Waifu Wednesday: Zhenji - By popular request (all right, one person asked for it) it’s time for another Warriors waifu. This week, we take a look at Zhenji, also known as Zhenshi, Zhen Luo, Zhen Fu, Lady Zhen or “the one with the flute”. She’s been a fixture in the Warriors series since Dynasty Warriors 3, and also shows up in the … Continue reading Waifu Wednesday: Zhenji 
Waifu Wednesday: Nene - I’ve been playing a lot of Warriors Orochi 3 lately, so I feel it’s high time we had another Warriors waifu to celebrate. This time around it’s the turn of Nene, a character who has had several names over the years. While she’s known as Nene in the Warriors Orochi series, she’s also been known as One … Continue reading Waifu Wednesday: Nene 
Warriors Wednesday: Grand Finale – Warriors Orochi #60 - We made it, everyone! After 60 weekly(ish) episodes, we finally made it all the way through Warriors Orochi from start to finish. The funny thing is that there’s still actually a bunch more of this game I could continue to play if I wanted to, and I might just do that off-camera. There are harder … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Grand Finale – Warriors Orochi #60 Warriors Wednesday: Wei Warriors vs Orochi – Warriors Orochi #59 - This is it! Almost, anyway. The forces of Wei (and friends) are finally ready to take the battle to Orochi. Each of the final battles in the four Warriors Orochi campaigns unfold similarly, but with various differences in the small events that occur during the battle itself. Ultimately, though, the goal is always the same: open the … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Wei Warriors vs Orochi – Warriors Orochi #59 Warriors Wednesday: Just a Quickie – Warriors Orochi #58 - It’s nice when things go your way for once, isn’t it? In the first instance of that happening for quite some time in this Warriors Orochi playthrough, Cao Pi, Nene and Xiahou Dun all find it remarkably straightforward to struggle their way through Nan Zhong and deal another significant blow to Orochi’s forces. It’s nice when you … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Just a Quickie – Warriors Orochi #58 Warriors Wednesday: Daddy Dearest – Warriors Orochi #57 - Cao Cao, father of Cao Pi and Warriors series fixture, has been conspicuously absent for much of Warriors Orochi. Okay, we’ve sort of seen him a few times when Da Ji has been up to her illusory tricks at various junctures, but the man himself has been nowhere to be seen… and strongly implied to … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Daddy Dearest – Warriors Orochi #57 Warriors Wednesday: Filthy Garbage – Warriors Orochi #56 - Following his long-expected rebellion against his Crazy Snake Guy overlord, Cao Pi sets out to rescue his wife Zhen Ji from servitude to the Big O. We’re getting very close to the absolutely, positively, definitely end of Warriors Orochi now! There are just a few more episodes in the Wei campaign left to go, and then we’re … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Filthy Garbage – Warriors Orochi #56 Warriors Wednesday: Watch Me Whip, Watch Me Nene – Warriors Orochi #55 - By popular request, I present Nene! All right, one person asked if I could unlock Nene and play as her for a bit, but on a channel as small as mine that counts as “by popular request”. Turns out the suggestion was a good one, mind, as Nene is a ton of fun to play, … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Watch Me Whip, Watch Me Nene – Warriors Orochi #55 Warriors Wednesday: Do Not NTR Lu Bu – Warriors Orochi #54 - Of all the things you should not do to Lu Bu — and there are many — I’d say that cuckolding him is pretty high up the list, perhaps just underneath pursuing him. Still, Diao Chan doesn’t seem to be particularly enamoured with his attitude fighting in Orochi’s forces, and so she decides to defect … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Do Not NTR Lu Bu – Warriors Orochi #54 Warriors Wednesday: Naughty Boys – Warriors Orochi #53 - The time has finally come for Cao Pi to launch his rebellion against Da Ji and Orochi’s forces! In today’s mission, we take Xiahou Dun out for a bit of a spin. This is a character that I know quite a few people who like a lot (at least partially for the “badass with eyepatch” … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Naughty Boys – Warriors Orochi #53 Warriors Wednesday: It’s A Trap… Again – Warriors Orochi #52 - You can count on several things in a Warriors game: firstly, that pursuing Lu Bu is usually a bad idea; secondly, that the commander is struggling and that you should assist at once; and thirdly, that “it” is usually a trap. It’s a trope at this point; if a particular encounter in a Warriors battle feels mysteriously … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: It’s A Trap… Again – Warriors Orochi #52 Warriors Wednesday: Stoking the Fires of Rebellion – Warriors Orochi #51 - Today’s scuffle in the lands of Warriors Orochi sees Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan entering the picture, as Cao Pi