May 2021 - Poll for the next bullshittery
Added 2021-05-25 09:49:34 +0000 UTCThank you very much for the prior opinion bath folks. It was very helpful indeed. A surprising result actually. Both here and on Twitch.
Rather than the usual rush towards Arma, this time there was a lot of love for some unexpected entries like Subnautica and 7 Days to Die, Halo, Besiege and Team Fortress. And even, to my delight, D&D.
Certainly very helpful to let me adjust future content in the next few months. For the moment though, I've picked five potentials and made a poll. Would you mind telling me what you think?

I'll make a separate one for the Twitch subscribers and compare both results later. It might be a tad complicated.
1.) Besiege
A block-based building game played some time ago. The clan spent some time building various contraptions and then battling each other in an open space. With various borg cubes, catapults, missiles and fully functioning planes.
Very sandboxy in nature with a lot of things exploding. Both on purpose and by accident.
2.) Divinity: Original Sin 2
Potentially a very unusual batch of bullshitteries. A story-based adventure game similar to Neverwinter Nights. Played with Digby, Messy and Quebec. Very much a multiple episode romp of "are we the baddies?", as our intrepid heroes try to save the world and probably do more damage in doing so.
It'll probably end up more cinematic than most. With lots of story beats weaved in. Less laugh a minute and more Antistasi-style narrative heavy.
3.) Halo Multiplayer
Many multiplayer games of Halo were played shortly after the release of Master Chief collection. And continued for much of the year. As a result, various highlights and excited game sessions were played on virtually every map type. Expect lots of bickering, team killing, bad driving and Harry exploding.
4.) Holdfast: Nations at War
The ever silly Holdfast, featuring musket combat and bayonet stabbing. Whilst everyone puts on a silly accident and tries to roleplay. Made tricky by someone blasting Abba's Mamma Mia from horseback.
5.) Team Fortress 2
A recent addition. The regular community games of Team Fortress 2. Where Rotary is sniping, Digi is minigunning, Harry is death-rattling and everybody is getting backstabbed by Quebec.
I can tell from the clips so far that the DNA is going to be very similar to Rocket League. Lots of relatively quick cuts, as the fast-paced games incentivise it.
Please place your vote. And thank you :)

Once again, don't fret if your pick isn't selected. I'll select something else further down the list afterwards in an effort to work through the backlog of footage.
