The_Nametag
Who am I? I'm just a guy who loves games. Particularly older games, that are hard to come by, or less widely known. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm very good at them, or that all the games are particularly good themselves.
Updates
Situation normal.
Standard Schedule:
Friday - Tuesday, 1 PM - 3 PM Eastern
(Yes, it's an unusual schedule. Weds and Thurs off.)
[Discord link!](https://discord.gg/7p7V8vAS9Z)
Testing a new Discord channel. Don't expect much from it, as I don't really like to use Discord. But it could be a good place for announcements and the like.
Humble Bundle!
I am a big fan of Humble Bundle and the work that they do. Donations to charity, a good selection of games, and despite my earlier misgivings it seems that partnering with IGN has helped them get even better quality titles available.
As such, I will be having the Humble Bundle Partner mark in the corner of future videos (that are available on Humble Bundle), as well as having this link here. And - when appropriate - I will provide links to Humble Bundle for the current game. The charity of choice for my link is [The Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://www.eff.org/) to fight for freedoms online.
Current game:
Corvette (PS2)
[Humble Bundle Choice](https://www.humblebundle.com/subscription?partner=nametag&charity=8443)
April 2024: Victoria 3, The Callisto Protocol, Humankind: Definitive Edition, Fashion Police Squad, Terraformers, Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga, Coromon, The Excavation of Hob's Borrow.
Archipelago - Multiworld Multi-Game Randomizer
Something I've come across lately, something that's drawing me back into the realm of randomizers, is [Archipelago](https://archipelago.gg). The concept is simple. Whereas one randomizer mixes up the items (and sometimes more) around within one game, Archipelago can take a bunch of different players, playing different games, and mix them all together. So, one person can be playing Final Fantasy, someone else can be playing Super Metroid, someone else an be playing Doom, and all of their items are spread between all three games.
And it is amazing.
The fact that Doom is involved is what drew my attention right away. It works a lot better than I was expecting. Those who've been around my channel for a while may remember when I did Final Fantasy Randomizer content including several of their weekly challenge seeds. It had been a long time since I gave that randomizer a try, and wow the added features. One of which is Archipelago support! So there's another game to play. I'm going to be working on getting a few of these set up to run, and playing them with some friends. Hopefully i can get a lot of these runs going.
Infinite Doom
There's a ton of Doom mods out there, beyond just levels. Mods that change the way the game looks, sounds, plays, mods that keep track of things, mods that show how good (or bad) you are, or just mods for simple utility. And as for the levels? Well, there's far too many out there to count, let alone play. But sometimes I just get in the mood to play Doom. And sometimes I can't wait until there's a good time in my main game slots to play them. So that brings us to Infinite Doom, a side stream I can do whenever I like and run through some of the many, many, MANY mods out there. I won't even come close to playing them all, but I will attempt to keep track of everything I do play here.
If a mod is used more than once it will only be listed the first time it's used, in order to save space.
