RAF Red Arrows at the Québec International AirShow
This video show the RAF Red Arrows at the Québec International AirShow on June 14, 2008. I think it’s a good recording considering the technical limitation we had, The red Arrows had the merit to stay close of the airport allowing uncut scene with them. It was very impressive to watch them fly in very close formation.
US Navy Blue Angels – at the Québec International AirShow
This video was recorded the week previous to the Québec International AirShow in june 2008. The US Navy Blue Angels fly F-18 hornet that are big and slower then the USAF Thunderbirds F-16. So it was easier to record them and since we heard them before seeing them it was much easier to spot them and track them with the camera. So Enjoy and leave comments!
US Air Force’s Thunderbirds at the Québec International AirShow
This is a video of the US Air Force’s Thunderbirds who came at the Québec International Air Show. This recording was done during the week previous to the air show, on June 12 and June 13, 2008. This air show was probably one of the biggest ever since there was the US Air Force Thunderbirds, the US Navy’s Blue Angels, The Royal Air Force Red Arrows, The Canadian Air Force Showbird and a CF-18 from the Canadian air force flying over us. This is the first of a series of video covering this Air show and it was recorded with a very simple hand held camera, so this first video was mostly our training at recording very fast moving planes and we got better at it as you will see in future videos. Enjoy and we are looking forward to feedback.
This second video was recorded at the airshow on June 14, 2008. It was a rainy day so the Thunderbirds didn’t do all they usually do. But i think we did a good job at recording it considering the recording conditions. Enjoy
This video was recorded on the June 15, 2008 from a road that has a good view over the valley. This video show well the speed of the F-16 and give an interesting point of view over the Thunderbirds Airshow.

Attila’s Commentaries 2: “Rome Total War MP German vs Spartans”
These two videos should be watch at the same time. Since many people do not enjoy hearing commentaries over gameplay, they can enjoy the first video alone. If you want commentaries you can watch both videos at the same time.

Greatdictator reviews : Point Lookout DLC
Welcome to the murky swampland of Point Lookout . Travelers beware for the swamplands lurk with inbred mutated hillbillys and swamp Ghouls…but whats the difference ey ?
The 4th and definitely one of the best of the bunch in the 5 part DLC that Bethesda studio has set out to make is definitely worth getting , for not just being able to explore alot more off a new land that isnt a complete and desolate wasteland as well as getting new toys , perks and enemys to kill ….but do beware for the enemy’s here are without a doubt some of the toughest youll meet so caution is advised .
The hillbillys are as funny as they are stereotypical inbreds with the things tehy have too say , there’s a bigger variety of new quests , and the Maryland swampland is quite an interesting setting.
So save up some caps or use stealth to steal this DLC for Fallout 3
Starfox shadow of Lylat (freespace mod )
Now here a quite interesting use for the Freespace engine….a starfox mod…yes although this one does seem to be more on the sim side then the original which was arcade. I am quite looking forward to it and….I do hope that they put in the do a barrel roll line in there cause it certainly wouldn’t be starfox without that in my opinion without further ado here the trailer for it an do note that i found this today :P
Greatdictator reviews : Overlord 2
Welcome to the written portion of the Overlord 2 review for DYG hope you enjoy it .
A game like Overlord 2 is undoubtedly one of those game that isn’t exactly THE BEST but is rather close up there , by not only being fun but also adding its own style and charm ….and even yes it is sorta like pikmin….its in my eyes from what I know of and seen of pikmin .better.
Overlord 2 is an overall improvement over the original , the story starts out by Gnarl telling you that the minions have been scouring the lands for a new Overlord , since at the ending of raising hell one can see one of the mistresses pregnant , so you start out as a child in the small town of Nordberg there’s almost something Fable 2′ish to it.
Once you manage to escape the now new power in the land namely the Glorious empire that has put a ban on all things magic…and guess what you have magic in your veins , now I guess one can think of these guys as nazis of magic but whatever the reason once you escape them and get frozen your minions take you towards your new underground tower where they raise you up till your old enough to start bashing baby seals .
As mentioned in the video review the games story is still interesting just like the first one and the expansion .
