Suprgamr232's Charity Live Stream

[Tom Bombadildo]

Hello everybody, Tom Bombadildo (formerly known as Suprgamr232) here and I'm advertising (with the permission of the almighty Costello) a monthly charity livestream I'll be doing...well, once a month.


FAQs

What is this magical thing you speak of?
The gist of it is, I'll be live streaming myself playing PC games, whatever ones you guys may find enjoyable, and while streaming I'll have post a GoFundMe link for anyone to come and donate to a charity of my (or your, if you have a suggestion/request) choosing.

How do I know you won't steal my monies???
I'll be using GoFundMe, an online fundraising site that has the option to donate money to charity instead of your own wallet. It's completely free and donations will be going straight to the charity itself, I won't see a dime of it. For more info on GoFundMe, you can check out their website at: http://www.gofundme.com

What charity will you be fundraising for?
At the moment, the charity will be for Childs Play (anyone familiar with Penny Arcade should be well aware of what they do, if not, here's a link for more info). I remember first hearing about what the Penny Arcade guys did and I remember watching their PATV episodes about it, and it really touched me in appropriate places. Ever since then, I've donated most of the extra leftover money I have at the end of the year and they deserve more than I can give, so hopefully you guys can help.

Why are you doing this?
Why, because I'm a nice guy of course! ...or sometimes, at least. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now and never had the...means to do it, and now that I've got time and such, I decided to start a once-a-month thing to help raise money. In short, I want to make a difference. A bigger difference. Yeah.

When will these streams be happening?
I want to try and do them the first Saturday of every month (so the next stream would be March 2nd) at varying times during the day. I'll try to find a good time to get maximum viewers, so I'll have to experiment a bit and get a little bit of feedback.

How do I view this..."live stream"?
I'll be hosting the LiveStream at twitch.tv/suprgamr232 and I'll post a GoFundMe link somewhere or other for you guys to donate while I play. Donations are completely optional, but are encouraged. Every little bit helps.

When's the next Live Stream?

Saturday, March 2nd at 2PM EST.

What will you be playing?

Right now, this will be up to you guys! Post your suggestions for games you want to see me play, and I'll do my best to acquire them for you! At the moment I'll only be able to record PC games, so we'll stick to those for a bit along with emulators as well. My PC handles everything pretty well, so suggestions up to PS2/GC/Wii are allowed (as long as the game is playable in the emulator) If no suggestions come in, then I'll pick a game at random from a list and I'll just continue on doing that until something better comes along.

EDIT: So far we have Halo 1/2 and Cave Story+, and Superman 64. If I have any time left at the end, I'll (hopefully) be playing Minecraft online! (Anyone with a nice stable server that will allow me to destroy stuff, PM me please). I'll be inviting you guys to the server and we'll be playing a bit of Minecraft together.

Here's a nice video with some info as well:

If there are any other questions or anything let me know, and if you have suggestions for a game or anything really go right ahead and post.

Once a month, you mean like your period.

HAWHAWHAWHAW.

Play Bubsy 3D and feel my pain.

play a good game for a start, not shitty. you give us a choice of games to pick from you haven't played and consoles you have, it will make it easier for us.

At the moment I only have means to record PC games, stated somewhere in the OP. This includes emulators up to Wii/GC/PS2.

dont play emulators, and record yourself. i might sound paranoid but people are out to get people. in that case play a PC game.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

You may be paranoid, I am not.

Any and all suggestions appreciated guys.

 

[TripleSMoon]

This is a great idea, Tom!

Anyway, I'll try to keep my PC suggestions cheap, in case you don't already have them... Can you play Cave Story Plus? Oh pretty please?!? It's on Steam for $10. No idea if Dolphin can emulate WiiWare titles, but it's available there, too.

Also, the PC versions of Halo or Halo 2 would be awesome, if you could get your hands on a copy.

As for emulations, Zelda: aLttP, Mega Man X, Yoshi's Island, Sonic CD, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles all come to mind.

Got both Halos for PC and Cave Story plus. May play Sonic 3 or Mega Man X as well. Thanks for the suggestions!

Do a full play-through of Superman 64, live streaming while you play the whole game of course. =3

That could take multiple days.

 

[Skelletonike]

That could take multiple days.

He says once a month and has the starting date... So he can pretty much just play the game without eating, drinking and much less sleeping, if that's what he must do in order to complete it. =3

God no. At most the streams will last 3-4 hours or so. And I will never play Superman 64, I'd die first. Lol

And you call yourself a gamer? I've at least tried it. <.<

 

[emigre]

Play Popful Mail on the Mega CD.

/non-conformist.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Added Superman 64 to the list of games.

I'd also like to add that my ISP is being a bag of dildos and ATM my upload speed is capped, therefore I won't be able to stream lovely lovely 720p to you guys, and I'll have to downgrade to...240p...>.<. This will only be for the first stream, and if I can't get it clean/crisp enough I might postpone the stream until my ISP stops being retarded. I may also look for another place to do it as well, so I'll keep updating this thread with info.

SHHHH!!! That's a secret! Bombadildo is a much funnier name!

Small update, I'll be holding a small test to check the quality of my stream in about 1 hour. The stream will be hosted at http://www.twitch.tv/suprgamr232 I'll have the chat up on my tablet, so post how it looks/sounds. I'll probably just do a quick 15-30 minute session.


EDIT: Alright, so stream went live and...unfortunately, the video looks like absolutely bad. Not sure how well it played while streaming though, but I'm gonna assume it was fine. This would mean the stream will be postponed until after my ISP billing date which is...the 15th? I think? So I'll update the thread accordingly.


EDIT2: Lol JK see next post for details!
