2020 Recap and Plans for 2021

Happy New Years!  As is customary for me, every year I go back through my Youtube progress and calculate how productive my year was on Youtube, calculating my livestreams and published videos and logging how many and when.  And when looking back at 2020, I had a very unproductive year at first glance.  But 2020 was a very behind the scenes year and after examining all of the behind the scenes stuff, it was very productive.

For starters, I released a video about COPPA, which took effect in early 2020.  This unfortunately made all of my videos (except a scant few) fall under "for kids", meaning limited searching and no comments.  Thankfully, the response to that video was very productive.

However, that video was an offshoot of a huge project that my best friend and I spent a lot of valuable time and resources on.  Starting in late December 2019, we recorded 8 or 9 podcasts with the intent to edit them for clarity and release them to the public.  The project was called Don and Jerry with a goal on creating a podcast and videos on a separate channel.  With his help, we created a successful discord, edit roughly four of those podcasts together, create a discord exclusive preview and publish three video game playthroughs for our brand new Youtube Channel.  Don and I worked hard planning, recording, editing and creating for three months to get this done but unfortunately life got in the way.

A tragedy happened in February which you can read partially about on my new poem: A Girl Named Frank.  At the same time, I was diagnosed with tinnitus, which halted my ability to listen to the podcast and edit.  Around this time, I did record a couple of new videos (Mega Man X2, Lion King, GTA Liberty City Stories) but though I finished the first two, I never got my editor to work.  I chalked it up to lack of memory and put them to the side.

Fast forward a month and my tinnitus is starting to get better.  I started a Resident Evil Challenge on Mixer (as my computer stopped letting me livestream due to memory issues) and managed to beat RE0-4 as well as CVX and most of 5 before getting severely burnt out.  I also streamed most of Gears of War but I wanted something different.

I chose Super Mario Galaxy.  I started it up on my Wii U and started recording the walkthrough and to my surprise, it worked.  I managed to record all 242 stars over the course of the month and began editing them.  Unfortunately for me, my video editor still didn't want to work.

That's when it happened.  My computer's hard drive started failing.  Thankfully, I got a great new one which allows me to livestream, record and edit again.  And throughout October, November and December, I edited the 250+ videos into manageable parts, timestamped everything and created custom titles, editing them down into 70 separate videos.  This was by FAR my biggest project ever for the channel and the most time consuming, taking me nearly six months to finish.  While I am sad that I didn't get it out before September when Super Mario Galaxy was announced for rerelease, it's still done and I'm very proud of the result.  I may start SMG2 soon but I want to do a few other videos first, such as editing the numerous unedited videos on my hard drive.

I did manage to livestream quite a few more times though, streaming Story of Seasons FOMT remake and Portal but unfortunately I didn't get a lot of edited walkthroughs up (though I did manage to get a few that had been unlisted for a while).  And though I finally got my 1000 subscribers last year, I wasn't able to celebrate it much.

That's why this year, I'm cracking down.  It's gonna start with making sure the timestamps on my videos are correct and there.  You may have already noticed I've been doing this throughout today, fixing a lot of the timestamps and adding them as necessary.  This is due to Youtube's new Chapter feature, which really helps with my longform walkthroughs.  By making sure these timestamps are correct and on there, I can facilitate your viewing and make it easy to play along no matter which platform you're on.

I also plan to record a bunch of new walkthroughs starting with Phoenix Wright.  I recorded it a total of three times so far but each time video corruption reared it's head (or I wasn't a fan of the final output).  However, no more.  I got the game on Steam and I can run it smoothly, which will allow me to record it perfectly as I intend to.  I also want to finish more Zelda games as well as the remaining classic Castlevania games.  I also want to re-edit Dragon Quest 1's walkthrough to remove the random encounters and finish DQ3's walkthrough as well as a few Final Fantasies.  I really hope to follow through with this and make 2021 a much better year.

FC-16 Go Compatibility List

I recently came across an interesting device: the FC-16 Go. What is it you may ask? It's a portable SNES made by Yobo. But wait! There's more. You can also hook it up to the TV using the included cords and use the included wireless controllers to play it on the big screen. One thing I was curious about, however, was the compatibility of the system. Being third party, I was wary of which games may and may not work. I attempted to find a compatibility list with no luck. Now that the device is in my possession, I'm going to attempt to create one. Below are games I have tested and their compatibility with the system.

