The 2021 Gaming Tour Recap

Hey everyone,

It's the end of the year, and it's time to talk about everything that has gone on over at twitch.tv/fredcasden this year. This year we finished 72 games... now at the time of this post, I still had two games in progress, Pokemon Shining Pearl and Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, those will be carried over into 2022.

In terms of channel growth, well we took a hit, this is mostly in-part to my getting back to working day shift hours,which is my personal preference. While the majority of my audience is in the United States and Canada, it is really apparent that I had a lot of folks watching from other countries in what would have been their early mornings / early afternoons. Kind of a rough thing to deal with when you have a channel as small as mine... but hey, it's why I stream seven nights a week, to try and grow. Hopefully momentum will improve in the coming year. 

Of course this year saw an uptick in playing with the community as we were joined by PandaSweet, Iceman, PowerThumbz and others for various games, and I hope to maybe expand on that in 2022.

This year also saw the 'retirement' of shorts for Star Trek Online, this is mostly due to the lack of content to keep me engaged. The Developers of Star Trek Online have actually removed more content than added to it over the past five years, and the choice of either staying in 'open combat areas' or mindlessly doing Task Force Operations forced my hand to regulate STO to being a 'special feature' for when new 'episodes' aka missions are added Of course what replaced Star Trek Online was Final Fantasy XIV, and it is a game I'm playing mostly off-stream, but have elected to feature once a week on stream with whatever progress I'm up to. Because of the 'subscribe' nature of FF14, I want to make sure I get my proverbial monies worth with, and I certainly have done that to this point. 

Looking ahead to 2022, well, there are certainly a lot of games I have that I want to try out, and see if I can beat them. While some games from this year will find its way onto the tour for next year, I will be striving to features things I have not played before, Dragon Ball Kakarot and Kingdom Hearts III being at the top of the list. I am looking forward to the next Saints Row game but that's not until the summer. I do want to feature more stuff from the PlayStation One, Two and Three Eras in particular with stuff that were exclusive to those consoles that didn't see a re-release later on.

So on that note, here's the full list of every game that we've beaten this year, I doubt we'll crack this total next year, but it'll be fun to try!.
