Gwaihir's Video Blog - "To the Eyrie" (new video is here!)

By Gwaihir Lord of the Winds, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Truth. When I run out of trolls to kill, I like to categorize things. It's an obsession of sorts - all of my warg pelts are in alphabetical order ;)

Haha. You're using the same Mablung build I tried at first. I really enjoy it as a solo deck, though it's pretty dependent on getting the attachments out. Galadriel really helps, if you can get a Steward out on Boromir (or can afford to wait a few turns).

(My current Mablung is a 3 hero tactics build with Beorn and Boromir, plus a bunch of eagles. It's a brutal combo to a questing deck.)

Yet another video play-through is up on the blog. In this one I take the new tactics hero Mablung to the Fords of Isen. Check it out here.

ok that sounds intrigue....start watch now

I can't watch. The whistling in the audio drives me nuts. That's not a comment against you, just your recording equipment.

To be honest you need to increase quality of video as well. Resolution 480 is not the best. Need at least 720……

I agree, but if that's the best your camera can do, I wouldn't hold it against you. Don't stop making videos just because you can't make great videos. If you end up being able to save up for a nicer camera, great, but don't feel obligated either.

To be clear: the content is fantastic. The game play, deck building and explanations as you go along are great.

Sorry for the whistling...I believe it is the laptop's fan. I tried my best to cancel all background noises in the editing process, but not everything is going to be completely cancelled.

I think you can watch it up to 540 on YouTube. I will try to up the quality to 720 if possible, but I am not sure yet. Thanks for watching in the mean time.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I record with my macbook pro's camera, so it is not the best. I don't have the money to purchase a nice camera and microphone. I am sorry for the poor quality. If I get some extra cash I might look into upgrading. Since I do this just for fun, I don't know if I can justify spending the money for new equipment. Gwaihir has too many bills to pay, sadly...

I appreciate the encouragement to continue to make videos though. It is nice to hear from you! I am in the process of making more videos with the new Silvan cards and Galadriel who just came out. Going to go through the entire Ring maker cycle.

Thank you very much! I totally understand, as I do not like the video/audio quality myself. I wish I had money to go out and buy good equipment today so I can produce better video play-through for you fans.

Is ok man. Keep it as you can. We like to watch it anyway.

Yeah, keep it up. The quality might not be the best, but it's still good enough to make it enjoyable to watch.

Good day travelers of Middle-earth. Gwaihir is happy to flap his large feathered wings and bring to you all a new video play through of everyone's favorite cooperative LCG! In this video, I play through the second quest in Voice of Isengard: To Catch an Orc. It features my Mablung Gondor deck, alongside Leadership Boromir and Lore Pippin. Enjoy!

The audio is much better, thanks.

Hey Gwaihir!

Did you stop making this videos? :(
