last year i really wanted to stream d2 around halloween, since i'd bought it probably around 2010 and only played a little at the beginning. but i hadn't really gotten into the groove of streaming at all.
this year i still don't have a real capture card setup, but since i've started streaming a bit closer to "regularly" i started thinking about all these other games i thought would be fun to check out in the season. (and i imagine if i do find time and want to throw that in there, it oughta work on flycast or something, surely...) horror games are something i really have very little experience in since it's a genre that didn't appeal to me much when i was younger, and there's a few other kinda spooky games i remembered hearing about back on the ps2 but never played...compared to outright classics i know i want to check out like resi 1 and 2 they didn't get great reviews or a strong recommendation from people i knew, but these days i'm too curious. haha
anyway, i already know i don't stream often/long enough to finish like a dozen games on stream in five weeks, even if i up my output (which i hope to) and they're all shorter than the rpgs and stuff i've been mostly streaming this year. plus this isn't my job or anything. i'm just gonna do some streams and see what i get through, and if i want to keep playing some stuff into november that's not the worst thing ever either
i'm hoping to kick off tonight for a while, probably around 19 mdt or so (8-9 hours from now). though the exact schedule will probably depend on things like "whether or not my girlfriend plays neverwinter nights all night" which is currently unpredictable.
i think i want to start with castlevania: lament of innocence, though the other Action game that's been on my mind for starters is blood will tell, a game based on the story of the manga "dororo" by osamu tezuka. most of the main character's body was stolen by demons when he was born so he has swords in his arms and a gun in his legs and fights the demons to get various parts back. i read about this game in a magazine 20 years ago, and then found the magazine again like 10 years ago and was like "wait this sounds sick tho"
people are trying to get like $400 for ntsc-u copies now. i'm not sure it's that sick, but based on the intro (which i tried out a little while ago) i think it ought to be fun enough to go through.
alright, took longer to get the evening going than expected but still hoping to kick things up in 15-20 minutes!
