Nov 7th is almost upon us. Upon me. My Extra Life stream will be on youtube here and my donation page is here.

My quest? To save the kids. All of them.

The journey begins at 10am on Nov 7, 2015. (tomorrow)

Like so many others I will be playing video games for charity all day long. For the last two weeks I have been setting up for the stream and I'm hopeful that I can get everything working. The last thing I want is to be doing a live stream where I'm fixing the live stream the whole time. I'm quite excited about it, though, because I'll be playing games I really liked, but haven't been able to play again for a long time. Will my stream explode? Probably. I will do my best to keep things going for 24 hours, and raise all the money. That... I can (Sorry, you caught me Shatner-ing for a second there).

Anyway, I tend to plan a lot ahead of time for stuff I do. It's can be a pain to some degree because half the time I want to stick to my plan, but for whatever reason the schedule changes (it will probably change). Still, this is the list of games I expect to play as well as when (roughly not exactly) I will play them.

Enough of my jibber jabber. The list ahoy:

I wanted to start off with a few DOS games using DOS box. Due to the nature of all the emulators I'll be using the transitions will be a mess the whole time, I'm sure, but none-the-less I feel I have OBS figured out enough to capture all the games I have setup.

Starting with DOS BOX - ~10am to 1PM

Crusader No Remorse
Blood
Sam and Max Hit the Road

I have owned these games for years (which is the case for a lot of these older games, only 3 I'll be playing from GOG re-releases) so that's why the need for these emulated environments. That and old games don't like screen capturing, being windowed, or anything else that would make them easy to stream. So, playing them in another program as a wrapper is almost essential for most of them. Trust me, there is several games I wanted to have on the list that I couldn't because I could not get them to work properly and be captured.

Oh well, sometimes my knowledge fails me.

Win 95 games

While moving into Win 95 games I wanted to get into some very very old demo discs I have had since the mid 90s up through early 2000s. One is in DoS Box, the others are in Win 95. They only work in Win 95, last I checked, and I have not tested any of these so that will be fun to see if it even works right. It may not.

Demo Discs (Dos Box and Win 95) ~1pm to 3pm depending on what happens

Then I'll move along to Win 95 classics ~3pm to 6pm:

Pyst
The Simpson's: Virtual Springfield
Shivers
Shivers 2

Maybe others but nothing currently planned

I debated whether or not I wanted to have surprises for my stream, but I fell on "no" because I'm not "famous" or "popular" so it doesn't really matter. If anyone does watch, I appreciate it, but also I don't think you'll have expectations about what I'm doing, haha. Hopefully it's fun without surprises.

Playstation 2 ~6pm to 10pm

(I should mention I will be emulating my PS2 on my PC. I do own all of these games, multiple PS2 consoles, and my PS2 emulation is 100% legal. If you want to know how that is done it's easy to find in a google search. You'd be surprised how easy it is.)

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4
Ghosthunter
The Operative: No One Lives Forever
TimeSplitters 2

Maybe one hour or so of these three games-

Onimusha: Warlords

Barbarian

Project Eden

(Two of these games are bad and I just want to whine about them, but I don't know. We'll see how it goes)

This block of games is unclear how long I will play each game in particular due to my need for interest throughout the night so I can only say ~10pm to 10am is everything below.

Zork: Grand Inquisitor
Sega Classics (on Steam, I wanted to play some Genesis games)
Star Wars Republic Commando (I never played it, I hear it's good)
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold
Duke Nukem 1 and 2

There maybe some more puzzley games I can play for a bit if I need to take a break at some point - Super House of Dead Ninja, Super Meat Boy, Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe - stuff like that. Stuff that doesn't require a whole lot of attention.

The rest of the games are mostly new, and won't require emulation, (except three, at the bottom, which are absolutely not new, but I don't know if I want to play them). Only 2 of them I even have installed yet, and others I haven't bought but I am ready too if I want/need back ups. It really just depends on how long I play each game up to this point and how much time I have left.

Own Already
The Park
Stasis
Don't own but I would buy if I need something else
Undertale
Spooky's House of Jump Scares
The Beginner's guide
Reserve/Maybe games; if I need something else to choose	and I don't want to spend money
Harvester (weird game, but I liked it)
I have no mouth and I must scream
Mad Max (Can be fun some times to explore the wasteland, and Mad Max is just awesome in general)
Lords of the Fallen (a cool Dark Souls clone I never finished)
Tron 2.0 (I like this attempt at Tron as a first person shooter- it has more heart then it gets credit for)

You will notice I don't really have a theme really. The reason I'm playing a lot of games instead of just one game to play through for 24 hours is because I wanted to play games I have personally enjoyed over the year,s and go on a nostalgia trip for a bit (since there's never any time for that- so many games come out these days). I'm hoping the first half of my stream will mostly be games that are probably more obscure now or I haven't seen get a lot of attention anywhere(so would be more interesting to watch out of curiosity). I thought that could be fun. Later on in the night it will probably just be everything I can do to even stay awake so I wanted to play games I haven't played yet and/or have a lot of interest in.

Next to that: I'm not sure how to plan for eating, but I think I'm just gonna eat a couple Hot Pockets and some Ramen noodles or something. It'll be fine. I can put on some ads or some Creative Commons music while I eat.

Nov 7 2015, 10am. Be there or be square. *explosions*