does his best to gather the forces required for an effective rebellion. The two proud warriors, ever loyal to Wei even after they felt its leader had abandoned it, are going to take a bit … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Stoking the Fires of Rebellion – Warriors Orochi #51 Warriors Wednesday: Mystical Ninja – Warriors Orochi #50 - Cao Pi and friends have a tough battle ahead of them today: they’re up against Nene and her ninjutsu! It seems our “hero” is still biding his time before unleashing his inevitable betrayal of Da Ji and Orochi, however, but we get closer and closer with every mission. It’s not a case of if, it’s a case … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Mystical Ninja – Warriors Orochi #50 Warriors Wednesday: Chasing the Sun – Warriors Orochi #49 - Cao Pi is definitely up to something… and he’s starting to get bolder. In today’s mission, the Wei leader and his friends are tasked with putting down a rebellion by Sun Ce — the same rebellion, you may recall, that we helped instigate back in the Wu campaign. We’re getting closer to the time that … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Chasing the Sun – Warriors Orochi #49 Warriors Wednesday: Heavy Weapon – Warriors Orochi #48 - In today’s episode, Cao Pi, Xu Zhu and Xu Huang hit the jungle in an attempt to convince their ally Zhang He that Orochi is a cause worth fighting for. Of course, with Cao Pi being Cao Pi, he’s up to something. Exactly what isn’t quite clear just yet, but at some point in the very near future, … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Heavy Weapon – Warriors Orochi #48 Warriors Wednesday: Overly Ambitious – Warriors Orochi #47 - There I was, thinking that things were going a bit too well and things felt a bit “easy” as I started the Wei campaign on Normal difficulty. “Why not try Hard?” I thought. This, it turns out, was a bit of a mistake. It appears that at the start of this campaign I’m in a … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Overly Ambitious – Warriors Orochi #47 Warriors Wednesday: Do You Know The Wei? – Warriors Orochi #46 - No, I’m not even a little bit sorry for that title. Because it’s finally time for the final campaign of Warriors Orochi! Yes, after successfully clearing the Samurai, Wu and Shu campaigns, it’s finally time to tackle the Wei’s challenges — beginning with Cao Pi apparently in the service of the snake god himself. But, … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Do You Know The Wei? – Warriors Orochi #46 
Waifu Wednesday: Da Ji - While the majority of the Warriors Orochi cast is drawn from the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series — at least in its first installment — there are a few new characters in the mix, too. Besides Orochi himself, who we actually don’t see all that much until each faction’s respective final (and secret) missions, … Continue reading Waifu Wednesday: Da Ji Warriors Wednesday: Pursuing Lu Bu – Warriors Orochi #45 - You thought we were done with the Shu campaign, but it was I, Lu Bu– hold on, I’m getting confused somewhere, I think. Anyway, yes, as with all the other campaigns, the Shu missions play host to a “Chapter 8-X” which allows you to square up against Orochi once again… and perhaps give a certain little … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Pursuing Lu Bu – Warriors Orochi #45 Warriors Wednesday: Never Let Zhao Yun Tank – Warriors Orochi #42 - Orochi’s armies are growing in strength in an attempt to counter the growing confidence of the Shu forces. Zhao Yun can practically smell his master Liu Bei now — not literally, ’cause that’d be weird — and his friends are relieved to know that victory is within sight. There are still a few challenges left to overcome, … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Never Let Zhao Yun Tank – Warriors Orochi #42 Warriors Wednesday: One-Woman Army – Warriors Orochi #41 - The Shu gang still hasn’t quite tracked down Liu Bei, so Zhurong and Meng Huo decide to sneak off for a bit of independent investigation. Along the way, they encounter Jude from Tales of Xillia Musashi Miyamoto and decide to lend a hand, as he and his swordsmen friends appear to be struggling a bit. Hell hath … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: One-Woman Army – Warriors Orochi #41 Warriors Wednesday: Gratuitous Panty Shot – Warriors Orochi #40 - With an outfit like that, it was only a matter of time before Zhurong gave the people what they wanted. And in slow-motion, too! Ahem. Anyway, besides that little diversion, today’s Warriors Orochi outing sees the Shu gang teaming up with Wu’s Sun Ce in yet another sure-to-fail attempt to track down the perpetually absent Liu Bei. … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Gratuitous Panty Shot – Warriors Orochi #40 Warriors Wednesday: Scantily-Clad Barbarian Ladies – Warriors Orochi #39 - There’s no rest for the Shu forces as they come face to face with Masamune Date! Thankfully, Date’s friend Magoichi Saika, who has been rolling with the Shu crowd largely