[Fabio199810]

u are from brainiacs... lolz

[omnomnomcookies1]

HEELLLOOOO

[Bennyrulez1997]

I heard him mention Magic. Good card game. It would be interesting to see some tips for that. But this is gaming tips so...

[Tikikala]

lol. reading the comments is more funny then listening to the vid. no offense. People like your looks, tasselfoot!

[CoconPL]

in short: sometimes you have to use your brain ;)

[UpPsErT]

I actually knew all these thing...

but you remind me to think about, thank you so much

[neoman121]

lol thank you for these vids they are VERY helpful to me :)

[skeetoe93]

I think you should do a guide on each type of game, like RPG, puzzle, shooter, tower defense, things like that, i know i need help on certain types of games, and I'm sure other people need help!

By the way, this video is my favorite! keep em coming dude!

[tasselfoot]

that's the plan!  there will be 5c first... then i have a plan for episode 6... then episode 7 will start with genre tips.

[skeetoe93]

sweetness! i look forward to your next video!

[Bevericee]

sooo...whens the genre tips comming out?

[bommobiel]

wow I like your vids :)

[saliva3737]

i like FPS's and is more of a sniper than sprayer

[Dragonatrix]

What about puzzle games? Trying to rush them means you're not going to succeed in the long run, so you sort of have to stop and think at times. Good examples would be Loops of Zen (the original) or 3D Logic; the first few levels are easy enough but there's a notable difficulty curve.

Hardcore geek!

[saliva3737]

this is his job

[gururocksmasoxs]

this is a rele bad idea but u could make one about what game is the rite 1 4 u lmao

[Sarnier]

I noticed 1 thing...HE HAS A KONGREGATE ACCOUNT THAT IS LIKE LV 65 MAN( THAT IS DARN HARD)

[DJHackNSlash]

I love the videos :D

[sammosammy]

You look like someone I know.

Mr. Soames. Not sure if that's spelt correctly. But he has similar glasses, facial hair, yellow clothes, hair is the same. You're skinnier.

[kenobi234]

its like freeman looking in a mirror

[borntoplay95]

Hey tass...

Actually, as far as I know about better gameplay. Try new things...As in....new weapons, new characters, strats etc.

I am not criticizing your advice, just adding a small tip to it.

I just said that because it helped me a lot. Hope you dont mind.

Thanks,

born

PS:- Freeman's glasses are broader.

[raider0215]

Dude! u DO look like freeman! that's awesome!!

[foolinpain]

nice vid keep them coming

[Allthatisrock]

Tass, your face is beautiful. Once again, you did a nice job with the video. It really got me thinking on who I am as a player (a sniper type player) and how I can better myself when I play these games. I am looking forward to your next video!!

[nofelix]

lol you have no idea what you're talking about

just because you have a tendancy to play in a particular way which is familiar, that doesn't mean it's the best way to play

different games reward different types of behaviour. if you try and play them all the same because of your personality, you will lose

[Jonatron101]

For example, MGS. Hmm?

[BlackEyeVision]

It's the Freeman...

[kilvertm]

Is that Gordon Freeman?!

[VaderGaming]

of course, glasses + moustache + beard = gordon freeman.

[CowardLoserMan]

i fit in the noob type of gamer

[DarkSabre753]

...you have no idea wtf you are talking about... Im CEVO-P, CAL-I in multiple games and this is not how you think....

[tasselfoot]

I can't really give an opinion as to how well this advice will work for console or PC multiplayer games, given a) i don't play console or PC games and b) these videos are geared for casual gaming, focusing especially on flash games. so it's quite possible that you're right... which is not to say that i'm wrong. you're saying that i'm not helping you pick apples when i'm specifically helping you pick tomatoes.

[DarkSabre753]

...valid. touche.

[godle55]

well i stumbled across this as i was looking for dtd pro tips(i'm a long time addict since i hooked up with whiteboard td, randomly). i'm a very VERY casual gamer b/c i frustrate easily. i'm a mixed martial artist here in columbus, OH and i'd say you're exactly right. I think common sense dictates that. Knowing yourself and your own tendencies are utmost. Otherwise you'll never overcome them or benefit from them when the time comes. can't believe you even answered that pompous post. :)

[godle55]

from DarkSabre btw... i'm a post noob :D

[DarkSabre753]

lol? i already said his point was right. you really are a noob.

