Secrets of Grindea - Dr. Mando (Masta_Darc) Arcade Mode New Personal Record
Previous filmed High Score w 2H: 1,909,590
Previous filmed High Score matk: 2,125,680
Current filmed High Score w 2H: 2,382,320 w/ 2H WhirlSlash+Heroic Slam
^^ CURSE MULTIPLIER ^^
I don't even enjoy Arcade Mode without curses which make surviving more difficult but add multipliers to the end score. I still didn't utilize Berserk Mode because I'm not filming the Pixel Ferrets Edition of Mission Impossible. I just finished attracting some birds for a strange old lady in the park (and accomplished that) but also got some pretty crazy pins... As of this writing, this 2H Whirl-Slash + Heroic-Slam run is the best ATK score run I've ever recorded....It also beat all my previous Mage Runs too! I hope these videos serve as a guide to anyone else who wants to join the small but competitive Secrets of Grindea Arcade Scoreboard community.
I personally think the bosses in this game are too diverse for any 1 playstyle to be called the "best" but mages tend to have an easier time on solo play due to summons. I avoided Frosty Friend (which I do use even on ATK builds sometimes) to demonstrate how unnecessary that summon always has been. It helps 0 with Bishop and isn't much better with most bosses frankly. Pins were crazy per usual with new high scores but this wasn't supposed to be a score run... I'm still rebuilding Arcadia. I think a little more forethought and I could've beaten Bishop. Speaking on Bishop specifically, Earth Specialist with a touch of prismatic for EP management and crit-lord has the most potential especially in conjunction with my Archer playstyle but I'm always eager to be proven wrong...
Fun Behind the Scenes Fact: Whirl-Slash Gold Charge and Heroic Slam Silver Charge was actually the build I used most of the time when CGMontage and I first played Story Mode on Hard Mode back in the day. He focused on Fire Ball and Frosty Friend but handicapped himself by using an Xbox controller instead of a keyboard. Though my keyboard wasn't capable of as many simultaneous inputs so moving while shielding (as an example) was a problem for me. I still distinctly remember seeing 23 hours of gameplay for months before we finally dived into Arcade Mode. At first, we struggled because we weren't used to the slow motion but quickly found out that limited healing was going to be an even bigger problem. I currently play on a Kinesis Gaming Edge Split Keyboard.
"Secrets of Grindea" is currently out of Early Access on Steam and is one of the best purchases for any age or gamer's playstyle.

Secrets of Grindea - Dr. Mando (Masta_Darc) Arcade Mode Bird Quest 2H SmashBall+Whirlslash
I don't even enjoy Arcade Mode without curses which make it more difficult but add multipliers to the end score. I still didn't utilize Berserk Mode because I'm not filming the Pixel Ferrets Edition of Mission Impossible. I was trying to attract some birds for a strange old lady in the park (and accomplished that) but also got some pretty crazy pins... As of this writing, this 2H Smash Whirlslash run is not the best ATK score run I've ever recorded. I undertook another run right afterwards and shattered this record and my mage records so yeah.... I hope these videos serve as a guide to anyone else who wants to join the small but competitive Secrets of Grindea Arcade Scoreboard community.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition - It's A Big Galaxy
A few viewers may have seen a previously recorded playthrough w/ Dr. Mando of this game which is no longer on YouTube. It had subpar audio quality and was recorded using the Xbox 360 version of the game. My commentary partner and I (I being Dr. Mando) planned to replace it with a better quality recording of Legendary Edition which would include all 3 games. However, life took our respective careers and living situations in different directions. There is currently footage of only half of the first Mass Effect game with our commentary though as of this writing it remains in its raw form. I may still yet edit and upload it but for now, I will be sticking to what I'm good at and uploading Secrets of Grindea content.
My current plan is to dig out all Vergo w/ Dr. Mando commentary content I have on hard storage and do some basic editing before uploading for public consumption all at once. Don't worry, Vergo gave me tacit approval via private messages but he no longer lives close by and doesn't even maintain local storage as far as I know so it will just take time. Right now, I'm Youtube first then Rumble just because I'm monetized on neither but any more political or educational stuff will live here on Rumble first because Alphabet->Google->YouTube is too gay for m y content long term. MAGA 4EVER!!!

Seabaugh Plays Skyrim for Mando
I give backseat commentary while my old boss (former Principal of Benton High School) tries to play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I also got him to try Starcraft (90s style) and Runescape. I think he enjoyed when I finally rigged up a controller for Skyrim the best but he ended up giving his HP All-in-One to his nephew and quitting video games to return to a life of watching Fox News, Netflix, HBO, and watering his plants.
