Game Plans

Sundays:

A set of games I can play while watching the other streamers on the multistream and interacting with chat. Must fit the format of shorter (2-hour) streams.

 

  • Donkey Kong Bananza

  • Picross S (when I need a break: S2)

  • Power Wash Simulator (between games)

Choice Games:

A set of games I really want to play, whether by express choice or a sense of obligation. Twitch viewers can populate this with a points redemption. Presently, I am finishing series that I started earlier and then gained further access to series entries after finishing the set.

This set is on Mondays & Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong

  • Klonoa: Empire of Dreams

  • The Legend of Zelda (current: Twilight Princess)

  • Metroid

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy

Event Games/Etc.:

Games and other streams voted on by the community for certain events. Most often, this is for annual events such as my Twitch Affiliate anniversary and my streaming anniversary, or as a break between finishing game series. There can be more of these if Twitch subscription milestones are hit.

 

  • Between Twitch series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer

 

THE BEAST WITHIN

 

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - https://youtu.be/_6JZkTlzRoc

 

The final part of the opening begins!


A streamer I watch has recently become more of a speedrunner and less of a variety streamer. As much as I think it's cool that he's learned how to play the game so quickly, I more enjoy watching variety streams, because it lets me see games I'm not good at or have never had the chance to play, whether for timing or financial reasons. Still, he noted that his game of choice has a really tough opening (probably because it was originally an arcade game and wanted to eat your quarters) and asked if there were any other speedruns out there where the first level was awful. I brought up Twilight Princess—not because the opening is hard, necessarily, but because it's a long slog of cutscenes and dialogue. Great for the occasional or first-time playthrough, terrible for speedrunning.


This part gives us the more important character introduction: Midna! She'll be our companion for the game and even gets a dedicated button to chat with her (which I'll keep hitting on accident because there are too many buttons to keep track of for all the different games I play. The constant HUD with buttons helps but I'm not usually looking at it). Midna is definitely the most beloved of the companions Link has had, and her sassy personality is probably part of it. The characters in Twilight Princess are very expressive, even just with wordless animations, and Midna gets a lot of love in that department.
