Originally Recorded on 11/14/2020 I may rag on the story of Kingdom Hearts a lot, and I mean A LOT! But the content has never been light in the Kingdom Hearts series. In this stream, I go back to the previous and get some stuff that I missed. "Fun" Fact. At the end of this stream, noticed how it just ended abruptly? That's because my internet stopped working. Yay!

Originally Recorded on 11/11/2020 In this stream, we tackle Hollow Bastion, and begin our march towards the end game. We're so close to stop hearing about "darkness" and "heart" that... What? There's 10 other games? AND THEY SAY THIS GAME'S STORY IS THE MOST COHERENT ONE?! I guess I shouldn't have been so snarky during the cutscenes. But where's the fun in not being snarky?

Originally Recorded on 11/09/2020 I did a lot in this stream. Went to Neverland. Went back to Olympus and Wonderland. Took care of some more business in Traverse Town and we're pretty close to starting the end game. Notes as of posting of this video - Posting my first stream on a new platform PROBABLY wasn't the best idea. But I'm doing this to show other growth. It's okay to not know what you are doing. It's okay to show the learning process because these do get better.

Originally Recorded on 11/02/2020 Another stream while I'm still learning how to stream. Disaster strikes at the 48:00 mark. Kids, another pro-tip, Save often!

Originally Recorded on 10/31/2020 It was Halloween 2020. All 8 trick or treaters we got went home with their hauls. And it was night we set the clocks back an hour. So I spent my evening and extra hour live on Twitch! Notes as of posting this video - Yep. We lived in an older community, no sidewalks, and hills like crazy. We did get 8 trick or treaters that year. I hate that, so I try to load the kids up who come our way. Also, I love doing holiday streams. The problem with that is that they are on holidays and my wife and I get super busy.

Originally Recorded on 10/30/2020 -gatory Arabian Nights title because what else am I going to call it? Super long title for a long stream. I was new to this and splitting up episodes didn't seem like a good idea at the time. "The entire playthrough in every, agonizing, slow detail", I thought. Yeah, not exactly compelling. But this is what I thought at the time. And for and for better or for worse, the entire unedited stream, is posted for posterity.

Originally Recorded on 10/26/2020 After completing the first third of the game, we're going back to Traverse Town! We had a few laughs, tried to find a few beers, found a few gummis. All in all, it was a good time! Notes after posting this video - I can't WAIT to give Kingdom Hearts Final Mix another go on stream. Not that I'm a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts 1. I just want to make it a better production.

Originally Recorded on 10/23/2020 Decided to stream randomly. Plowed through the first part of Olympus and then I ran through Deep Jungle just for giggles. Now with 100% audio! We did it! Notes as of posting this video - I feel like when I go back to do the "Kingdom Hearts in less than 15 hours" playthrough. Deep Jungle will trip me up the most. It's too dang confused. And I'm confused how I navigated this here!

Originally Recorded on 10/19/2020 Making my way to and through the first world, Wonder Land. I take some take out to re-familiarize myself with the first Kingdom Hearts. Note as of posting the video - I know I say learning something new if half the fun of doing something new. I just wished I learned faster. These audio issues will continue well into this play through. I honestly can't wait to go back and redo Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, but that is years from now at this point. I set the goal for myself to beat the Kingdom Hearts series before May 2026.

Originally Recorded on 10/12/2020 My internet is bad. I've never streamed anything before. And there was audio issues for the first hour of this stream. BUT IT'S NOW OR NEVER AND I JUST GOT TO GO FOR IT! I decided to play Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, apart of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX collection. Why? Because it's on the PS4 and my computer/motherboard is on the fritz and I can't stream on anything else besides my PS4. Plus I haven't played the original Kingdom Hearts in a few years. So I made a decision that this would be the last time ever I'll be playing this, so might as well share the experience! Notes as of posting this video - Man, what a time capsule this is. I had no idea what I was doing. I mean, I still don't. But I know a lot more than what I did back then. Even just the look of the VODs I make now look infinitely better with this layout I made around May 2023. The Orange and Yellow one. That's my biggest piece of advice to any new streamer. Figure out what you can do to get streaming tonight, and after that, figure out what you can do to make your stream better and more presentable and professional-looking.

I'm going to keep this quick. I don't like YouTube. I want to be discoverable. I want to help build a new platform. I want my streams posted elsewhere besides YouTube.

Originally Recorded on 06/19/2023 Special thanks to the Side Scrollers podcast for the inspiration to do this! Find them on Rumble at https://rumble.com/c/SideScrollers I'm going to talk more about my switch to Rumble in a later video. So stay tuned for that. But for now, let's talk about one of my biggest gaming shames. At 37 years old, I never beat Super Mario Bros. I know... I know... It's a 35+ year old game. Why haven't you beat the game already? Why are you so concerned about beating the game now? Like I said, I'll explain everything in a later video. Let's enjoy this video now, shall we?
