    • November 24, 2014
    • YouTube

    The Dom tries to explain his disappointment with what should have been a awesome RTS video game. This video uses clips from various lets plays and tutorials. At the time of its original creation I stupidly didn't make a note of who originally captured it because I was relatively new to youtube and didn't know the etiquette in regards to asking first/adding credit. If you see something from your channel let me know and I'll add you to the credits (and apologise).

    • December 7, 2014
    • YouTube

    I just this moment realised that this is the second thing I've reviewed named Arrival!.... And now I'm realising that that is not a particularly interesting fact... If you wondering why I'm not wearing glasses much anymore, its because I'm a freaking idiot who didn't think through the consequences of buying green rimmed glasses when every video I do uses a green screen. I'm not wearing contact lenses either, I'm just blindly staring at nothing...

  • S2014E05 The Dom Reviews: Mass effect 2 Arrival DLC

    • December 17, 2014
    • YouTube

    Sorry, this is another HD re-upload. Should be the last one though. I'm not angry at you Mass effect, but I am disappointed... and angry. I know that you can technically sneak past the guards at the start but why bother? You have to fight your way out regardless and the whole planet is doomed anyway. I was considering making the nuke chest a running gag but I ended up having to shave my chest so I could put the green paste on it and YEE GODS does it itch now! Btw Lair of the Shadow Broker was actually quite good but that was the exception to the DLCs. Edit 1: Damn me for a fool for I forgot to credit the maker of the bomb countdown: VisualAngle AND I forgot to include the Gangnam Style parody credit: GameCareNetwork
