wat, you say.

2LP, pronounced "tulip", is a personally coined word of mine. What's it mean? Two Let's Plays.

Two?

Two.

Furetchen and I, both recording audio, with me recording video. He uploads his audio, I download his audio, I mix it all together what do we got? A co-op Let's Play, for Myth 2.

Episode 1 is recording and will be mixed and uploaded within a few days. Note that this IS a side project and won't be updated with my usual diligence. WATCH THIS SPACE!

And re-reserve your names. Two dudes and a Warrior. I'll write about what new units you can name when I can be arsed to.

And re-reserve your names. Two dudes and a Warrior. I'll write about what new units you can name when I can be arsed to.

I'll do that now, while I wait for my audio to upload.

WARRIORS

sb-pregame-06-01.jpg

"Mauriac, ancient and honored, still speaks of his time with the Legion and their victory over Balor. Many of the great military minds of our day sharpened their skills under his command."

Remember Mauriac?

Same as always. A Captain will show up, no longer with the ability to stunlock, but he does still tank like nobody's business and I think he fights slightly faster too. Kinda like a Thrall on Overdrive. They don't have the violent clashing green/brown or yellow/red quartered tabards of before...instead, they normally come in red-, bronze- or silver-tinted metallics. Integrity's heraldry is purple and blue, but given the weird way team colours work his dudes are all-purple. Mine have half-blue tabards (normally green, but that...really, didn't work).

BERSERKS

sb-win-14.jpg

"Though Gwyon and his brothers all died they had succeeded in breaking the momentum of the Ghols' charge... each scattering corpses until a step could not be taken without treading on one..."

You know 'em. They're the same as always, except with smoother animations. Mine have blue warpaint, Integ's have purple. So fucking badass they need a larger-than-normal picture.

JOURNEYDUDE

sb-pregame-12-04.jpg

"...upon being reborn as a member of the deathless Heron Guard... the date of his initiation, according to the calendar of the old kings of Cath Bruig, would serve as his new name..."

Same as always. Oh, the thrall may laugh, but 'twas Balcerzak's hand which first struck down Twiceborn. DO NOT FUCK WITH THEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY BECOME THE

HERON GUARD

sb-pregame-17-02.jpg

"...Eight Pride Stalking sped across the field of battle like a bolt of lightning... his swords flashing as his foes tumbled to the ground in lifeless heaps..."

They're back, and ready to cool you out.

Basically midway between Warriors and Berserks, with one use of heal. They can take hits well, they can hack shit to pieces, you know...fun things. But they're kinda mediocre overall. Good to have around, but Berserks are just more fun.

MOTHERFUCKING TROW

sb-loss-14.jpg

"...when Soulblighter confronted the Trow, demanding their continued servitude, they replied 'Set iron to rest and choose you one from our number. Ask of his name and what he owes you.'"

Yes.

RANGED

BOWMEN

sb-pregame-03-03.jpg

"When asked of his advice on how many men should be trained in the use of the bow og'Un remarked, 'One in twenty from each town. Go there, these men will make themselves known."

Imagine an Archer. Instead of a beard, they give him a moustache. He also has pants. This is very important.

Now, remember those lines of veteran Archers Integ put together? Bowmen are like that at BASE. Which is a good thing, considering they usually all die in the second-last mission, just when you really need some good ranged support.

But enough of that. Basically, the fir'Bolg were like "Fuck you guys" after Alric threw like twenty-two thousand guys at Balor's army as a distraction. And then put the other 100 on a suicide mission. And the <30 survivors (including the Narrator) on another suicide mission.

So the Imperials were finally like "Hey let's get our own archers." And they got random dudes from towns and shit.

...Conscripts are better than the hand-picked elites (remember, the last hundred attacking Balor were the best in The Legion, and at least some will be untrained) of the hand-picked elites of this savage longbow culture. Fuck the fir'Bolg. MINE, bitches.

DWARVES

sb-pregame-06-03.jpg

"...turning the godhead of the ghols into a monument to Balin's victory. Nothing else has done more to sustain the mutual hatred since the ghols raided the crypt at Myrgard for 'victuals'."

