Hi Gals and Pals,

This week is going to be a pretty interesting week because first off, I will not be streaming this coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. My time will be spent in San Antonio, TX for PAX South. With that said, we are trying something very new for the channel and that is introducing Guest Hosts. These fine folks will be filling my void and providing you guys with great gaming content.

I’m happy to share that LightFootViolet, Spialz, and dadotjadot will be taking over the broadcast for this coming weekend. But before we go into those details, I AM still streaming 4 days this week.

Monday and Tuesday marks our return back to the Sims 4 world. Business is going well, the kids are doing great, and we have 2 trains! These two streams will focus on improving the house and maybe the business as well. There’s no place like gnome!

Wednesday, we will be continuing our gameplay of Spore. I’m really excited again to play this and I’m glad that this game is resurfacing from it’s original release from 2008. We are in the tribal stages so we are going to be making peace and war with other tribes.

Rounding out my streaming week on Thursday will be Splatoon! This is often requested and rightfully so. It’s a fun game. I will be playing with viewers in Turf Wars so feel free to add my NNID: tinner10tin and join in on the splatage.

As I depart to go to PAX, LightFootViolet will be streaming on my channel this Friday. She is a long time viewer, moderator and friend of mine. She has great humor and is awesome to watch.

Saturday will be featuring Spialz, who is actually pretty new to streaming on Twitch. His attention to detail and his commentary is very chill and insightful when it comes to making progress in a game.

Finally, on Sunday, our very own Dad (dadotjadot) will be broadcasting on the channel. With a lot of work and encouragement (really, it’s just me pestering him) Dad has been ramping up his channel to start streaming on a regular basis. He’s often hilarious to speak to and I’m truthfully excited for him to be able to share that humor to you all.

Please do me a solid and follower these streamers and come on out and support them as they take the time out of their days to broadcast to y’all. See you soon and have a great week!

Hey Gals and Pal,

Another week has past and I’m not a millionaire. We have made quite a few new gal and pal friends with the addition of the We Are Family stream team and the 77 new Followers we got last week. For those who are just joining us, welcome!

This week’s schedule will start of with the Sims 4 on Monday and Tuesday. Aging is turned on, we will see how the Richman family evolves as the new generation eventually takes over.

Thursday is our continuation of Spore. After a failure of a stream last week (the game crash and in 2008, autosave is not a thing) we pick up where we sorta left off in our journey to make the Dingus species a mainstay.

Friday marks the return of Super Mario Maker! I’ll be sure to play viewer submitted levels and we’ll see how many of them I do not finish. Yes, it’s going to be a disaster, but it should be fun! Right?

Saturday is the debut of Choice Chamber. I’ve heard so many good things about this game and as our Community Day stream of the week, I hope that you guys get some fun out of it as well.

I have to say, Mitos.is has a huge success and it’s definitely something we will playing again soon. We barely scratched the surface on the game modes we can play with it.

Finally, on Sunday, we making a slight shift of our Animal Crossing tradition and we will be playing Happy Home Designer this week. It has been some time and you guys have been asking to see this game again. I look forward to another great week with you gals and pals.

Hi Gals and Pals,

One of the things I talk about to my friends is about my Twitch stream. It’s not for the purposes of trying to advertise or get people to join the stream. The reason I talk about my stream is about the great community that we have. We have a community that is friendly, smart, and considerate. These are the things I look for in my own friends. You guys give me a lot to admire and that has caught the eye of others.

Because of all of you, I have been invited and accepted a spot on the We are Family stream team. The team itself focuses on featuring Twitch streams that are family friendly. As you know, we try to be considerate for those who are here watching the stream. We as a community do what we can to keep ourselves from being foul and steer the stream to what is genuinely fun.

With the addition of being in the team, you’ll likely see exploring other streams on the team and making new friends. The way we handle ourselves will not change so don’t think the team affiliation will change what we are today.

It’s a proud moment for us as this mean we have something going well for us. Thank you again for your support!

Hi everyone!

It’s still weird to say it’s 2016. Is it weird for you? We all know what’s top of mind for everyone. Freaking Powerball and it’s 1.3 Billion dollar* jackpot. Best of luck to everyone on that! We all need it ;)

This week’s schedule has a little bit of old and new.

Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday will be our mainstay game, The Sims 4. I have completely lost count of the number of children we have, but we have rooms and flooring so things are looking more normal for Tinner Richman.

