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.

Back to basics. It’s Mario Time!

Date: May 18th
Start time: 8pm CT
Game: Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

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!

I will be off on Tuesday, but I will be back for more Mario on Wednesday. See you then!

Some Great Sales happening at Humble Bundle!

Just a quick note that there are some great sales going on at the Humble Bundle Store. I just picked up a collection of Sonic games and Duke Nukem. Check it out! https://www.humblebundle.com/store

Due to How to Survive not being a great game, we are playing Kerbal Space Program tonight!

I’ll be partaking in a 1hr Space Race at a LAN Party tomorrow and I need practice!

How to Survive was horrible. We’re doing PayDay 2 instead!

Date: May 14th
Start time: 8pm CT
Game: How to Survive (PC) PayDay 2 (PC)

I was pumped. I was ready, ready to play How to Survive. I was looking forward to starting out a brand new game. After 20 minutes of gameplay, my chat and I were not feeling it… at all.

I had to quickly change games so I decided on PayDay 2 to try out the lifestyle as a bank robber. Thing went in a different direction.

Personally I felt the stream went south due to unexpected bad games. Lessons to learn here, screen your games, even if you want to have a vanilla experience. Also, PayDay 2 is a great game. Lastly, be careful when brewing your coffee. I used a smaller mug which requires less water. Because of that, I downed my coffee too fast and had a coffee headache towards the end of the stream. Wasn’t feeling hot at all.

I was able to play some PayDay 2 with Cryptometric and we’re looking to plan for a dual stream sometime next week. Looking forward to that.

I really loved how PayDay 2 looked with the frame rate at 540p. I’m debating if my microphone audio is needs an increase in levels, not too sure yet.
