Defend The House

No payment for October

Sorry guys I messed up, you were all charged for September, the Patreon was supposed to be paused until Myth videos came back, that's my bad. You will not be charged for October to pay that back.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Myths - Vol.1 EARLY

This will be out in approximately 8 hours, sorry we couldn't get it to you guys any sooner.

- Joe

We back baby!

Myths are almost back again. Call of Duty Black Ops 4 (Vol. 1) will be launching soon but before I get into myths, I need to talk a bit about the Patreon.

Due to my work schedule being busy (I want to produce a lot of Red Dead 2 and Fallout 76 content, along with streaming every night on Facebook) I have decided to simplify the Patreon. The $10 tier has been removed (if you're pledged to that please lower it to $5) and everything has been squished down into the $2 and $5 slots.

$2 now gets your name credited in our main videos with $5 n...

Patreon Paused.

The Patreon has been paused, while I appreciate people willing to support the channel even when its during a quiet time, it doesn't feel right to charge you guys right now. You guys will not be charged any money until the Myth videos start being released again, thanks for your patience.

For the mean time other videos will keep coming. Jamison's content is still happening and I hope to bring back A Game in A Game when we have the chance. Myth videos should start rolling out again with the release of Battlefield V, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Fal...

Thinking Time.

So it's been a while since I uploaded to the DTH Youtube channel. While there was some genuine reasons behind that (moving into a new unfurnished flat, pushing forward heavily with our Facebook livestreams and a limited amount of games that match our video formats), taking some time away from Youtube has given me a moment to contemplate on the way I run DTH. 

I have always been focused and worried about keeping DTH active. Youtube directly push's channels that upload more and punishes channels that do not (we have lost roughly 2000 subsc...

Moving Flat!

There's been a bit of a slow down in video production recently because this week was moving week for me! I have never moved into my own place before so I didn't really know what I was doing. Lots of waiting for internet, sorting out recycling and boilers, I don't know how to adult very well. Planning to get back into recording this weekend.

I posted the first episode of Game in a Game a few weeks back and even though it wasn't a big hit view-wise, the people who did watch it seemed to enjoy it a lot! The 2nd episode will also be in Sea of Thi...

Rainbow Six Siege Myths - Vol.2

While I expect hardcore fans will still know a lot of these, I'm hoping we are starting to move into more unknown territory.

Myth: A claymore laser can go through a bullet hole.

Myth: Sledge can break Tachanka's turret.

Myth: You can destroy a barricade as it's being placed.

Myth: You can be killed by the impact of Smokes Gas Grenade.

What about Hibana's X-KARIOS?

Myth: You can protect yourself from a flashbang by switching to your Drone cam.

Myth: Caveira can evade Jackle's Eyenox scan using her...

Weekly update!

Instead of just dropping a myth list one day before the videos comes out, I'm going to try and get into the habit of giving you guys a weekly roadmap update once every 7 days. These will be very short updates but will just let you guys know what I have planned for the next week, no promises these roadmaps come true, things get in the way, schedules change but they will be what I will be working on and what I hope to accomplish over the week.

Week of April 9th:

Hoping for:

Rainbow Six Seige Myths - Vol.2

The Unheard Sounds of...

Far Cry 5 Myths!

Not sure if I will be titling this Vol.1, it will most likely be a one off but maybe the comments will help turn it into a mini-series.

Myth: You can stick explosives to animal companions.

Myth: You can kill a helicopter pilot with a spade.

What about the slingshot?

Myth: You can get Boomer to ride in a truck.

Myth: You can surf on a plane.

Myth: You can get a speed boost in water with a Cutlass charge.

The new show has a name!

So a while ago I mentioned I wanted to create a 'Challenge' based show after people really liked the format of 'Skydiving onto a Ladder'. Now Behind The Myths is gone and is livestreamed instead, there's room for a personality based show. My initial idea was simply 'we make a difficult challenge to achieve in a multiplayer game and edit it like the Skydiving video', it was pretty vague but today I have refined the idea down and given it a title. 

It's going to be called 'Game in a Game'.

Game in a Game is going to be us creating ou...

Rainbow Six Siege Myths Vol.1!

