[Video Series] Distant Worlds - Exploring Elite: Dangerous

shab00ka · Feb 17, 2016

What's up everybody?

I've been making a series of narrated videos during the Distant Worlds Expedition, a bit of a monologue/timeline of the goings on in my journey.
I was fortunate enough to be featured in the latest E

Newsletter, and I thought that perhaps some non-explorers who were curious or feeling the itch may enjoy it.
I'll update this post as videos are released, and feel free to leave any feedback or questions/comments/insults/whatever.

See you guys out there o7

Made it to Waypoint 10 last night, will be arriving at the core tonight. I must admit, I am damn excited about seeing Sgr A* for the first time.
Hopefully, I'll have episode 11 out tomorrow evening.

Fly safe CMDRs o7

New episode! Proud of this one, this is my first time getting to Sgr A*. It's been a long time coming.

Thanks man! I'll keep an eye out

Do have a look at those videos Commanders! They are fr**king awsome! I'm subbed to Shab00ka and get all fiddly when I see a new video pop up. If you've got an ounce of love for space in you his videos will make your hearts melt...

o7 Cmdr Shab00ka, see you out there!

Arubeto · Feb 22, 2016

Very nice video series, thanks for sharing!

Did you participate in our record shattering 100 players in one Sag A* instance? Would love to see your video on it!

Hilight · Feb 23, 2016

Excellent video series. Thanks for al the hard work of making them and R+ for you

shab00ka · Feb 23, 2016

Thanks a lot everybody! I really appreciate the support

Unfortunately, instancing wasn't on my side during Sunday's event, but I was at Sgr A* haha.

Waypoint 12 - my favorite so far. Absolutely stunning views and loads of SRV fun.

shab00ka · Feb 25, 2016

I just want to say thank you. It's truly overwhelming, all the support and love you guys (and girls) have shown me. I am so thankful for the opportunity to share my experiences and travels, and I feel like you are all with me when I'm flying around out here.

So give yourselves a pat on the back, and if you're ever in my neck of the woods, I owe you a beer.

I regret that I wasn't able to join the Distant World's expedition. I didn't have a ship capable of it at the time and I just bought a copy of the game for my son and we've been playing in the bubble together. He just got himself up to a DBX so we're going to make a short trip out to the Barnacles and give them a look. Neither of us have been to a nebula yet

I watched all 12 of your videos earlier today. You were mentioned in one of Obsidian Ant's vids about a week back, BTW. I'm subscribed to both of you now. I hope you chronical your entire journey. It's been really great watching them. One could almost believe we're actually out there, in the black. Instead of you know, sitting here at my desk, at work, during lunch, listening to my co-worker slurp noodles. Ugh.

Anyway, it's been great stuff. Can't wait to watch more. I think once my son gets an Asp Explorer we might plan our own Sag A trip.

Safe travels.

That is awesome. It's one of my goals to one day have a son or daughter to game with, and the fact that he's playing Elite with you, kudos to him and your parenting skills.

I really appreciate it, it means so much to me. Obsidian has himself a great channel with a plethora of knowledge; he was actually the one who convinced me to buy Elite and who inspired me to start making videos.

You guys feel free to send me a friend request in game (CMDR Shabooka), and if you're out towards Sag A* when we're on the way back, I'd love to say hello

Thanks again
Shabooka

Will do, but by the time you've come back to it, we'll probably still be in the bubble. We're not very quick

Normally neither am I, it's incredibly difficult to keep up with the fleet haha.

Hope to run into you guys sometime.

New episode! Shenanigans, and a special message for all our UK fleet members at the end

Videos of very good quality. The OP has a sense of the depth and the viewpoints, which hypnotizes you. Congratulations and +1, of course.
