Heroes of the Storm Gameplay - Stiches


Hey everyone, and welcome to more coverage of Heroes of the Storm. Today I'm playing Stiches!

Stiches is an awesome hero - his abilities are very unique and his playstyle can vary significantly depending on how you use said abilities.



Because this is a low level build of Stiches, I will be choosing only from the first two of each set of talents. I will be focusing on building him around his Slam ability, opting for more AoE damage and lane presence than anything else.

He's a lot of fun to play, so join me today as we melt some faces and hook us some baddies with Stiches.

Hope you enjoy this video, and if you have any builds of your own please leave them in the comments section below! Also please make sure to subscribe for all the latest on recent uploads and to catch all the action on the channel. Thanks!

Viewer Support

Hey everyone,

I've been working hard to get as much content out for you as possible. I want to continue making this as great of an experience for you as I possibly can.

However, a great deal of time investment is required to keep things running smoothly, and to always have something new and fresh on the channel and the blog.

As I start to focus more heavily on this project, I want to ask for your help in keeping it growing and moving in the right direction. Your subscriptions on the channel and all the positive comments have been invaluable in keeping me motivated. But, as I get more serious and invest more and more time, it's becoming more difficult for me to keep up on the financial end.

If you enjoy the content here at SPP Gaming, please consider making a small monetary contribution to the project. So far I am the only one working on it - and I have plans of expanding in new directions by bringing more people on board, and making sure that everyone who visits SSP Gaming will have something there for them to enjoy. Whether to upgrade software and hardware used in production, help to pay for additional hands in the production of said content, or just to buy me a beer for a job well done, any amount would be greatly appreciated.

If you'd like to help support this channel, please consider making a donation here. Thank you!

Thank you so very much for your patronage, and I hope to grow with you in this awesome gaming community of ours in the near future.

Learn2Magic: The Basics


Hey everyone,

Welcome to Learn2Magic, a short series all about helping new magic players get into the game and have fun. This series is aimed at people who have never played before, or have played very little. And, especially towards people who want to play either on Magic 2015, or the paper variant.

In this video I discuss the very basics of the game, turn progression, types of cards, resources, game flow, etc.

In future videos  I will go more in depth in specific areas to help the newbies become pros! Well, not really pros, but good enough to play competitively :)

Check out the video here, and enjoy! If you like the content on the channel, please subscribe as it helps a lot, thanks!

Killing Floor 2 - First Impressions



Hey everyone,

I picked up Killing Floor 2 not long ago (April 21) as it was released on Early Access on Steam. Usually I hate early access games and refuse to pay money for incomplete work. But this is a rare exception as I am a big fan of the studio, who proved themselves by developing a title still played today which is around 10 years old.



Here are my first impressions of Killing Floor 2, and my humble opinions on what the game is now, and where it is going. Enjoy!

FNM - Azorious Beats!


Hey everyone!

It's Friday night again, and time for some more Friday Night Magic :D

This week I am playing an Azorious (blue and white) beats deck! We're bringing the heat with tokens using cards like Raise the Alarm while keeping up counter magic to deal with our enemies' early to mid game threats. Later, we crush in with an army of tokens, or sacrifice them to Jalira's activated ability, which allows us to dig up a fatty and slam him down into play.



Either way, it's a sure way to run away with the game. And with blue spells giving us some control, it's easier to fend off attempts to shut down our plans early.

Please make sure to subscribe if you enjoy the content and make sure to stay tuned for more awesome gaming coverage on SSP Gaming :)

Heroes Gameplay - Valla



Hey everyone, and welcome to more coverage of Heroes of the Storm. Today I'll be playing Valla, a sexy but dangerous hero from the Diablo universe.

She can be built in many ways, but today she is going balls to the wall with a big AoE build surrounding her second ability, Multishot.



We are going to focus on talents that make it better, as well as other talents that augment what the ability does and give us more damage as a result (such as Frost Shot + Executioner).

Hope you enjoy this video, and if you have any builds of your own please leave them below!

Make sure to thumbs up and subscribe for more awesome gaming action here on the channel!

Thank you for watching :)

Duplicate Video

Hey everyone,

My apologies. I somehow uploaded a duplicate as the new video, and that's why nothing was working today.

I have started uploading the correct video and it should be available within the hour for you.

Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this caused, but I am going to go ahead and blame it on the terrible jet lag I am still feeling.

Cheers :)

Rift Gameplay - Oracle!

Do you get the reference in the "Oracle" text? ;) There are two :) Check out the next video to find out!


This time in my coverage of Rift, I check out the Oracle as I play the prognosticator cleric. The Oracle is a support oriented soul available in the Dream Souls pack which are the premium souls for the Nightmare Tide expansion. It revolves around situational and static raid buffs; some of which are activated by some of your bread and butter abilities.



This allows for a more flexible approach to buffing and aiding your allies, as you actually have to press buttons to deal damage or heal, and activate your buffs on your allies at the same time. It makes it a lot more fun to play a support role and I believe was done intentionally to help promote playing a different kind of role, one that doesn't quite fit into the usual trifecta of RPG hierarchies.


Check out the guide here


Enjoy!

Im Back!

Hey everyone,

It was a crazy trip but finally I am back from China. I had a great time and experienced a lot of new things. It was definitely a culture shock, but nevertheless it was a great experience.

With that said, keep your eyes peeled for Rift coverage coming Monday, as well as the regular schedule of Storm on Wednesdays and Magic on Fridays.

Thanks for your patience as I get back into the flow of things and back into the regular schedule. See you soon!
