Making a lot of progress on getting Saturday archives up.

As of this post, there are 174 more Saturday/Drunk streams still to go through and get added to the archive. I also have about 98 specials (like birthdays and other one-offs including 24 hour streams), and then another 24 unsorted streams that I need to parse through and see what to do with them. It may seem like a lot, but I’m making it through.

And now Mastodon works

So, looks like I’ve got Mastodon integration working nicely now. That’s nice. Now if you want to follow posts from this site on Mastodon/Friendica/whatever federated thing you use, you can just follow me here:

@kuoushi

So anytime this site gets updated with a new post or video or whatever, you’ll get a great little notification automatically in your feeds there.

Been a while, hello again

So it’s obviously been a number of months since kuoushi’s last stream, as well as since the last time an update has been posted here on the old blog. Time to remedy that a bit with a small update!

Basically, had a second kid so that slowed everything down. Just think of Vin Diesel saying family a few times and you’re on the same page.

With that news now out of the way, on to site related stuff!

Drunk Streams Returning to the Archive!

Ever since the fall of Viddler, drunk streams haven’t been something we could go back and re-watch for a long time. I’m remedying that now, but I have to watch through each drunk stream before getting it into the archive and some of these are absolutely rough. They will be offensive, and they probably won’t be that entertaining by my current lofty standards of comedy even. I mostly only suggest them as an educational look back into what awful people we were back in the day. Or at least me, I was pretty stupid.

Don’t worry, though, the more modern drunk streams with a much higher standard of humor will come in eventually. I just chose to start at the beginning and work my way up from there. There are like 430 or so different drunk or Saturday streams, so it’s a lot to get through. Aside from the RoboCop stream anyway. I put that one in the archive in its entirety with no cuts whatsoever. Still the most effort stream I’ve ever done, which is saying a lot about the quality of the rest of my streams.

After drunk streams, I’ll move on to getting things like the various specials and birthday streams up, though I might make an exception and go through to get a number of the 24 hour streams up sooner rather than later for no real reason other than to put them up.

A Return to Streaming and Doing it Live?

Uncertain when at this point, but it’s still a thing I’m wanting to do. I’d like to get a schedule back up and going, but with two kids that’ll be a bit tough. It’s on my radar, as always. Don’t give up too much hope. Or do, I’m not your dad.

Homefront returns, and another huge archive update

If the latest streams section on this website hasn’t clued you in yet, or the cool new stream calendar that I’ve put in hasn’t caught your attention yet, you may not have realized that we’ve started up our next set of streams to follow Alice: Madness Returns — Homefront: The Revolution. I have a rocky relationship with the Homefront series, stemming from the first game blocking all of my in-game progress with a waist-high barrier that I couldn’t get across during a drunk stream a long ways back, and then subsequently just simply jumping over said barrier a few years later and beating the game. So, playing the sequel to that will surely go well and I won’t have to worry about it being a buggy mess, right? Right.

Catch up on those Homefront: The Revolution streams in the archive, and maybe even join us live one of these days, or nights, or any of the other irregular times that I stream.

Now, with that out of the way, the real announcement for this post is that I have finally completed a significant amount of streams in the archive, and they’re all available now. Basically, every single longform stream that we’ve done over the years, from 2009 all the way to today, is now available in VOD form. This doesn’t yet include any of our drunk, Saturday, or otherwise special streams like the 24 hour ones, but it is a really cool significant milestone as it does cover the majority of our playthroughs over the years.

Here’s a few of the more recently added streams to the archive: Thief, Suikoden II, Breath of Fire 2, Chrono Trigger (even though the audio desyncs), Clock Tower 3, Deadpool, and a bunch of other odds and ends and games.

Honestly, it’s a lot of streams, and shit I’ve been doing this for a while. It’s been neat for me to at least vaguely revisit all of these streams and see what a dick I’ve always been. Hopefully they’re still enjoyable as entertainment to anyone who happens to go through them, and not just for my own personal entertainment from a historical (meaning, historical for me but not so much for the world) standpoint.

Thanks for all the times, ladies and gents. I’ll keep streaming, but it’s certainly been a long time from the beginning to now. Oh, and Happy New Year, I guess?

Alice’s Madness has finally Returned, and other good post titles

Well, not really any other good titles, I just suck at them.

Anyway, we’ve wrapped up our Alice: Madness Returns streams, and boy is it a video game! You walk forward, sometimes jump, sometimes stab, and sometimes pull levers/push buttons. Also, the game tells you exactly what to do at every given point, except on the last boss battle kind of. So that’s basically the only time you ever really “play a game”. The only thing here is a surface-level visual-cool, which is admittedly cool but that’s it. If you’re into that and listening to kuoushi complain about it, have a small scroll below to see all of the streams.

Alice: Madness Returns Stream Archives


There have also been a lot of archive updates happening in the background. Haven’t been specifically posting about them, but keep your eyes on there and you’ll start seeing things pop in. We’re actually getting closer to finishing up all of the main stream archives and will be moving on to full drunk and Saturday streams soon enough, so that should be pretty exciting for people. I think drunk streams were the ones people had the most fun during.

We’ll see what game we work on next though. Who knows what it’ll be.
