Let’s just finish the norks off in Homefront 2. [JP/EN]

What do now?
All of the archived recordings on my hard drives have been uploaded or otherwise made available. Honestly, I never would’ve expected to make it this far on the project. It’s honestly been a little over a half a year since I started doing the Saturday streams, and an even longer time than that since I started getting up the regular long form streams. Pretty huge project, but I think the current state of the archive is worth it.
I still have a decent amount to do, though, before I can really consider the archive as complete, or as complete as it can be. I have to add in a few streams that are in my schedule but the recordings are gone. I have to recheck against the schedule to ensure the calendar dates for streams are accurate, though that should be mostly accurate at this point. I’d also like to grab old chat logs (of which I don’t have any from before 2014 or so), then include those as subtitles on the appropriate videos. Plus, I’d like to eventually get the phone call segments up as their own little videos to show off what happened way back in the day when I allowed people to just call in. Lots to do, but I’ll get there eventually.
And that’s not at all including going back to streaming. I can vaguely see some time in my schedule opening up in the vaguely near future to stream again. I have Homefront 2 to finish (which is like, 1 or 2 streams depending on DLC), and then a whole ass list of other games I’ve started preparing. Things like a return to Deadly Premonition (this time with less crashes?), Demon’s Souls, F.E.A.R., Thief 2, and a few oddball options like the private server for Hellgate: London. Will I get to all these? Chances are low, but I think I’m going to at least be able to stream a bit more in the future here.
Anyway, that’s it from me for now. Hope to see you guys again sometime.
Saturday/Drunk stream archives are now complete
Several months ago I started on the journey of auditing through all of the drunk streams we’d done over the past decade+. Over 300 or so streams of varying lengths and qualities from all the way back in 2009 up to the present day. The average length of each of these streams was something like 4 hours, and some of them were even up to 8 hours or more in length. I watched through all of them in the background as I worked every night, making sure I don’t say anything too out of line or play music that’s copyright protected or whatever (this latter thing happened a lot). I got to basically relive my streaming history through all of that, and now you can too.
The entirety of my backlog of drunk/Saturday streams are now fully available (aside from the missing ones) for the first time in the archives. They’re all nicely tagged, and if you’re just looking for streams that feature you talking, for instance, you should be able to find them based on the tags. Or if you’re a Highwang fan you can always check the Highwang tag to see some of his earlier forays into the streaming world. You know, fun stuff like that.
Anyway, it’s just been a long time and I’m pretty pleased with the archive being this much closer to completion, so I thought I’d make a post about it. All that’s left is getting the various specials and some other miscellaneous streams up, and then the archive will be as complete as it possibly can be.
Cool stuff, thanks for reading.
Downtimes all done.
Site shouldn’t be going down anytime soon again, I say just before a downtime. What I mean to say is that any downtimes after this will likely be unplanned. That’s what I’m supposed to say, yeah.
2016 Saturday streams are done and in the archive.
We’re now into the final year of Saturday streams that hadn’t made it into the archive yet. Not too many in 2017, but they’ll all be in soon enough. I’m surprised how well a lot of these have held up, honestly. Sure, they aren’t always tasteful by today’s standards, or even back when they were streamed, but still.
Not done with Saturday streams yet, but…
I’ve prepped the 24 hour streams to go in pretty soon after that because why not. They won’t take nearly as thorough vetting to get them in, so should be able to write a bit up about them, throw in some game timestamps, and get them in pretty quickly after I’m done with the remaining Saturday streams.
Heads up for site downtime.
Going to be moving at the end of the month, so there will likely be a bit of downtime sometime March 31/April 1. Plan accordingly! And by that, I mean, just don’t watch archives around that time, I guess. Hopefully things get switched over at the new place quickly enough though.
And that wraps the 2015 Saturday streams.
My archives only have streams running into 2017 that haven’t been uploaded yet, so that’s two more years to go until I start working on getting the specials in. Still looking forward to getting all the 24 hour streams available. I had a lot of fun during those.
Just realized with the archive work I’ve been doing lately.
We’re long passed the point of previously archived streams before Viddler stopped functioning. Everything I’ve been getting up lately has only ever been seen once, the day it was streamed. Not expecting them to get too many views or anything, but it is nice that we’re getting it all out there again.
Down to around 60 more Saturday/Drunk streams to get into the archive.
Going to be strange to not listen in on them anymore once I finish that up. Been auditing them for the past few months, which means I’ve had them on in the background while I work every single day. It’s been nice to revisit, and some of them have been pretty fun still, which is nice.
