#streaming Deus Ex (2000, PC) right now at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Part 6; JC approaches Chateau DuClare.

#streaming Deus Ex (2000, PC) this morning at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Part 5; JC makes his way from New York to Paris.

(Still sick so, again, this might be a short broadcast.)

#streaming Deus Ex (2000, PC) tonight at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Part 4; JC returns to New York from Hong Kong.

(I've been pretty sick so this might be a short broadcast.)

#streaming Deus Ex (2000) tonight at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Part 3; JC has arrived in Hong Kong and sets out to explore Wan Chai Market.

(I'm pretty bad at this game so far; maybe I'll wise up today.)

#streaming Deus Ex (2000) again today at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. JC's brother Paul has just defected to the NSF and we're about to get yelled at by Manderley.

Toot edited to add: unfortunately in the middle of the broadcast the game crashed and afterwards wasn't captured for ~20 minutes. I have identified the problem and it won't be an issue in the future (have to make sure to capture the game window after clicking 'play' in the launcher).

Starting Deus Ex (2000) today at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Been avoiding playing it for a while, seems like now is the time. #streaming

This year's RPG Limit Break speedrun marathon started yesterday! Gyre is running Final Fantasy Legend II right now, Romancing SaGa 2 is up next. I watch this every year and always enjoy it.

Completed Shadowrun (SNES, Randomized) in just under four hours today! I'm very surprised, that's the first time I've finished the game in one sitting. I got a pretty fast rando seed I think.

I'm starting an SNES Shadowrun Randomizer game right now over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen, playing the latest git version of the randomizer.

(These usually take me more than one day to beat so this'll be the first installment). #streaming

And that's Dragon Quest 8 completed. I thought for sure I was going to have to fight Rhapthorne multiple times but no, no full-party deaths today.

What a good game. Sweet, lighthearted, fun. A real Saturday morning cartoon. Loved the ending too. I enjoyed it a lot in general, it was just what I needed right now.

#streaming Dragon Quest 8 (Playstation 2) this afternoon at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. The party returns to the Black Citadel to challenge Rhapthorne, the lord of darkness.

I'm pretty near the end of Dragon Quest 8 I think. In the final dungeon, maybe a level or two behind where I should be.

Might finish the game pretty soon.

#streaming Dragon Quest 8 (Playstation 2) right now over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. The party must now pursue and defeat Marcello who (after the defeat of Sir Leopold) is now in possession of the cursed staff.

#streaming Dragon Quest 8 (Playstation 2) this morning at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Today the party marches up the godbird's aerie to defeat Gemon who is holding Empyrea's egg hostage.

I've spent the last few days sourcing, editing, and re-mixing sounds for Quake. I wish the game hadn't shipped with 8bit 11025hz audio (but then I guess that's part of the charm).

Renoise has a really good sample editor.

Empyrea felt like the second truly tough fight in Dragon Quest 8. Took me several attempts to win (including an hour or so spent grinding one level for the whole party). Had to play the fight very safe. Glad I figured it out in the end.
