COH3 Key Giveaway
Thanks to Relic I have a few COH3 Launch edition keys to give out so I figured I would do TWO of them exclusively for you guys here on Patreon.Reply to this post if you want to enter.I will draw the winners send the keys out Friday morning NZ time. (Might be a couple hours after the launch hour)
An Update
First off I wanted the Christmas special video to be a surprise even to you guys, plus I feel uncomfortable uploading the copyrighted music more than once, so that is why there was no preview for that.I upgraded my graphics card, largely thanks to the support from all of you on here. I am still trying to figure out the optimal encoding settings for recording but the 1440p video on Youtube is a big...
Extra Shoutcast
Something mucked up my recording levels as a result in this one my voice is about 20% too quiet, still audible but might be a bit tougher to hear during action. I don't plan on re-recording this particular game either since it wasn't an absolute blockbuster in terms of action. But it is here if you guys want to watch.
Bonus Patreon Shoutcast
Here is a bonus one as a thank you for supporting me here on Patreon
PC Upgrade
This is a rundown of the upgrade I just completed. New CPU, RAM and motherboard leading to some insane COH2 performance gains. A huge thank you to all of you Patreon backers for helping fund this upgrade.
Off Meta Report intro
I made an intro for the next off meta reportI don't have a strategy ready for the next off meta report yet, though I am thinking about shelving the AT infantry sections and dusting off the double vickers assault section style for it.
A small PC update
As you may know if you watch my stream (and you may have been able to see worse frame rates in recordings) my PC hadn't been running very well the last couple months. I tried a few solutions, last weekend cleaning out all the dust and re-applying the thermal paste for my CPU cooler, updating drivers etc etc but it didn't work.So this weekend I did a fresh install of Windows and it seems to...
New Mic + tPI logo
Here are a couple pics of my new microphone setup. I got a Rode Procaster going into a Tascam US-1x2 audio interface. So far I am happy with the microphone however the software on the audio interface is no good, it wasn't my first choice but there weren't many options in stock in New Zealand and I didn't want to wait 2+ weeks with no shout casts.I also needed to get a new stand because...

January 2019 Update
A couple upgrades this month. As you may have heard my sound card died so I replaced it with the Topping DX3 Pro which I have been very happy with. Also since the room at my new place was a bit echoey I added some acoustic foam near my microphone area.These are the kind of upgrades that your money goes towards, so hopefully both you and I can enjoy the improvements. Next on deck is a new & large S...

Starter Series Criticals 2 - opinion required
Here is the next preview very close to completion, needs intro's outros and a bit more polish.Do you guys think I should add death criticals into this video? It would be % chance of each type of death crit and a video of what they look like.I'm a bit over 20 hours of work into this one now, more work than I was expecting for sure. So much mucking around in the mod tools and cheat mod testi...
Starter Series Criticals Preview
Here is a look at the next upcoming tutorial on vehicle criticals.
