I volunteered to pick up a Saturday shift at work. I was thinking how cool it would be to stream a playthrough of Wolfenstein: The New Order and maybe some COD2 if there's time left. I've been on a World War 2 kick ever since I realized I can watch Band of Brothers ANY TIME I WANT* now.
*This is actually all the time.
We try to keep things to an older cant (name of the channel/stream is Retro Run afterall) but twenty four hours is a LOT of time. Like... a lot. We ended up breaking down last year and playing some of the Payday2 Halloween event on stream and some spooky multiplayer game in the dead of night. It's the late hours that are the hardest, especially since we're usually passing the 18 hour mark at that point.
I'm anxious to talk about it because it's so effing soon. I drive up there Friday after work to set up the Command Center (re: living room). It's soon. So soon!
Ah, I was thinking of my own channel in this instance. I've been working on getting my own streaming thing going once I have the time. But since I can't participate this year, I'll donate some money. This is an annual drive, right?
Streaming is fun! I don't have the set-up for it myself most of the time but it's fun to interact with folks. Let me know if/when you get set up!
This is an annual thing. If you follow the #extralife hashtag you'll see a lot of dialogue on twitter. A LOT of people do this, and since it's a nation/worldwide thing it means there's basically people streaming goofy stuff for a long, long time. It's year 3 for us and we're hoping to break our goal this time, not just meet it (previous years were generous folks seeing how close we were at the end and making it rain ON THE CHILDRENDS because gamers, yo).
That's why we had the idea to just sort of sell blocks of time. Throw us some internetbucks? What do you want to see? We intend on sort of taking requests if anyone's got them, as long as they're within reason. So far all of the stuff we've done has been the kind of games we grew up with, treasured classics, overlooked goodies and sometimes the just exceedingly awful.
