Metroid Prime 4 overview trailer: calls Samus a "lone hunter".
Also the overview trailer: has an entire section on how Samus isn't alone at many points in the game.

Retro Studios, why...

Thinking about how we're able to play the DS Zeldas got me wondering...
What if we can figure out a control setup for Metroid Prime Hunters and play it before 4 comes out?
I think it's possible.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by for the birthday stream and for all the birthday wishes! Even though we had to go with plan B, I still had a wonderful time!

My apologies, but I think I'll have to postpone the Randomizer Randomizer. Apparently N64 games are really finicky and difficult to get working in a shuffler.

Instead, I'm going to try to set up a romhack that I've been meaning to replay one day.

So, some unfortunate news. I waited till today to test out the shuffled games, and it turns out DK64 and SF64 don't work or cause major issues. I'll do what I can to prepare a replacement.

We're going live with Windswept! An indie 2D platformer that's basically "I'm gonna make my own DKC2! With ducks! And turtles!"
I've been super hyped for this game after trying the demo. Let's get started!

Tomorrow, at 6PM EST, I'm planning a birthday stream where we're bringing back the Randomizer Randomizer!

This time, we'll have 5 N64 games in the shuffler. Games ranging to ones I'm familiar with to one I've never played before.

Hope to see you there!

Planned schedule for this week, all times ~6PM EST:

Tuesday - Windswept
Wednesday - Randomizer Randomizer N64 edition
Friday - Kingdom Hearts rando
Sunday - Spirit Tracks

Wednesday is my birthday! And we're bringing back the Randomizer Randomizer! I'll post more on that tomorrow.

~Stream alert~
We're going live with the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks! Let's wind down with some cozy, silly Zelda game.

Tried out the Kirby Air Riders demo tonight. Unfortunately since I'm not a racing game player, I couldn't really get into it.
It's definitely going to be a quality game though.

Thank you so heckin' much to everyone for 200 follows! I didn't think I'd hit this milestone this year. I really appreciate everyone's support!

There was a cool-looking full moon recently!
That could be it...

We're going live with Metroid Prime 3 rando! We're only a few upgrades away from finishing the game! Can we beat our last new Metroid rando tonight?

Is this week cursed? While driving home from work, I rounded a corner and had someone driving on the wrong side of the road in front of me. Luckily they moved to the right side, but after hearing about the other unfortunate car accidents, I'm more on edge lately.

Also, stream will be ~10 min late.

Since my birthday is next wednesday, it may be time to do another Randomizer Randomizer...
I'm thinking N64 games this time.

~Stream alert~
We're going live with Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors! This will be a short, one-off stream. This is one of the many random Wii games I own, and I don't remember if it's good or not. Let's revisit it!

Planned schedule for this week, all times ~6PM EST:

Tuesday - Dragon Quest Swords
Friday - Metroid Prime 3 rando
Sunday - Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

We'll do a one-off stream of something random from my Wii game collection: Dragon Quest Swords!

~Next week is birthday week~

Having trouble thinking of a one-off game for tomorrow, since we're starting Windswept next week.

Maybe I'll come across something that jumps out at me...

~Stream alert~
We're going live with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks! I barely played this game ~15 years ago, and I don't remember anything, so this is essentially a first playthrough! Let's ride a haunted train or something!

We're going live *NOW* with some #SpeciesUnknown! And we're joined by @madmanonfire.bsky.social & @osamuwuvt.bsky.social!

We're going live with Metroid Prime 3 rando! Will we save all the planets from corruption? Or will our ship run out of fuel from how often we have to fly around? Let's find out!

Thinking about continuing Metroid Prime 3 rando tonight if my evening is free.

Right? This truly is an extremely difficult choice. I might have to resort to flipping a coin.

I've been waiting to replay the gamecube Pokemon games till they're available on NSO, but I just learned about some major mods for each game that sound fun to check out...

Hmm...

~Stream alert~
We're going live with Luigi's Mansion: Premium Deluxe 2.0! Last year, we played the release version for the Halloween season, and tonight we'll check out what the mod adds in the latest update! What surprises shall we find?
www.twitch.tv/madmanonfire

Plans for this week, all times EDT:

Monday between 6 and 7 - Luigi's Mansion: Premium Deluxe 2.0
??? 6PM - Metroid Prime 3 rando
Sunday 6PM - LoZ: Spirit Tracks

We're finally starting our first real playthrough of Spirit Tracks! And this week will be a little odd due to Halloween activities.

~Stream alert~
We're going live with Yooka-Replaylee! We're near the end of this 100% journey and we have a boss bee to bash! We'll probably start Metroid Prime 3 rando after.
www.twitch.tv/madmanonfire

Thinking about what to play after we finish Yooka-Replaylee since that shouldn't take more than two hours.

If I can get it set up, should we start Metroid Prime 3 rando early?

Haru and I had a lot of fun with Species: Unknown demo, and the early access is out! Come check it out with me, Haru, @madmanonfire.bsky.social and LotusLiz, live now!

Well, we finished Bloodborne rando a stream sooner than expected!
Even if they had health relative to the trio boss they replaced, beating Gehrman, Maria, and Orphan of Kos at the same time felt immensely satisfying.
