For those of you who weren't present during the last one: I did a weekly show for about 3 months where I'd stream myself playing video games with commentary. People could join a chat room, and chat with fellow DTFers, and it was a great time.
So, I know I haven't done this kind of thing in a while, and it's mostly because I live at home. Luckily, I will be having most of Saturday to myself. So, my goal is to do a 12 hour gaming marathon/Q&A stream. I'll be giving you guys first crack at what games you'd like to see me play. Depending on how many requests I get, I might play each one for 30 minutes, an hour, or even possibly 2 hours.
I'd like for it to start around 3 PM or 4 PM in the afternoon, and ideally run until 3 AM or 4 AM Sunday morning. As long as people are there and watching, I will keep going. Note that this is likely going to be the only stream for quite a long time, and it is not to be missed.
So, request a game (or two, but put your first pick first), free your schedule, buy some nachos, and watch the return of Livestream of Consciousness. :D
CURRENT SCHEDULE:
2:30PM-3PM: Test Period, F-Zero.
3PM-4PM: Crash Bandicoot: Warped
4PM-5PM: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
5PM-6PM: Mega Man 9
6PM-7PM: Q&A While I Eat
7PM-8PM: Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse
8PM-9PM: Sonic 3 & Knuckles
9PM-10PM: Donkey Kong Country
10PM-11PM: Super Metroid
11PM-12AM: Rock Band 3, Guitar, Drums, and Keyboard
12AM-1AM: Mario Paint
1AM-2AM: Chrono Trigger
2AM-3AM: Pokemon Red

Yay, can't wait.
-
I might tune in if I have some time :tup. What platforms will you game on?
-
Anything between NES-PS1. GBA is also on the table.
Send some requests. Don't hesitate.
-
Super Metroid
100%
But another time. I'm busy on saturday :-\
-
A Link to the Past!
I don't know if and how long I will be able to tune it, but I will try to get a bit of time in if I don't forget.
-
This is going well into the night, PLM. You'll be gone ALL day?
-
DONKEY KONG COUNTRY!!!
-
Alright, as soon as I have enough games, I'll try to put up a schedule. This way, people can try to be there for their games. Vox, I know you're across the pond, so I'll try to go earlier for LTTP.
Any nightowls want to register for the 12 AM - 3 AM time slot?

Cool :tup.
-

Not all day. I'll be free around 9 or so, most likely
-
Goody then. If these end up being one hour segments, I'll set Super Metroid up for 10-11 EST.
-
Pick a game from my top 35 list. :angel: Preferably one you haven't played before to ensure maximum lolz.
-
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles!
-
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles!
Not guaranteeing this one. It might be too much for the recording software to handle.
-
Does this mean you're going to finish chrono trigger????
-
Does this mean you're going to finish chrono trigger????
-
I will be out during the day at a beer festival but may have to come home and watch when I'm drunk :metal
-
Does this mean you're going to finish chrono trigger????
Absolutely not. It means I'll play it for an unspecified amount of time if you request it though.
-
Braid
Play it, it's awesome
-
Mario Paint. Any Castelvania game you could possibly get a hold of.

SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT
-
:metal :metal :metal :metal
SOTN is easily the best Castelvania game ever, next to the DS games.
-
I might also have suggested Super Castlevania IV. I love that game
I don't know if Z has ever played a Castlevania game, but they are hands down some of the hardest games I've ever played
-
Yay. We all know how much I love difficulty. /sarcasm
Lat, when do you want to see Mario Paint/SOTN?
-

Really? Castlevania is pretty tough,but I think Mega Man is a way harder series.
I haven't played the SNES Castlevania though, only the NES, GBA, and N64 ones. :(
BUT YES PLAY CASTLEVANIA!!! Do the second one if you want to rage every time it transitions from day to night.
-
No fucking way. I'll take up your initial offer. :p
-
Sounds cool :tup
-
Request a game/time slot?
-
You said PS1, and I'd be on pretty late, so how about Diablo?
-
CRASH BANDICOOT THREE
-
Yay. We all know how much I love difficulty. /sarcasm
Lat, when do you want to see Mario Paint/SOTN?
Midnight Mario Paint would be pretty hilarious. You know, sleep deprivation and all. As for SOTN, 7pm sounds good.
-
This is Eastern time, so, for you that would be 9 PM for Mario Paint, and 4 PM for SOTN. That still okay?
-
Yeah, I took that into account. I should be there. I'm considering making plans for part of the day, but who knows if they will even happen.
-
I will be working Saturday, but will try to do my usual drive by visit.
-
OH MY GOD MARIO PAINT YESSSSS
I will so be home by 10 PM for that.
-
Still require more requests.
If by some chance I don't get enough requests, I'll be randomly populating the list with games of my choosing.
On the subject of Diablo/Symphony of the Night: My PS1 emulator is running very poorly with the stream. It looks like absolute garbage. If either of you would like to suggest a different game, you are welcome to. The only reason I can play Crash 3 is because I actually own that one, and can play it on the TV.
-
Are you only doing PS1 games?
-
Lord no. I'm doing anything I can possibly do.
-
Sonic 3?
-
Can/Will do.
What timeslot would you like?
-
Can/Will do.
What timeslot would you like?
8-9, please :)

