New Raid: Shadow Legends Youtube Channel

As some of you may know, we have a Alternate Image Gaming youtube channel that covers a variety of games. We’ve tackled World of Warcraft, Elyon, Escape from Tarkov and more. Currently we’re running a series called “Tarkov Talks” which is a sort of podcast over an EFT backdrop covering a variety of mostly gaming topics. While we’d prefer to keep the channel covering a complete variety, the youtube algorithm gets rather grumpy with too much of that and the channel isn’t big enough yet to support it.

As such, for some new AI Gaming content, we’re creating a new channel to cover exclusively Raid: Shadow Legends. This channel already has a few dungeon guides posted and will end up with guides, tips, teams and more for most every aspect of the game. This dedicated channel is not only to bring focused content on one game, but also becomes a test to see if that format strikes better with the youtube community. If so, you could likely see more AI channels branch off, most notably a World of Warcraft one. After the break here you can find embedded a couple of AI Raid videos to sample.

Why Some People Want Your Game to Fail? – Tarkov Talks Ep. 11.

About Tarkov Talks: This is a video series where we discuss, mostly, gaming while I play Escape from Tarkov in the background. Think of it like a podcast with a chance of murder.

Ever notice when there’s an upcoming game coming out, particularly a major online title, that so many people seem to really want that game to fail? A lot of people look at those negative comments and assume it’s jealousy or maliciousness… but maybe, maybe sometimes it’s something else. In this episode of Tarkov Talks, I discuss some reasons that some people might want the game you’re hyped about to fail that aren’t them just being toxic about the game. Hit more for the video.

Midnight Hunt Box Opening (With Total Value)

Something a little different, we’ve opened a box of Magic the Gathering’s Innistrad Midnight Hunt draft boosters (feels like an unnecessarily long title). As this is a first for us in this format, feedback is very welcome. The video includes a little intro, the full opening of box sped up a little, and a summary at the end of all the rares, mythics, foils, and alternate art cards with a total box value of what was opened. Check it out the first of our MTG content. Check out the whole youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/alternateimagegaming.

Tarkov Talks #2-#5

Our show Tarkov Talks has 4 more episodes. The 2nd is a silly debate about food preferences; the 3rd a highlight of the “birds aren’t real” conspiracy, the 4th a revealing of Elon Musks super villain plans, and finally a video discussing the new World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion. Click through for links/embeds of each video (or go to the Alternate Image Gaming youtube). For a brief summary of the show, it’s like a podcast (usually gaming related topics) with some Escape from Tarkov gameplay in the background. Watch me discuss things and try not to get dead.

New Sketchy MMO Site Stealing Everyones Content

So, I’m not going to give them a proper link here, because they are sleaze bag IP-thiefs, but I thought I’d drop warning in case anyone happens across their site. MMORPGnetwork(dot)com rips content from other MMO focused sites, uses a really bad ai to paraphrase the content and then posts it as if it is there own. They are stealing from us, wowhead, and more. While legal action is being considered (because what they are doing is absolutely criminal), I wanted our viewers to be informed so that they may choose to not support such a terrible organization with their views.

Again, I don’t recommend trying to find them, just, if you happen to see that address, consider not clicking and/or leaving. They actively hurt the business of those creating the content that they blatantly steal.

Tarkov Talks #1 – The Decline of Gaming

Tarkov talks will (should) be a weekly series that sits somewhere between a podcast and an interview, often featuring TheSix, that happens while we play scavenger runs in Escape from Tarkov. Tarkov isn’t necessarily the subject, just the backdrop.

Episode #1 discusses the decline of gaming quality in recent years, along with some speculations as to why, and in the end how it might not be big evil CEOs causing it all… maybe. Our article Is Pay to Win Bad? ends up a relatively strong focus, as the decline in gaming and company expenses + monetization are likely highly related.
