Amp Plays Hacks and Stuff...LIVE!

[Bud8Amp88]

Yup.

Screw it, we'll do it live! I'm making my official debut on Twitch this holiday weekend, and you Talkhaus'ers are invited to join me as I play hacks in all their tool-free glory! (Save for some certain levels in certain hacks being played Sunday/Monday that may or may not drive me up a wall, but even then I'll give them the 'ol college try...)

Well, last weekend was a blast! Shout out to Aterraformer and lolyoshi for stopping by during the JUMP stream Monday night - if you want to see how I did, I posted the archive to YouTube:
The JUMP Stream the First: Where I learn that perhaps all isn't as horrific as I once thought...then remember that I'm not in World 6 yet...

I didn't start all that good, but that was bad playing more than anything - all in all it was pretty painless...so far...

So, let's do it some more this weekend, shall we?

Planned Schedule (April 3rd + 4th):
Sunday, April 3rd:
Noon - 2:00pm EST: Finishing off Super Mario Bros 3X

Monday, April 4th:
Noon - 3:30pm EST: Super Demo World: The Legend Continues
5:30 - 8:30pm EST: More of JUMP

(Stream times approximate and subject to change without notice.)

JUMP Update:

I BEAT A MORSEL LEVEL!!! TOOL-FREE!!! And it wasn't even really that bad!!! Loud noises!!!

If you don't believe the crazy spoiler-guy shouting like a crazy spoiler-guy does, the archive from Monday night is now up on YouTube as proof: The JUMP Stream the Second: Where I learn that not having water physics in a water level isn't as bad as I once feared...

In the meantime, this upcoming week marks the first Amp Zone Live: Stream Week, in which I take a break from making videos for the internet so I can make even longer videos for the internet (also: perhaps playing games live or something). I plan on doing a variety of stuff, as the schedule below will clearly indicate^{[Citation Needed]}.

(all stream times...ah, you probably know this by now, why do I both-wha? All right, fine! But you owe me! Stream times approximate and subject to change without notice.)
[*Was supposed to be Super Demo World, but the first Star World level can eat 42 hams - no more, no less - and so I switched to this one]
[**Continuation of my YouTube LP that I've been working on the past three Fridays, so catch up before then if you need to...]

[Bud8Amp88]

JUMP Update:

Beat Disco Dance Party (I may have damage boosted the first half, but I did the second half clean(ish))
Beat morsel's urchin/sliding level, and actually enjoyed it a fair bit, so I must be going slightly mad
Have to start the next stream by doing CHARGE or FIRE by the same morsel, so yippie...

Also got decimated by Mega Man in less than an hour, had a surprising amount of fun playing a 16 year old trivia game (twice!), adventured around as an orange marsupial, a family of monkeys, and a plumber in as many days, learned that SMBX's Bowser boss can be a bit of a thing (read: Invasion 2 and Princess Cliche have very unbalanced difficulty curves - if you tend to complain a lot primarily), and even had a little time for the stupid horse/baby tandem. Such was Stream Week...

...but you're probably only interested in the JUMP stream, so here you go:
The JUMP Stream the Third: Where I learn sliding into urchins hurts as much as rainbow spikes do...

Welp, Twitch Schedule Time...Here's the channel or something

Noon - 2:30pm EST: Torrent Tuesday (Episode 5) LIVE (Where we learn that, by and large, hacks from 2002/2003 probably aren't that good)

Friday, April 22nd:
11:00am - 1:00pm: The Second Reality Project 2: Reloaded (Part 4)** (Where Marty the Mole learns that I can be pretty annoying re: power-ups)

Saturday, April 23rd:
Noon - 2:00pm EST: Donkey Kong Country 3 (Part 1) (Where Dixie learns being the lead in a DKC game means you'll go missing in the next one...)

(*Sigh*This again, huh? Boy, you sure like reading fine print, don't you? Well, this is the same as the last three, so stream times are approximate and subject to change without notice...but you knew that already, didn't you?)
(* Continuation of my YouTube project of the last couple weeks, so it's in progress or something)
(** The planned Newgrounds stream changed to part 3 of this, so it's more in progress than was previously advertised or something)

The JUMP Stream The Fifth: Where Cryophobia is real, and moon flight is only possible with a throw block.

Still find it hard to believe that I struggled with the first half of Cryophobia Cavern, yet aced the second - and thus harder - half...who knew?
And, once you know what to do in Manky Bridge, it's honestly...not that bad - again, had more trouble with the first half than the second...

The JUMP Stream The Last: Where Things Go Bad, But End Pretty Okay, Maybe...

All in all, I feel like I did okay. Outside of being in a crappy mood in Parts 8 and 10, which hurt things overall, I certainly improved over the original YouTube LP. And, I made it about 75% of the way through 1F8 (though I doubt I'd have made it far in the final room - that place is NUTS). Oh well, next up for harder hacks is (challenged by aterraformer) Luigi's Adventure OSE. I may run an infinite lives code to avoid life farming, but otherwise I'd be attempting it tool-free.

Thursday's stream will be a six hour marathon. chronicling my 7 year YouTube career - so if you've ever wanted to hear me cringe at listening to my old commentaries (and I hate listening to myself talk, btw, so this'll be interesting), set your alarm clocks bright and early for this thing. It'll be...a thing.
