If you haven’t noticed the love that the new Animal Crossing on Switch has been getting then I feel like you might be one of the unlucky, or maybe lucky, few.
Gamers all over have taken to living a virtual Island life with animal friends in a time when most places are encouraging you to stay inside just as Spring is starting to hit us with nice weather. With a Pandemic making life extremely difficult for many a cute little game has taken the world by storm.
So how is Animal Crossing New Horizons helping the world in such a tough time?
So I am already 7 and a half hours deep into Animal Crossing on Twitch right now.
I’ve actually had to self isolate and been super ill all week, I’m losing my voice and my mind and barely done anything at all so would love if people wanted to come hang out in chat and cheer my sad ass up today!
Will be streaming most of the day or until my voice finally gives up.
Well that is because I have a lot of VODS to throw at you because I’ve been bad at uploading them and sharing them.
For more Pro Gamer moments LIVE catch us at https://www.twitch.tv/awerka89 next stream is 8am GMT Friday. (You heard this here first we playin’ Final Fantasy 7 and maybe chilling out for a hour afterwards with Slay the Spire or Darkest Dungeon.)
For my schedule for the next few weeks and just to hang with the Monday Cult join us on Believe In Monday, our Discord server https://discord.gg/yTTvzw
First up this week we finished Danganronpa! WOO! So we have Chapter 5 in two parts because of problems and then Chapter 6.
You’ll notice that we now have a starting screen for Twitch but I promise I’ll start recording after I’ve said hello to stream from now on because I leave it on for too long to be honest.
I also played a little Dragon Age the other day, the game crashed at one point and the end of the VOD is crap but we’ll go back to it at some point no doubt and will try again. That stream didn’t go well in the end. Also there is a lot of talking about my personal life apparently because Travis was in chat and yeah…
Then last week I did a play through of Sonic Adventure DX. Well the full Sonic and Tails play through’s which was fun. You just need to skip to the end of the Sonic one and see how Pro Gamer I am at fighting final bosses.
WAIT there is more!
I also had a quick dabble in three other games.
First up was Dynamite Headdy really only to show it to Sean and I was playing it badly so when he left I just gave up.
Then we had a great game of Darkest Dungeon where you just need to watch the last part. Honestly don’t know how I pro gamer’d my way out of that one.
Then finally I played Slay the Spire on stream on Tuesday, I wasn’t very good at it but I had people telling me what to do so got much further then I thought.
So I’ve been a bit of a bad but I’m trying to sort that out.
You might think I’ve put streaming before the website but that isn’t really true. I mean yeah I have been streaming a whole bunch when I might of wanted to be writing but there is a reason.
I’m going to go into that in a minute but because it is now a big part of my week and we are now kind of pretend trying to get to 50 followers just to see if we can I’ll put the link not only to our Twitch page but now our brand spanking new Discord server right here.
The update part of this is that I have notes, first drafts and all sorts of EVERYTHING (nearly) that needs to be updated. I just need to sit down and write it all out. Pet has been delayed because I didn’t realise that I had totally forgotten to get the week before lasts review out, I don’t think it was even written. Everything else will be out ASAP.
Doctor Who and Inside No. 9 I’m only just getting up to date with so I’ve been avoiding Amanda’s reviews to avoid spoilers (I know a bad way of doing things but I’ve been super excited about both shows but had no time to watch them) they will 100% be out TODAY.
This weeks stuff I will hopefully get working on tomorrow and the weekend.
I will try and balance streaming and writing much better going forward, with new hours at work which will hopefully make me a little more motivated that shouldn’t be too hard, I’ll have a proper schedule a week in advance for streaming too which I’ll post in Discord. If not this month next month I’m hoping to have emotes on Discord too.
Below is a reason why I’ve been streaming more but please feel free to follow us and join us on the Discord. It isn’t just about streaming and gaming we have channels for all sorts so we’d like you to join in and hang out with us.
We have three VODs for you today from a mega long stream yesterday.
First up we got through Chapter 4 of Danganronpa : Trigger Happy Havoc…
We got the message that we are now at least half way through which means the next stream of that might end up being cut up as I’m pretty sure that there isn’t a whole bunch more left of the game but the rest of it is very long. Can’t wait.
Next up I did two runs of 60 Seconds!
It is nice to have a chill out game at the end of Danganronpa and 60 Seconds! is a whole bunch of fun. I like games like it and hope to play it more on the stream.
I do have a VOD from today too, it isn’t as long as Streamlabs seemed to die on me at the end and the end of the VOD is a mess but I’ll upload it soon and post it and we’ll see where we have to start up from again next time we play Dragon Age : Origins.
You learn way too much about us in that VOD too by the way.
As always come follow us and join the fun when we go live at :
Anime and all that will resume pretty soon. My mental health has still been pretty all over the place and I’ve been streaming to make me feel better but I’m back at work now so hopefully after I finish I’ll be able to get up to date.
A near on 7 hour stream and we got our first on stream follower (most of our followers are friends or came when we posted about it on here) so that was fun!
Danganronpa always brings in some people to chat, it is still a super popular game and the one we get the biggest audiences for. It was also the chat where Povey (Sean) got himself modded so he could watch over himself.
As I said a few times on stream I never think these are going to go anywhere. They started off as a experiment to see if it helped with anxiety and problems speaking to people and in a way they proved that, now they are just fun and also allow me to spend long periods of time playing games without feeling guilty that I’m not doing 20 other things. With more time on my hands soon (VERY SOON!) having one big day of streaming and a few smaller streams when I finish other stuff I should be able to play many more games for longer periods which will make me happy.
As such I do need to put some effort into the channel not because I think it’ll get me anywhere but because I should show pride in something I want to do even if it is just for fun!
Plus it is kinda fun having people in chat to talk to and being on the other side of it all for a change you know?