Gameplay has been overall improved with not just making the minions even more fun to use , one of the main new features are the mounts the mounts are what they imply mountable animals , sadly the even though there are 3 mount types for various colors they aren’t used as much as you do the wolves so that’s a bit disappointing but its still fun when you do use them , this game is a lot more focused on minions and their ability’s sure most of the puzzles are still based on what color minion you have but this time their a bit more challenging and requier’s a bit more active role , some minions like the blues can now blink through enemy’s if you guide them through it or to clear away the magic radiation in the tower wastelands area .
2 Additional gameplay mechanic’s are the catapult sections and the ships sections , while they are both fun and enjoyable the game doesn’t implement the ship as much as I had initially hoped for hell they could have made a ship battle between the elf’s and the empire and you could have boarded an empire ship with a catapult and there you go you get the best of both worlds .
The spells have pretty much been revamped instead of having a fireball as your first magic spell you get a lighting attack initially this isn’t very usefull against enemy’s , but the alternative use for it is so much better you can now actually take control over slaves , people and citizens and turn them into….your slaves ( double loss for the slaves then he he ) , while in an area that isnt a town you’ve already conquer’d these slaves serve as cannon fodder to distract the enemy until you can kill them , while in a conquer’d town you have a hundred citizens that can be either turned into slaves or be killed since instead of being evil and somewhat evil you choose between being EVIL and REALLY evil ( in other words being dominant or being chaotic ).
The light RPG mehanics are present but expanded this time by having the ability to upgrade your minion’s hives , but the forging is a bit more streamlined this time around but lost a bit of a personal touch to it though .
As mentioned in the video review the game , the new enemy’s also pose a whole new level of challenge where I hardly died in the original I found it rather difficult to survive as many times in this one , since the formation ability gives the empire units almost ridiculous defensive boost until you kill their commander that is which adds a somewhat more tactical thought to the game .
One of the more fun aspects is still the ability to turn your tower or domain of evil more comfy , this time you have a lot more options by having 3 different mistresses ( one being a ghost …so that’s akward if you please her into bed ) whoever you choose to be first mistress you get her set of stuff of course you can change between mistresses to mix it up as much as you like .
The graphics and art design is even better then the original , with small animations touches in both minions and the animations…in all of this both video and this text I forgot to mention that the humor is still present , weather it be the fat …and almost scary fairy’s to the large emphasis on killing baby seals it still retains the same humor as the original although , some of the best lines are still delivers by Gnarl although there aren’t as many of them ( in my opinion ) as there were in the original .
For some reason the minion AI doesn’t seem as effect when it comes to bringing back stuff in the original after they break something they pick it up and put it on or bring it to you but in this one there were more then enough times where I had to send out another minion to pick it up , but the minion AI besides on that aspect is an improvement .
Overall this Overlord is an improvement over his predecessor ….and he didn’t lock himself in an eternal abyss , but like its predecessor it isn’t a perfect game but its still good….erh bad EVIL fun
Check in again when I review Paraworld .

Greatdictator reviews : Prototype
You can shape shift , you can read other peoples minds by absorbing them and becoming them , YOU are Alex Mercer one of the most badass of super heroes , this game is essentially 40 % spiderman web of shadows , 40% Infamous , 10% Left 4 Dead and 10 % God of war….but heres a thought they really should have called it TENTACLE RAPE THE GAME
And the Winner is… (Men of War Video Contest Results)
Finally, the voting period is over for the Men of War Video Contest and the data collected by the poll system have been analyzed by the Dateyourgame’s Elite Datamining Squad! It has clearly been a heated voting process.
We would like to thank and compliment all the participants who created videos for this contest and congratulate the six finalists who were chosen by a jury from Dateyourgame and Digitalminsoft and will earned a participation prize!
We were agreeably surprised by the number of participants. Some finalists have clearly been able to mobilize people to vote for their video, which is exactly the kind enthusiasm and community participation we were looking for! We wanted you to share your passion for Men of War with the most people possible and we think that this goal has been reached!
Also by using an open voting process we had two objectives:
- To chose the Grand Prize Winner, who will receive a Men Of War copy signed by members of the Men Of War Development team.
- To give one copy of MoW to two registered Dateyourgame members who voted.
To do so we tried to use the most democratic process by allowing anybody to vote. It was then possible to participants to use their social network to promote their videos and increase their chance of winning the contest.
