Lets Play Myth: The Fallen Lords - Part 1 Effing Controller 2012-04-04 | Myth: The Fallen Lords is the first in a series made by Bungie. Humanity is in the fight of its life against an undead horde known as the Fallen. We find ourselves on the very precipice of doom, at the end of our rope, up Shit Creek without a paddle, all at once. Somehow, we've got to fight back. Then we've got to burn our clothing because I reckon Shit Creek don't wash out, I tell you what.Myth is famous for its 3d perspective, its tactics, its story, and maybe its gore more than anything else. So, if you want blood, if you want to bathe in blood, if you want to bathe in blood for a week, this is your game. I'll undoubtedly find ways of splattering my troops' entrails throughout the countryside. Enjoy!

Lets Play Randomized Uncharted Waters: New Horizons - Episode 1 Effing Controller 2024-06-05 | I've been trying to think of ways to mix things up with my over-a-decade-long playthrough of this game. About a year ago, I found out that it had a randomizer, made by the extremely talented Gilmok. It presents you with an entirely random map with a brand new world to explore, and can do some other cool things like randomizing the trade goods available in certain ports. I am totally amazed by it. Sound interesting? Check it out here: github.com/Gilmok/UWNHRandoThis footage comes from a Twitch stream recorded on 6/2/2024 on my channel, twitch.tv/effingcontroller.

Lets Speedrun Uncharted Waters: New Horizons - Joao (Former WR 5/26/2024) Effing Controller 2024-05-27 | This speedrun took place live on my Twitch channel (www.twitch.tv/effingcontroller) on 5/26/2024. It is based on routing done by JJBlu (www.twitch.tv/jjblu) and BCSBuster (www.twitch.tv/bcsbuster), with additional help from GameFAQs users Eastpolar, Gilmok, and FatRatKnight in the form of their guides and maps. Thank you to everyone who loves this game and continues to play and explore it over thirty years since its release!You are going to notice some seemingly random sound effects that play throughout this run. This is thanks to a Twitch soundboard bot I created, which my viewers use to entertain themselves and distract me. Despite their best efforts (seriously, they nearly derailed the run at one point), we managed to snag a world record run. You guys brought a lot of joy to this silly use of my time so I am grateful for all of the dumb fart noises that you subjected me to during this and every other run.Of all the scenarios in Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, Joao's is my least favorite. There's a lot of sailing back and forth between distant ports, and some mandatory combat that feels pretty unfair if you're a new player. Also, Joao himself is a chump and I don't like him. So, it was only natural to play his scenario as a speedrun, and devote dozens of hours towards learning and playing the run so that you only have to watch three and a half hours of his scenario. I'm choosing to believe that my loss is your gain. You're welcome.This video is presented ad-free thanks to my Patreon supporters and Twitch subscribers.DISCORD: discord.gg/FCZCURcKYGTWITCH: twitch.tv/effingcontrollerPATREON: patreon.com/effingcontroller
Lets Play Close Combat (German Campaign) - Episode 20 - Hill 192, St. Lo Effing Controller 2023-06-02 | We've been stubborn, plucky, conniving, and just downright tough for the Americans to deal with. Nevertheless, their numbers have been too much for us to hold them indefinitely. The final battle is upon us.Despite the box art, Close Combat has nothing to do with phones. It's a top-down strategy game that puts you in command of a company of soldiers in the immediate aftermath of the D-Day landings.

They become less and less effective as combat strains their bodies and their minds. Sometimes, they will refuse to follow your orders; other times, they might break and run. You'll learn who you can rely on in a fight... and who might be better left behind the front lines.I am playing this on an original Power Macintosh G3, and I'm playing it on the original CD-ROM disc that I had as a kid.

Lets Play Close Combat - Episode 5 - Hedgerows! Part 3 & Purple Heart Draw Effing Controller 2023-03-27 | Unfortunately, despite the title, we can't just call it a draw. I miss the hedgerows. I miss their verdant embrace. I even miss the sneaky 50mm and 75mm cannons that liked to hide in them. Despite the box art, Close Combat has nothing to do with phones. It's a top-down strategy game that puts you in command of a company of soldiers in the immediate aftermath of the D-Day landings. You can play as the Americans or as the Germans, and either way, you're going to be facing serious challenges.One of the key features of this game is that it models each one of your men's physical, emotional, and psychological state throughout your battles. They become less and less effective as combat strains their bodies and their minds. Sometimes, they will refuse to follow your orders; other times, they might break and run. You'll learn who you can rely on in a fight... and who might be better left behind the front lines.I am playing this on an original Power Macintosh G3, and I'm playing it on the original CD-ROM disc that I had as a kid.