COMPATIBLE:





  • Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Rampage


  • Chuck Rock


  • Chrono Trigger*


  • Donkey Kong Country 2*


  • Dragon Quest I + II (Japanese import)**


  • Dragon Quest III (Japanese import)**


  • Dragon Quest V (Japanese import)**
  • Dragon Quest VI (Japanese import)**

  • Earthbound*


  • Earthworm Jim 2


  • Final Fantasy II*


  • Final Fantasy III*


  • Hardball III


  • Harvest Moon*


  • Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past*


  • Mario Paint***


  • Simcity*


  • Super Mario All Stars****


  • Super Mario All Stars + World*


  • Super Mario Kart**


  • Super Mario World*


  • Tetris Attack


SEMI COMPATIBLE


  • Game Genie (It works but I've noticed it will auto press Start sometimes)



NOT COMPATIBLE





  • Super Mario RPG (Hangs on black screen/garbled images)



*Be cautious when playing games with battery backed saves on this console. I had the misfortune of losing all my Final Fantasy II saves because I set it down a little too roughly, which jarred the cartridge and glitched the game, deleting my save files.



**Must have a convertor or cut the pins on the device (strongly advise against this as this makes the cartridge more susceptible to movement. Read above warning for more info on what happens).



***Runs perfectly but cannot play due to lack of controller ports for mouse or wireless mouse.



****Not tested but assumed it works, due to the "bonus game" version working perfectly.

The Ultimate List of Work (Planned and Complete)

Welcome one and all to the 100% complete and ultimate list: the list of all my planned and completed work! This list lists every piece of published work currently online, including links and mini descriptions of the work. Below that, you'll find our 100% authentic restaurant-quality list of planned projects. Keep in mind, however, that this list is mostly for myself and that they may take a while to reach stores near you, if ever. So don't hold your breath because they may never come out. Also, I realize that you may recognize a few of the games on the list as being heavily covered by other users. I realize this, but I'd like to try it for myself, if nothing else thank you. If it's currently in production, we'll keep you updated with a tab of how far along it is! It slices and dices! Pow! Now, without further ado, the list.

Let's Play The Great Waldo Search Novice & Expert

Well, our newest Let's Play has been on the internet for quite some time as well and was not planned either: The Great Waldo Search for Sega Genesis! This actually came about because I was testing out features and messing with codecs and since this game was rather short, I decided to make a let's play out of it, testing out the codecs and the new features at the same time.

It's a rather horrible game and quite short, only two parts (would have been one but went slightly over 10 minutes): the first is the Novice difficulty of the game, while the second is the Expert difficulty.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading and watching another of my Let's Play videos.

NOVICE DIFFICULTY:


EXPERT DIFFICULTY:

Let's Play Super Mario World Co-Op Parts 31, 32, 33, 34, 35

Well, although we never entended to do a 100% walkthrough for Super Mario World, here it is in full: the last five parts to the video, taking us through the 96th exit and the ending! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching and we'll see you in our next video walkthrough, which will most likely still not be the one I've had planned. Thanks again!

Well, the next five parts are online. This series has been giving me quite the trouble, with Youtube messing up the uploads and the videos screwing up.

Let's Play Super Mario World Co-Op Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Just wanted to let you know that the newest Jerrynsteph4eva video is a Co-Op Let's Play of Super Mario World! This wasn't intended as the next video series, but rather came about as a random idea. Steph was craving another playthrough of Super Mario World (one of our favorites) and I suggested that we record it this time. She agreed and so we began recording it. We're not exactly the best at the game, nor are we intending to beat the game to 100%, but we figured why not? So we fired it up, me being Mario and Steph being Luigi and began to play through what would be the next video series. A nice thing about these videos is that they take a lot less time to convert for upload, which is means putting them online a lot faster. Below are the videos uploaded so far:

Pac-Man World 2/Pac-Man Vs. Review for the Gamecube

Anyone can tell you who Pac-Man is. Pac-Man was the undisputed king of games in the early eighties. He not only revolutionized gaming, he created a brand new genre and went down in history as one of the most revolutionary games of all time. Pretty much every gamer has fond memories of eating yellow dots and avoiding ghosts. However, times have changed and gaming is no longer the same as the days of the arcades. The real question is as follows: how does Pac-Man stand up in the current generation? The short answer? Pretty good, though don't expect any more revolutions out of this one.

