Defend The House

DTH Documentries?

For a long time one of my favourite genres of movies has been documentaries, I love learning about things I didn't even know I was interested in. I like small stories on very specific topics, deep dives into weirdness. One of the best thing in Youtube Gaming this year has been the rise of Gaming Docs. Channels like Noclip and Cloth Map have quickly become my favourites and I've been envious that they have the opportunity to work on documentary ty...

The Beauty of Assassins Creed: Origins Preview

Thanks to a generous pledge from Thomas Alexander we hit the $200 milestone on Patreon, even if it ever goes down, I want to thank you guys for the support, when I hit Patreon milestones I want to celebrate by using copyrighted music in an upcoming video. Jamison is working on a beauty video for Origins and will be using the Lawrence of Arabia soundtrack with it. It fits really well and should elevate the video by a lot, the above preview is a ve...

Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.19

This is going to be a list of everything we currently have recorded but a bunch of the stuff that will leak into Vol.20, I'll do my best to separate them but since the edit is not complete the lists are subject to change.

Myth: You can place a mortar on a sniper decoy.

Myth: You can carry a supply drop on a vehicle.

Myth: You can bayonet charge someone off a horse.

What about a mortar?

Myth: You can spawn in m...

Upcoming videos, Christmas brainstorming.

This post should outline my plans until the end of 2017!

November

I want to get out another Battlefield 1 Myth video and Assassins Creed: Origins Myths out by the end of November. Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.19 will be next (it's taken more filming than expected to get it ready), then Assassins Creed: Origins Myths Vol.2. Thought Origins would be a one-off but the reception to the first one was very po...

New Myth series?

So currently I am getting to do the best part of this job, playing video games!

I've taken a deep dive into Destiny 2, had a dabble at Assassins Creed: Origins and I think it's time to bring variety back to the channel. Destiny 2 Myths will be coming. I doubt it will be a long series, I think there's even a possibility it's only 1 episode, it's not exactly a sandbox game but one myth video will happen for sure along with a 'Beauty of Destiny 2'...

The great Battlefield 1 take over?

An update post on what's coming up on the channel, a hint from the title above, it's a bit Battlefield 1 heavy.

It's actually got to the point where I'm a bit unhappy about it, even though BF1 brings in the most views, DTH was always supposed to be a variety channel but we're really struggling at the moment. Overwatch has run dry and is in a bad spot where no one really cares much about it, PUBG is a nightmare to record/test with without custom...

DTP #6 ("The Battle for Battle Royale")

Welcome to the sixth episode of Defend The Podcast! Thank you guys so much for your support, this time me, Jamison and Ben talk about Fortnite, PUBG and the future of the BR genre, we catch up on recently played games and dive into what we will be picking up in October. 

If I used copyrighted music.

I don't know why I made this, it might have some possible use in the future as a Patreon push or just as a goof, who knows but it exists now.

Gaming ASMR?

So recently, after the Details series has taken off successfully, I started brainstorming what else is involved in games which people don't often highlight, my first instinct was sound. In games like BF1 it's so loud and full of gunfire/explosions non-stop that I doubt many people have heard what the background of the game sounds like, so I went and captured that. Turns out some of the sounds are really cool, I think this might work well enough f...

New Patreon show and Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.18

Today I released another Behind The Face and announced I was planning another Patreon show and I'm pretty certain I've concluded what I want it to be. Unsure what it will be titled but I think it will be a commentary track covering videos which have no behind the scenes material. There's tons of videos to cover from the past and I'm sure there will be plenty to cover in the future. There's usually a story behind every DTH video and this series wi...

Upcoming content!

So last week I uploaded 2 new series, 'Different Players' and 'Details'. Both were received well but Details kindof exploded and did way way better than I expected, I think it's one of our fastest growing videos in a long time.

Next up will be Titanfall 2 Myths Vol.7. I have a vague myth list from what we recorded and there's a possibility I record a few more things before it's finished but here's what I have so far:

Myth list:

Back to Myths.

Last week was an interesting one, I launched 2 new types of videos. Details and Different Types of Players. So far Details has gone down really well, actually way better than expected, DToP was also positive but some people thought it needed some work which I think is fair feedback, I'd never done voice acting before or audio editing to that level so hopefully over time I get better at it but this week its back to Myths.

The next selection of v...

Patreon Q&A #2

So in the new series 'Defend The Face' I answer Patreon questions at the end! Thanks to Ray and Malte last episode for contributing. (link to last DTF if you didn't see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0iz31f-33U)

I'll be recording episode 2 in around a week so if you guys have any more question that I can answer in the video, please leave them below!

