So, Who wants to win a Bastion Steam Key?

---

You do...? Great! here's the deal:

I'm challenging you all to get the best score possible on Global Gladiators' bonus game, which you can easily access via the options menu. By score I am talking about the amount of garbage successfully recycled and not actual in-game score. To prove your score I require one of two things:

• A video of your run, posted as a video response to this video [link]
• A Screen shot (if possible) of your final score. Post it somewhere and give me the link via Private Messaging on Youtube or though my Twitter (@LetsPlayShadigo)/Facebook pages.

I'll be honest, it's probably easier to record your run.

Last day for entries will be 30/09/2013. The winner should be contactable somehow (i.e. through Youtube or Twitter) so I can give them their prize. On a tie-break, the winner will be the first entry I received with that score.

Don't ask me where you can find this game if you wish to try this out.  All I'm going to say is that Google is your friend.

CanisSkye Pokemon tournament finals - Me vs TheOkamiFang

So I was taking part in a Pokémon Tournament on CanisSkye's stream on 10/8/2013 using Pokémon Online and miraculously, I managed to make it to the finals. Here is the final match from my perspective. If you're reading this, TheOkamiFang: GG, man - that first match was CLOSE.
Music: Round 1 - Pokemon B2/W2 Johto Gym Leader Battle, Round 2 - Pokémon B/W Gym Leader Battle
And for those who are interested in my Pokes...

YGOPro CanisSkye Tournament (03/08/2013) - Match Duel

So I took part in this tournament for funzies using a Plant deck and... I'll be honest, I didn't do very well... not helped by the fact that Gravekeeper's (specifically the Field Spell Necrovalley) can pretty shut down the main strategy of the deck I use (this is because a lot of the effects I use involve Graveyard manipulation, something I can't do when Necrovalley shows up) also: Gravekeeper's Descendant is the biggest douche in the universe. :(

I also did stupid crap as well. (Example: in the second duel, passing my turn when I could have attacked a clear field with Jerry Beans Man, was honestly a mis-click on my behalf... not that it really helped anyway.) I really need to practise using this deck more against human duellists.

Cheesenut would eventually reach the finals of the tournament and lost to a Steelswarm deck. And, yes, I'll tip my hat to him - that is a really good Gravekeeper's deck he had going there.

Music for Match 1: Yu-Gi-Oh! Sound Duels Vol.2 - Unleash Force
Music for Match 2: Yu-Gi-Oh! Sound Duels Vol.2 - Lua & Luca - Battle 1

So... HOT... @.@

*insert minor complaint over how hot it's been today*

not really helped by...

The fact that is is the only window in my office!

In closing:

This has quite possibly been the best £5 I've spent all year so far!

...Irony. Crowded House's Take the Weather With You has been playing whilst I've been typing this! D:

So... Nintendo's E3 Direct stream was a ton of fun...

...new stuff coming from Pokémon X/Y confirming a new type - Fairy, along with what it's strong against (Dragons) AND confirming some of the Pokes that are going to be this type (Jigglypuff, Gardevoir, Mariil and Sylveon), Super Mario 3D World, where Mario turns into a Cat. Mario Kart: Zero Gravity, Bayonetta 2 (which reminds me that I need to beat the first game still), a new Donkey Kong Country Game and brings back Dixie Kong and a trailer of the new Super Smash Bros. Game, confirming MegaMan and an Animal Crossing Villiger.

Looks Like I need a Wii U... But for now it's time for the three hour wait until TecmoKoei unveil their stuff for Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate and Dynasty Warriors 8...

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate goes free-to-play. But will it be really worth it?

So, you may have already heard the recent announcement from TecmoKoei/Team Ninja regarding the upcoming re-release of Dead or Alive 5 - called, appropriately enough, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate.

I love the AI in YGOPro...

...Because it does stupid stuff like chain other, continuous traps to Royal Decree and Vice Versa (chaining Royal Decree to it's own traps). It amuses me...

_{(yes, I'm aware the AI thing for YGOPro is in beta, shush.)}

Shadigo's Online Experience with Dead or Alive 5

So here's my opinions and experiences regarding Dead or Alive 5 from the last couple of days of playing. I may end up doing this as a series of it's own if it gets popular enough...

The Official LetsPlayShadigo Dead or Alive 5 Request a thing.... thing.

Hello, everyone and welcome to my official request a thing from Dead or Alive 5 video thing. With the success of the request a video thing for Dead or Alive 4, I've decided to once again ask for requests, this time for Dead or Alive 5!

So here are the general ground rules and stuff...

• Post a comment on the youtube video above if you want a request. Any requests on other videos, Private Messages, Facebook, Twitter, etc. won't be taken on.
• This is a request video for Dead or Alive 5 videos, not for the other DoA games.
• Post the mode you want (Survival, Time Attack, Versus, Arcade), and whether you want Single and Tag mode.
  (There’s no Tag survival mode this time, so don't ask for that.)
• Tell me which character you want, and which costume you want for each character. Note that I do NOT have every costume, especially for the unlockable characters, So If I don't have that costume, it's likely I won't be doing that request. I generally do keep up to date with DLC Costumes so requesting those are OK as well. Just mention which DLC pack the costume came from and I'll probably understand what you're talking about.
• Feel free to post as many requests as you desire, but please don't spam the comments box.

Game Mode Rules

• Versus mode rules will be one win matches against 10 random characters on a random stage. If you want fights on a specific state, or a fight against a specific character, say so. Difficulty will be the same as in the Showcases (Normal Difficulty for Arcade/Time Attack/Survival, and Difficulty level 3 for Versus), I WILL NOT ALTER THIS, SO DO NOT ASK.
• Survival Mode run will last as far as possible or until completed, I won't do requests that ask for "100 Wins in Survival with character" as Survival can be a pain in the ass at times, especially when the AI is in a Counter Hold Everything mood.
• Time Attack will last until completion, but if the main video takes too long to record I may do some cuts like I did with certain Dead or Alive 4 Runs.

Requested videos will be uploaded on Saturdays, unless something IRL comes up, Or my computer/capture device stops working for whatever reason, in which case I'll be notifying via Twitter, Facebook (Links are above) or on my YouTube feed via my channel, so be sure to follow those. Anything major that might disrupt this (most likely something has broken or I'm going somewhere over the weekend and I won't be able to upload) I will also be very likely post a video up on YouTube, along with a blog update, as well as updating Twitter/Facebook.

FTL - The Rise and Fall of the Doom Donut

So prior to going on vacation last week, I did a run of FTL: Faster Then Light as filler seeing as I didn't want to upload any of my main playthroughs that week.  FTL is a really good game and you should buy it, Especially if you like random chance/rougelike games.  You can get it on Steam, as well as a few other places and it's really worth the £7 or so for buying it.  As this run is six parts in total, and I don't really want the Blog to lag to all hell again when I did multiple embeds, I'm just going to link each part from Youtube.  Thanks for viewing, and feel free to like, comment, subscribe and stuff.

There's also a playlist of this run, where Future Runs will also go to if I feel like doing any more... Clickers.
