Schedule

Panel Content
Right now I am playing two games on the stream: Pokemon LeafGreen and HeartGold editions. I stream two days a week, starting at 1 pm until 4 pm Eastern Standard Time each of those days. + Tuesday I play Pokemon HeartGold + Thursday I play Pokemon LeafGreen I don't plan on changing my days or time slots, but these games will of course update as I finish playing them. If for any reason my stream starts a bit late, I will still do my best to stream for 3 hours. If you see any past VODs listed as less than 3 hours, then I likely had a technical issue and restarted the stream to keep things looking fresh and easy to find on the Videos page.

Okay But Who Are You?

Panel Content
I’ll be turning 29 this year so there’s too much to say in a short bio, but the fast version is that I have a passion for gaming and making things. I’ve made videos on YouTube for years, most of which are now private, and even plan to move my VODs over to there once the streams end. Gaming though has always been a constant in my life ever since I picked up my first N64 controller and I always found myself looking for new worlds to explore. I’m hoping to share some of my quirky self with anyone looking for some laughs as I run through my favorite games and that maybe we can all just have a good time. :)

Streamer Type

First I want to thank anyone who is actually reading this for showing an interest in what I plan on putting out on Twitch. I have a deep love of Zelda titles, especially Windwaker (I know it really split the audience) and Breath of the Wild. I hope to play through BotW and learn a few of the more advanced tricks of the trade on stream so we can all laugh at the failed attempts together, and maybe catch some of my reactions when I *finally* succeed at something strange. To keep things fresh I will be playing a few of the other Zelda titles I've enjoyed as well as some of my favorite Mario Titles, most recently Mario Oddysey, considering I'll be streaming with my Switch more often than anything else. With all of that said, however, I am certainly interested in streaming just about anything. Final Fantasy games have been some of my favorites since the Playstation 2, and Tetris Plus on the PS1 has been seared into my brain. But let's not forget some Nintendo Classics, like Pokemon Yellow and the like as well. So if there's something you'd be interested in seeing and I can find a way to pull it off, I just might stream it too!

Chat Rules

Panel Content
**BE NICE** - This should go without saying, but we're here to hang out and chat while I play games and play them terribly. We're going to laugh at my fails and cheer at the occasional triumph, but there's no need to be nasty in chat. **SPAM BELONGS ON A SANDWICH** - I said it; you know it. Spam is for sandwiches, not reading or writing. I get it, we've got a lot to say. I don't think long messages are a bad thing, but if I somehow miss a message please don't take it personally because I don't mean it as such. I'm *very* new to streaming, and only want to make people feel welcome. So feel free to get excited and tell me the cool (non-spoiler) thing about the game, because I'd love to hear it, just please don't spam the chat. **EXTREME PROFANITY** - I am a previous US Service member so I have nothing against swearing and the like. I do not, however, condone hate speech in any way. Keep that out of the chat because you will be removed with haste. I aim to build a positive environment where people can enjoy games and one another's company, not fear slander and worse. **LINKS** - Not always a bad thing, but as a precaution against anything improper or nefarious, I have my bot moderator set to delete any message that contains a link so just save yourself the hassle of even trying to send one. **HAVE FUN** - I'm joining Twitch because I've had a lot of fun watching streamers of all kinds. I hope that you can enjoy my sense of humor and that I can get comfortable sharing it with you all. More than anything I look forward to getting to hang out with anyone looking to enjoy the highs and lows of gaming and the stories we might share along the way!
