Turns out the illness I was having was kidney stones again, this time in my other kidney. Hopefully after this they will all have been flushed out and I will be free of them. So, no videos for a while longer, sorry. Less pain this time, more nausea! I have my very own bucket!

In the meantime, here is the burnout paradise eurobeat stream I did. You should watch it, it's entertaining.

I'm so sorry this keeps happening to you. What preventative measures can be taken to stop this from happening again-again?

Gonna be doing a 12 hour stream tomorrow starting between probably 10 and noon CST. I'll be honest with you: I have multiple thousands of dollars in medical bills to pay for my kidney stones (despite having insurance) and I need help, but I don't want to ruin my credit score by taking out a loan I can't pay back quickly. So the goal of the stream is to raise money in the name of paying them off without doing that. gently caress the US healthcare system.

I know it's taboo to talk about shilling for cashola on the forums but there's really no pressure to donate, I will survive with or without your money. I am not here or doing this solely to ask you to fund my life. I encourage you to just come hang out and support me as I destroy my body. There'll be a wide variety of stuff to watch and enjoy, from more Deadly Premonition to probably making a Doom map when I start getting sleepy.

I know the struggle. Boy, do I know it.

Medical bills, not the kidney stones.

Gonna clear up my schedule for this one.

Don't clear it yet, I sprained something in my shoulder and it's hurting real bad so I don't really feel like doing anything at the moment. If I don't feel any better by tomorrow I'll postpone it to next week. Will keep the thread updated.

edit: I am starting to think I am cursed, like I'm an ancient vessel for medical problems for all the people who don't get medical problems.

It's the ghost of Suda51 haunting you for dropping the Let it Die LP before it began.

Five bucks says Barry keeps that cardboard cutout of Alan Awake in his truck all the time so he can trick his way into carpool lanes.

The fact that these mental patients are portrayed as punchlines is really uncomfortable to watch. And why do game designers think it's funny to make jokes about game designers? None of the jokes are ever funny and they always come across as smug attacks on critics.

Holy poo poo, Alan is a monster for thinking that someone working in a mental institution "had it coming" when she was beaten to death by a patient. Also, like others have said, Alan smiling at the horrible death of another person is all the more reason to hate him. Whenever the main character in media is a writer the story is always about how hard the creative process is. I'm sick and tired of writers whining about "writers block" and the endless difficulties of their job. I'd really like it if just once there was a writer character who got called out for this poo poo. I don't want to watch/play something where a person with a job solely complains about that job.

I really appreciate how funny and entertaining CJacobs and Skippy have been because this game has a unlikable cast and boring gameplay, so without the two of them there'd be no reason to watch these videos. Such a shame that the Max Payne people fell so hard.

She didn't die. She's just severely injured.

Alan is an rear end in a top hat.

Question: in regards to the Twin Peaks watchalong, I'm allowed to watch up to the episode after your last write-up, correct? Because I just realized I have an itch, and the only thing that scratches it is more Twin Peaks.

Oh, you can watch ahead as many episodes as you want. There's 30 episodes of Twin Peaks, and even at 2 a week that's still like 4 months of watching the show so don't feel bad about not wanting to wait. If you want to go ahead of the watchalong that's fine, just don't spoil things for people who are sticking to the schedule.

That's the problem. I want to stick to the schedule, but I never realized just how engrossing this show was. I wanna find out who killed Laura Palmer!

CJacobs, I have already explained to you how I feel about the series, after having finally experienced it for the first time a few weeks ago: I'm hooked, and it's maddening. And with that, I can sympathize with your love of Lynch. And I still can't give you a good guess as to who killed Laura Palmer. Maybe White Coke was right, maybe it was the football.

Most of them require restarting your computer though so if we run into one on the stream it'll be red curtains for Deadly Premonition.

1) I could not tell this episode was not directed by Frost or Lynch. In my defense, I'm not personally familiar with their directing or writing style.

2) Being a small town in the middle of nowhere, I figure that bad habits are hard to fight. Look at what kind of people this town cultivates, like Leo, Hank, and Laura. So that's the kind of "evil" the Bookhouse Boys are trying to fight... Though I will say that it's fairly irresponsible for the sheriff, the effective deputy, and the good men in the town/show to be part of a... vigilante group. Because that's what I'm seeing, here.

3) I have gotten to a point in the show where I have actually yelled "Holy poo poo!" after seeing a new development pop up. Because seriously, holy poo poo.

These readings are great and make sense.

But what about the coffee thermoses?

Both an element to show homage to Twin Peaks, and something to collect for collection's sake.

This was a fun episode and Barry is just so endearing in that sort of way like he's your best buddy and you just wanna punch him a little bit in the face but you love him way too​much to do that so you at least settle for calling him a bastard.

Maybe I identify with Alan too much.

I can't take credit for it, no, just took an updated version for posterity.

Ah, okay.

Also, RE: the best episode, due to the combined efforts of your music video and your lack of hindsight, I'd have to say that this episode was the strongest one. I say this as a consumer of silly nerdy things on the internet, that the addition of silly awesome nerdy things to this episode has boosted it above the other. I can no longer be objective about this.

Quantum Break Lore: Time is an egg. Someone stuck their dick in the egg. The egg is now hosed.

CJacobs Lore: CJacobs is a good egg.

what does this imply for the entire stream just now?

Erotic fanfiction?

Voyeurism?

Whatever it implied, it's also a fact that I probably missed a good stream.

In my last year of college, my wisdom tooth grew in. It really sucked, but in the end, it wasn't impacting anything, so everything is okay.

That has nothing to do with what I'm dealing with right now, but I can tell you one thing: at least I'm not Alan Wake. Then things would definitely be worse.
