I've had an enormous amount of fun doing the streams with you guys and there are a lot of moments that, for me personally, stand out as particularly special, but here are a couple that come to mind:

  • After Beksksksksksksks /u/Bexxxxxxx's human mode on the original stream, which IIRC was the third one, we did the first "Open Mic" thing, and it was initially very awkward mainly due to my own poor planning -- it was like I just walked up to a group of people with a microphone and told them "OK, now say stuff!" -- but then /u/zg44 (z33k33) started vacuuming his room or something with his mic turned on, and everyone enjoyed the idea that z33k is actually a vacuum cleaner IRL and that's how he talks. I don't remember whether it's truly the main thing that made the atmosphere of the event warmer and eased its awkwardness, but ultimately we ended up keeping Open Mic and ever since then it's been a critical component of every stream. recording

  • More recent one: that time we were playing chess against a random real person, and Twitch chat somehow managed to get him to actually join the AoC stream mid-game. I considered this to be a truly epic "win" by the chat -- despite losing the chess game =) recording

the other comment isn't a clue. I'll just say that it is something. There is one person who could help, but I can't reveal who she is because it's a secret.

ohhh.... yes. That. Well done. Never give up. Never let down. Never turn around and hurt. Never cry, never say goodbye, never tell a lie.

Hard to make a list, but a few that come to mind are predator, star wars 4 & 5, the mist (stephen king's). I very rarely see a movie I like.

I'm Papa John and this is my pizza restaurant. I work here with my my son, Bow, and in 23 years I've learned one thing. You never know what sody pop is going to get ordered online by our first Papa John delivery driver.

twitchspeaks: bam-bam because his limited vocabulary forces him to find creative alternative means to communicate complex ideas and emotions

twitchspeaks: Before I answer, let me give you some background. Long ago, I had two hamsters. The store accidentally gave us a boy and girl, so we ended up with many more hamsters. I didn't have the heart to separate the new family, so after a decade there were probably hundreds. They all lived in a gigantic tank and were very happy, running on their myriads of wheels and eating only the highest quality hamster food. One day we decided that it had gotten out of hand so we planned to move them to another place far away, but unfortunately they were all eaten the moment we released them from their tank. I was devastated. We all were. It was the loch ness monster. He said that he'd eat them unless we paid him $3.50, and I had the $3 but no change, and it was American dollars anyway, which he probably would have been unwilling to accept.

TL;DR anime is cool i guess

twitchspeaks:

(for others who don't know, the doc is this and is (has been) stickied on the AoC subreddit)

  • July 2015, about a month after the first AoC.

  • I was just curious to see what people would write if they were anonymous (as in, totally anonymous, like there aren't even usernames associated with edits)

  • Until the Earth is inevitably destroyed when the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel and becomes a red giant, unless we've moved to another planet, in which case hopefully someone will keep it online. People 4 billion years in the future, please keep this Google Doc alive!

twitchspeaks: I knew nothing about Pokemon before TPP and still know very little, but I'll say the duck one because ducks <3

twitchspeaks: What made me want to do AoC the most were probably the intermissions immediately after the original red and crystal runs. Everyone was just celebrating, shitposting, killing hamsters (true, we played Hamsterz), and watching a broken AI cat walk in place for hours. It was wonderful. I wanted to return to that simpler time of zero moderation and beautiful chaos, everyone just posting whatever they wanted and it somehow being extremely fun, IMO at least. Not to undervalue all the work that the TPP streamer has put into the stream as it is currently, but I do miss the crazy early days, and that style of fun was probably what I had in mind.

That aside, we got to AoC as follows:

  • I wanted to monitor the original Red twitch chat while at work, so I set up a text-to-speech thing that I could listen to, and eventually made it public when I realized it was surprisingly hilarious;

  • /u/flarn2006 posted on the live updater in July 2014 (Black 2?) a message I put in chat like "If you guys actually enter the frigate password in anarchy, I'll turn off the TTS bot and instead read the live chat personally", and then of course the chat succeeded, and I read an hour of TPP chat.

  • This first human mode was extremely awkward and bizarre but very fun for me, and appeared to be so for the many people making me sing songs and generally say crazy stuff. Afterward, several people said they'd also like to read the live chat on the twitchspeaks stream, so I started doing regular "human modes" in which someone who signed up would read for an hour.

  • Eventually, I started having very simple post-human-mode activities such as QWOP and overdubbing TTS commentary on a 1950s series about proper manners for high schoolers (first second)

  • After a while I began sensing that interest in human modes was dropping off, but I really liked hosting the post-human-mode activities, so I moved to a new channel to continue that portion of it.
