Nexus the Jupiter Incident Star trek-Universe at war

With the release of a few games base of sci-fi series like Star Trek Online and Stargate Resistance. I remembered Nexus the Jupiter Incident, a game very few people seem to knows unlike Homeworld series or Sins of a Solar Empire. Nexus the Jupiter Incident never reached it’s full potential as it was suppose to when named Imperium Galactica III. But still have some really impressive capacities and a few mod maker took advantage of this by making amazingly good looking mods. Star trek Universe at war mod is probably one of them.

This video feature a mission I created myself in less then 10 min, thanks to the Skirmisher mod and the very easy mission editor that the game provide. I put the game in cinematic mod so the AI controls the ship and camera with a good looking result. I hope you will enjoy even is space games don’t attract as many people as other type of games…

Hearts of Iron III is a game i played a lot lately and many people asked me by chat what it was and wanted to see some video of it. Since that game really isn’t much of a graphical game and more a mind game. This video will has commentaries that you can lisen to where i explain what I’m doing.

The gameplay video is set to 3 time the speed i played it so that you guys don’t fall asleep. I also invaded Italy because it would not take too long…

The Perk Marathon allows to run none stop for a longer distance. This perk allows to move arround faster in the environnements and take advantage on the enemy by flanking him. In the context where you need to pull back for tactical reason, this perk can make the difference between life and death.
This perk is easly addaptable to all difficulty level. It is espetially usefull when the player adopt an offensive strategy and want to engage the enemies faster. The pro version of this perk allow to climb ladders and cover faster. This speed reduce the time you are expose without your gun while climbing.
It also combine very well with the ninja perk. Since running make a lot of noise, the ninja perk make it silent. You can also use the lightweight to increase your running speed and to be able to raise your gun much faster when you stop running helping to be ready in a face to face. If you like to run around, you may also like to jump around, so you can complete the set with commando perk that allows you to fall without damage. And since running make you get close to your enemies faster, the commando perk may help you kill the enemies faster with the knife. While marathon perk is mostly a moving perk, it may also be usefull for player that enjoy camping since it allows to redeploy to a better spot faster or allows to flee from your enemies to a better and safer spot.

One Man Army is a perk that allows you to switch you class at anytime during the game by replacing your secondary weapon. It allows you to replace your class without having to die, meaning that you can simply switch to the same class for an easy ammo refill. This ammo refill capacity is what make One Man Army a useful perk. You can hide in a safe place and use it to gain back all your initial ammo without dying.

This is practical for many style of gameplay. With Claymore and C4 you can deploy them, switch to the same class and put more explosive.
You can also put 2 claymore switch to a class with C4 and put some around. That’s very useful for creating a defensive system. You can also use one man army to switch to a class with the sit rep perk while advancing into potential mine field. And switch back to your regular class once you know where your going. It’s also very usefull for snipers that don’t like exposing themselves to get ammo. The only downside being, that you cannot quickly switch to your secondary weapon, you will need to switch to an other class. In the case where you actually anticipate close combat you will be in good condition to face your enemy with the class you switched to. The down side for snipers is that this perk put a yellow bag on your back that may not help your stealth as a sniper. One man army is also usefull for people using light machine gun, switching to the same kit is actually faster then reloading most light machine gun. You can also use this perk to switch to a class better equip to face enemy air support such as having cold blooded or a light machine gun to shoot down plane and cobra. If you start using One Man Army, you will likely end up setting up many custom class that use this perk to be able to switch to each one, anytime you want.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Bling Perk strategy Review is more a podcast then an animated video. Since I like to share my strategies and my subscriber like some visual stimulation, I figured I might as well upload that as a podcast so that the maximum people can take advantage of what i may say about it. I hope this will help player that may not have understand the potential of the perks I’m talking about. As for experienced player this may confirm what you know and I highly encourage you to comment to complete the information I say.

Many people appear to have terrible performence in the beta version of Battlefield Bad Company 2. The first reflex for most people is to actually think their computer is bad. Well the good news is that it’s likely not the case. This guide will explain you how to turn a very laggy experience into a good experience smooth gameplay.

if you actually have the requirement for the game
OS: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad or higher
Memory: 2GB
Graphics: 256 MB Video Card (GeForce 7800 GT / ATI X1900) (or better)

The game support Directx 9 10 and 11 and is configured to choose the highest directx your GPU can use.

While that choice allow you to get the best visual quality it may tax your system way to much, in my case for exemple I ended up having arround 24 fps meaning nearly unplayable because my GPU support directx 10.1. But while it support it, my ATI 3870 doesn’t seem to be able to answer the higher demand of that directx and this is the case for many people. The solution is fairly simple.

You go in “My Documents” folder then “BFBC2Beta”. Open the file “settings.ini” with the notepad.

Go to the like DxVersion=auto and change it to DxVersion=9. Save the file and launch the game.
This should allow you to play in the less demanding directx the game support and increase significally you fps. In my case it went from 24 to 49 or more.

Also you may want to disable Bloom by changing Bloom=true to Bloom=false. The bloom in the game appear to be too intense for the eyes of many people. it can be blinding… So having bloom disable may increase performence and make it easier for you to spot people.

By default HSAO is set to false, but if it is set to true you may want to put it on false to increase performence.

Finally if your still lagging after all that, you may want to try to turn everything that is on High or Medium to low.

If you still lagging after all that… well you may need to buy a new GPU after all or new computer and I recommend you to check out my Hardware Guide.

