some settings again, but combined all attempts together lately to make it into one video.

Pumped up with motivation to shine against all odds of people telling me the archer is going to suck for lower levels or be harder than most other classes and probably making me want to give up I started another episode to continue the leveling journey of FFXIV. Patience ran a bit thin this time around though and I couldn't bring myself to read each quest as I'm assuming there will be a lot of delivery quests sending me back and forth just to get used to the zones and to be honest I've never been much of a Lore person. What I'm mostly excited about is getting to level 30 so I can start doing some PvP and get to see if I can level up mainly by doing that and get some gear along the way for those levels too, and at the same time hoping the archer will excel at PvP if leveling in general will be much more difficult with him.
Do we die in this episode already or no? Find out by watching!
PS. Don't look at the end of the video.

Sorry @perceval but I couldn't bring myself to log back onto Phantasy Star Online 2 again, thanks for the advice (on youtube) though. :p
Decided to go with a game I've played a very little bit some time ago and feels a lot more like an MMORPG that I'm used to: FFXIV. After mentioning the game on Discord I went on to record it and missed a mention by @lunaticpandora recommending me to pick any class except the archer and guess which one I went for! Yup. Let's try this anyway and see if we get rekt before reaching a higher level, my main goal now is not to die a single time since Luna mentioned it's a lot harder for beginners with this class.
Not sure how much people like Lore so decided to read most of it up through the cutscenes since there was no voiceover, but I have a feeling I'm going to get very tired doing so for each quest and my patience will run thin. If there are any lore fans out there feel free to just pause the video during certain quests if you don't wanna miss anything.
PS. Why are all these western MMORPG's in british english? Oh well.

This might be the last time I get to use the Steem logo, R.I.P. buddy, you will be missed and were a good one, too bad the Steemit logo tainted you.
Anyway here's a collection of some highlights from some recent CS:GO games. I tried doing some animations and stuff but still a newbie at it so don't expect much, just a few touches here and there trying my way through. Will hopefully have some more time in the near future to try more! Hope you enjoy the gameplay. :)

What titles says. Some were wondering if it would have an affect on price while the interview was going on and questions were answered. Doubt it had much of an affect than what BTC/ETH caused it due to a possible "IOTA Hack" that may have caused a big dump. :shrug:
Anyway for those who missed it and want to see the interview, starts at around 5 minutes.

Hey everyone, I decided to finally check out Forgotten Artifacts. Heard about this game from @cryptostache first and then @enjar wrote a really great post about it which got me interested in it. For those interested in checking it out, here's a link to the website, you'll need to download and install the enjin wallet on android/ios and also have an ethereum address ready to import. Since it's in pre-alpha I'm guessing you can only play it by buying tokens, the cheapest package was the Gold Explore pack for 0.03 ETH and if you register on https://reeward.io/ you get a discount. With that package you should have about 10-11 Adventurer's tokens which get used each time you enter a dungeon where you can find items by killing monsters and the rare ones are blockchain item's (NFT's) that get sent to your wallet after you die or finish the dungeon.
It was a bit confusing for me to convert the gold into Adventure's tokens so if you don't wanna see me running around confused skip to 6 minutes. :D
PS. Apologize for some lack of frames in the video, I was recording the screen instead of game capture I realized later.