[oConnekt]

@DarkSabre753 If you were at all a professional in any game, you'd realize that every time you go into a situation you are constantly trying to stratagize to maximize the outcome each time you are facing someone. Since everyone is basically "cevo p" in CSS, i'll assume that is one of your games. Same applies. I'm not going to rush someone unless i know i can kill them before they react, etc. Most things in CSS work across the board, but in general you gotta know how YOU play.

[DarkSabre753]

@oConnekt ..............If you dont know how YOU yourself plays... youre an idiot.

You practice with your team so you dont have to constantly strat during the game... type less before you look more nooby, pub allstar.

[Barnflickan89]

Stop complaining about his "life" just look at yourself using your time posting shit on youtube.. I'm guessing your about as "bad" as this guy! ;(

[GROTO95]

I though you were a lot younger.....

[axtrubanblaha]

that was really, really hard to watch...

[H2Kmonkey]

Get a life omfg...

[tartredarrow]

what a joke

[debit13]

How about an episode that gives you ideas for certain genres of games if you get stuck? It can be a universal group of ideas, or ideas for specific genres of games.

[sikhking3]

u have good guides but u need a life

[banditcom]

You're posting worthless comments on a YouTube video you dislike. The irony...

[H2Kmonkey]

Hum, i'm making fun of this guy because he IS FUCKING awful. He needs a life. It's a game, it's not life dude, he is way too serious.

[banditcom]

What does "need a life" even mean? He has a real job, a long-time and hot girlfriend, admins a highly trafficed website, gets paid on this website, and gets paid on ArmorGames as well as another flash website. I fail to see how "he needs to get a life". What else should he do? Or shouldn't do? I didn't like the video either. In any case, you're giving him views which gives him money.

[sikhking3]

oooo i thought he still lived with his mom or something

[sawyerd01]

i will love you eternily YAY! lol :P i love your ugly mug btw haha! keep em coming tass!

[Fawksi]

Helloooooo

[bloodyfart10]

Yah nice tip man knowing what your doing, just like we learn to read and then we read to learn, this is like we think to win and then we win to think differently because of the victory for winning are upgrades, I suggest to make a video of like the combination of stats you have like in platform racing 2, speed acceleration and jumping? whats a good combination depending on the level you are talking about?

[thestriken]

even though it would be a little off topic

[thestriken]

Maybe do a video about what sites are the best to go to and what to watch for on sites that may have viruses.

[manwalk3]

lol u play funnygames

[Bassium08]

I do whatever the guide tells me to do! Looool

[sikhking3]

dat u in real life?

[jakethesnake6t]

Unfortunately, yes. I feel bad for him, too.

He is one of the biggest morons I've seen on FFR.. and he's not too far from being the biggest moron I've seen on Youtube.

It's hilarious, though, so I give 5/5 :D

[banditcom]

Um, he's the one keeping FFR alive.... He's pretty much the only one who updates the front page.

[GameStat]

Good One,Good Video I Like It But I Don't Need a Advice How to Win a game,But I Can Tell You That this helped Thanks Tass...And You Should Make A Video I Mean Tass Tips Episode On How to Tell People That Cheating Is Wrong,and You need to go though the hard way to the gold.

[Blaisem]

Just ideas/general strategies that usually work. Ran a little low on space there.

[tasselfoot]

yes... the next video will likely transition into that direction. this one dealt with self awareness and gaming based on personal preferences. the logical next topic is dealing with general strategies forced by the game design.

[Blaisem]

Knowing yourself might help coordinate loose thoughts into a plan, but what about knowing the game itself? Beyond reading the instructions, making a strategy based on what is offered in the game is also important. If you have any experience with this,maybe you can elaborate on that in a video.

This can include classic strategies like a power offense, meat wall + range units, why range units are effective despite statistically having much less damage than melee (thinking of epic wars 2 here) etc

[Blaisem]

Also just being resourceful in general, noticing the options given to you. For example, hobbit spam in epic wars 2, or the runners warlords:call to arms.

