QuadStream Plays - Left For Dead 2 - Versus



One of our favourite games to be raped on, Left 4 Dead 2. I'm not playing here, which would probably explain why they did well. Either way, its a good watch. There's more for each chapter too, just got to wait for Blitz to stop faffing about a post them.

Nerdy Aspirations

With much of my early life wasted on runescape, it may come as little surprise that I love high fantasy, in particular MuhMOaRPuhGuhs. As with most gamers I am a constant critic, thinking I always know better than the developer. I Criticise every new update because of my protective nostalgia of how the game was "better when it first came out". Dusty, Blitz and Striker all did/still do play world of Warcraft. Its success always puzzled me, as I despised its shallow stories and weak attempt at gaming as an art form. Before all the WoW neck beards attack me however, its only jealousy. Despite this bitterness and these shortcomings, I think I actually know a thing or two about RPGs.

Perhaps its childish I don't know but for a long time ive been writing plans and scribbling down ideas for my RPG, in the extremely vain hope that one day I will mysteriously have to power to make one. I'm not alone in this, Striker regularly chirps up his suggestions for this mystery RPG. Although I think I'm the only one who went as far as to start a notepad with all my ideas on. Actually that does sound pretty childish, although I can't really remember the last time I let such silly social conventions rule my life. I don't really know where i'm going with this, just wanted to get it out.

QuadStream play Mass Effect 3 - Gold Challenge (Part 1)



The first of many games from us involving Mass Effect (I hope). The trial was free (obviously) and we can't refuse a free game. One thing I have to say is there's a lot of content for a demo, thank you Bioware. The game doesn't appear to be massively different from its predecessors but that is by no means a problem, combat is slightly more refined and the controls have been simplified. Mass Effect 3 is shaping up to be one hell of a game.

What is QuadStream?

Once upon a time, there were 4 friends who liked going out and playing outside playing video games. Basically, Blitz (who likes making elaborate plans) decided to put up their games on YouTube so that other people could laugh at them. They (especially Striker) were also highly opinionated and so decided to talk about games too. Dusty, decided to celebrate by jumping around on Orgrimmar bank roof, a popular past time on some realms and a favourite of his. Finally Enzo, who is incidentally an all round cool guy had the genius idea of starting a blog, and well that's where we are up to.

Stay tuned for more
