A "let's play" video by GOG.com's very own Judas. How do you like it?

Since <i>This Week on GOG</i> is currently on a break in-between seasons, and we promised to keep the [url=http://j.mp/followGOGonYT]GOG.com YouTube channel interesting, we've got a special featurette for you. Our colleague, Judas, gets really passionate about some of the games we release. Just recently fell in love with Rogue Legacy, and spent many nights slashing monstrous sprites, exploring the trap-filled castle, and looting tons of gold. He had so much fun, that he thought it would be nice to share the experience, and that's how the following "let's play" video came to being. We thought it was cool enough to give it some final polish and share with you guys.

Judas Plays: Rogue Legacy

Many of our forum users may know Judas. Most, however, probably wouldn't know what he does around GOG.com, apart from delivering snarky blue one-liners. So, let's explain. Judas is our bonus content hunter always looking for a chance to add something special to our game releases. That's how he spend his days. The nights--that's a different story. That's when he puts on his special rogue outfit and sneaks back to the office to play games. That we knew, because even though he's extra stealthy, we sometimes find him in the morning, head on keyboard, snoring, with a text "Congratulations, you beat the game" flashing on his screen, and some heavy metal classic sounding from his headphones. The fact that he can coherently talk while playing--an important quality for a let's player--is as new to us as it is to you. We hope you'll like his show.

Give your feedback in the comments, please. Tell us if you'd like to see more of that kind of content (or something similar) on our YouTube channel. Judas will be lurking the forums, so you can tell him what you think. Just go easy on him. Those are his very first steps in the world of gaming videos.

If you're interested in the game that Judas Plays, it's Rogue Legacy, a proceduarally generated roguelike (or: rogue-LITE) platformer in which your dying character passes on his quest and heritage to his offspring, shaping a heroic saga generation by generation, and it's available on GOG.com for only $14.99.

This is the best part of the post. Now do one for the rest of the GOG team as well. Including a Let's Play would be sweet, but not required ;)

You say that to all the GOG staff :P
I love this idea! Enjoying the video and commentary so far. :)

I hope it can continue even after TWOG resumes. Maybe a mid-week thing?

Sadly, there are only few fluent English speakers at GOG.com. Even some of our native English speakers are absolutely impossible to understand because of their--let's say--New Zealandish accent (*ekhem*TurnipSlayer*ekhem*).

I completely adore Rogue Legacy. Thiw game is like a 2D Dark Souls for me: hard but not punitive if you're willing to learn the mechanics, almost inexhaustible content. Every monster, every battle gives the same feeling of enjoyment even after 100+ hours because you always have to think, it's never mechanical.

But mostly I compare it to Dark Souls because of the story and lore: in both Rogue Legacy and Dark Souls you can get through the game without caring about story at all, but if you take time to look for lore elements (and not just the diary entries I mean), then a darker story is revealed.

Gonna watch the video now! :-)

Well, this was kind of a spur of the moment idea of mine and I kind of jumped into the office and said "DUDES! I got this idea!" and basically shocked people with it into submission :D

I am not sure about the mid-week thing as I am planning on playing through some of my favorite GOGs, new and old, and that may take some time.

We can wait. :P

But seriously, this is a cool idea. Maybe so that the burden isn't on one person to make these videos, perhaps each week a different GOG employee can feature a game they've been playing lately? (edit - saw G-Doc's post about English barrier for many on the GOG team)

Oooh, ooooh! I have another idea. Maybe GOG posters/customers can submit their own "I'm playing ..." videos or write-ups, then GOG chooses one each week to feature.

Sorry, I'm getting carried away. I just think this is has some awesome potential (if GOG is interested in doing something long-term).

If you keep up making these consider La Mulana and 99 Levels to Hell.

Basically anything that could cause some horrible deaths :P