because of its disproportionate number of attractive and formidable female warriors, has a cunning plan ready to go… assuming he can keep his mind on … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Scantily-Clad Barbarian Ladies – Warriors Orochi #39 Warriors Wednesday: Shu on Wu – Warriors Orochi #38 - In this week’s Warriors Orochi mission, the various narratives cross paths as the Shu forces take on the Wu warriors who have been brought to heel by Orochi. This conflict, which unfolded off-screen during the Wu campaign, sees the Shu people continuing their quest to track down the missing Liu Bei… only to find a … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Shu on Wu – Warriors Orochi #38 Warriors Wednesday: Ganbare So Ganbare – Warriors Orochi #37 - The Shu campaign in Warriors Orochi continues today with another side mission, this time featuring everyone’s favourite thief, Goemon. Goemon has been doing what he does best: nicking stuff. So it’s up to the crack all-girl team of Zhurong, Yueying and Ginchiyo Tachibana to save the day… or at least all the stolen stuff, anyway. … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Ganbare So Ganbare – Warriors Orochi #37 
Waifu Wednesday: Zhurong - With today’s episode of Warriors Wednesday introducing Zhu Rong for the first time, I thought she’d make an ideal subject for a Waifu Wednesday article. And it’ll probably make my podcasting partner in crime Chris happy too, because he likes her. Y’know, like likes her. Ahem. Anyway. Zhu Rong (or Zhurong, as her name is more correctly … Continue reading Waifu Wednesday: Zhurong Warriors Wednesday: Junglist Massive – Warriors Orochi #36 - In today’s Warriors Orochi mission, the Shu gang hit the jungle and encounter the formidable Meng Huo and his even scarier wife Zhu Rong. Renowned strategist Sima Yi has been causing trouble for the barbarians, it seems, so Zhao Yun and company take the opportunity to forge a new alliance and demonstrate their own fighting … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Junglist Massive – Warriors Orochi #36 
Waifu Wednesday: Ginchiyo Tachibana - Those of you who have been following the Warriors Wednesday series of videos will know that in each of Warriors Orochi’s campaigns, I’ve found one warrior in particular who has proven to be an ever-reliable killing machine that I can fall back on in most circumstances. In the Shu campaign, which we’re currently embroiled in … Continue reading Waifu Wednesday: Ginchiyo Tachibana Warriors Wednesday: Honour, Hojo and Halberds – Warriors Orochi #35 - In today’s Warriors Orochi mission, it’s up to the Shu people to save the Hojo clan before they defect to Orochi’s forces! Can they pull it off and obtain some valuable new allies? Zhao Yun, Yue Ying and Ginchiyo Tachibana certainly think so, but they have a formidable challenge ahead of them. Orochi may not … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Honour, Hojo and Halberds – Warriors Orochi #35 Warriors Wednesday: Spirits of Sanada – Warriors Orochi #34 - Oh no! Ghosts! They ruin everything. Particularly when they’re not actually there. This is the painful lesson that Yukimura Sanada has to learn in today’s Warriors Orochi mission. Fortunately, Zhao Yun, Yue Ying and Ginchiyo Tachibana are right there ready and waiting to educate him with various pointy implements. Hit the jump to see how the Shu … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Spirits of Sanada – Warriors Orochi #34 Warriors Wednesday: Gender Roles – Warriors Orochi #33 - In today’s Warriors Wednesday, Ginchiyo Tachibana struts her stuff and proves exactly why she is known as the Goddess of Lightning! Fighting alongside Xingcai and Zhao Yun in the first side mission of the Shu campaign, Tachibana quickly proves herself to be a formidable warrior who is more than happy to put all the men … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Gender Roles – Warriors Orochi #33 Warriors Wednesday: One Foxy Lady – Warriors Orochi #32 - The Shu campaign of Warriors Orochi is now well underway as Zhao Yun kicks off his efforts to find his lost master Liu Bei. Well, I say that; I kicked him out of the party in favour of trying out newcomer Ginchiyo Tachibana, who I unlocked at the end of last week’s mission; turns out … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: One Foxy Lady – Warriors Orochi #32 Warriors Wednesday: Not Just a Woman – Warriors Orochi #31 - Having soundly kicked Orochi’s behind into next week with both the Samurai and Wu forces, it’s now the turn of Shu to suffer under my command as we once again take on Crazy Snake Guy. All of the various forces in Warriors Orochi start in a fairly desperate situation of one form or another, but Shu seems … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Not Just a Woman – Warriors Orochi #31 Warriors Wednesday: I’m On a Boat – Warriors Orochi #30 - Well, okay, there was one more challenge left to undertake with the Wu forces… just like with the Samurai forces, Orochi needs a second kicking just to make sure he stays down for good!

