Getting the last piece of the puzzle for my gaming setup, so will have full audio in my gaming studio once again - no more relying on game headsets or tinny sound through the projector. Once I get in the new HDMI switch with audio extractor tomorrow, I can once again stream my older game systems. I really need to replace the AV receiver but this is a slightly cheaper option and less work setting up, but I'll replace it sometime down the road.
Will be airing the next episode of my newest show, The Board Gamer, tonight live on Rumble, Twitch and now YouTube as well. Will go over the basics of the game, playing the base game against computer AI and trying to knock out a couple of the achievements (or at least make some solid progress on the grindy ones). Will also take a look at the 1st expansion, Rivers I, which is included in the base game.
Game is a Backward Compatible 360 title so can be played on the One and Series X|S consoles as well. Game is still available for purchase and has 2 other expansions available (need to grab) these myself). This was not released on PS3 so is an Xbox exclusive by default. Game features local (1-4) and online play (2-5), and has a ranked mode.
At a later date I will host some community play weekends for this as well as Catan which was featured in past episodes. I will likely coordinate this with the True Achievements boosting session tool in order to line up some guaranteed players. It will NOT...
Tonight going to be doing some Throwback Thursday action with some more Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast. I'll be starting a new Ranger character to use in next week's episode of CO-OPTED to better complement Gunnie's character created on this week's episode. Live 8-8:30 CDT
I'll be streaming live on my Twitch, Rumble and Kick channels simultaneously (links to be posted just before I go live). I'll be playing this on the original Xbox, possibly taking it online to play with viewers as I am not concerned with unlocking levels this time around -save that for CO-OPTED on Tuesday.
Gunnie & I will be back for a new season of CO-OPTED, the streaming show dedicated to cooperative games...and sometimes delving into the Versus Modes. Featured game tonight will be a surprise as we do not even know what we will be playing yet. It will most likely be something retro, just don't know how far back we are going. So tune in on Rumble, Twitch or Kick as we should be online sometime after 7PM CDT - hoping to get an earlier start but going with this for now and will update if the situation changes.
