Black Myth Wukong Video, @theRadBrad walk-Through.

Black Myth Wukong is a new action RPG developed and published by Game Science

Man, this is a fantastic game! Thanks to @theRadBrad, I was able to see multiple endings and whatnot. The level of game play, development, story etc. is all top tier. I would say, I’m gobsmacked; this game is off the charts. Not to mention video quality of the content. Honestly, I don’t keep up with upcoming games or what’s set to launch. That’s why I rely on content creators like Brad, Kayoss, and the NES Play-through folks who are experts at what they do and great to have around.

I have no idea what’s to come in the gaming world, but if this game is just a small glimpse of what’s to come; graphics, story, voice acting, performance all working together. The realism is there, but with a good mix of Chinese lore. The lore here might be worth spending a little more time on for someone who wants more information. It’s like Warhammer in the fact that the backstory is worth poking around, exploring and watching other video where it makes sense.

Lab Work – Review – MLB The Show 23

Grew up playing baseball, dreaming of the big leagues “bigs’. MLB The Show 23 Video Review starts with a similar dream sequence where your character dreams of being drafted and playing baseball professionally. Get drafted.

As a huge baseball fan at heart let’s talk about MLB The Show 23 first. The game has been out for a year now, with 24 being available for some time since it’s initial release in March 2024. From a demand perspective,MLB The Show 23 is currently discounted ($29.99). Don’t miss out on this great game for the price. You can also pick up MLB The Show 24 at its normal price ($69.99). Pricing may change, assume it will. This article was written as seasonal/quarterly pricing dropped. We will cover that game and the upgrades in the next month or two.

For us, there are a lot of pre-play modifications, design and character modifications, customization options, such as scanning your face for those who want their player to look like themselves virtually. Special character features are included in MLB The Show 23. We skipped around, and created one of the biggest virtual players (similar to an Aaron Judge type character),and jumped into the game. If it’s your first time playing The Show, keep it simple. You can always update and modify your character as you continue to improve their ball skills and perks. Those who want to modify their avatars can do so. As I mentioned, you’ll keep modifying your player throughout the game.

Character, check. Position, second base, check. Team, Houston Astros, check. Goals, make it to the Majors, an All Star Game, Home Run Derby if possible, and a Championship. Let’s play. Teams will come and go, but in hindsight. I wasn’t focused on one particular team, or a favorite team. So, Houston it is, starting out in their Double AA affiliate, the Corpus Christi Hooks. And onto the Triple AAA affiliate, the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, as a first baseman. I was having trouble with throwing mechanics, so it made sense why I was ultimately moved to Tampa, once I made it ‘To The Show’.

Keep it simple, second base, play as much as I can. Learn how to hit, different areas of the field, ‘stealing’ and general feel for the game. Don’t over look the game packs as I did. Build your players skills, talents, equipment list and play often. Another pointer, try and develop relationships with other players, when at bat, or batting, look around to see who is on base; look to drive in those players; effectively furthering the relationship with players on the diamond. Same can be said with hitting, learn the mechanics, pitches (pitch horizon, target zone and pitch types. We will keep this above all the hitting and pitching details. There is a lot there as I said above.

Ok, formal play, we play our way through the first season, limited missteps, but throwing remains a problem. Note, you can go back to the main screen and choose to play ‘old school’ baseball mechanics. This limits controller bindings, limiting buttons, pad and sticks/bumpers. Back to the game. We moved up to the Big Show in our second season, not for long… the move from Houston to Tampa came fairly quick as expected. What I didn’t expect was the move from Second to First Base. Perhaps I should’ve. So, first base it is, MLB team, Tampa Bay Rays.

So, this is where I spent a lot of my time building my characters skills, stats, perks, equipment and more. Give those in game challenges a go, fail fast. Packs are going to help your characters specials or influence player type. My player type is a home run ball hitter, going yard’, a Great Bambino type (*for you Sandlot Super Fans); a super contact hitter. Power comes later. Stealing is a bit dry here in the early game play. My player just doesn’t have the speed or the right timing. Get the practice in while you can, like my fielding, stealing is some what of a mystery (I stay away from later in the game).

We celebrate our first All Star games on both the AA and AAA affiliates, and get into a good pattern of limiting field errors and going yard (hitting home runs).