By doing so we knowingly exposed the voting process to some sort of abuses. To reassure the finalists, the voting system we used has known vulnerabilities easy to exploit that we were aware of. We were hoping that all the participants would play by the rules, but as some have noticed, it was not the case. Does these behaviors affected the end results. The answer is: NO.
Since we were expecting that kind of situation from the start, we were able to detect fraud by allowing the behavior during the voting process. Like an IT strategist said: “Turn a Security Weakness into Security Enhancement”. In clear, the announced results were cleaned of all the invalid votes. The following table includes the results for Registered members and Guest users.
You will notice that DJ Szopen had obviously a quite effective strategy to bring Guest users. But it wasn’t enough to compensate for amount of appreciation the IIIYURYIII’s video earned when Registered members and Guest Users are considered all together.
| Finalists | From Members | From Guests | Total |
| DerLandsser | 3.95% | 1.58% | 2.04% |
| Evilsausage | 7.89% | 7.28% | 7.40% |
| Dl.MiciMacko | 7.89% | 0.00% | 1.53% |
| DJ Szopen | 9.21% | 36.71% | 31.38% |
| ValiantDuke | 17.11% | 23.42% | 22.19% |
| IIIYURYIII | 53.95% | 31.01% | 35.46% |
| Valid votes: 392 | 100.00% | 100.00% | 100.00% |
We declare IIIYURYIII the Winner of the Men of War Fan Made Videos Contest and you can see why by watching his video!
Thanks again to all of you who participate by creating videos or by voting.
Attila for the Dateyourgame team.
DYG Cinema Corner Army Men RTS
Well here are some pretty funny cutscenes from Army Men RTS hope you guys enjoy :)
Part 1
Part 2
Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 Gameplay
This is a video of Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 a RTS aimed to be as realistic as possible. It has notably a realistic view line of sight, realistic gun range and armors damages.
This video shows one mission of the campaign at normal difficulty. The objective is to prevent the German and Italian forces to pierce the pass until the British tanks reinforce the line.
As you see, the trench lines on the left flank felt very fast. So while I’m moving into a good position to kill the enemies, the main Axis advance beyond the allie line of defence, my rear guard get crushed faster than expected by the Germans tanks that seem much stronger then the M3 Stuart, forcing me to take away one of my M3 Lee Tank and send it back to the rear where it turned out to have a perfect angle on the flank and rear of the Panzer IV tank.
As for my main forces, I advanced slowly and carefully against the enemy flow and reached the advanced Allie defense position with cannons that were put to silence by a mortar barrage. To take advantage of those guns, I ordered my men to use the cannons with great effectiveness against the enemies tanks and infantry. I won with some casualties but at least none of my M3 Lee Tank were destroyed.
This is the first US mission of Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943. This mission of Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 puts you in charge of the defense of a village. If the Germans actually breach your lines of defense they will win this mission. To win this battle the Germans use many support weapons against you like artillery, smoke screen and air to ground support. I decided to customized my army and changed the default M3 Stuart for M3 Lee which offer a greater anti tank punch and a better armor. I also choose not to take any anti air weapon relying only on my P-40 Warhawk fighters to take care of the Germans bombers. I think it was a good choice since the German Stuka didn’t killed much of my forces.
This is a video of Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 showing one tiger facing ten M4 Sherman. Since Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 aims for realism all. units are as strong or weak as they were historically. This Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 video shows how nearly invincible a tiger tank can be.
This isn’t a regular mission from Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943, it’s a custom made mission that I’ve created with the ToW 2 Battle Generator, a very cool tool of Theatre of War 2 Africa 1943 that allows you to create missions in less than a few minutes. It’s amazingly simple.
Greatdictator reviews : Tropico
Looking for a nice peaceful island with no tyranny and oppression? Well you’re on the wrong island because this is Tropico! Ruled by a GREAT Dictator, (pun fully intended) obey, or do you wish to get shot?
If you’re looking for another Sim City game this one isn’t it because in this one you can actually lose control of your island and citizens rebel. The games music and graphics are totally great. This is one of the few games out there that’s hard to find faults in.
Let’s hope Tropico 3 is just as good as the first 2. I can’t wait to have my dictator walk around the streets!