Taken me a while to piece it together but here are the myths we have ready for Vol.1

Myth: You can kill an operator by repelling into them. 

Myth: Bandit’s CED-1 can prevent Thermite’s Brimstone Charge’s detonation.

Myth: You can destroy Castle’s Armor Panel with melee strikes.  

Myth: Twitch’s Shock Drone can disable Pulse’s Cardiac Sensor. 

Myth: Glaz’s OTs-03 can shoot through Presidential Plane’s glass.

Myth: Glaz’s OTs-03 can shoot through Mira’s Black Mi...

Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.22

I posted most these myths before so this isn't much of a reveal but this is the final list and song for Vol.22.

Myth: A Zeppelin can crush you when you're underground.

Myth: You can leave your tank behind in the mission 'Mud and Blood'.

Myth: If you destroy a players mortar while they're using it, they will die. 

Myth: You can block a spotting flare with a smoke grenade.

What about a flash flare?

What about the Infiltrators Signal Flare?

Myth: You can get under every map using a horse and a ...

Defend The House's Final Form

This might be a giant wall of text as I am going to try and outline everything that I have been figuring out recently with the future of the channel. There has been slightly less videos recently as we experiment and figure stuff out but I think I am close to having the future of DTH figured out.

First thing I have to talk about is the decided Facebook 2 video series. We have 4 currently in the works and we're going to be sticking with these 4 into the recent future.

Defend The House 2

Review Roulette: Joe and J...

A load of Battlefield 1 Myths!

Time for Battlefield 1 Myths to make a come back! I have a pretty big stock pile of footage, hoping it's enough to make 2 episodes from. This is what I have currently:

Myth: Supply drops can stop the train.

Myth: A grenade will bounce off a teammate (revisited)

Myth: You can leave your tank behind in the mission 'Mud and Blood'.

Myth: You can kill yourself with a supply drop.

Myth: The C Class Airship can splatter infantry players.

Myth: The  C Class Airship  can tip over Destroyers.

My...

Behind The Edit Vol.2

Sorry for the delay, because this took so long I thought i'd do a mega video talking about every single Battlefield 1 video that doesn't have any behind the scenes commentary, turns out there is quite a lot of them.

Sea of Thieves Myths!

Myth list:

Myth: You can vomit in another players bucket.

Myth: A ship can crush you.

Myth: You can kill a teammate with an explosive barrel.

Myth: A skeleton can detonate an explosive barrel.

What about lightning?

Myth: There is an edge to the map.

Myth: The captains table can launch you.

Defend The House 2?

So the NDA has been lifted and I wanted you guys to be the first to know we are launching a new channel/project (not to replace DTH but to go alongside it), the only unusual bit is it's on Facebook...

Now this factor might be a hard sell for people (I have the fun task of trying to explain this to the rest of the community in a vlog soon) but I think it's something that will benefit everybody in the end.

So the main questions are probably what? and why?

What:

We have wanted to do more personality based stuff for a while alon...

Upcoming Stuff

So recently I've been struggling a little bit for video ideas and inspiration. I'm waiting for Battlefield 1 to drop some DLC but apart from that the game lineup is a little bit sparse. 

We do have some stuff coming up soon though!

We've been having a lot of fun with the Sea of Thieves Beta! There will actually be a 'Beauty of' and a Myth video for it. We don't usually do videos on games pre-release but that was before we had so little games to cover. I've also recorded a solid chunk of the next Battlefield 1 Details. For  Bat...

Back to work!

My holiday break is over, it went on longer than I expected, I was due to go on a trip to New York on the 5th but due to the huge storm it got delayed to the 8th but I'm currently back in England, adjusting to the jet lag.

I want to thank you guys for your patience, I really haven't been supplying you guys with much content recently and nearly all of you have stuck around and kept supporting us. I have a good feeling about 2018, this could be a big one for us, time to get back to the grind, updates coming soon!

- Joe

End of the year!

This video will either be out tonight or tomorrow, depends on if I launch it while intoxicated tonight :P I'm giving this one to all of you guys early (sorry $10 pledges you got plenty of stuff coming up I promise). I wanted to thank you guys for the support this year, DTH is not a very profitable channel, it takes a long time to make videos which are usually pretty short, that doesn't result in great ad-revenue. I've had multiple people tell me that I have to change the way the channel works, YOU HAVE TO BE DAILY is what I get told but I will ...

