Yep, I finally decided to join the modern era. To join my Discord server, click the image above! Open to anyone, and you can use it to find games for CTWW, Countdown, item Rain or simply have a chat or spew memes, if that's what you're in to. Subs will also get access to an exclusive chat in the Discord where I may post exclusive news or other updates, and early access to CTGP feature updates!

Currently as a bonus for subscribing to my Twitch channel, you can get access to a beta test for the 24 player mode update coming to CTGP! If you have subscribed already and want to get involved, check out the link below to get access! If you haven't subscribed, you can check out information about the beta at the same link! https://chadsoft.co.uk/ctgp_bot/ If ever you need any help, do feel free to ask at the Discord server (which can be found in one of the other panels!) or in the chatbox if I'm streaming!

###What? You're playing Wii games online? Yes indeedy. If you're interested in how, go here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFtklrXY9M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqFtklrXY9M) ###Mario Kart 8: Q: Why are you playing this game? A: I honestly don't know. Q: Is it really as bad as you're making out? A: Yes. Q: When will there be custom tracks on MK8? A: Lol. ###Mario Kart Wii: Q: Why aren't you playing Mario Kart Wii? A: Because I'm playing something else. Q: Why are you playing something else? A: Because it's probably enjoyable. Q: Then why are you groaning so loudly? A: That's not me. Your ears are lying to you. Q: Can you add me? A: I don't need to, I have something called OpenHost enabled on my license. If you add me (4168-2589-4256) you should be able to join my games without me needing to add you. Q: When's CTGP update coming out? A: When it is ready. ###Crash Bandicoot 2: Q: Why do you reset so much? A: Because this game is difficult and I hate lame openings :P Q: What's the best time for 100%? A: Check http://www.speedrun.com/crash2#100. It'll probably also be on the stream itself somewhere. Q: Why don't you do any%? A: The category is not very appealing. 100% is way more interesting. Q: Are you going to speedrun the remasters? A: Sure, if they're good, and also if I can afford a PS4. Q: Why did you throw yourself into a hole? A: Either because I'm an idiot, or because I wanted to go back to the last checkpoint and dying happens to faster than going there on foot. Q: You missed boxes but got the gem! You're cheating!! A: No, I probably used the box duping glitch to trick the game into thinking I have more boxes than I really do. Q: Why don't you pick up the apples? A: I don't need them. Q: Is Tiny really the hardest level? A: Yes. Q: How did you get the red gem? A: Crash 2 features a slightly buggy jumping mechanic where you can jump higher than the developers intended. Q: Why do you unlock secret entrances when you don't need them? A: They add 1% for each one. Without them, I can't get 100%. Q: How do you move so fast? A: The movement I use is called the neutral slide spin. To do it: Slide in the direction you want to go. Before slide ends, release d-pad button or analog stick. Then press spin. You will move at roughly 1.8x Crash's running speed. But beware of your hitbox! Q: Can you add me on Mario Kart Wii? A: No.

Any and all funds raised will go towards the cost of the CTGP-R server, and improvements to hardware for better stream quality! ###Many thanks :) Donations and their comments made via the above link will be read aloud on stream by an automated voice, courtesy of StreamLabs. If you don't want your name shown on stream (or want an alternate name shown), or you don't want your comment read out, there is an alternate donate button at our website (http://www.chadsoft.co.uk) which is more anonymous. If I miss a donation as it happens and fail to give thanks using my voice, I deeply apologise. Since I'm often so focused on the game trying to get the gameplay right, I miss a lot of chat messages and emails. But please know that I am always extremely grateful when I discover them later on!

I recently got partnership here on Twitch! If you would like to support the stream by subscribing, please go right ahead, it will be much appreciated! You'll get a fabulous CTGP Countdown Axe next to your name in the chatbox if you do, and get access to all the emotes shown above! Twitch operates a policy where the more subs you have, the more emotes you can have, so more can be added in future! What the emotes mean: mrbeanAxe = 10 out of 10 emote. mrbeanBipolar = 20 second time loss. mrbeanHi = Greetings! Or, Chadderz, why are you pointing that camera at my legs? mrbeanChadderZ = My younger brother, clearly looking intelligent. Special thanks to Chadderz for designing the mrbeanAxe, mrbeanHi and mrbeanChadderZ emotes, and special thanks to Camewel for mrbeanBipolar!

####Next attempt: No date yet! Keep checking back! A new thing that I've started streaming recently: a challenge to see how far into a 250 race friend room on CTGP we can get! The room can't be reset, therefore the players must try to stick from the very beginning for the full race session, making it a very interesting challenge. Happening every now and again when I have a lot of time free. ###Best race count: 250 / 250 completed races! ###Run history: 31st October 2015 - 105/250. Room ended when an Internet dip in Race 106 disconnected the host. Duration 7:21:40. 6th November 2015 - 36/250. Room ended when an Internet dip in Race 37 disconnected the host. Duration 2:45:25. 7th November 2015 - 36/250. Room ended when the host randomly disconnected during Race 37, presumably due to a toxic player. Duration: 2:36:10. 8th November 2015 - 96/250. Room ended when everyone simultaneously disconnected during the voting for the next track. Duration: 6:52:49 14th November 2015 - 188/250. Room ended when the host randomly disconnected during Race 189, for reasons unclear! Duration: 11:53:34 21st November 2015 - 60/250. Room ended when everyone disconnected between races. Duration: 4:14:23 28th November 2015 - 159/250. Room ended when the remaining two players both had a FTW DC. Duration: 10:01:39 2nd April 2016 - 184/250. Room ended when the remaining four players all had a FTW DC during race 185. Duration: 12:06:24 17th February 2017 - 250/250. Successful attempt on target! Final racers were MrBean35000vr (1st, 2423), CaptainToad67867 (2nd, 1866) and xStunky (3rd, 1596)! Duration: 16:29:43
