Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its Mario Kart time! Mario Kart 8!

Date: May 21th
Start time: 8pm CT
Game: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)

It has been a while and a half since I’ve Mario Kart 8, so I was really looking forward to this. With any Mario Kart game, you need a few warm up races, so I started off the stream finishing in 11th place!

As the races go on, I started getting better and better and ended up adding 200 points to my VR. I was pretty happy about that.

I’m starting to gain a good number of regular viewers and they’re always entertaining to chat with. I really do hope that continues because it really makes broadcasting way more fun.

I also got to play with one of my viewers who was very knowledgeable in Mario Kart and played a few races including 200cc. It was mind boggling fast!

Here are some highlights of the evening:

I had the stream go completely offline. I pretty sure it was a fluke and it may be because of XSplit’s new updates. Other than that, things went smoothly

It’s Mario Time, but I’m stuck! Need More Stars!

Date: May 20th
Start time: 8pm CT
Game: Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

After a brief day off, we jumped back into Super Mario 3D World. Prior to the stream, I was reading my brand new coin collecting book, so it threw me off when it came to getting ready for the stream. The gameplay really showed because I stunk!

There was good conversation around what our hobbies are. One of my viewers collected video games so I showed him the Retron 5 and 99gamers.com.

One of my regulars asked how I got my start into streaming. It allowed me to go into good detail about it.

I learned a good protip today, make sure to unhost any channels before broadcasting. I basically locked out any desktop users from seeing my stream. Oops. I noticing some of my microphone levels spiking. It’s due to me being too loud. Something for me to keep in mind. I do apologize for your ears.

Woo! It’s good to be back. After a weekend of planning/hosting a LAN Party to hanging out with some pals watching WWE Payback. Coming back into the week with Super Mario 3D World. I had a good number of my regulars hang out and have a good time together. The following video really sums up my entire experience with Super Mario 3D World:

Landed at around 117 Stars which is a little short of the 130 stars to proceed with the next boss. It was a good night to be had! I’m also hammering out the details for my first Dual Stream with Crypt on PayDay 2. Details to come!
