What?!!
You cannot be serious.
Heyya buddies.
Orbit here.
I'm playing some battlefield 4 today and I don't think I've played this on my channel
since it's launched.
Or at all, so far.
One of the reasons for this is I was really when it came out I was like yeah battlefield
4 is here it's going to be amazing.
And then like everyone else I realised it really wasn't.
And what you saw at the start there was one of the reasons, like the client side bs.
The game has certainly improved since it's launched.
But I mean, it's, it's just hemorrhaged so many players.
And they had a lot of problems at launch.
I don't think that it was so bad that it's a franchise killer.
I'll probably still get battlefield 5 or 2143 if they ever release it.
But they really do need to step up their game.
I've got premium so I'll probably still play when expansions come out a bit.
But not many of my friends play it at the moment and I was very frustrated so I kind
of rage quit on the game.
But a quick note about the gameplay.
I have sped it up quite a lot because I'm playing defence on a 300 ticket rush server.
And the reasons for this are two fold, firstly it'll be more entertaining and action packed
when it's faster.
Secondly, I just really like the squeaky voices.
"Enemy tank spotted"
Now watch as I take down an enemy helicopter then courageously destroy the empty vehicle
so my teammates can't use it.
Hashtag mlg.
I really am a bit out of practice you can probably tell.
Now I wanted to talk about the state of the channel quickly today.
Because unlike some other youtubers especially in the planetside 2 community.
I'm not very good at keeping you guys updated.
Like wrel does a weekly update for christ sake, I don't think I've ever done one.
And this is about to change so prepare yourself for news.
And the news is as follows.
Nothings changing.
I know kind of anticlimactic right.
But that's, that's what I've got.
I'm gonna keep on doing what I'm doing because I'm definitely getting better at managing
my time recently.
And hopefully one day.
One day my friend.
We will reach that holy grail of youtube for me which is that two video a week target I
have set myself.
And since I've left university I've kind of fallen behind on that.
Which is ironic because I kind of have more time now.
But we'll get there we'll get there.
Because I still really enjoy making youtube videos and as long as you enjoy watching them
I don't see this changing.
As for what you can expect to see coming.
Hopefully I'm going to be continueing some of the series I have going in planetside 2.
Namely planetside 2 top plays.
Definitely if I can ever get clips for that.
They are difficult to come by but it's definitely my favourite series to make as it's so community
oriented it really is great fun to get more people involved.
And I've actually started um saying that to people I play with ingame too.
When someones like "oh my god, oh my god, I've just killed a tank with a knife"
I'm like "hey you should of recorded that and uploaded it to youtube and sent it to
me, so then I can put you on the planetside 2 top plays"
That's proper mlg.
And the other series I'm hoping to continue is road to a pro marksman.
I'm hoping to improve my somewhat shoddy infiltrator skills.
As well as that, people seem to really enjoy gameplays that I upload.
Which is actually really good because those are like the least effort videos you can possibly
make.
All you have to do, and take notes if you want to start a youtube channel.
This is all you have to do.
Is play, record, and when something amazing happens upload.
That's it.
And unlike something like these battlefield commentaries.
Where I have to sit down and think hmm what am I going to say?
Let's try and not sound like a blabbering idiot here even though it always happens anyway.
But I think one of the main reasons people like gameplays is that it kind of puts you
in the action if you know what I mean.
And you're experiencing the moments the same way I did when I recorded them.
And planetside 2 does really have some great moments in there.
It's one of those games where things just happen.
But anyway, I'm also going to keep carrying on with the one minute tips series because
for me anyway that's really fun to make.
And I do get a lot of great feedback on that one.
So those are my plans for planetside and I also hope to keep uploading other games like
this every now and again.
Maybe not so much battlefield 4 because of the issues previously discussed by hopefully
some titanfall maybe.
Possibly some total war rome, I've been playing that recently.
Maybe even a chess commentary who knows.
I mentioned doing that a while back.
I'll do it I'm a mad man.
I don't care if it is youtube suicide.
But those will probably not be so much about the gameplay as in my planetside 2 videos.
But as in the good old fashioned youtube gaming commentary you know.
It's a bit old school but we're bringing it back we're bringing it back.
Everyone is doing lets plays these days.
But hell no, let's talk ***.
Let's talk *** on the internet because that hasn't been done before.
So that's the stuff I'm hoping to bring to the channel.
As well as this I'm thinking of changing partner networks.
That will probably happen in a few months.
Incase you're wondering at the moment I'm with VOD which is a sub network if I can get
that right.
Affiliate network possibly, with zoomin.tv.
And they've been great I've never had any problems or anything with them.
But now that the channel's a bit bigger we're just going to err have a look about.
See if there are any better offers out there.
But I'm not really sure what's happening with that yet, I might even end up staying with
them who knows.
And apart from that that's really all the updates I have.
If there's a youtube apocalypse don't worry guys, I'll let you know.
There was actually a copyright apocalypse a few months ago but I'm very careful with
the sort of music I use.
Like if you check in the description it's always linked whether it's an attribution
or even royalty free music I've used once or twice I think.
So luckily I wasn't really involved with any of that when it came about.
Although one more thing I do want to mention.
A lot of people ask me not so much on youtube but outside of that.
Why didn't I use my old game name samej321 on youtube?
And the reason for this is branding, first of all I made samej like years ago.
I don't actually think I've told this story yet, basically I was trying to get onto psn
and I trying james, james2, james4, james17.
They were all taken, so all I did was I swapped the s and the j around and I made samej.
And then samej was taken could you *** believe it.
So I went with samej321 I got that and that was my game name for a while.
But when I thought about joining youtube I thought samej321.
That's not a great, that's not a great channel name.
No one is gunna remember that.
So I was, I was having a think about what my name should be when I was playing planetside
and a guy hopped into our platoon called orbit2.
And this is on vs on miller.
And I though orbit that's great name but that's probably taken.
How about orbitalstrike?
And as it turns out that was also taken.
So then I thought how about orbitalstrikegaming eh?
And I actually managed to get that.
But there still are some remnants of samej about, like when I'm playing in battlefield.
It's just my old origin ID.
And if you ever see a guy called orbit2 on miller remember I'm named after him.
Not the other way around.
He's actually a pretty nice guy I've accidently team killed him once or twice.
But outro time, how time flies.
I'll tell you what on the left will be an older video.
It's actually a almost gameplay montage thing I did ages ago.
With that song from the start if you wanna hear the whole thing it was a remix of solomons
theme by instrumental core.
He kind of does these dubstep mix ups I actually really like his work.
And on the right will be a more recent video of mine defending onatha bio lab with DIGT.
The TR was rolling in and we weren't giving it up without a fight.
As always if you liked the video consider subscribing.
Thankyou very much for watching and I will see you guys later.