I suggest either Super Castlevania IV. If you haven't played it yet, you should.
Or Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse for NES
-
How about CT for the 1AM slot so I can watch it after work :3
-
Deal, and Deal
-
Do a Pokemon game. Then anyone in the chatroom can come up with stupid and ridiculous names for your pokemon.
BUT JESUS CHRIST 12 HOURS IS A LONG TIME
-
That could be a good grand finale. Which game?
-
I would suggest Yellow, blue, or red but that's because those are the only ones I've ever had and it would be nostalgia. But I don't know how they rank on fans' list of pokemon games.
-
Yeah, I'd probably just do red or blue because those are the simplest ones.
-
Red it is. RESPECT THE CLASSICS.
Edit: Final schedule posted. :D
-
So how exactly will we tune in?
-
I'll be posting a link on Saturday.
-
:D :D
-
SO ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING PUMPED OR IS IT JUST ME?!
-
Unfortunately I'll be at a conference all day. Also, only a few games on the list interests me. lol.
-
Good thing it's going until 3 IN THE FUCKING MORNING.
-
Which is 4 pm in my timezone. Jerk.
-
Whoa. Where in the hell do you live?
-
Hong Kong :hat
-
Wow. No shit? Cool story, bro (seriously).
-
Thankfully, it's just temporary. Like, for the next 2 years.
-
Not bad. Not bad at all.
So, it starts at 4 AM. Wake up early. :p
-
Yep.
-
C'mon guys, let's get excited!
SHOW IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS! :dangerwillrobinson:
-

More like stay up late.
-
I have to work from 1-9 EST, so I should be around for the last few hours. Can't wait!
EDIT: Will you be hosting this on that website that you used to run it on?
-
C'mon guys, let's get excited!
SNOW IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS! :dangerwillrobinson:
How I read it :P
Looking forward to the show, though :metal

Yes.
-
My testing period starts in 2 hours. Anybody willing to come early and help iron out any problems?
-
I'm fucking pumped. I was disappointed because I steal my dad's neighbor's wifi because my dad's Verizon wifi doesn't work on my mac, and of course the neighbor forgot to pay the internet bill (which severely fucked up our plans to play Black Ops together :( ) So I'm using my dad's laptop and hopefully my stepmom won't need it too much today.
-
I'll be there for the testing. To the max.
-
I'll be coming in in a couple hours, gotta finish some work up first.
-
In how many hours does it start? Then it's easier for me to know when it is than calculating the time difference stuff.
-
One hour exactly. Testing starts in 30 minutes.
-
Click the link in the OP. The show will begin momentarily.
-
I'M ALREADY THERE
-
I'M ALREADY THERE
-
I'M AT WORK BUT I'M THERE IN SPIRIT
-
WHAT'S GOING ON :dangerwillrobinson:
-
wtf? i finally get online and you're not there?
-
Alright, I'm watching from an iPhone, so I can see it but I can't chat. I'll be home in a bit.
-

your not watching it while driving are you?!
-
I'm 15. Next year though....
-
I'm so pissed that my computer hates me.
-
No worries man, it was still awesome while it was running.
That and I think I'm full educated on every phone and service verizon has to offer.
-
:(
Oh well, I guess this gives me more time to finish the shitload of school work I have to finish this weekend. :lol
-
So, I have a new computer now that isn't a steaming pile of goat shit. We're going to finish this shit at some point.
-
Excellent.
-
I will finally be able to sleep properly when you finish Chrono Trigger.
-
CASTLEVANIA
-
A Link to the Past: REVISITED!
-
I don't care as long as I can watch it and criticize your technique
-
I'll have to run some type of test beforehand, but if everything works, I'd say a weekly show is definitely in the cards again.
-
yeeeeee

So do you think your old computer is learning how to run whatever new roms you've downloaded since it "left"...ya know just in case you and the new computer were to go your separate ways and you were to reunite with the old computer maybe 5 or 10 years down the road?

I will never use that computer again. That would be like getting back together with a girlfriend from middle school.

:lol
Actually I was referencing the MP/Mangini debates from DT-side.
-
Show tonight at 10 PM EST. I'm going through and hitting the games that I never got a chance to do during the stream. Castlevania 3's up first. COME WATCH FOR SOME REALLY AWESOME SURPRISES
-
Will there be punch and pie?
-
well I may be able to catch an hour to an hour and a half of it. Unfortunately I have school tommorow.
-
I'm in a similar spot but I'll be missing the beginning rather than the ending since I have band practice. What time are you doing this until UBBH er UMH er dude?

Unless I can transfer saves from my old computer, no way.
-
I forgot I have things to do tonight. Show's postponed until tomorrow.

Saves for SNES9x can be moved around because they're individual files, so as long as that computer is still functional, yes, you can do that.
-
Show in 3 hours. Castlevania 3 will be played until I get tired of it. I will also take requests as long as the games listed are not in the OP.
-
I'll suggest a quick five games; hopefully you'll like at least one:
Super Mario Bros. (NES)
all 4 others are obviously SNES
Clay Fighter
Earthworm Jim
Shaq F...fuck I can't even make that joke
Killer Instinct
NBA JAM TE
-
Show in about an hour. Who else is xoming?
-
I don't know if watching you not play CT is worth me not playing Digital Devil Saga :3
-
It's definitely worth it. I'll be failing a lot.
-
Show starting now! https://www.livestream.com/umhsgamestreamextraordinaire?t=920767
-
Alright, so I got decently far through Castelvania 3, and ended up playing an IWBTG rip-off called I Wanna Be the Shrine Maiden. The recordings should be up on the site if you want to watch how everything went down. It was quite brutal and I raged quite hard.
-
I will stop pestering you about CT if you play Shrine Maiden again next week, because that was hilarious.
-
I'm almost tempted to say yes to that, which is fucking terrifying.
