While playing a game I do not like, I got Bean Boozled! 3 Times!

Last week, I did another reward redemption for Enderup! Geez, that guy is just raking in the coins. For those who don’t know, you can earn 1 coin every minute watching the stream and you use those coins to have me play games, like this one.

For me, this isn’t a reward. This game, Punch-out!! for the Wii brings out my inner salt. So you can imagine how I felt when I got Bean Boozled 3 times! This is another reward where I eat randomly chosen jelly beans. Instead of me explaining, just watch this!

If you play Splatoon or Smash, then this is a must have!

For those who are like me, that play Splatoon, you’ll understand what I’m talking about when I talk about the “A Communication Error Has Occurred.” error.

It was a HUGE pain on my side when it comes to playing a very competitive game and to get zero points from it, that’s a double whammy. Why does this happen? Typically, wireless isn’t very good for anything that requires a lot of transfer of data.

This includes Twitch Streaming, watching videos on YouTube/NetFlix/Hulu, and playing online multiplayer games. Will Wifi work well most of the time, absolutely! BUT! if you get a little bitter for the minor blip of a communication error or lag, then wireless is not for you.

With the suggestions of my chat, I got a USB ethernet adaptor:

Get it from Amazon ($10)

It’s a plug and play process. If you need instructions, you can have them here: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1668/~/how-to-connect-a-wii-lan-adapter-to-the-wii-u

After playing Splatoon with this thing installed made a world a difference. If the Wii U embraces more online game play, then having a stable Internet connection via wired connection become more important to be competitive, but also keeping you from being really salty.

This isn’t the best adaptor, but for $10, this is a good value for getting a stable Internet connection to your Wii U. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask me in the Twitch live stream or on Twitter.

If you ever wanted to see what SpeedRunners on my stream would be like…

Hey Guys,

Last week, we played a SpeedRunners, which was a reward redemption from Enderup! Let me save you all the hassle of watching the entire thing and see what it was like in a 2 minute video. For me, it’s quite sad, but for others, it’s a gem. Enjoy!

Guys guys guys guys! Don’t Starve is coming to the iPad!

For those who don’t know, Tin and Tin’s Girlfriend play Don’t Starve. Tin’s GF actually plays it a lot. With that said, I’m really excited to share the news that Don’t Starve is coming to the iPad!

You’re going to need a later version of the iPad, but if you have it, it’s at the low price of $5!

I’ve been streaming A LOT the last 3 days.

Hey Guys!

I wanted to write a quick post to call myself out on not being up to speed with the Twitch stream updates. Over the holiday weekend, I’ve literally been sleeping and streaming. To further provide proof, Since Friday, I’ve streamed 32 hours and 13 minutes of content. It is a lot harder than it looks and it was an experience!

The blog posts that will come out of this weekend are:

  • 13 Rewards, 13 Gambles with Beans
  • We will not let the terrorist win

I’m also going to be doing new blog posts to showcase fan art. I’ve already amass a collection of “creations.” Some are beautiful and others very exposing and not far from the truth. I look forward to this.

However, the highlight of the weekend is that added 40 new followers to our little community. I can’t say how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything that has come by and decided to hang out with everyone at the Tin Can.

This has allowed me to reach my 200+ Followers achievement and this was something I didn’t imagine happening, especially in a 3 month time period.

I just want to thank you all for everything you do for me. With out you all, this would not be possible. I hope to continue to keep my end of the bargain and give everyone the best I can offer to you all.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will talk to you all soon. :)