Common strategies in tower defences are using as much space for your radius, supporting your towers with slow effects, mazing, analyzing cost:benefit ratio of upgrading towers vs buying more vs limited ideal space

In RPGs its about specializing in a clear path and training support abilities ie Melee fighters w/ heal or mages/archers w/ slow

[FFRPlanBsk81127]

Oh shi! Your not wearing your Phili's hat! WTF man! XD

Related comment: Good tips. ;)

[kongquake]

Hey nice nice video.

Now I think this could be an idea to another series.

Maybe you must tell about every kind of game ( or the important ones ) and give some tips hints to beat it easily or help you to make some decisions in determinated games.

Have a nice day Tass!

[ranzhave]

Hey Tass and others.

Great video, I must say, which might help me in RPGs in the future, none of which I play now. I guess I'm weird like that....

I rated 5, subscribed, and friended you on Kongregate (while not expectant f receiving a friending back, that is).

Bravo, and keep the tips coming.

[Sycth55]

Thanks Tass im personally a sniping guy dont like to get close.thanks tass great advice

[GHEZ119]

Hehe, you love me eternally ^_^

It was pretty good, but again, I knew most of it. I love your face o.0 Also, nice new haircut...I think. This is a good idea for many of the people that don't know, but I think they would learn more from the same concept, but done on specific genres, with a breakdown of the character builds. I, personally, know what I prefer for most types of games. Still, love you, love your videos, great stuff. Keep 'em coming :P

[markojustas]

Thanks, Tass!

[jamesbon2006]

tass is right

but I think this ep is just for the "want achievement" type of ppl. If I just crashed on a game site, I would just have fun and not think about any plans. Thankfully, I'm the type which wanna get the most badges so this vid really helped me Thanks Tass

[DEADMAN1928]

pretty good,helps alot,i cant beleive that u give tips and walkthroughs that simple..why dont u keep them for yourself,that what i do :p thanx anyways

[tasselfoot]

i guess i'm nicer than you?

[paulbbryan]

Excellently put into words something that I knew kind of subconsciously but probably wouldn't take into account when starting a game. This kind of tip helps a lot when stat nerds like me are constantly looking for strictly dominant strategies. Knowing who you are can make the decision for you on what strategy to go for. Maybe this is why I was always better with green stompy decks than blue stall decks in magic...

These tips are far more meta than I thought they were going to be and it's good

[nastehnedd]

face is beautiful.

topic was kind of obvious, but I understand that there isn't much that you could really say here. I appreciate the walkthroughs. The only thing that bothers me is that intro where you talk about yourself :P

[penuinpeppe]

I never imagined you'd have such an awesome beard.

[darkfox916]

I think your next Tass Tip should be dealing with Kongregate. Alot of people are dealing with the fact you are the only one with alot of game walkthroughs that are dealt in the kong site.

[1ray2ray1]

you should do a long walthrough for like an rpg without the game being sped up and with commentary because like you said know yourself. and if you do that we know more about you and the way you play games. the we can give better tips and walkthorughs to suit you. also it will be entertaining to us and more or less love you enternally. i cant stress this enough. (wink-wink) (wink-wink for the wink-wink

[joshuajonme48]

Make a video for how to achieve all badges. That would be impressive.

[TMLsYs]

Qualitative. I'm going to start using this word now. Thanks, Tass!

[DylanXuioX]

nice vid tass, very well spoken

[cyberjar88]

Here's an idea for you: Tips for specific games.

[tasselfoot]

nah... too specific. but i plan to do general tips for specific genres.

[jacquesevangelista]

Suggestion: Smile more while talking, srs facez gives the impression that you hate us and we're noobs, :P

[tasselfoot]

i'm not very good at smiling. but thanks.

[SpikeHawk]

Partner!!!!!!!! Nice job. :)

[DeathFrikinChikin]

at first i thought this might've been kinda of a weird video but it turned out to be good nice

[crazyfaces27]

cool thanks a lot

[KongRubix]

I want to learn how to fish.

[carcrazyover8]

this is really understanding most people post vids like the (well sort of) and i dont have an understanding im only 13 i mean still this help alot

[evanrdue2053]

thanks tass, great video
