Stream complete: G.I. Joe features in the Gintendo test run [Archived]
The next funding goal for the Retronauts Video Chronicles will be weekly live streams — and not just live streams, but the "Gintendo" streams I've been threatening to produce for the past few months. You guys thought it was a Twitter joke, but I meant it! The idea should, hopefully, be somewhat self-explanatory: I play a classic game and sip a libation of some sort. (Not necessarily gin, though that's definitely my preferred substance to abuse.)
We haven't quite hit that mark yet, but it's only about $150/mo. away and I feel pretty confident that the rad people of the internet will make it happen. So tonight will be a test run in a number of respects. I've never used YouTube for streaming before, nor have I streamed anything since rearranging my office setup last month. I figure the Friday evening of a holiday weekend is probably the best possible time to attempt to try a dry run for something so fraught with technical concerns and learning curves.
The stream is now archived here:
But please be patient, as this will definitely be a "working out the kinks" kind of stream.
- Tonight's game of choice will be G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, developed by Kid and published by Taxan for NES.
- Tonight's beverage of choice will be a negroni made with Barr Hill honey gin. (Equal parts gin, Carpano Antica vermouth, and Campari, shaken with ice and enjoyed up.)
I will share whatever knowledge I have for both as I enjoy them together. Assuming setup complications don't get the best of me, that is. Please watch and play along... or drink along... or both... or neither. Really, the choice is yours.