I really did learn through pain. Intense, burning, repeated pain. We have a long journey ahead of us, dear friends, but it’s a worthwhile one. In front of us stands the seemingly undefeatable Tadakatsu Honda, and beyond? The path to Orochi. When I say “seemingly undefeatable”, I… well, you’ll see. … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Learn Through Pain – Warriors Orochi #28 Warriors Wednesday: Some People Are Into Weird Feet – Warriors Orochi #27 - You know who you are. In today’s episode of Warriors Wednesday, I finally catch up with my other video series technology- (and confidence)-wise and show my face! How exciting. Anyway, now we have The Wild Man on our side, let’s take him for a spin, shall we? BWAHAHAHAHA! Warriors Wednesday: How The Wild Man Does It – Warriors Orochi #26 - How DOES The Wild Man do it? Find out in today’s thrilling installment of Warriors Wednesday, as the Wu forces attempt to prove themselves to Keiji Maeda. If you were looking forward to seeing my smiling face again on this video, apologies to disappoint; I recorded this before I got the new gear necessary to … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: How The Wild Man Does It – Warriors Orochi #26 Warriors Wednesday: In Case of Emergency, Use Taishi Ci – Warriors Orochi #25 - Side note: since starting Dynasty Warriors 8, in which they pronounce everyone’s names quite differently from earlier Warriors games, I have become aware that I am perhaps pronouncing… well, everyone’s name wrong. Tai-shuh-tsuh, indeed. Anyway. That, hopefully, will not detract too much from your experiences with the ever-expanding series that is Warriors Wednesday. We’re continuing … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: In Case of Emergency, Use Taishi Ci – Warriors Orochi #25 Warriors Wednesday: Ina Bit of a Pickle – Warriors Orochi #24 - Things are heating up! After a few missions where things have gone mostly smoothly for the Wu boys and girls (and friends) it seems we’re starting to encounter a little bit more in the way of resistance… even with all those lovely Abilities unlocked! Well, desperate times call for desperate measures… so now seems like … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Ina Bit of a Pickle – Warriors Orochi #24 Warriors Wednesday: Enter Kunoichi – Warriors Orochi #23 - The Wu campaign continues as the Sun family comes to blows over the recapture of their father. In this installment, the Battle of Sekigahara, we retire the ever-reliable Ranmaru Mori for now in favour of newcomer Kunoichi, who turned up in the previous battle.

It also features … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Robert Miles Presents – Warriors Orochi #21 Warriors Wednesday: The Mail Must Get Through – Warriors Orochi #20 - Warriors Orochi is definitely getting easier the further I go through it. Today’s mission is done and dusted in under 20 minutes — including the obligatory “upgrade and fusion” time before we actually get into the hackin’ and a-slashin’. This is keeping things fun and interesting, however; the sense of “power creep” is very satisfying … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: The Mail Must Get Through – Warriors Orochi #20 Warriors Wednesday: When You Get Around Like I Do, You Pick Up a Thing or Two – Warriors Orochi #19 - Sakon Shima has been something of a fixture in the Samurai Warriors series since the second installment. Typically depicted as a cunning strategist and a powerful warrior in his own right, the real Sakon Shima was an extremely well-regarded and famous samurai. After his original master Junkei Tsutsui met his end, he retired, but after … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: When You Get Around Like I Do, You Pick Up a Thing or Two – Warriors Orochi #19 Warriors Wednesday: If There Are No Biscuits, There Shall Be Only Death – Warriors Orochi #18 - The Wu campaign continues apace as Sun Ce and compatriots attempt to recapture some vital storehouses. As we all know, an army can’t fight on an empty stomach. And this is just as true in Orochi’s world as it is in our own.

