Xfinity Butchered A Great Stream

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream suffered a series of interruptions caused by Xfinity, which resulted in the stream being split into 4 parts. It's been a while since things were that bad to force a complete split in the stream, which meant that 15 minutes of loss footage. 

Anyway last night we lead off with NFL Game Day 98... and... quite frankly I was terrible at it, in two full games played, I didn't score a single touch down. While the controls and way to play were similar to the original NFL Game Day, the game's A.I.was just brutal even on the easiest settings. Unfortunately, a good portion off footage from the NFL Game Day 98 portion of the stream is what was loss. On a positive note, NFL Game Day 98 still looks pretty good for a game from 1997. Next time I play a football game on stream, we'll jump to Madden I think

Next on the night was Bio Freaks, and once I saw and realized it was a Midway game from the late 90s, I realized there was going to be a bunch of hokey shit to deal with, mostly from the game's A.I. See Midway was notorious for having some brutal difficulty spikes in its games, and that popped up in a big way. I did play as a few characters, but the controls were rather cumbersome, resulting in some Tekken like struggles in trying to see what did and did not work.

Speaking of Tekken, we finally played Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and I am counting it as a game finished because of going through the arcade mode and then learning character endings can be unlocked via the Ghost Fight option. We spent the majority of the stream with TTT2, and while some if its difficulty spikes were a bit 'mean' at times, it certainly wasn't frustrating beyond me realizing them mistake I made when I lost. Also, this was the PS3 version of the game, so we unlocked several trophies.Also... this game has no analog movement controls which is really fucking weird.

On a side note, since we had to install Tekken Tag Tournament 2 onto the PS3, that meant waiting for a long time for that to happen. The PlayStation 3 never had great install times... then again the PS3 was not really a great system, as many developers have stated over the years.

Big thanks to the chat for kicking in 300 bits during the stream, your support is always appreciated, especially on a night when things were going wrong.
