Let’s Play Bastion – Episode 1

Join me, if you will, on a trip down memory lane. It’s around 2008-10, and downloading video games via an app is still very new. My good friend, Drix, introduced me to using Stream, now a household name. But back then, it was still in its infancy. However, Drix had always been light years ahead of me when it came to gaming and suggested I join Steam. He loaned me a giant robot piloting game (which you could do back then) and told me to start playing it. Unfortunately, that account got compromised because I had accidentally given the password to a person without knowing what they would do.

To that end, I created a new account that is the same account I still use today. He also noticed that I had struggled with the controls of the robot game, so he instead gave me a game called “Bastion,” which was a 3D platform game with a narrator. Even though the game was MUCH harder than any other platform game, I had played up to that point, I still enjoyed playing it and loved the unique narrator. I

I still have Bastion to this day and am actually quite amazed at how well the graphics and play style have held up over the years. I know it has received a few updates over the years, but the general game is the same as it was back then. With all of my rambling out of the way, I’d like to invite you to check out my stream of Bastion:

Hello everyone! I got even further into Final Fantasy 4 on a recent stream. In episode 6, we took care of the Sealed Cave, watched the Tower-of Bab-il get energized and beat the Sylph cave to get the Sylph to summon. Please enjoy!

Please watch my Twitch channel (http://twitch.tv/the_retrogamerboy) to see my streams live!

Last night, I got a great opportunity to spend some time making my way through another episode of “Let’s Play Final Fantasy 4.” I took a little break to play some other games on my stream, but I returned to the game to play more. This time, I went through the first climb of the Tower of Bab-Il, the work through Eblan, and finally the second Tower of Bab-Il climb. I am now about 3/4 of the way through the game.

Once again, I played Final Fantasy 4 on my Twitch stream and got a fourth episode ready to go. In this episode, we went through the Toroia storyline, the Tower of Zot, and getting into the first part of the Underground map. It was a fun time!

Once again, I streamed playing Final Fantasy 4 on Twitch and got some viewers that enjoyed it. I have been backing the streams up daily to YouTube so you should be able to watch them whenever! I plan to keep streaming this (though I might switch up games some days) until I beat the game, but I will try to post each episode here.

I have streamed Final Fantasy 4 for three consecutive Twitch streams and they are usually well attended. I hope you guys are enjoying this material. Here is the link for the episode from Saturday and I will post the link to the one on Sunday as well.

I promised some retro content so here it is! Last night I streamed the first little bit of Final Fantasy 4 (FF2 in SNES America) on Twitch. I plan on doing a series of episodes on this to get from the beginning to the end but it may take a while to go all the way through it. Enjoy!

Again, I tend to get lots of people interested when I play Jedi Fallen Order so I stream it often. This is the video of my playing Jedi Fallen Order back on January 3, 2023.

A game that I have always had fun playing is “Guild of Dungeoneering”. It’s kind of silly and features a lot of funny elements. It’s basically as if someone took your tabletop gaming sessions you did as a teen and made a real video game out of them. You draw maps, build your team, plunder dungeons, get in fights, etc. Not to mention the songs that play are worse than Robin’s Minstrels from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

A game that is often a popular game for people to watch when I stream is Jedi Fallen Order. Here is a stream that I recorded on January 9, 2023. I do a lot of stuff in the game including beat most of the puzzle on one planet and start doing some things in Kashykk.
