Description

“You are not breach mages yet,” Brama lectures as she paces down the line of students, her frail form belying her immense power. “Breach mages have protected us since the beginning — since the burning of the world and our pilgrimage into the dark. It was they who founded Gravehold, our last bastion, and if you wish to stand beside these living legends, you must listen and learn. The Nameless shall come again, as they always have, and you will need to be ready. You are the hope of our future.”

As a young apprentice, you grew up to stories of the breach mages. Brama, the teacher, wisest of the mages. Dezmodia, the prodigy, master of great magic. Mist, the stoic leader and tactical genius. Malastar, the magical craftsman. Rebellious, powerful, and reckless perfectly sum up Xaxos. These mages are your heroes and tomorrow, after your ordeal, you will join their ranks.

“Each of you must overcome your ordeal to learn discipline and focus, the tools you will need to defend Gravehold. We are nothing without Gravehold. To be a breach mage is to sacrifice your life for Gravehold. When you die, it will be in defense of our city. Once you understand this universal truth...only then will you be ready to become a breach mage.”

Quotes (from this video)
  • I don't feel any pressure to create content.
  • This is my full-time job, right? I don't have another job to go to.
  • I'm producing all of this content and honestly, if I could produce more, I would because I love what I do.
  • The category here or the criteria here is massively popular, really well-respected, solid Euro games that have been around for a while and stood the test of time and are known as just really, really good games.
  • No games do. It doesn't need all of the bling and everything else.
  • I think most people in life are affected by what's called seasonally adjusted disorder.
  • Entering is absolutely free. It doesn't cost you anything whatsoever.
  • The secret word this month is haggis.
  • All of my advertising revenue from all of my videos goes to charity.
  • I don't make any money out of the videos themselves on YouTube. People call me crazy. They would be right.
  • It's only 70 to go.
  • I have not. No. Not Not even heard of that one.
  • I would strongly recommend you just do it because you want to do it. Don't go out and spend £4,000 on a fancy camera, lights, and everything else and think 'Right, I'm going to be the next big channel and I'm going to get 50,000 subscribers in 6 months.'
  • One thing that really annoys me is when the games come out at retail like the same time or even before and they're cheaper.
  • I personally believe it is fundamentally, morally, and ethically wrong for me to sell a pre-production prototype copy of a game.
  • It's International Unplayed Games Day. And the date that I've chosen... is the 1st of July.
  • I have already got two of them on my channel, if not three, and I'm doing another one next Wednesday.