That’s the sound of the pain train coming your way, Orochi… just, uh, not just yet.

Sun Ce has little choice but to go along with Orochi’s scheming until he and … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Worst Sneak Attack Ever – Warriors Orochi #17 Warriors Wednesday: Rocket-Launcher Spear – Warriors Orochi #16 - It’s time to start a new campaign in Warriors Orochi! Yes, this week we leave behind the Samurai Warriors in favour of the Wu campaign, although we get to keep all the abilities and whatnot we unlocked over the course of our Samurai adventure. Wu, it seems, is in cahoots with Orochi — though not … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Rocket-Launcher Spear – Warriors Orochi #16 
Waifu* Wednesday: Ranmaru Mori - Prior to firing up Warriors Orochi for the ongoing Warriors Wednesday video series, my sole contact with Omega Force’s formidable franchise was various incarnations of Dynasty Warriors. Having never encountered Samurai Warriors and its cast, I had consequently never stumbled across Ranmaru Mori before. And, as such, I had also never encountered the numerous… discussions over this … Continue reading Waifu* Wednesday: Ranmaru Mori Warriors Wednesday: Samurai Warriors vs Orochi 2 – Electric Lu Bu-Galoo – Warriors Orochi #15 - Did you think we were done with the adventures of the Samurai Warriors? Well, nope, we weren’t quite finished… Today we tackle the final side mission of the Samurai campaign in Warriors Orochi, which culminates in another tough battle against King Snek himself.

I mean, you know it’s me eventually, but hit the … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Samurai Warriors vs Orochi 2 – Electric Lu Bu-Galoo – Warriors Orochi #15 Warriors Wednesday: Samurai Warriors vs Orochi – Warriors Orochi #14 - We’ve made it! The final battle… for this campaign, anyway. Yes, today we reach the climactic final showdown of the Samurai campaign in Warriors Orochi and face the snake god himself in single combat.

Even the great warriors of history … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Samurai Warriors vs Orochi – Warriors Orochi #14 Warriors Wednesday: The God of War’s Windmill Blade – Warriors Orochi #13 - We’re nearly there! On the Samurai Warriors campaign, that is. Yes, it’s the penultimate mission of the first phase of our Warriors Orochi playthrough, meaning that next time around we get to wail on ol’ snake boy himself for the first time. After a bit of off-camera unlocking of passive abilities, things are going pretty well for … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: The God of War’s Windmill Blade – Warriors Orochi #13 Warriors Wednesday: The Solid Whack You Can Deliver with Wood – Warriors Orochi #12 - Things are getting noticeably more difficult as we approach the conclusion of the Samurai campaign in Warriors Orochi. Today’s mission sees our intrepid heroes facing off against a selection of powerful foes, including “wild man” Keiji Maeda, who threatens to break Xiao Qiao in half (“but who will put me back together again?!”). But help … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: The Solid Whack You Can Deliver with Wood – Warriors Orochi #12 
Delving into Musou: Warriors Orochi - Regular readers will know that, for a little while now, I’ve been posting videos of my experiences with Warriors Orochi. So I figured it was probably time I wrote about it! This realisation comes at a good time, as although I’m a significant distance away from beating the game — and I would actually like … Continue reading Delving into Musou: Warriors Orochi Warriors Wednesday: Mistakes Were Made – Warriors Orochi #11 - Ahhh… I knew it wouldn’t last. After last week’s joyful celebrations of clearing a mission first time… today we more than make up for that good performance with a series of unfortunate and crushing defeats. But still, as long as we learn from our mistakes, it’s okay to mess up once or twice, right…?
