A Little Armour Review :)
Added 2023-09-20 18:28:13 +0000 UTCHaving put together what were (I thought) the last of the armour requests from Patrons into one big 18 minute video (still editing) I have uhh...found some more in my email inbox. So thanks to the magic of editing time, you get them first! Enjoy!

2023-11-24 10:19:57 +0000 UTCI SQUEEEEEED, literal arms above head, when you did the one I sent in first! Thank you! XD I'm a huge Zelda fan in general--but that set in the newest game absolutely brought me up short. It's HIDEOUS. Which is such a shame, because it's also one of the most useful sets you can get. And it's even worse if you rotate the character, because the color of the under layer is completely different on his back side. Complete vertical split down the figure. It's just so... weird. It gives me awful strippy leather vibes. And the tassels, while part of a whole in-game cultural thing that they carry through nicely for the most part, definitely do not help on this one!

2023-09-25 21:57:07 +0000 UTCQuote from Ian McShane on the Jack the Giant Slayer armor: "When you’ve got gold armor with a 50-foot train and a fancy beard, that’s the part. You don’t need to do any acting. It’s like, ‘Can I just cut all my lines and stand here? And sit on the horse?’ [Director] Bryan Singer used to say, ‘Can you give the lines to the guy behind you?’ and I said, ‘I can’t fucking turn my neck! I’m in gold armor, and every time I turn my gold armor, it squeaks! What the fuck is that?’"

2023-09-23 18:51:30 +0000 UTCOoh, I didn't expect the Guild Wars comparison with mine (although I play Engineer)! And yeah you nailed the head with her second outfit - that Zelda is basically an archaeologist/engineer who ends up on the battlefield and has to make do with what she's got.

2023-09-21 07:41:40 +0000 UTCWe are covering Shadowheart next time 🙂 But I haven’t really looked at the others

2023-09-21 04:12:41 +0000 UTCI didn’t play them BUT I looked at a few elementalists in the next video. Because all the remaining suggestions were rather sensible and sometimes you need a palate cleanser of lunacy in between 😁

2023-09-21 04:11:53 +0000 UTCIt’s really nice, isn’t it?

2023-09-21 04:10:58 +0000 UTCPast You would be very confused. But the lottery numbers would be gratefully received I’m sure.

2023-09-21 04:10:23 +0000 UTCHave you looked at the armors in Baldur's Gate 3? Bret Deveraux did a blog post about it.

2023-09-21 00:56:46 +0000 UTCA comparisons to Guild Wars' elementalists? That's not a reference you hear everyday. I love it! Not enough people played these games.

2023-09-20 23:36:00 +0000 UTCThe Vader armour looks cool, but I’m definitely more in love with the second Zelda outfit. I would also wear it

2023-09-20 21:21:42 +0000 UTCY'know, if I had the power of time travel, I'd visit myself ten years ago and, just to mess with my head, I'd say: "Andrew, soon, you will find tremendous joy in watching a lady on YouTube, who Americans will say is Scottish, ranking fictional armours by how cool they are and how protective they will be... also, write down these Lottery numbers..."

2023-09-20 20:34:02 +0000 UTCThat Vader armour is gorgeous. the colourway and decorartion reminds me of Greenwich armour, although the spaulders are quite different in construction.

2023-09-20 19:06:44 +0000 UTCOmg, yes! It is the very cheese of armour sets!