Titanfall 2 Myths Vol.8

The (likely) finale of the series should be out in a few days, I also forgot to talk about a specific video project which I'll explain after the myth list.

Myth: You can be grappled by multiple people at once.

Myth: A lone grunt will surrender against a Titan.

Myth: You can kill two people with a phase shift.

Myth: You can grapple a tick before it deploys.

Myth: You can kill yourself with a pulse blade.

Myth: You can firestar a friendly Titan to protect them from being rodeoed.

Myth: You can assassinate som...

DTH in 2018.

This is another small update post but also, near the end I am going to be talking about how DTH is looking for next year and the future!

So I have finished a small, cute, Christmas video for the 25th, nothing ground-breaking but its just something fun I threw together to wish you guys a Merry Christmas!

I think I already mentioned that the finale of Titanfall 2 and 'Best Games of 2017' is in the works but we recently did a Battlefield 1 recording and boy was it something. Battlefield 1 Mega Myth coming after Christmas along with some mo...

End of 2017 Update!

This will probably be the last big update of the year! I am hoping to get a bunch more videos out but it's a very busy time for me. My sisters birthday is Thursday, I am busy from the 23rd to 25th, my own birthday is the 28th, then obviously New Years Eve and New Years day. While December is always mega busy for me I will be trying my best to squeeze in as much filming and editing as possible.

Currently we have the finale of Titanfall 2 recorded and mine and Jamison's 'Top Ten Games of 2017'. This week I am going to be recording more Battlefi...

Defend The Podcast #8 ("Pay To Win")

The final episode of the year, this is maybe my favorite chat we have done so far. I will have an update post early next week, there's still more stuff to come before the year is over.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Myths....kindof

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Myths will be coming soon but also not but also yes, it is.

I don't like SWBF2, you might know this from mine and Jamison's review, not only because of the lootboxes, the game just isn't very good. I don't want to support it but people have been asking for Myths on Star Wars Battlefront 2 so we are doing that. You'll see.

Myth: Darth Vadar can ride a Tauntaun.

Myth: Vehicles/mounts can stack.

Myth: You can kill yourself with your own Recon Droid.

Myth: Water will save you from Boba's ...

Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.20

Got a good feeling about this one, the list seems strong and the music is good, should be out this weekend.

Myth: You can kill a Zeppelin driver.

Myth: You can fly a Heavy Bomber upside down.

Myth: A Supply Drop will trigger explosives.

Myth: A Supply Drop can crush a horse.

Myth: You can bayonet charge through a door.

Myth: An explosion can launch a vehicle and kill a teammate.

Myth: You can shoot through allies.

Myth: Grenades will go through allies.

Myth: The Kolibri cannot smash g...

A Battlefield Story.

The next video on the channel was going to be Battlefield 1 Myths Vol.20 but there was one myth in there that had such a story behind it, I didn't know how to edit it into a normal Myth video.

During the recording process of the next myth video, me and Jamison tried 'You can skydive onto a ladder'..... for 7 hours.

What followed was the longest, most stressful single myth testing we had ever encountered and at the end of the days, the results are still not 100% clear. I wanted to do this journey justice so I will be making it it's own v...

Upcoming videos and Christmas update.

I plan on December being a mega month, let's get down to it.

In The Works

First up within the next few days is Destiny 2 Myths - Vol.2. List below.

Myth: You can dance on a sparrow while driving it.

Myth: You can kill yourself with ricocheted bullets.

Myth: It's possible for a Titan to kill a Thresher with Fists of Havoc.

Myth: You run faster with a sword equipped.

Myth:  You can explode rockets and grenades by shooting them.

Behind The Edit (Vol.1) Battlefield 1 Details.

This is my first attempt at the brand new Patreon exclusive show 'Behind the Edit' (I really need to think of a better name). This show covers behind the scenes details such as brainstorming, editing, filming, any information you guys don't get from watching our Behind The Myth series. I think there's a lot of improvements needed to the show, I hope to get better at it as time goes on. This first episode is going to be public on Patreon, for all pledges and for any other DTH viewer to find but the future of the series will be for $5 pledges.
