Contractual Obligation Goes Right! - Let's Casually Play Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire Live![]() Pokemon: Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are updated 3DS remakes of the GBA's Ruby and Sapphire, adding multiple features introduced in X and Y and continuing the tradition of remakes started with FireRed and LeafGreen. We play as I was kindly gifted Alpha Sapphire by TheReaperHolland, so as thanks I LP'd the game live on my hitbox multiple times a week, with edited down videos uploaded to YouTube every other day.

![]() Forgot to upload Part 9 yesterday, so here we are. Part 8 is the changeover between the first stream and the second, so my guests change to a couple friends and fans.

My audience becomes absurdly generous this week. The game audio is very quiet through Part 12 due to a lot of static coming through Skype, so the noise removal ended up taking some of the game audio with it.

Legally enforced child neglect, zombie bug carcasses, and lethal beauty pageants. It was a weird week.

Even when I trample over everything in my path, playing and streaming this game is a blast. Part 24 starts perhaps my favorite session thus far, and next week has my new favorite gym leader. Also got some great pieces of fanart from ChibiWisdom: ![]() ![]() ![]() ThornBrain fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Aug 1, 2016 |

I had jury duty last week, so I'm only now catching up on what hasn't been added to this thread. First session where I got really annoyed by my audience AND hosed up the recording and had to use hitbox's stream backups (30-33), first real fuckup with forgetting to save the game (34), and then back to having fun like I'm supposed to (35-36). I still think it's all worth giving a look though. And we've got Mega Evolutions now! Also Blazikamen Rider is broken and awesome. ![]() (By LordZeroTheMighty)

![]() Failed to keep the thread updated this last month, but the streams have been on a minor hiatus, so you haven't missed too much. We are however done with the main plot of the game: I have the final two badges, we've fought Kyogre, and the latest recording ends in front of the Pokemon League. My buddies BigTUnit1 and JigglyJacob also joined me for parts 40-43.

![]() I streamed the last of the game today, so I'ma update this thread with the previous stream's recordings so we'll be ready to call it finished next week.

![]() Welp, it's finally finished. Not a 100% run by any means, but a pretty thorough playthrough for a casual run, and I had fun with it. Also this last session has some of the funniest stupid situations I ran into. Excluding all of the tedious dialogue. Might archive the LP, might not. I'm just glad I got to do something like this.

![]() Stranded Deep is one of the myriad of Rust-like, first-person survival games that have flooded Steam in the past few years. SD has the benefit of actually being good, but it is still in Early Access after two years and, despite new updates to this day, sees little in the way of reaching completion or even fixing its core bugs. That said, there's some entertainment to be had when you share the game with others and make your own goals. As such, this LP is a casual live-streamed playthrough (though still edited to remove long farming or traveling times) to show off as much of the game as possible. I'll explore every island in my seed, build a motored raft, fight the ocean life and make their corpses our mascots, and construct the most ramshackle and structurally questionable shack this side of Tim Burton. Thanks to my chat being silly, watching BigTUnit1's LP of Skies of Arcadia might help this make more sense. Updates are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Streams are Saturdays at my Twitch; the first stream (Parts 1-4) was on Hitbox, but my viewers had constant connection issues. The bitrate was also low, and that was fixed by the second stream. The game is played on version 0.22, except for the final part which is played with the experimental 0.23 build. ![]()

![]() With our first raft complete, it's time to sail into the unknown and make some new enemies. ![]() (By crthemighty) ![]()

|
![]() Some more exploration, and then I construct a ridiculous hobo shack for me and my murdered animal friends to not live in.
|
![]() |
|
![]() Some pretty amazing things happen this part: the HMS Moonstone Cannon gets replaced with something even better, and sharks hate me so much they ignore physics and geometry. As does the new motor.
|

|
![]() Bad Buoy rides, Gonzales runs, hobo shack rises, and hobo stove stands.
|

|
![]() We continue our motor boat exploration, and in the process find perhaps the most useless thing in the game. I also just held the last stream of the game today, so we're just a couple parts from completing the LP as well.

![]() An ill-fated search for an air tank leads me to one of the buggier islands I've seen.
|
![]() |
|
![]() The search for an air tank failed, so I fall back on more medieval shark hunting methods. Final part on Saturday.
|
![]() |
|
![]() The final part of the LP switches to experimental build 0.23, which only really introduces wooden containers. However I also successfully find those air tanks for a spear gun, some cool but laggy-as-rear end metal structures in the ocean, and finally take out a shark the way I wanted. Thanks for watching, folks. It's an overpriced, incomplete game to be sure, but there was still some wackiness to be had.

![]() Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) doesn't need an introduction by this point. It's one of the most infamously bad, incomplete, unintentionally hilarious games in recent memory. Plenty of people have played it to show off its ridiculous badness, but few have actually been payed to do it. Thanks to my Patreon patrons, I have. This is a totally casual, loose, goof-off playthrough of the game. The weird thing- despite never playing the game until now, I'm... weirdly good at it? I die plenty, but I end up not having an awful time with it despite how demonstrably unplayable it is. This is perhaps aided by my co-commentators, Mugiwara Yoshi, a long-time friend and collaborator whom I haven't worked with in over a year until now, and JigglyJacob (Shadow's story on) who is likewise but I have worked with more recently. We have a history goofing on Sonic (warning: pretty cheap and dated, but also necessary to understand our nonsense). We riff the poo poo out of the game and end up having a blast. However it's worth noting that, because of this, this LP can be either hilarious to you or loving annoying. ![]() The Sonic Story was streamed on my Twitch to celebrate our channel's 8th birthday, and later story streams followed in subsequent months. The LP parts have been edited down from the stream to shorten the egregious load times when possible and skip through long retries. New parts go up on Mondays. ![]() Sonic's Story ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shadow's Story ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Silver's Story ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last Episode ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------------------------- ![]() (By Brenna Okazaki) ![]() (By CJ) ![]() (By MattM) ![]() ThornBrain fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Oct 15, 2018 |

Sonic 06![]() I hit a point in the game that is so painful and obnoxious, and which I do so badly, that I just had to keep it all in. Each death is more unbelievable than the last.

![]() Bomberman received an official main-series entry in 2017 to the surprise of everybody (it's Konami) but the applause of few (it's mediocre). Outside of being a vehicle for the exact same multiplayer the franchise has had since the second game, its design now formally credited to Ctrl+V, SBR is also a revival of the SNES Super Bomberman subseries and loose remake of SB2. R finds the multicolored, multi-one-dimensionally-characterized Bombermen facing the evil overlord Buggler and his lackeys The Five Dastardly Bombers. This time however, there are animated comic-bookish cutscenes and voice acting, which manage to bring an odd, innocent charm with their vibrant but low-budget art direction and B-grade voice acting. However, what could have been a cute-but-standard Bomberman game gets badly dragged down by some truly obnoxious boss design decisions. This may be a casual LP, but you'll thank me for still editing the video. After all, if anyone was going to LP this game, I guess it was going to be me. This LP is edited down from a full playthrough I streamed on August 28 as thanks to my Patreon patrons for a month of support. Most of the LP is solo, except for my friend JigglyJacob popping into the Discord from late in Part 1 until early in Part 4. My computer's power shut off midway through Part 3, losing the first chunk of the recording, so I had to use the YouTube stream; as such the video and audio quality are lower than my usual standards until then. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ThornBrain fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Sep 27, 2018 |
