A "let's play" video by GOG.com's very own Judas. How do you like it?

Since <i>This Week on GOG</i> is currently on a break in-between seasons, and we promised to keep the [url=http://j.mp/followGOGonYT]GOG.com YouTube channel interesting, we've got a special featurette for you. Our colleague, Judas, gets really passionate about some of the games we release. Just recently fell in love with Rogue Legacy, and spent many nights slashing monstrous sprites, exploring the trap-filled castle, and looting tons of gold. He had so much fun, that he thought it would be nice to share the experience, and that's how the following "let's play" video came to being. We thought it was cool enough to give it some final polish and share with you guys.

Judas Plays: Rogue Legacy

Many of our forum users may know Judas. Most, however, probably wouldn't know what he does around GOG.com, apart from delivering snarky blue one-liners. So, let's explain. Judas is our bonus content hunter always looking for a chance to add something special to our game releases. That's how he spend his days. The nights--that's a different story. That's when he puts on his special rogue outfit and sneaks back to the office to play games. That we knew, because even though he's extra stealthy, we sometimes find him in the morning, head on keyboard, snoring, with a text "Congratulations, you beat the game" flashing on his screen, and some heavy metal classic sounding from his headphones. The fact that he can coherently talk while playing--an important quality for a let's player--is as new to us as it is to you. We hope you'll like his show.

Give your feedback in the comments, please. Tell us if you'd like to see more of that kind of content (or something similar) on our YouTube channel. Judas will be lurking the forums, so you can tell him what you think. Just go easy on him. Those are his very first steps in the world of gaming videos.

If you're interested in the game that Judas Plays, it's Rogue Legacy, a proceduarally generated roguelike (or: rogue-LITE) platformer in which your dying character passes on his quest and heritage to his offspring, shaping a heroic saga generation by generation, and it's available on GOG.com for only $14.99.

"come get part of your complete breakfast....starting with some iron."

ha! good one.

i also agree that you guys should do more of these.
This video kinda encouraged me to buy it... some day :P

I would like to see some less known games being promoted like that.
Really good, would like to see more. I also agree with the idea of having more of the GOG staff doing this (we all love you Judas, don't get jealous), even with the language barriers. I mean, not everyone in the community is an english native speaker, so just some subs should do the trick for us. Heck, I'm sure some of us would help smiling if we found out someone in the GOG crew was fluent in our not-so-universal language.
Also, awesome work G-Doc and Video Ninja! Makes you want to work in GOG just for having your own intro!
I liked the video. Good to see how certain games play without going through the trouble of finding and playing demos. The video lasted a good amount of time too, not too long or short. Hopefully we'll see some more.
What a neat promotional tool this could become for the wide variety of different gaming experiences on GOG! Love it, love it, love it. Good work JudasIscariot, G-Doc, and VideoNinja!

Haha. I actually admire such ability. I can do a lot of things simultaneously and commented gaming is most certainly not among them.
LP was well done and gave me a good idea how it is meant to be played. Thanks! I look forward to see another episode ;p.

If that's the case, I'm really glad nobody's seen my playing. ;)

Nice video, Judas, G-Doc and Video Ninja. Two thumbs up from me. I would gladly welcome more of those, although I know they'd require a bit of an extra effort.

mothwentbad: I don't know how you managed not to swear, though. Heavy editing?
not totally check "1:37"
Hmm... needs more polish.
That was fun Judas, and really good. Nice idea of yours.
