I'm a chemistry professor who likes to play videogames to relax outside of work. Recently I've been interested in recording myself playing various games and watching the replays to try and see what misplays I am making to improve my game. Figured I would upload them to TH-cam. This is just a fun side project for me, if you enjoy any of the videos more power to ya. If you have any friendly advice to offer about my play that would be appreciated. Also randomly started learning pixel art.
Primarily addicted to Mechabellum at the moment, and posting a lot of videos to look back as I learn this very complex game.

[Mechabellum] Learning PvP: Boat Finish Against Sledge
Feel like I could have won this one a couple different ways. My opponent kept making their own chaff clear weaker.

[Mechabellum] Learning PvP: Don't Challenge Air Spec In the Air
Played a game as cost control vs. an elite specialist and lost terribly. Now I'm here on youtube to find some tips about how I could have handled the elite specialist better.
@@cristiandavid5776 I need to pick elite spec more. It's one of the hardest in my opinion because it limits flexibility. But in skilled hands it can be dominant.
I don't know if 3 sets if crawlers instead of two would have done it but it would have been close. Im personally not a fan of hackers, they feel awkward to counter. I like to go a lot of chaff and then some mustangs to kill the hacked chaff fast so i get to the hackers asap.
And if they get online, your only hope is too the skies, sell everything and go air lol
I find I have a bit of a weird relationship with air. I find I either go too hard, and completely lost the ground game and die. Or I just have a wraith/overlord that gets devoured with little contribution. Pre 1.0 I felt I was on a decent trend with game knowledge. But recently I find myself very confused. Still a fun game though!
I feel like some late chaff would have helped a lot. Or early chaff for that matter, like crawlers, I never go aggro without crawlers. I think you can rely a lot better on the techs when the chaff is on point you know.
Spider mines was kind of a stop gap to help with that, but I didn't have enough for the appropriate effect. In the back of my head, towards the beginning, I was thinking fangs, with shield, and fang production on the forts. But I got distracted from that. I need to stick to plans better.
@lighttricksplays I get that, I was thinking you were gonna click shield. Plans change tho, you need to stay reactive, especially when playing agrro. I definitely had the problem in matches of trying to force a plan when the game was giving me different things. I guess thats whats cool about mechabelum, you need to have a plan but be prepared to change it each round.
Nice and relaxing
Thanks :)
GG, I rarely manage to make carry mustangs work myself, they are strong tho. Oh thanks for fixing the sound, its great now!
@@Discojericho Glad the sound level is more optimized! I'll be feeling around the meta for a while. Every patch I feel like I forget how to play.
Really wonder how that last round would play after the nerfs lol
Probably poorly LOL
Love the games, you inspired me to play more aggro and now that's all I play! Small suggestion, maybe you could turn the music down a bit, its difficult to hear you at times.
@@Discojericho Glad you liked it! I like aggro because it feels like the match is at least on my terms, win or lose. I'll adjust the audio levels a bit.
Fun game, subscribed!
GG, I think when the game goes this long and you still have an exposed tower you should fortify it but I almost always go symmetrical.
Yeah, I definitely tunneled a bit and could have spent my money a bit better.
Y’know Ive never seen this game before so it wasn’t until 2/3rds of the way through the video that I realized that theirs a unit named Hacker and your not actually going against a hacker xd
LOL, had my fair share of confusion like that with new games. Gets worse because communities within games often use nicknames too.
Cool
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hackers are in deed coll
Yeah I've found a lot of people skipping weak units to block and hackers just counter in late rounds
Much better on the audio thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!
Great change
Your videos are nice and relaxing but would it be possible for you to turn the volume up next time? It would be great if because currently i need to turn the volume up quite a bit to be able to properly hear everything. I hope you have a nice week.
I'll play around with the audio. Thanks for the feedback! Just voice, or everything in general? I boosted voice audio a good bit and the rest of the video a little. I pre-recorded a few videos so the changes won't come in for a couple days.
@@lighttricksplays Everything. Maybe you could turn it up a little in vegas for the pre-recorded ones?
I'll play around with it when I get an opportunity. Vegas seems to be paid but I'll look for a free alternative or one through my institution. This little youtube project has been great for helping me with figuring out videos for my course content though which is the goal. Thanks.
Also cool
Cool
@@overdrivexd5937 Thanks!
cute
better than what i’d draw
In retrospect I am pretty sure he lead Zaobian with Golzy because they super effectively hit each others weakness. Both can set up so whichever felt less threatened at the moment could go for either a heat up or rage and be a serious threat. After the Golzy set up I probably should have focused into it more. I also probably should have put Yowler as my 2nd and just doubled into the Golzy slot.
Thanks for the video. It took me multiple tries to just get my first win in the dungeon. Ended up doing it with Mage only so far. I had a sick Warlock deck and made it to the last boss but it was Azari and he stole all my cards and dominated me. Keep the videos coming!
Dungeon runs as far as I can tell are basically skill for the first 3-5 bosses and 50/50 skill and luck on deck building for the final stretch. Mage was my first win too.
I couldn't agree more. I've lost multiple games where I have the cards I need in my deck but I just can't draw them. I guess that is the beast of the ever present RNG of Hearthstone. Thanks for the reply!
another thing to note is that on your last turn you replace your dispel (again). the only thing that can save you is a way to deal with the ranged threat. if you replaced pact you could have walked up left, dropped Sarlac, then dispelled the 7/5 buying yourself another turn or two to win it.
Yeah rewatching the recording I cringed at the two times I had a change to dispel the jaxi and it would have been a non issue. It was my first time playing against that archetype of Songhai, didn't know they had that move spell. Caught me off guard each time.
at 8:32 you could have brought him down to 2 hitpoints if you used Soulshatter Pact and went face + cleared L'kian. you don't wanna hold onto Soulshatter at all costs, getting an opponent really low when you know you won't have a board next turn is worth it.
