Oh dear. I have that to look forward to then.

All feedback is warmly welcomed as long as it's constructive

Anyway, we're back on the warpath again this time with some slow moving laser turret creep helping me to track down yet more alien artifacts.

Episode 32 : The cautious man gets the goo

Guilty as charged. Muttering to myself is something I'm working on - without masses of success, but I'll get there.

Ctrl+click is something I will investigate with much excitement. As for productivity modules in research centres.... I've no idea what I was talking about there.

Keep me on my toes!

I've not tried it on hard mode yet, but I only ever turret creep when attacking. The secret to success is to move slowly and don't try to extend too far too fast. That way your previous bunker will keep you covered if things go pearshaped. As long as you expand toward a front line, rather than getti...

No problem either way.

If other creativity were separated out do we think it will encourage more non-video oriented work? If not it might seem to be effort made with no particular benefit.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll make sure to do a comparison in future (this one may also be a little quiet). Indeed, without resorting to sensationalised fictions about WMD or having to put boots on any ground anywhere we set about securing a brand new oil field. Peace in our time! Episode 31 : Blac...

Nothing better at the weekend than increasing your blue flask output.

Turbo belts! Batteries!

This is deeply thrilling stuff.

Episode 30 : Getting dull stuff done

Hey hey! All this violence lately has left a dire need to do something positive. That's right, I'm making more steel. Brace yourselves, the solution is both simple and uninspired!

Episode 29 : You need to make more stuff

I can't help but feel you put lines from this in your videos. This, is not a bad thing. This is a good thing. This is amusing, and entertaining. Hopefully, this will continue. ;) Why thank you. I'm not purposefully inserting quotes from the Stanley Parable (an amazing experience, I commend it to al...

An alternative to Fraps is DXtory. It's nice and non-lossy but is better suited (perhaps) to those who are going to do a little editing post production. It's about the same price as Fraps. My main tip (since this is a tips thread, right?) you can spend all the money in the world on a recording setup...

If you're anything like me you may reach a point where you think, " That's it. Got this sucker licked. A win is GUARANTEED! " Sure, your resources are under control, research is happening, the birds are singing, kids are playing in the park, it's a beautiful day. That's when you get compla...

After many a happy hour spent thrashing alien nests with laser turretry it feels like high time we turn some of this xenomorphic goo we've collected into something useful. Yes friends, the flasks of purple are all mine.

Episode 26 : Barney the Purple dinosaur

Taking multiple biter spawns out in one go is not an activity for the faint of heart. Typically it's also not an activity for someone who can't figure out how to switch weapons, but hey ho you can't have everything.

Episode 25 : Extreme lumberjacking

My own commentary is far from good, but over the course of 20 or so videos I've noticed that in some areas I am improving. If anything I'd suggest that fluency comes from practise and self-appraisal. I'm hoping that by the time I've done a thousand of these things I'll be able to complete a sentence...

Upon reflection having assemblers building assemblers is surely the fast path to the inevitable takeover of the human race by Skynet. This thought did not occur to me at the time, so I suspect I've doomed myself to a scenario where large Austrian robots kick my face in even more than the biters have...

Do you upgrade all your ballistic turrets to laser as soon as you can? It's a dilemma no doubt. The ballistic guys operate no matter what your power situation but they sure do run out of ammo on a regular basis. I like to keep the oldtimers around. They're reliable and make a mess so the question is...

We have blue flasks! We can finally leave the medieval age and actually make some progress. Or rather we would if it weren't for the log jam in the creation of batteries. One small, albeit vital, component snarling up our glorious march toward inevitable victory. Episode 22 : Widen the neck of the b...

Friday only happens once a week so make it count. Before you head out and get off your face on Maddog 20/20 why not stop by and check out the glorious progress being made through the introduction of robots and blue flasks. That's right. After about 1000 hours of wittering on about flasks of blue, we...

Expansion. That's the key, expand expand expand. A maxim to live by, and as such how about adding a ruddy great copper field to your resource supply? Of course doing so will mean you being woefully under supplied on the processing facilities you need but that's par for the course. Episode 20 : ridin...
