      That's because you were busy pressing skip and missed the dialogue where it asks if the armies of darkness stand and defend after defeating the dark lord or turn and run... The default option was to turn and run which skips to the ending scene... Sorry, but you will have to play through skycraft again in it's entirety if you wish to replay the battle as you saved data was deleted upon completion...

An absolute marvel, part 1 and 2 are a bit old though, so if you care about graphics maybe start from the 3rd part. Its an rpg too, but with weapons, skills and tech. But it might not be your thing if you only care for magic, swords and such.

    What they don't show is that the actual "war" with the evil fire lord happens exclusively in the raid attached to that mission. To actually fight him you have to participate in the raid, which means you either have to wait 8 hours for the raid queue to pop, or wait till you have enough guild members online that actually want to do that particular raid.

I had to try and stifle my laughter so I didn't wake her up while she was trying to rest so many times throughout the night.....I was not successful and I suffered her wrath a few times. I honestly want to say thank you for these. I was scared for my wife and my child. These helped me feel better and that helped me be a better partner and support my wife during this. I sincerely am grateful for the Viva La Dirt League and all the hard work you guys put into this series. I laughed till I cried several times during a stressful time (exciting and full of joy but stressful and scary all the same) and that release helped me to be in great spirits and be a better partner to a wife in pain. The little guy ain't out yet but for the rest of my life you'll always be associated with the birth of my first child and I can't wait till he's old enough for me to show him all your videos.

    This happened to me in Wing Commander 3. The entire time, the most you see is one, maybe two capital ships go at it.

You literally have Captain Eisen say, "We're going to be escorting the big boys!" as he looks down at a readout with at least 50 ships on it.
    I'm like, "FINALLY! We get the big Endor-style battle!"
    Nope, the entire mission is escorting the cruiser and destroyer to the jump point that have been with your small task for the entire time. You never see the fleet, never participate in the battle, nothing. I was like, "WTF!?!?!?"

The good old Freespace 2 fleet battles were absolutely dope, breaking through groups upon groups of fighters with your bomber, shields half down, hull damage exceeding 30%, energy low, and yet you're faced with the next obstacle, heavy space flak fire from the capital ship you're supposed to destroy. Pushing through inch by inch while keeping a close watch at your forward shields while at the same time trying to keep the capital in target for your torpedoes to lock on while also keeping out an eye behind you for fighter squads turning around to chase your tail. And then the big moment, despite all odds and your ship barely holding together the lock on procedure is finally complete, the satisfying beeping noise ringing in your ears telling you that it's time to blow shit up. And then you hit the button to send the babies flying towards their destiation, about 30 seconds later and loosing half of the torpedoes to point defense fire you finally see the rest of them smashing into the side of the capital, followed by a massive explosion and shockwave, you squeeze the last little bit of energy your generator can dump out to reinforce your barely funcioning shields for the oncoming shockwave.

Fade back in to characters all looking exhausted and the war basically won before either you arrive to where the main villain leading the army is or they come to you and at that point it is just a 1v1 battle".

    These skits keep on being absolute gold. I love the 4th wall break when you just walk up to the greenscreen and hit it to show the battlescene is fake.

      There's probably no greenscreen, he was hitting air, pretending there was a curtain.

      But it wasn't the fourth wall, but an actual fake wall within the story. They didn't contact the audience, the complaints remained within the story.

    Britt and Adam are just amazing at this.
    Rowan, like Rowan Atkinson, has a specific character written all over himself and that's why he is so great as the butch yet evasive character.
    I love your videos and hope to continue seeing more quality content like this in the future.
