The later Starcraft titles where you actually play against people look a lot more interesting than the boring ol' running-through-barren-hallways crap that you were doing in one of the more recent videos

Unfortunately my laptop isn't powerful enough to record more modern games. I Can run StarCraft 2 fine, but I doubt that the FPS required for recording that **** would support it. I tried Alien: Isolation, but the FPS was so ****ed that even on low settings it was unwatchable. Even Condemned: Criminal Origins was frakked at times, even though it is ten-years-old.

I suspect that I need an actual computer to record anything from the turn of the century.

And do you really have no love for the second StarCraft video where I am drunk as a skunk? And I was actually recording a video of the next stage, where you play with actual bases, but I was just too ****ed up to comprehend what I was supposed to do. Tried it twice and I just couldn't do it. In my defense, I had finished six 16 oz Steele Reserves beforehand.

Ah. Well either way you're off to a good start from what I can tell. A channel that only let's plays older games can still be a ton of fun to follow.

I only watched one of the Starcraft videos and I think it was the most recent. I'll give that one a shot to see if I'm more entertained.

That would be this video, my second to last. The ones after the last one I uploaded were so ****ed as far as strategy goes that they're absolute crap, while somehow I was also not drunk enough to be particularly entertaining. Not even going to publish them.

Oh, and my Youtube name was "Arnold Palmer", and no matter how unlikely it may be that I might make some money off of this, if I ever did, I imagine that I might have some issues with the real Arnold Palmer or his family. Even Batlord is copyrighted by some ****ty band. So I was thinking either Baron von DoomFist or something from Carcass' lyrics. Like Corporal Griskin. Has a nice ring to it.

Any suggestions?

I don't care as long as Ke$ha is somehow involved.

Black Francis · 04-19-2016, 07:17 PM

Baron von Doomfist sounds pretty cool actually. it's a little long though but i like the idea of it starting with Baron.

Baron von Douche. there ya go.. now you can start your vids with "What up douches" instead of bros.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 04-19-2016, 07:17 PM

What about Baron von Douchefist?

The Batlord · 04-20-2016, 03:21 AM

Went with Baron von DoomFist. I was inspired to create the name years ago while watching Venture Brothers, with Baron Unterbheit, but I just never used it since I was always The Batlord. There's no way anyone could possibly have come up with something so stupid and arbitrary, so there shouldn't be any copyright things. I do wish I could've stayed Arnold Palmer though. I loved Arnold Palmer.

And god damn was I wasted playing StarCraft last night. I had to abandon not one, but two videos of the next mission cause it actually required tactics that I was far too wasted to be able to concentrate on. Might end up posting them anyway, as sort of a bloopers thing, but one was fifty minutes long, so...

Should've went with BoozeTube.

I am not at all proud of this, but here's almost two hours of me being far too drunk to be in front of a camera. It's not David Hasselhoff eating a hamburger on the floor bad, but it's... it's not good. So, if you've ever wondered how I'd be in person while wasted, here's your chance, but be warned, the first video starts with five-and-a-half minutes of me just rambling before I even play the goddamn game, and it just kinda goes on from there.
