Introducing The Tactixal Gamer You Tube Channel "Tactixal Play's"

I now have a YouTube channel up & running (shameless self promotion)

I'll be uploading videos from the games i'm playing, mainly MineCraft atm but when I get the new PC up and running I'll be doing more graphically intense stuff. Also planning on getting myself a Hauppgage HD PVR so I'll be able to include Xbox 360 games as well

In other news, Shadows Of The Damned has caught my eye... but I'm not sure why

Balls'ing up Minecraft Maps... Again

Just finished uploading another playthrough of the AscensionCraft puzzle map for Minecraft.
And once again I manage to ball's up near the end..

I think this is my speciality.. failing at puzzles

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

As I'm sat here writing this, my PC is rendering a Minecraft video, and uploading one to YouTube at the same time.
My ash tray is looking at me, pleading to be emptied, and my 3DS is humming a well known Nintendo tune, well known to all who know and love that little green tunic wearing bugger... Link.

That’s right I'm playing Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

I'll be honest I never got into the Zelda series before, and I'm not really sure why that is...
I can remember my uncle and cousins playing this on the N64, and seemed to be having a lot of fun playing. Graphically the 3DS version is a massive improvement & the controls work well. Surprisingly the 3D works extremely well, its probably the best use of 3D I have seen on the little handheld.

If your a Zelda fan you have probably already run off and bought it, or are waiting for it in the post. So you know what to expect.

If not... here’s Robin Williams to tell you about it


Oh and if you register your copy with club nintendo they will send you a free Zelda Soundtrack CD, Mine should be here within 8 weeks

Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony mini review

I’ve spent far longer playing “Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony” today than I should have, but its just so god damned enjoyable...

Minecraft AscensionCraft Part 2

Just finished uploading the 2nd video for this map.

I'm enjoying it, but I do get quite frustrated with the jumping puzzles, I think there was a good 40 minutes spent  trying to get past the first jumping puzzle room.


if I ever manager to finish the second set I will continue the series :)

Minecraft AscensionCraft Part 1

I have started playing the AscensionCraft Puzzle map on Minecraft, I enjoyed it so much I recorded my efforts

Terraria Lets Play

After a tiny hiatus, I am back in the saddle.

Been playing Terraria for a few weeks now and I enjoying it, I figured I would start to record me playing it to give you all an idea of what its like, how it plays, and basically attempt to get more people to play this little game.

It has been called a 2D Minecraft, but its more a mix of Minecraft and Snes age Zelda. Simple controls and lovely 16bit sprites.

No real story, other than build, explore, and survive

This is on steam, and priced at around £6