September plans.

I was a bit unsure about what would be coming up on the channel next but after some brainstorming and some experimental editing I have a mild idea of whats coming next and it might be a slightly unusual month.

Apart from some remaining voice acting the 'Different Players in PUBG' idea is done. There are 16 different ones and I don't think that will change so it should officially be called '16 Different Players in PUBG'. If this ends up being a ...

Videos in the works!

Joe editing bot is hard at work with some brand new projects!

I have begun editing/testing with how I want the 'X Players in PUBG' skit to turn out. I will be aiming to have 20 different short skits making it '20 Different Players in PUBG' or something along those lines. They range from as simple as 'The Camper' to more unusual events like 'The Tipped Car Lurker'. It's probably not going to be out too soon, it always takes longer to bring out a...

The near future.

I just wanted to stop by and write a bit about my current thought process involving Defend The House.

I'm in a spot which I thought might eventually come where the games in the Myth video rotations are starting to get limited. Overwatch and Titanfall 2 have a small audience (on DTH) and PUBG and Battlefield 1 feel like they might run out of content soon. We have Destiny 2, COD WW2 and Battlefront 2 on the way but I don't think any of these game...

Defend The Post #5

Took us a while but me, Jamison and Ben sit down and discuss and abundance of games we've played recently. Everything from Psychonauts to Final Fantasy.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS Myths Vol.4

Myth order to be determined. Predicted release date: Saturday

Myth list:

Myth: Dropped items can protect you from gunfire.

What about dead bodies?

Myth: The guns on 'Starting Island' remain there when the match begins.

 Myth: The Afro increases your hitbox. 

Myth: You can be revived if downed by the blue-zone while swimming.

Myth: Two people can simultaneously knock each other ...

Back to work!

Hey guys, back from my week away. The next Podcast has been recorded and we start work today on some new PUBG videos. Behind the Myths of the last BF1 Myths will be out for you guys soon and momentum should pick up again soon.

Thanks for your patience!

A week off.

I am away today until next Sunday, we have an Overwatch Myth video coming up and also a Battlefield 1 Myth video coming up. When I get back I'm going to start work on some new stuff, outside of myth videos. See you guys then! 

For $5 Patreons: There will be a short delay on the Behind The Myths of Battlefield Myths Vol.15 since I haven't started to edit yet, will be the first thing I do when I get back.

Podcast Episode 5 delay

Just a quick PSA towards anyone who listens and enjoys the DTH Podcast, unfortunately Ben's plans got interrupted this week and I am away all next week so Vol.5 will be delayed. It's coming though, I have been playing a ton of games recently and Jamison has played a few, I think topics of conversation will be;

Pyschonauts, Crash Bandicoot, Grim Fandango, Final Fantasy 15, Outlast 2, Persona 5, Spelunky, Pyre, Tacoma, The Witcher 3 and PUBG, may...

Overwatch Myths Vol.11

Since this series is run by Jamison I have no other details to give except what he gave me, I give feedback but I don't like telling people what to do creatively. I don't like people telling me how to make my videos so I take the same approach, I let him do his thing and sometimes videos appear :P

Myth list:

Myth:  You cant interact with Doomfist while he is using meteor strike. 

Myth: Doomfist can Rocket Punch ...

Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.15

The series is somehow still going!

This might be a rougher list than usual, there might be one more BF1 recording session before this episode goes out so I might decide to switch some things around with what we capture in that session, or i'll save it for Vol.16, we'll see. This is what I currently have.

Myth list:

You can use 'out of bounds' to make a behemoth unreachable.

The Tankgewehr has no bullet drop.

S...

Titanfall 2 Mini-Myth

I know I already touched upon this in the previous Titanfall 2 post, I don't mean to spam this Patreon with posts but we added 2 extra myths to the episode and I have the song decided so I just wanted to go ahead and make it its own small post.

'In Vol.5 of Titanfall 2 Myths, we confirmed you could stick a Firestar in an ally and they could use this to do damage to enemies. how else could this mechanic be taken advantage of? '

Myth: You c...

New Series Ideas

So I mentioned in a post a week back or so that I was thinking about creating new content outside of Myths. I love the Myth series, I'm proud of the quality of it but I think there's plenty more areas in games DTH can cover that would work with our style and still entertain and inform people.

I think Myths can be summarized down to 'Interactions in this game you might not know about'. Seeing how different systems in a game interact is fascinati...