We Continue with In-Game challenges and Practice

Things I wish I knew to start: equipment packs, open those asap. You can earn packs by completing the in-game challenges, do so. Two, once an action has been selected, (meaning the choice was made to play a game vs sim a game)… actively participate in in-game skills challenges. If you don’t know what you’re doing, before hopping into the game, take some practice time.

Practice time, helps with all around skills, remote control stuff (how to hold it, familiarize yourself with the controls, what does what etc.). You’ve really got 4 to 5 seasons to move onto another team, play often and try to hit home runs.

Moving on, so, 4 years with the Rays, following the 2 first year seasons. I will maintain a lookout for other teams interest, to see if we can create a super team. For now, Tampa is the team. Also, the team where we go on to win the first of three World Series Titles.

Two More Titles

Two titles won with Tampa, separate seasons, the second coming late in the middle third of my career  ~88 – 90 range of experience points. Riding out the first WS and the rookie contract, no takers, we whined up with the Durham Bulls in the off season following contract arbitration. Missing out on a max deal, and not knowing how the game ‘functions’ just yet.. meaning expected outcomes vs moves that might take you in the direction you want to go with your career.

Missed Max Deal, Picked up by the Astros, Durham Bulls.

This is the time, where game play, or playing (playing each game vs simulating a game, month or season) makes more sense. The cutscenes will keep you in line with game expectations and outcomes, if you so choose to pay attention to those scenes. Our first Home Run Derby was a flop, while the All Star game was a mild success. Not my best game, but sticking to the 3 for 4, multi-home run achievement per game. A divisional MVP and a Second World Series. See images below here. I’ll post some of my next stint in a future post.. as I’m trying to keep this surface level content.

Let’s Wrap Up, Onto a 4th WS Title

The jump off point, late in my career, I want to win, best options are not on the table… so, spring ball is where I go. Missing out on a third max contract. Unfortunately, of the teams offering contracts – Brewers, Cardinals, Reds and Padres; I was not interested. Like before, we ended up choosing our next team, which came in the form of a pin-stripe uniform. The Yankees, love ’em or hate ’em, I was playing first base, max contract for 2 years, late in my career. Now at that 90-92 experience score level. Almost playing every game in the season, so, time will tell where the season ends.

Quick ending here, we wrap up with our agent/player discussion, and what’s next for the veteran. Ultimately choosing to move on, the article closes with the ‘pursuit’ of a fourth go around; a 4th World Series. I missed out on a second in Houston, but that’s fine. I’ll come back to the game in the next few months as a new player, maybe a lefty pitcher; a Dennis Eckersley or Randy Johnson type – super tall, lanky, sub-ball thrower, throwing heat. So, I’ll leave you with this – keep it simple, max out your player, play often, sim less if you can. Win those card packs, before you choose which item to select, use triangle to preview value. You can always dump players, doubles or discard traits you don’t want onto the online marketplace. Yes, you can sell cards too. Finally, increase your power, contact, speed and equipment.

More On Elden Ring DLC

Let’s discuss @theRadBrad & @FightnCowboy Do Elden Ring – Shadow of the ErdTree DLC

Elden Ring DLC Review Start

Lab Work – Review – Elden Ring DLC – Shadow Of The ErdTree by @theRadBrad and @fightnCowboy

First of all, let’s kick off the Elden Ring DLC Video Review with compliments and kudos to @theRadBrad for the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the ErdTree and @FightnCowboy for their DLC coverage, play-throughs and game play. We appreciate the hours you both put into covering the game as content creators. Obviously, the skills needed to complete the main game and the DLC are something I don’t have (yet), but thanks to you both, it might be possible one day.

Secondly, the process of sharing content on YouTube for the masses is at an exceptional pace. Both of you have a tremendous number of followers, with videos and playlists going back many years. This article is a compliment to the two content creators, and a show of appreciation for their game play.

BorneSouls Experience

So, let’s stay topical, IMO (in my opinion), the best game to date. My gaming knowledge is somewhat superficial, so take it with a grain of salt. Let me set the stage: while working, most of the time, if not all the time, I’ve got YouTube running content on a tertiary monitor for this very reason. Again, I say it’s topical (superficial is a little harsh), but out of all the games I’ve purchased and played over the years, this seems to be the best all-around game. Now, the caveat, unfortunately, my limited experience with BorneSouls games places me in the novice to beginner category. That’s a timing thing. My time is focused on the business, complemented by such YouTube creators.

