SkylanderNutts Presents Deep Rock Galactic

by

SkylanderNutts Presents Deep Rock GalacticToday I show the boys a new game to be added to GamePass recently in Deep Rock Galactic. This game is a 1-4 player co-op game where exploring the mines, digging for materials and fighting off waves of creatures are your main priorities. By completing missions you can level up your characters, upgrade your tools and weapons and unlock bigger and harder missions. It’s a compelling game loop that is really well done. Check out our first look at this game.

Deep Rock Galactic is developed by Ghost Ship Games and is published by Coffee Stain Studios. The game is out now on Steam, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S with a retail price of $29.99, but we are playing it free through Xbox GamePass.

SkylanderNutts Presents Our Xbox Series X Unboxing

by

Today we were lucky enough to get a launch Xbox Series X so of course, the boys wanted to do an unboxing video. So here is our first experience with the Xbox Series X.

During the video, I talk about what I think the share button will allow us to do where I thought it would be able to capture larger chunks of gameplay. However, after playing with the feature a little, that is not the case at all. It works much like the old Xbox One but now you can press the share button for a screenshot, or hold it to record the last X minutes as defined in the settings. However, it looks like the most I can record is 3 minutes not at 4K, and only 30 seconds at 4K. It seems initially MORE restrictive than the Xbox One which allowed me to save 5 minutes. There is a feature to allow the share button I believe to start a recording and then press it again to stop. So using that you may get more than 3 minutes, but there is no feature to just press the button to record the last match or last 10 minutes or anything like that. The button simply saves you the time of hitting multiple buttons that you had to do before.

SkylanderNutts Plays Minecraft Dungeons (Part 4 - Arch Haven and Cacti Canyon)Today in Minecraft Dungeons we make it through another secret area in Arch Haven before moving on to Cacti Canyon. We end up figuring out how to find all of the chests and secrets in the level, but we fail to find another secret level from Cacti Canyon. Maybe we missed it and maybe we’ll have to revisit this level someday. Until then, enjoy our exploration of Arch Haven and Cacti Canyon!

SkylanderNutts Plays Minecraft Dungeons (Part 2 – Soggy Swamp)

by

Minecraft Dungeons (Part 2 - Soggy Swamp)Well, the boys really liked Minecraft Dungeons after our “Presents” video (which we will call Part 1). Both liked the game for different reasons. Lias likes the action combat, while Conner likes the loot collecting and using it to his best advantage. Me? I think it’s ok, but I was disappointed you couldn’t destroy things and build them back up. Still, they wanted to play more, so now we are turning it into a series. Watch as we explore the next section called Soggy Swamp!

SkylanderNutts Presents Minecraft Dungeons

by

SkylanderNutts Presents Minecraft DungeonsToday at the request of Conner we show the new Minecraft Dungeons. Conner has been looking forward to this since he saw a trailer during Minecon 2018. It’s an action/adventure dungeon crawler set in the Minecraft Universe. You’ll see plenty of mobs and biomes that you know and love but this time it’s all about the fighting and loot and not the crafting and building. Check it out to see what we think of the first couple levels of Minecraft Dungeons!

Minecraft Dungeons was developed by Mojang Studios and Double Eleven and is available on Windows Store, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Minecraft Dungeons standard edition retails for $19.99 but it is free with Microsoft GamePass which is how we are playing the game.

SkylanderNutts Plays Ring of Heroes (Part 44 - Luminous on Medium vs Wolfgang on Hard)Today we catch up on turning in a large number of tickets and scrolls (maybe close to 100?). Unfortunately, there is no new event to talk about and there hasn’t been one for quite a while. So instead we take the time to try our battles against Luminious (medium) and Wolfgang (Hard) to see if we can make any headway into beating these hard battles. Which will give us the most trouble? Check it out!
