Thursday 8PT/11ET Random play! Maybe something new, maybe something big, maybe something I'm just really into that night. WHO KNOWS! Saturday 8PT/11ET Indie showcase. Dive into something new, small, and cool that you may not have heard of before. Occasional random streams when I'm really into a game as well!

My name's Mike. You could probably guess that. I rather love the wide world of gaming, especially the indie scene, and you'll find my twitch stream tends to focus on that side of the industry. Base builders are favorites of mine, but I try all kinds of games, often playing their first hour so people who haven't seen them can check them out. Hopefully it gives the games some exposure as well. I tend to announce my streams on Twitter, so keep an eye there if you want to see what's coming up. Also, please keep chat polite and kind. I (and my mods) have very low tolerance for mean or rude behavior. We keep it chill, here. Not "Netflix and chill," however, as I believe Twitch frowns on that sort of thing. I mean, on their broadcasts. I'm sure the folks at Twitch are cool with it otherwise.

A huge thanks to Kessel Run for the various screens, buttons, and that kick ass gamer coat of arms. She streams at twitch.tv/kessel_runs . Highly recommended channel for sass, games and art, in that order. Also, the regulars who have been with this channel for some time now are amazing folks who keep it cool, classy and in many cases, full of terribly-amazing puns. Thanks for sticking with me.
