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.

nijuu: Nice one :D. How about you guys do a series with other guys in the office playing other games they like as well? ;)

G-Doc: 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*).

mondo84: 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?
avatar
G-Doc: Judas working on a schedule. Now that would be a fun thing to see :-D
If you slowed my commentary down to 1/2 speed I'd be semi-understandable for a video!

mondo84: [...]
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.
[...]
I love this idea.

PMIK: Just watched it. Damn you are fast!

Also, BEST INTRO EVER!
Thank you! :-D

Good one :D
Hi ;>
Nice!

As somebody else posted, though, "it would be more useful for less known titles like Tzar. Rogue Legacy was already covered by many people, including Total Biscuit."
As a rule of thumb I hate intros in youtube videos. They are boring, unnecessary, and are stealing my precious time I can spend on something else. But this intro? Whoa! It was awesome! Purely AWESOME! I though I would never say something like that about intro. Good job guys!

And now I'm pretty certain I should get Rogue Legacy. I think I will enjoy this game a lot!

Please pass that on to GDoc and Video Ninja. They worked their butts off on it :D

G-Doc and Video Ninja! You are awesome! Thanks for proving me wrong. It turned out you can make a proper video intro after all. I've lost my hopes long ago so thanks for a surprise!

For a high-level Spellsword, Judas was pretty stingy with the mana... I was sort of shouting at my monitor a little.

I don't know how you managed not to swear, though. Heavy editing?

Iron will and self-discipline.....












and lots of swearing off-screen >.>
This is great! Really fantastic intro, too. I suck at this game hard and doubt I'll finish it anytime soon, but I keep going back to it every couple days, even if it's just to die a few times. :)

G-Doc:
English barrier, shminglish barrier. Just add optional subtitles (or don't, gameplay isn't a bad thing).