Bling is a perk that allows you to use two attachment to your weapons. While there are many potential attachment mix. I found Bling mostly useful when it came to kill enemies with FMJ rounds to unlock larger clip. But here are some combination I find useful. For the assault rifle at normal, using a silencer and an aiming device allows you to remain stealthy on the radar without being force to use the iron sight. While at hardcore using an aiming device and FMJ can allow you to kill your enemies easier even as they hide behind cover. You may also find practical on both mode to use the heartbeat sensor combine with an aiming device to have an edge on the enemies. With sub machine gun you may want to combine rapid fire or silencer and akimbo. Like for assault rifle you may want to use a silencer and the aiming devise of your choice. You could also gain from using extended mag with an other attachment. With light machine gun, the grip allows you to increase you accuracy, using bling you can also use an aiming device to aim making it easier to kill your enemies. With sniper rifle you may find very useful to use the silencer and thermal scope. The silencer keep you off the radar and reduce the flash of your gun, while the thermal score may help you spot your enemies. Bling is a very useful perk that allows you to customize your weapon into something your are comfortable with, without the sacrifice of one weapon attachment instead of the other.

This time I choose to comment on one of my old Rome Total War Multiplayer battle from 2006. Enjoy

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

The following is an update. I am no longer doing the pokemon emerald run. I would like suggestions for rnthroughs. doesn’t have to be the things I suggested. I lost soooo much Pokemon emerald footage that I don’t want to do it again. I am open to any ideas and please to do give them.

This is the second installment in my Pokemon Emerald Walkthrough. I will not be posting these on dateyourgame as soon as I put them up so I don’t clog the homepage with my stuff. I catch my second pokemon in this video and it’s a zigzagoon. I am using a zigzagoon because of the normal type and the pickup abbility. I have 5 episodes up and around 3/4 of the game recorded. I will be posting them when I am done the recording most likely. Pokemon games are extremely strategic if you were wondering why some would make a pokemon game runthrough. They require a good amount of strategy if you wish to actually succeed in them. I have been playing these games since I was quite little so I have a bit of a knack for them you might say.

In this video I get through the beginning story and choose treeko as my starter. I chose treeko because I wanted a bit of challenge plus I don’t see many treeko runs out there. I used camtasia to record this and the Visual Boy Advanced emulator. I will be posting the rest of this run currently there is only 4 videos but I have got somewhere around 13 videos of footage recorded. I will be periodically posting these on Dyg after this weekend.

In this episode, I don’t have much to say about the battle other then explaining how I defend forts. Many people would believe that defending the wall is the best way to win a fight. But actually, like in previous Total War it isn’t so. By defending the wall in Empire Total War, you divide your army and you force them to fight in melee. Armed Citizen are worthless in melee, so defending the walls with them mean letting them die. On the other hand the gun of an armed citizen kill enemies as well as any other gun. So this mean that their strength. The enemy AI is focusing on capturing the flag in the middle of the fort, and he must hold it 2 min. This mean that by deploying your army on the path leading to the flag, you maximize the time where the enemies are under fire without shooting back. Since they hold the flag they remain under fire and if they hold it long you can send 1 unit to set foot in the flag zone to restart it. This strategy allow you to hold your fort very easily with a minimum casualties.

In this episode the war against Savoy keep going and I finish the British armies on that pillage a port. In an attempt to slow down the pace of Savoy raid they do on my territory, I send a small army to fight them on their territory. The Savoy response is to send all their forces into the fight.

Because of the number of enemies cavalry I was force to face, I rapidly switched my soldier to bayonet and the melee fight followed. It was clear early on that I would not win this battle and all I could do is to make my soldiers old the longest and regrouping them. While this is a defeat, it does have much consequences on the campaign.

This battle is actually the most decisive one in the war against Savoy. Savoy choose to attack Paris, while I didn’t have much regular troop there, Paris is defended by a lot of armed citizen. Those units are not very good, but at the same time, they have a lot of guns to kill the enemies. So The battle quickly turned to my advantage and the enemies found themselves surrounded by a greater number of gun. One of the aspect a few people pointed out is the fact that when I make my final charge a few of my armed citizen nearly panic. Well from my point of view, this is meaning less. Armed Citizen are highly expendable troop since they refill automatically and even if all armed citizen had panic the regular troop would have finish the fight anyway. Armed citizen are expected to panic so it’s no big deal.

This is an other video of Men of War in Coop. In this mission you need to hold a series of trench against an overwhelming german assault. The key to the fight is really cooperation and well placed airstrike. As you can see in this video this game contain a lot of vehicle and artillery of all kind, so at the end of the video I show the Thor Cannon we captured later on as an exemple. Enjoy!

For all of you wondering where this game is available visit.

This chronicle start with a naval battle. I actually don’t have much to say about the battle other then it was even in term of fleet strength. I used the line formation without much success considering the ship AI really didn’t followed the line in an effective way. So I lost 3 ship while the Dutch lost all the fleet. But while I won, this battle pretty much made my remaining fleet useless from a strategic point of view.

Back to the strategic level of the game, the first action I took was to exempt London region from tax in order to slowly convert the hostile population to their new master while getting more reinforcement from the continent to continue the war. As you can see, the mighty british army reacted to the war, but was ineffective at blocking my reinforcement.

My second priority was to push back the british small armies and rebels away from london and I divided my forces to achieve it. In England after some skirmish around the place I capture Scotland without much opposition and the city turn out to be fairly easy to please by just exempting them from any tax.

While the war rage in England in the south of France, Savoy start a raiding campaign against me and it promise to be annoying for a while without really hurting me much. That would lead me to weaken my defense on the German front and give the opportunity to my enemies there to attack with false hope to capture my territory.

Episode 5: Blood and Bullets.

Join the Council in an attack on LeFey’s lab, hidden underneath a cathederal.

Episode 4: Full Moon.

Scout the English countryside for one of LeFey’s secret research laboratories.

In this battle I command Romans, and my opponent is in command of the Romans as well.

I hope you guys like this battle.
