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.

 

  • Super Mario (current: Odyssey)

  • 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 currently on weekdays.

 

  • The Legend of Zelda (current: Ocarina of Time 3D: Master Quest)

  • Pokemon
  • Wonder Boy
  • Xenoblade (on deck: X Definitive Edition)

Poll Games:

A set of games selected by viewer poll. I try to run entire series before moving to the next.

This set is currently on Saturdays.

 

  • Final Fantasy (current: Romancing SaGa 2)
  • Metroid (on deck: Zero Mission)

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 Choice series: model building
  • First Saturday monthly: Hollow Knight Randomizer

 

TO THE TOP!

 

Final Fantasy XIII - https://youtu.be/0GhJVnUiy-s

 

Was that really a fal'Cie? It seemed kind of easy.

 

I'm pretty sure that Fang and Vanille referred to the boss of the tower as a fal'Cie, but it didn't act like Barthandelis at all. And it didn't have a recognizable name like Atomos. I mean, I guess it could have been, but… I guess the training I did with the missions was more helpful than I thought? I even got game overs against the basic encounters in the tower…

 

Thinking about it, the term "Game Over" isn't exactly accurate, is it? It was when introduced, in arcades: if you didn't pay up for a continue, you had to start over again. Your play of the game was, in fact, over. But in modern games like Final Fantasy XIII, you just rewind to before the combat or something like that, and keep going. In a way, that's something that Bloodborne and the like does right: the text is "You Died." It's accurate to what actually happened in the game. The only time that "Game Over" is really accurate anymore is when you're doing something like Steel Soul Mode (in Hollow Knight) or One Life Difficulty (in Ori and the Blind Forest). Maybe I should come up with some other, more accurate text to put on my counter. For future games, I guess. I try to stay consistent within a playthrough.

 

And for the missions, I don't think I'll be doing them all unless the upgraded weapon introduces a serious power improvement. And I get someone with a little more party survivability in here. Snow is great at keeping himself alive—and drawing aggro—but with no defensive buffs, the party still dies pretty quickly. And I have no idea what to do about the Gigantuar's 10,000 Needles attack. There's no way to get anyone's health that high, and you can't revive as quickly as it can attack twice. I'll still do as many as I can, but don't expect this to be a 100% playthrough.
