Myrmidon Rising

Im finally in Liurnia! This is big for me, because as yall know, I am lazy and suck at this game so to finally leave the "starting area" for true is kind of awesome. But I mean I kinda wander around and get murdered a lot so it is what it is. Ive decided to look at a map and be a little more prepared next time

We're back in full swing, and I do mean SWING, like the big awkward two handed sword I use to embarrass Godrick with. Yes, I use summons and yes, I missed a bunch of shit in Stormveil Castle. One of these days Ill go back and get all that crap but it won't be today. This marks an interesting milestone though, Ive never gotten past Godrick in any playthrough (I stop playing, not because he's overly hard) so even though there was like a 19 week gap between my last videos and these recent ones....I guess this series is doing its job? Holding me accountable until I finish it. LETSGOOOOO MyrmidonRising.Substack.com for more content! Currently writing a set of articles so you dont wanna miss those when they do come out!

I filmed this before disappearing for like a year. The next episode I acknowledge the big gap. Sorry folks.

So I made this series so I could hold myself accountable and actually finish a game. I proceeded to stop making them and didnt finish the game. Welcome back folks! As always, Im also writing stuff at MyrmidonRising.Substack.com, subscribe and take a look!

My rivalry with the Tree Sentinel ends (totally amicably, I promise) and I wander around for a bit like a certain doddering Ice-cream-Lover-in-Chief, not quite knowing where I am or what Im doing. I then get assaulted by birds

Oh man, my brain is off. Didnt realize my AC unit was blasting in the background so I had to scrap some footage. So Im not in the same spot I was last time. Sorry yall :( MyrmidonRising.Substack.com for more content! Just outlined another essay, gonna be working on that tomorrow

In my glorious return after being sick as all Hell, I embarrass Margit and then embarrass myself. Also a dragon dies, v.sad (cause of death: overdose of comically large sword to the ankles)

My glorious return after being sick for a few days. Still sick, just not as bad. To combat my sickness, I fight the night-time bosses. It goes as expected. Dont forget to check MyrmidonRising.Substack.com for more content, Im going to try updating that more regularly, and pick my Unabridged History of Gaming series back up.

This one goes to 11. Watch the Ancient Hero of Zamor kick the shit out of me until I learn the sneaky-sneak move to clinch the W. Also the Skeletons in the Tombsward Catacombs were so much more of a problem than the boss lmfao

Holy crap, are we already at #10? To celebrate, I do absolutely nothing special at all. I DO, however, get extremely side-tracked and it takes me 30+ minutes to do something that should have taken like 5. But hey, that's what you're here for, right? (Tell me, why tf ARE you here? Comment below) Also, as always, MyrmidonRising.Substack.com for more!

So, I tear my way through Fort Haight, only to realize it's not even Fort Haight, it's Castle Morne and I can't read. So I go to the *REAL* Fort Haight. Hilarity ensues. Man, if only my brain was not made of fuck

With Fort Haight taken back, I decide to wander the Weeping Peninsula in an attempt to get to the Minor Erdtree. Nothing funny happens whatsoever and I dont even get hit

Come with me as I stumble my way through Fort Haight! Subscribe at MyrmidonRising.Substack.com for more content!

I make short work of Patches, confuse Kenneth Haight with the author Jonathan Haight, and start to hit something of an upward stride. Next episode will be me retaking Fort Haight, stay tuned for that! Also dont forget to subscribe at MyrmidonRising.Substack.com for more content! Im only just getting started, have many plans for content on both platforms.

Really getting smacked around today, whoever invented the chariot automaton is an asshole. Dont forget to check my Substack for equally dumb stuff: MyrmidonRising.Substack.com

Welcome back folks! Still chugging my way through this game, still getting slapped around. I talk about nightmares, get ambushed by bears, and get a game-changing sword. Dont forget I also write on Substack! Its like 70% video games and 30% whatever else I feel like. Working on a very long, comprehensive project called the "Unabridged History of Gaming" and it goes all the way back to theories of play, and games that animals play in the wild. Fun stuff imo check it out at MyrmidonRising.Substack.com

Im back! Last time yall got a live (ish) view of what my brain goes through when Im just trying to enjoy a video game. But I remembered Im here for me, if anyone finds it entertaining or wants to watch along, cool. Hold me accountable and tell me how I can improve. Side note: Im on Substack! I write dumb things, mostly video game stuff but also politics and culture, just sort of whatever I feel like. However I try not to write about anything in a topical manner; I try to touch on "evergreen" concepts, even in my simpler pieces. Tell me what you think! MyrmidonRising.Substack.com

I am very much not good at this game. But I finally get ahold of pants! AND a hat! Give me tips on how to not be boring. Engagement is necessary for growth and honest criticism is both welcomed and desired!

Well folks, its about that time! Finally got the PC of my dreams and can do all the fun projects Ive been meaning to work on. Including this one. Why Accountability Gaming? Because you all are gonna keep me accountable. I never finish video games. And I often buy stuff during Steam sales and barely touch them, so this channel will be all about actually finishing the games I buy. Starting with Elden Ring, cause Im a serial "start a game and then restart to try new stuff a million times" type of guy so Im gonna actually try and sit down and finish it. Side note: I know my audio is kinda fucky, one of these days Ill be able to afford proper equipment but today is not that day. I also just record all in one go, maybe Ill create a playlist for clips or something but for now, you're getting the raw, unedited footage and all my stupidity and awkwardness that goes along with it.
