Watching Casual Gamers

I’ve noticed something that strikes me as peculiar over the last few days.

I started streaming some games late night – the big ones that have drawn viewers have been Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana, although I still stream other games at times.

However, I’ve been watching other people play games from time to time when I’m just not in the mood to work on my own files, and what I’m discovering is that there are a lot of people streaming competitive play or top-tier playstyles or speedruns of classic games, but it’s very difficult to just find someone playing an older game of theirs that they haven’t mastered.

Streaming Games

Saate’s most recent post is pretty good, so I don’t want to take up too much space here. If you haven’t read it, go down one post and check it out.

However, I wanted to let you guys know that I’ll be streaming some emulators over the next few nights as I have time. You can find my channel at this website. I keep my emulators in windowed mode so I can see the chat box, and I keep my microphone plugged in for anyone who happens to pop in and start talking.

So if you want to chat for a bit and follow me along as I play SNES, Sega, NES, and maybe some N64 games if I can get my PS3 controller hooked up to my computer properly, check in each night around 11:45 PM or midnight, Pacific time. I’ll probably continue my playthrough of Super Mario World tonight – would love to hear from some of you guys!
