ChiaroBen - Twitch My Favourite Zelda Game: Majora's Mask | Unscripted Review (More Final Fantasy VIII afterwards)

Two sunday streams in a row, that's weird.
But hey, let's start today off with a little unscripted review of my favourite Zelda: Majora's Mask.
And afterwards we'll try to get the final GF in Final Fantasy VIII.

The visual style of this looks so rad.

Mental health can be a bastard, but phrases like "concentrate on the positives" are easily said and difficult to achieve anything.
But you're seen. Rock on, Allie.

There is a lot of things music "isn't", but what your album is, is just a great piece of your take on Black Metal.

It also gave me the final push to finally buy a vinyl player because I wanted to have your album on vinyl, so there's that.

It rocks.

Kaizo Mario / Mario maker is definitely a cool scene that I didn't think of right now.

More like "there is enough of a scene that you can find tournaments / leagues to watch", but it's fine if those have like 100 viewers or so. But yeah, current competitive games are apparently not really up my alley.
Apart from *shivers*... League.

Sometimes I start craving an MMO again (happens ever so often), but you know what I don't like? I don't like the feeling in MMOs where you become the legendary Jimbob.
I want to start out as a grunt, and if I do really well, I can become a REALLY GOOD grunt.

Same DK, same.

I haven't looked into racing games at all tbh, could be something!

... You're telling me that there's no Heavy Metal band called "Nova Coil"?

I kinda wanna get more interested in e-sports again, but what games are even out there (can be semi-niche, but not Dominions6 level niche) that are played in a professional competitive manor? I don't care for shooters or blizzard games, and current fighting games are not that interesting to me, too.

Am I the only one who always cringes when hitting the "update now" button in OBS until it's done?

Cover of the German advertisement game "Mäx! - ein Tropfen boxt sich durch", featuring the main character (a water drop with eyes) and a black coal looking monster with angry eyes in a weird cave system with a river of lava between them.

Also shoutout to another childhood favourite of mine: "Mäx! ein Tropfen boxt sich durch" (basically "Max! - a drop fighting for his life"), a weird ass Lemmings clone with a sentient rain drop that wants to become delicious mineral water.
Sponsored by the German Lobby for Mineral Water.

Also: In both games you had to pick out a fitting outfit for Harry from his wardrobe, which featured a lot of outfits that never got games, like an astronaut suit.
Also also: While you picked the outfit, Harry was naked. Rabbit dong and all.

A Screenshot from the German kids adventure video game "Harry Hops auf Schatzsuche", featuring a very cluttered basement with spider webs, a grandfather clock, a pirate portrait and way more, with the main character (a cartoon rabbit in a pyjama that has carrots on it) standing in front of an open treasure chest, looking into the camera. There is a simple adventure UI at the bottom, showing what items the palyer has.

Ben shows off weird German stuff part 2/e:

While US americans had Pyjama Sam and Putt-Putt, we had Harry Hops. Two small adventure games with a rabbit, voice acting, and yes, even the classic "click on thing and watch a small animation"-business.

All love for Space Frog.

The reclaiming/reframing of frogs as Antifascist after enduring years of the execrable Pepe is glorious and I am here for every scrap of new heroic frog art

Yeah, as a kid I loved it, but of course didn't know the backstory of the power rangers production, I was just like "cool, they made unique monsters just for the game!"

It's still a cool beat em up.

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

Zur Abwechslung was auf deutsch: gibt es irgendjemanden im Raum Gevelsberg, Ennepetal oder Hagen (bzw. im Umkreis), der mir für ne Woche oder zwei eine stimmstabile Gitarre leihen kann? Oder kennt irgendwen, der jemanden kennt...?

Not at all my area, sorry. Don't really know one around there, but I'll ask around.

Because it's the correct way

I know he's a prolific and influential musician, but every time I hear is name now I have to think back to a friend going "dun dun Schaddn anner wann", and it makes me crack up.

Like the quote from Predator goes: "If it breeds, we can fill it."

... I'm sorry.

Oh. Oh yeah prepare to obsess about this game for a while, it's fantastic 😅

ChiaroBen - Twitch What Lies Beneath the Sea? | Discovering Fantasy Fantasy VIII

More Final Fantasy VIII - How often will I die to Ruby Dragons this time? Who knows!

I'm really looking forward to giving it a proper test soon.

Probably around christmas at the latest, maybe earlier if I find time (but when the fuck do I ever?)

A picture of a Roland JV-1080, standing upright with the frontplate (and thus all controls) to the camera on a couch with a green blanket on (the couch, not the Roland). The original manual for the Rompler is there as well, in German.

Isn't it a beauty?
