Pretty much everything goes wrong in this one from bugs with 330's Pilot Overhaul (i think) to repeated assassination squads from the faction that you are working for (bug with Coyotes I think) to screwing up the recording setup (fixing it meant the rendering took 8-ish hours) to leaving the wrong title on it for 24 hours in the members section. If it was possible to mess it up, I did.
In our last heavily modded playthrough we managed to get most of the company killed and their mechs destroyed. We were left with five medium and light mechs rocking some very advanced kit and one lance worth of very good pilots. Can we rebuild the company with only these mechs and advance into the Clan Wars? Based my track record in the last series... probably not But we won't go quietly. sound the charge, we are back from the Ashes!
If you are a channel member (link below) and would like to name one of the pilots please let me know down below (or in the members section of the community tab) what you would like your characters name and call sign to be. If you are a member and join the discord let me know what your discord handle is and I will promote into the members role on the discord.

I enjoyed the mod spotlight on the Xenopac Unification mod by Xenoargh so much I decided that I would start a full series for it. I didn't want to do a long-term, open ended save though. So I think this is a good time to revisit the story line campaign. I haven't played it since the DLC dropped and don't know if there are any changes or improvements other than the initial cut scene. This is a heavily modded play-through and although I did do some preliminary testing to make the sure the mods mostly played nice, I can't make any promises that this will work as the mod authors don't specify any sort of compatibility with our mod selections. Let's jump in anyway and play MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries!

This is (as the title says) a first look at the game Deep Sky Derelicts. DSD is a sci-fi, deck building, rpg. You have a team of explorers looking for a lost Mothership in hopes of getting rewarded with citizenship. Exploration is Darkest Dungeon-esque with a map that you click on to move to the next room.
Combat is turnbased and uses a card system. Equipment and modifications give you base cards that you draw to perform your actions. The cards can be modified by your characters skills.
The game includes crafting (similar to something like Diablo) where you pick the item to build. If you have the correct recipe then you are able to byukd the item with stats and abilities generated at random within a basic template.
While exploring the derelicts everything requires energy. Energy for your life support as you move along, energy for combat, energy for scanning. Energy can even be used as a currency in various encounters. Managing and maintaing that energy is the primary mechanic for exploration.
The game uses a comic book art style with combat resolution shown as a comic book framed animation. It is simple but well executed and adds a lot to the game.
The game was released in September of 2018. Two DLCs have been released to date: New Prospects and Station Life. Station Life was just released in December of 2019 (about one month before i recorded this). As of January 2020, the base game is $19.99 and the DLCs are $6.99 each with discounts for buying a bundle.

Campaign mission time! We make an attempt at the Lock n' Load campaign mission. This is one of the harder missions in my opinion. Or at least it has been for me. It might just be my play style (hint: it is probably my play style) that makes it difficult. Anyway, let's see how it goes.
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a first person / sim game based on the Battletech tabletop universe. At launch it will include a campaign mode as well as solo and co-op instant action scenarios and custom scenarios. Modding will be supported. It is a fast paced, entertaining window into the Battletech universe from the makers of Mech Warrior Online. As I type this, it is in closed Beta accessible to pre-orders. It launches on Dec 10, 2019 and is available on the Epic Games Store.

Wartales from Shiro Games graduated from early access to it's v1.0 full release on April 12th. Wartales is an open world, fantasy, tactical RPG with turn based combat. You control a small mercenary unit trying to make it's way in the world in whatever fashion you choose. The game includes trading, crafting, bounty hunting, ancient tombs, politics, etc. You will need to recruit additional help and keep your company fed and paid if you want to progress. We are going to jump in and take a look at the full release. I am willing to commit to playing through the first area in the game. If the interest is there, I will continue the save beyond that point.

Now that the DLC campaign is over I am going to start throwing in some mods. Mods are suggested first by our channel members and then by the community at large. If there is one you want to see, let me know. Mod list for each episode will be down below.
The Trondheim 9 are comprised of myself, Ryana, and our channel members. The goal of this series is to play through the Kestrel Lancers DLC campaign and then head up north to start the Rise of Rasalhague DLC when it drops towards the end of the month. We are running a mostly vanilla save as I expect that the mods will all be broken when the new DLC arrives. The mods we are running can be found below as well as the list of our channel members, their pilot call signs, and their personal mechs for the series. This series was suggested by our members. If you would like to be a channel member you can join by clicking the link below or selecting the "join" button under the video.

The Early Access is over and Everspace 2 has graduated to their full release. Everspace 2 is a action space game that is more in line with an arcade style rather than a sim style of play. We play as Adam, a military clone pilot that is just trying to live his life and get out of the DMZ. The story does carry over from the first Everspace game despite the fact that it was a rogue-like and Everspace 2 is a crpg. Everspace has a strong story line but is a game that rewards exploration and wandering off of the beaten path. Let's jump in and see how the full release stacks up.
I do not plan on recording this game to a schedule. It is more or less my private save that will be played and recorded when I have time. I will record it in 35-50 minute chunks to make them easier to watch but I will generally just put up my entire play session at once. Expect to see 3-5 episodes all get uploaded at the same time. This will not happen every day however as I probably won't have 2-3 hours to play every night.

Welcome back to Mechwarrior 5! This time we will playing a heavily modded version of MW5 using Yet Another Mechlab (YAML) and A Clan Invasion Mod. Updates to YAML allowed the two to be compatable and the Templar's Pirates crew created a specific version of the Clan Invasion Mod to be used with YAML, the Yet Another Clan Invasion Mod. You can find a full list of my mods down below listed in load order (bottom is first, top is last).
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a first or third person shooter/simulator set in the Battletech Universe in which you manage a mercenary company attempting to survive in the Inner Sphere. There are two campaigns in the game. The first of which comes with the base game and a second which was added in the Legend of the Kestrel Lancers DLC. As the commander of the company you will move your mercs through the systems of the Inner Sphere to take accept contracts for the various factions. You will need to balance the finances of the company while also running one of the giant robotic battlemechs in missions, hire new pilots, and acquire new mechs and equipment so that your company can grow and thrive amongst the war torn future.