Same as before. Except now, they can aim worth a damn. Don't fizzle near as much, either.

DWARVEN MORTARS

sb-pregame-15-04.jpg

"Vnarin, son of Snorro, best explained the character of the men of the elite mortar brigade when he said, 'It takes a certain kind of maniac to carry fire in his fist and death on his back.'"

Yes, Integrity got these.

Fun will ensue.

WARLOCKS

sb-pregame-22-04.jpg

"The Warlocks are grim, humorless men; their hearts hardened by the secrets learned in the pursuit of power. And when a Warlock grins, it is unlikely you would find his thoughts amusing."

Motherfucking fireballs. They appear once as foes, once as friends and once with a hero.

A motherfucking hero mage.

Bitchin'.

CHARACTERS

THE DECEIVER

sb-pregame-22-01.jpg

"Deranged, arrogant, self-serving... none of these words can fully describe The Deceiver. No wonder his army has always been made up of bewitched men and the walking dead - no thinking being would willingly follow him."

Also known as Source of the Thousand Poisons. You...you don't want to fuck with him. He was behind Shadow of the Mountain though, so kudos to him for that.

ALRIC MOTHERFUCKING INTEGRITY

sb-pregame-25-04.jpg

"...he drew from his robe one of the five Eblis Stones, and for a few moments it made him an equal of Balor. The rest of the Legion was sacrificed... to give us time to take Balor's head."

YOU THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD.

YOU THOUGHT WRONG.

JARI

sb-pregame-05-01.jpg

"...then Cruniac called for the Dwarves... foremost amongst them was Jari, son of Balin and Uni, daughter of the Archon of Stoneheim; strong and wise... unsurpassed in bravery or daring..."

Like Balin. Slightly inferior, but...eh.

Lumi, you can reserve the full complement if you're so inclined. I'm not just opening this to people who reserved in Myth. This is a WHOLE NEW LP!

My one-liners sucked less in my memory.

Apart from that, at least now I know what you were seeing. I ... usually spend a lot of time looking at completely unrelated stuff. Like trying to pick out the moustaches on the Bowmen.

Both of you watching this thread, rejoice! Unfortunately, updates are basically going to be one every Saturday night EST for the time being, but we'll make up in quality what we lack in quantity?

After long deliberation on whether to switch Balcerzak to either a mage or a heron guard, I think I'll just leave him as a journeydude.

As for my warrior... we can call him, Jack.

Also, because you crave feedback, loving the videos so far. Aside from the accidental bottle mishap on Ch1, you've been making these maps look like you're playing on easy mode, and that's a testament to your skills.

JackSqd; in the booke.

...Oh, yeah, another thing.

Drinking Party. There are eight yokels with gunsMYSTERIOUS DWARFISH PROJECTILE THROWERS; four each. Most of them will probably die. Names would probably be a good thing.

Keep 'em comin'.

Well, it's not a dwarf itself...just some redneck human from Tallow. Example name: Billy Joe Bob Daddy-Frank. I think in the vague furnishing of almost background it says they buy their weapons off the dwarves. Like...miniature mortars I guess.

Unless you wanted to name a Mortar Fili or Kili. In which case...I guess, at Integrity's discretion. I mean, we technically named Feldspar BEFORE you had the chance...

OH!

In that case go with Bubba Ho-Tep for the redneck dude.

And no, I'd only meant to try to name a dwarfish projectile thrower. You can leave the mortars for somebody else.

This video will ... possibly make you want to rethink your kindly statement.

There ...isn't an episode this weekend, unless something miraculous happens (read: we record this afternoon/tomorrow morning furetime). Why? We recorded the whole shebang, felt good about it, and then something horrible happened.

See, I always save my Gaiden LP videos with the same name - very simply, lp.avi. Since I only record one per day and I immediately mix it into something more, it never causes issues. I took this habit too far and mistakenly saved the Myth 2 video under the same name - and then went on to record today's Gaiden. Camstudio doesn't prompt for overwriting. Guess, just fucking guess what happened.

Yeah.
