Urgent Update - Cancellations

Hey everyone,

This is an urgent update to let you guys know that the Heroes of the Storm and Friday Night Magic videos are cancelled for this week.

I leave for China in 2 days and the stress and amount of work is mounting. Today I just discovered I have a serious emergency situation to deal with, that needs to be dealt with before I leave.

I am very sorry that I won't be able to put out content for the rest of this week, and essentially until I return, but there are some serious issues that I need to address and unfortunately they have priority at this time.

Thanks so much for your understanding, and see you back here in April :)


Best,

Rift Gameplay - Liberator

Hey everyone,

Thanks for joining me today as it's once again time for some more Rift gameplay!

In this week's iteration, we are taking a look at the Liberator - one of the new souls in the Dream Souls pack available on the Rift store and alternatively, also available on Steam. Make sure to have patron status to get a discount on your soul pack, as well as a handful of other benefits!

He's a hearty warrior who buffs and heals his allies over time, preferring HoT (heal over time) effects that hit the entire group as well as some damage mitigation spells.

The Liberator is very similar to the soul in last week's video in that typically, this kind of "class" is designed for damage dealing, and has been re-purposed to be of better use to his allies through a variety of unique skills and abilities.

He can be a very capable healer and once his abilities are mastered, it's hard to believe that a warrior is healing the group.

Once the video is available, it will be posted here and you'll get a notice if you're a subscriber. If you're not a subscriber, make sure to click here and subscribe for all the latest videos on the channel.

Also, feel free to join me in Rift!

In a Land Far Far Away... (Travel Notice)

Hey everyone.

Scaryspikes here. But you already knew that. Who else would it be? ;) Anyway...

As you may or may not have known by now - I am leaving the country for 3 weeks on March 27. I will be returning on April 17. I'm going to China, to travel, learn and shop - but also to get to know my girlfriend's family and friends and learn more about their culture.

As such, I will be absent from my blog and channel, and unable to write any posts or upload any videos. At first, I was thinking I could use YouTube's awesome scheduling service to upload 3 weeks of video and simply schedule it for the time it would have regularly aired.

Unfortunately, I have been met with setback after setback in many different shapes and forms; namely, being called in to my day job - a LOT. In fact I've been getting many more hours than expected in the last two weeks (and usually, the nature of my work dictates slow business in the first 3 months of the year). Further to this, I have had so many things to do and plan in conjunction with my retreat as well as handle things at home. The amount of work has led to peak levels of stress as I try to juggle everything in this very busy time.

With that being said, I have some bad news, and some good news.

The bad news is that I simply won't be able to write, record, produce and publish 4 weeks of scheduled video and blog posts between a week ago and when everything would have to have been ready. It's simply a monumental task for only one person. And as much as I wanted to do it for you all, I'm just not able to at this time. So unfortunately, the channel and blog will be fairly quiet during this time.

The good (great, *cough*) news however, is that I am not going anywhere (so to speak) All of you have inspired and motivated me to work harder and make better content for you, and to keep going above all else. I'm more excited than ever and hoping that my efforts will result in a fun, informative and entertaining channel that you all will enjoy for many years to come. And, I promise, that (almost) as soon as my plane touches back down onto home soil, I will get back to work making the content you have been getting used to and enjoying thus far.

My sincerest apologies for not being able to have that content for you in my absence. I thank you for your patronage and patience in my time away, and hope to see you very very soon in the middle of April.

The coming week's schedule will contain the last videos of each respective series before they are continued upon my return.

Once again thank you so much for watching and reading, and for your continued support and patience.