Content Consumption

It’s fair to say that I’ve watched most of @theRadBrads public content, mainly focusing on new releases and delving deeper into digging more into niche games and Final Fantasy type games. So, yes, it’s fair to say I’ve grown accustomed to the play-through cadence and tempo that Brad publishes. This cadence can certainly be influenced by his members. with shout-outs for likes and subscribes. Always go to see, content driven by members. Furthermore, I think that is where other creators can help or complement game play, walk-throughs, guides, etc. This is where @fightnCowboy comes in. Again, it’s about complementing the two content creators rather than comparing the them.

I’ve more recently added @fightnCowboy to the manual playlist, depending on work load. Right now, I’m cruising through The Last Faith play-through again. It’s great content for coding, writing and creating if you ask me. Honestly, my schedule is all over the place, so I could spend more time watching livestreams. On that same point, I gravitate towards the D&D games, RPGs and ‘beat ’em ups’. Lately,  from a nostalgia perspective, the ‘beat ’em ups’ have been at the top of the playthrough list. This includes the Elden Ring games, BorneSouls, ‘metroid-vania’ style games, Hellblade, Ghost, God Of War, Assassins’ (really too many to note here, but we will continue to cover such games and give insight where applicable).

Elden Ring Experience And DLC Next Steps

I’m currently stuck on Margit myself. I have a Samurai Build that is more focused on farming.  Farming is where I spend most of my time these days. Margit keeps spoiling my progress, acting as a blocker for weeks. So, for now, I’ll stick to farming. At least until I do more research,  watch more videos, and see more play-throughs that can help me get past Margit. I have to admit, I wouldn’t have made it this far without the play-through content; it’s essential. I just need to spend more time in the game chair to make progress. I’m determined to get there, even if it takes me all year. 

It’s fair to say I’ve failed miserably at finding time to play and progressing through the game has been a bit more challenging. Limited time has meant limited play, so farming has beome more of a focus these days as my character is still in the early stages. I have found a few farming areas with giants, common turtles, poison blobs, and more. So, I am spending the much needed time farming and upgrading my character (samurai). I definitely need to clean up a few giant farming sessions and spend time leveling up.

Moving onto the DLC, we can’t access it until we finish Elden Ring, main content). It might take me the rest of the year.

From a content perspective, I have been reviewing the gameplay and walk throughs, which is important as I am so far behind on the main content and just wrapping up the last phases of the Elden Ring DLC. This is by far my personal favorite game to watch,  and I can’t wait to play it myself. It acts as a fantastic follow-up to the original game. Hats off to the creators and designers of this series, which hopefully continues like the other BorneSouls games. Dare I say, the DLC should be announced or voted as game of the year? Perhaps even more.

Lastly, I want to steer away from comparing the two content creators and instead five a shoutout to both @theRadBrad and @FightnCowboy. This article is intended to be a quick read, a followup to the DLC video, and a platform to share our thoughts on the DLC. It is also a recommendation, highlighting  Elden Ring/Elden Ring DLC play-through.  Ultimately, it is another reason why you should watch other content creators and gamer playlist.

@FightinCowboy Does Dark Souls 3 Video

Lab Work – Dark Souls 3 Video

Watch the Dark Souls 3 (DS3) video, this is an epic game in the SoulsBorne genre,

Dark Souls is a redefining and continuation of the FromSoftware and Bandai teams. Got to love a good Dark Souls video game series, specifically Dark Souls 3… Dark Souls is another iteration of the famed (in my opinion) FromSoftware and Hidetaka Miyazaki.

I think it’s fair to say, FromSoftware has created some very good games such as the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne series, Armored Core, Demon’s Souls and Sekiro game… there are more, but I wanted to mention the game titles and series I know of from a historical perspective.

Honestly, it’s a tall order to beat the developers and dev teams in terms of game design, difficulty, and epic adventures and so on. Dark Souls is it’s own “beast” of a game series and I hope the same direction and game play carries on through the Elden Ring series, *which seems to be the case with the recent release of Elden Ring DLC – Shadow of the ErdTree.

