Veni, Vidi, Video - DBolical YouTube Roundup Apr 11th - Apr 15th feature - Boomerang X

Intro

Hey there! Welcome to this week's roundup of the YouTube, where we covered a great mod-gone-standalone-game!

One of the most popular outputs of the fan-centric SCP community is Containment Breach, a fan game where you must tussle with the iconic creatures of the SCP continuity and with solid modding support. Ultimate Edition is a fan effort that turns up every horror dial to eleven, with new and horrific ways to meet your end as you escape from the testing facility.

As a vehicle for modding, Empire at War has seen more than Star Wars enter through the gates - and FOC Alliance - TOS sees you inhabiting the often-competing franchise of Star Trek! Set during the time of the original show's debut, sleek retro ship design joins new mechanics that make this total conversion take on a personality all of its own.

All you need is a boomerang and a hell of a lot of mobility - so says Boomerang X, a high-paced, frenetic action "shooter" with no shooting, but lots of boomeranging. Powers and advanced mobility mechanics augment your ability to dominate the field and crushing yet rewarding combat loops will keep you coming back again and again.

Modding is a journey that can take years - even decades - to reach fruition. The deceptively named G-String is one such mod that, once a rough total conversion for Half-Life 2, is now a deeply atmospheric and thrilling conversion that managed to make the jump to standalone. Now you can take a jump into this richly detailed cyberpunk dystopia.

Hunk is a character many Resident Evil fans have grown attached to despite his small screentime, and with Mortal Night, you'll have ample opportunity to put his reputation to the test in randomised encounters with fearsome enemies. Like a pseudo-roguelike, Mortal Night will test your skills more than your memory, and reward mastery of its mechanics.

That's all for this round-up. What do you think about the mods listed? Feel free to discuss below and check out the YouTube for more videos past, present, and future!