Around the Network - Hello everyone! It’s been a hectic week for me this week, to say the least. My wife Andie was rushed into hospital with suspected appendicitis early in the week, and then I came down with… something or other as a result of the stress of the whole situation combined with regular visits to A Place … Continue reading Around the Network Warriors Wednesday: First-Time Clear – Warriors Orochi #10 - I did it! For the first time in quite a while… I cleared a Warriors Orochi battle without messing it up even once. This is surely cause for celebration… at least partly because it almost certainly won’t happen again, as the challenge factor continues to ramp up with each new mission. Hit the jump for … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: First-Time Clear – Warriors Orochi #10 Warriors Wednesday: Cavalry’s ‘Ere, Luv – Warriors Orochi #9 - Yes, it’s that time again, and today it’s Lu Xun’s time to shine, having been left somewhat on the sidelines for the last couple of missions. Today the Samurai Warriors and friends take on the Battle of Nagashino and attempt to obtain some cavalry support while assaulting an Orochi stronghold. Unfortunately said cavalry doesn’t appear … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Cavalry’s ‘Ere, Luv – Warriors Orochi #9 Warriors Wednesday: Most Definitely Sorcery Bullshit – Warriors Orochi #8 - It’s once again time for the Samurai Warriors and friends to continue their adventure through the otherworldly realm of Orochi. The difficulty level is starting to ramp up noticeably now — today’s mission takes a few attempts to get just right, but we get there in the end! We’re well past the halfway point of the Samurai Warriors scenario … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Most Definitely Sorcery Bullshit – Warriors Orochi #8 Warriors Wednesday: Pursued By Lu Bu – Warriors Orochi #7 - Talk to any Warriors veteran, and one piece of advice will almost certainly be a constant: “do not pursue Lu Bu”. However, what a lot of people fail to mention is that you should also do your very best to not be pursued by Lu Bu, either, because that is a sure-fire means of finding your insides … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Pursued By Lu Bu – Warriors Orochi #7 Warriors Wednesday: So Many Dongs – Warriors Orochi #6 - It’s Warriors Wednesday time again, as Nobunaga Oda and the Samurai Warriors forces continue to fight back against Orochi and his army.

Warriors Wednesday: The Sword That Hits Eight Times – Warriors Orochi #5 - It’s time for another romp in Orochi’s less-than-fair lands as Nobunaga and his samurai friends hack and slash their way to another victory. I, uh, made a small mistake with recording this one in that I accidentally deleted my whole commentary while I was cleaning up my videos folder, so I ended up having to … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: The Sword That Hits Eight Times – Warriors Orochi #5 Warriors Wednesday: Still Not Sure How To Pronounce “Cao” – Warriors Orochi #4 - Our adventure through the original Warriors Orochi continues with another of the Samurai scenario’s side stories. Nobunaga and company take on a rescue mission to try and find a new ally. Will they be victorious first time? (No.) How about the second? (Nope.) Maybe third time’s the charm? Hit the jump to see how these … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Still Not Sure How To Pronounce “Cao” – Warriors Orochi #4 Warriors Wednesday: TFW No Big Tiddy Strategist GF – Warriors Orochi #3 - The battles against Orochi’s forces continue as Nobunaga and friends come face to face with a powerful foe. It’s Da Ji, Orochi’s strategist and a master of disguise. Deceiving the Coalition forces by taking on the appearance of the apparently slain Cao Cao, Da Ji seeks to take control of the battlefield on her own … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: TFW No Big Tiddy Strategist GF – Warriors Orochi #3 Warriors Wednesday: Know Your Place – Warriors Orochi #2 - The battles continue in Warriors Orochi as Nobunaga and friends attempt to rescue some peasants from a fate worse than death. Or just, you know, death. I’ve been having a real blast with Warriors Orochi so far, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the series develops over time. The prospect of the upcoming Warriors Orochi 4 incorporating … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: Know Your Place – Warriors Orochi #2 Warriors Wednesday: I’m Nobunaga, Bitch – Warriors Orochi #1 - Last month’s feature on Hyrule Warriors got me thoroughly re-enamoured with the Warriors series as a whole, so I figured why not spend some time playing through some installments I’ve never tried before? One subseries I’ve always been particularly curious about is Warriors Orochi, an ambitious, fantastic crossover affair which initially brought together the casts of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai … Continue reading Warriors Wednesday: I’m Nobunaga, Bitch – Warriors Orochi #1