I should preface my comments as I am a viewer, so please take my comments with a grain of salt. I can only speak from a viewers perspective as I just can’t put together a good Elden Ring run to save my virtual backside. In terms of Buy or Pass, Dark Souls 3 is a “future buy” or wishlist item for me… I wouldn’t belabor the point.

Elden Ring Review

Let’s Catch Up, The Elden Ring Review

We Discuss @theRadBrad Conquer Elden Ring

Elden Ring Video Review

Lab Work – Review – Elden Ring content produced by @theRadBrad

FromSoftware is setting a standard and pace for the gaming market with the Elden Ring. In this we cover the video and more. Hidetaka Miyazaki has truly outdone himself and we applaud him for it. I recently discovered the SoulsBorne series on YT. For the definition, check out How-To Geek. Thanks to several YouTube creators, Elden Ring is considered the best game of all time. This game truly takes the cake, and may reason for purchasing it.

First, @theRadBrad takes us on an epic journey, through an open-world concept, where we fight and farm along the way. There are very few games that I would rank above this one. Brad makes a game look easy, emphasizing the importance of farming and leveling up during offline time.

Top 5 Games Various Consoles

Next, let’s briefly discuss the best game ever! Elden Ring. It definitely deserves a spot on the list for PS5 console, ranking in the top 2 at least. As a big fan of this game, I must say it is truly epic and out of this world. With over 30 years of experience in gaming, watching, playing, and reading, I can confidently say a lot for the Bandai team. My only hope is that the team continues to expand the  Elden Ring series like the Souls and Borne titles, which are revolutionary in there own or on there own.

Games At The Top, Topping Such a list as greatest game ever

Let’s continue on, treating this Elden Ring Review journey more as a comparative activity. Starting with console games, a few titles that stand out in my opinion are Tony Hawk on PS2, F-Zero, Golden Eye, Mario Kart, the Final Fantasy Series, Rad Racer, D&D, and Zelda. The list goes on, but I digress.

Let’s also consider some Arcade game titles such as TMNT, Simpsons, XMEN, NBA Jam, Golden Tee PGA TOUR, Street Fighter Tournament, D&D, Jurassic Park, and Galaga (I’m terrible at it, @DKOG73 does it right). Additionally, classic pinball games like Indiana Jones Pinball from 1993 by Williams, most SNES games and table tennis (Ping Pong) are worth mentioning. I have just started playing the game myself, and it’s on my list of things to do in my downtime, so stay tuned for additional commentary.

Let’s continue the Elden Ring Review, in my opinion, as a viewer, Elden Ring tops the charts. Elden Ring is definitely at the peak across the board. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I follow games closely, both new and vintage. I wanted to share my thoughts on one of the top two games of all times. Elden Ring is top tier, especially in today’s market, 1. it excels in epic graphics, 2. fluidity of in game fighting 3. play and combat, narration and voice talent (check) and 4. game difficulty.

After playing for under 20 hours at home, I haven’t even come close to 1% completion. Shoutout to @theRadBrad who makes this SoulsBorne like EldenRing game look easy; it’s not. I’ve learned that the hard way, farming is key to success, similar to D&D where XP and complementary skills are crucial. It’s been a while, more than 6 months since I’ve played D&D.  Maybe it’s time to start up a solo, old school D&D game again.

Moving on, the dialogue and voice talent in Elden Ring are superb, with minimal player hiccups and NPC interaction. Frame-to-frame degradation is minimal, and game performance on the console appears flawless (except for some degradation around the ErdTree, but were not here to stare at the tree). Overall, from a viewer’s perspective, very few issues are noticeable.

Now that the DLC is out, check out the DLC video and DLC review. Thanks for all the support on this series, same for the Last Faith video and Last Faith Review out now. Just keep up all the likes, views and support. I’ll keep adding new games to the backlog.

Lastly, Honestly, this is something you need to check out for yourself. Here is where Brad does a great job with transitions and pace seemingly not allowing those ill-fated pitfalls to undermine the play-through. In conclusion, IMO (in my opinion), this is the most epic game ever, but take that with a grain of salt. We all come from various backgrounds, gaming styles, etc., so we can all appreciate the work Bandai and company put into this title. Compliments to the gamer here, Brad’s tempo and production cadence is a huge plus, providing easy-to-consume Elden Ring content. Finally, the game is truly a masterpiece, and Brad’s easy listening narration style, which complements the work load.