I will be taking off Wednesday to spend some time with my Geek. We’ll be doing some movie night of sorts. It’s also her turn to choose.

Friday will be the debut of Spore, one of the most hyped and disappointing games of all time. Just typing the word debut felt weird. It’s certainly a word that doesn’t spell how it sounds. I look at it and see DE BUTT. Anyways, Spore should be a lot of fun, and for many of you, a good first experience.

Community Night! Day! stream of Mitos.is will be this coming Saturday at 1pm Central. This is a clone of Agar.io, but with less botting and more game mods. I’ve been playing this with some of the gals and pal on Discord and we have a lot of fun. The game is free and takes any computer to run. You will need Steam to get this installed, Please join in on the fun here.

This Sunday’s ACNL stream will be at it’s same bat time and same bat channel. A whole lot of the same that you come to love and enjoy.

I hope that you all have a great week and I hope to see you soon. :)

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to give you guys some insight on some of the things we are doing for 2016.

But, let’s review 2015:

We started the stream in April 2015 and since then broadcasted 600 hours of content. From those hours, I personally consumed 39 chili peppers from our garden and 252 Beanboozle Jelly Beans.

Outside of gluttony, we also help raised $1,240 for charity.

What to expect in 2016

Mission Statement

I wanted to debut a Mission Statement for the channel. The purpose of the Mission Statement is to establish who we are and what we aim to do:

We are a community of passionate gamers of different skill levels and experience. With our passions, we build meaningful relationships and bonds with the intention of being the best we can be. We are a here to build a space that is welcoming, friendly, and something we can call home.

I will often look to our Mission Statement to ensure we grow the channel and our community with the best ideals in mind.

Revlo, refreshed.

I have mentioned towards the end of 2015, that we would be completely rebooting the Revlo reward system. The first thing I wanted to start with is the why. Why are we doing this?

We want to get back to roots of what makes this channel special, which is the people we interact each and every stream. We will still embrace our love for gambling and coins, but the goal here to ensure that we create a healthy chat for the next wave of people to join in on the fun.

With that in mind, here is how Revlo is going to work in the coming year:

• You will earn 1 coin every 5 minutes when the channel is live.
• You will be able to gamble once every 10 minutes.
  • Gambling minimum is 10 coins and the maximum is 50 coins.

Revlo Rewards:

• Beanboozle Tin – 100 coins
• Cancel Beanboozle – 125 coins
• *New* Coin Transfer – 125 coins
• *New* 5 Boombox Tokens – 500 coins
• Hot Pepper – 500 coins
• Free Game #1 – 500 coins
• Free Game #2 – 500 coins
• Free Game #3 – 500 coins
• Cancel Hot Pepper – 600 coins
• Access to Discord – 1000 coins
• *New* HOT HOT HOT – 1500 coins

For the rewards, you will see some new additions. We have create a reward to give you the ability to transfer your coins to another person. The exchange rate is 125 coins to transfer 100 coins. This is intentional in attempt to keep things fair. The other new reward is the introduction of Boombox Tokens. These tokens will allow you to use a list of commands that will play often loud sound effects on the live stream. They can be used to boo or cheer me, and mostly to troll me.

We also made some adjustments to some of our existing rewards. With the ever so popular Hot Pepper, we have divided it to 2 different rewards, one for normal peppers and one for speciality peppers. Speciality peppers would fall under the category of Habanero or Ghost Pepper.

We have also increase the number of free games available to 3 and we made all games the same cost. This is to make games more accessible and giving you guys more choices.

Here are some of the other things we are doing:

Community Night

This coming year, we will be introducing a weekly Community Night. This is a dedicated stream to play with viewers. We have done this in the past, but I want this to become a mainstay of our channel. You will have a chance to choose and suggest what games we play.

Movie and Board Game Nights on Discord

We will be starting Movie and Board Game nights on Discord. This will be organized and done within our Discord channel.

YouTube

I will be showing love to my YouTube channel with Let’s Plays. These will mostly be of games I’m testing out to see if they are good for the stream or games that I just want to play through solo.

Rebrand

We will be rebranding the channel sometime in 2016. It will keep the same theme of Space, but looking to give it a much needed refresh.

Overall, the goals for 2016 is to continue on the great community we have today and taking it to the next level. A lot of work and time is spent to make our little place on Twitch the way it is today, so be sure to thank your fellow Tin Can moderator for the work they do for us. Thank you guys for a great 2015, and I hope for a great 2016!