Pac-Man World 2 is not your father's Pac-Man game. When I read the box, I was surprised to find that Pac-Man was no longer chomping up edible dots in mazes anymore but rather staring in his on 3D platformer. Does Pac-Man make the transition well? Yes, but like I said earlier, there's nothing in this game that will revolutionize the industry again. What it does do, however, is blend classic Pac-Man with the style you'll see in newer Mario/Sonic style games. And it manages to do a good job at that. Plus with some goodies like unlockable arcade games and (if you've got yourself a copy of the Player's Choice edition) Pac-Man Vs, this game will keep you occupied for a good while.

The graphics are between good and mediocre. Nothing really shines in this game, but the colors are well done and the envoriments are well put together, which set the mood pretty well. Then again, it's based on a game where the main character was 3/4 of a circle so to see it come this far is pretty neat, though compared to other games on the Gamecube, there's nothing out there to set it apart.

Most of the games sounds come from the 80s arcade game, though there are a few exceptions. Pretty much anything you could do in the old games that you can do in this one retains it's old sound (eating dots, power pellets, ghosts turning blue, etc.). It's mostly for nostalgia, but I couldn't imagine it being any other way. The new sounds accurately describe the action you're doing, though some can get annoying after a while (I find myself growing tired of the Tom Tom Butt Bounce sound after so long). The music's pretty much the same story: overall they're great pieces, though some will really wear on you after playing for a good amount of time.

The story is pretty mediocre to sub-par. Those miscreant ghosts manage to sneak into Pac-Village at night and steal the mystic gold fruit off of the village tree, which somehow awakens an ancient demon sealed by the fruit. Promising to eradicate the Pac-People, the ghosts follow "Spooky", each taking a fruit. Pac-Man, awaking from his slumber, hears the plight from Professor Pac and decides to save the world from Spooky. Nothing epic but this is a platformer, so it's pretty average.

Again, the real question however is how does the game play? I think the game's a blast, though you won't find anything totally new if you're a platformer buff. The game combines classic Pac-Man with the 3D platformer genre with pretty good results. You explore 3D worlds, collecting fruit, tokens and Pac-Dots, attempting to reach the end. Each level can be accessed through the world map, which you unlock more of by playing through levels. After every three levels, you face a boss and move to another world with a different theme. Like I said, nothing revolutionary but is it fun?

Yes. Yes it is. The worlds each keep a central theme, but manage to mix it up enough to keep it interesting. Throughout each world, there's a number of hidden fruit (which will pop up if you manage to find all of a certain kind), as well as a number of Pac-Dots. Though a lot of these are out in the open, you may have to do some searching to find all of them for a 100% rating. In this way, it still keeps a classic Pac-Man feel to it, while keeping you interested and playing for a while (though it's pretty hard to get to 100%). Also hidden in the game are tokens, which by collecting certain amounts unlock various tidbits, including FOUR classic Pac-Man games: Pac-Man, Pac-Attack, Pac-Mania and Ms. Pac-Man. Though it can take a while to unlock them, the fact that they went through the trouble to put the classics in the game is a really cool feature and almost worth the price of the game alone.

Pac-Man is given few abilities to explore and kill enemies (though the ghosts have to be killed the old fashioned way: Power Pellets and eat them), though they're useful and it's somewhat nice not to be bogged down with useless abilities. He has the Rev Roll (which lets him fly up ramps) and the Butt Bounce (which smashes crates and heads alike). Although you don't learn any later, there aren't any points where you feel like you need any.

One of the things I dislike about this game is the way they baby you through. Although the game is heavily geared towards the older generation who grew up with him, the game practically tells you what to do for most of it. Heck, even the instruction manual explains what a "level" means in gaming. Though you expect most games to do this in the beginning so you get the hang of it, there are instances of it thoughout the game and it almost feels insulting to the platformer lover. It may be good if you're new to the genre, though the game is a tad difficult for those who are new. Even so, walking into the boss and having Pac-Man detail the steps to beating it is a bit on the annoying side.

Another thing that can be disappointing is the length. If you're going for 100%, it'll be quite the trip but if you don't feel like taking out a magnifing glass and detailing every level, this game can be beaten in a matter of hours. It's length is more in the exploration you have to do to 100% the game, which will keep you coming back to this game, though if you're not much of an explorer/collector, you may not get the most from this game.

As an added bonus, if you're purchasing the Player's Choice edition of the game, you'll get Pac-Man Vs bundled in free. It's pretty much the same Pac-Man you know with a twist: your friends play as the ghosts! You have to have a GBA and a link cable to do it, but it's an absolute blast. One person plays as Pac-Man on the GBA in classic maze style, while up to three people can play as the ghosts in a clouded 3D version of the maze. If one of the ghosts happens to catch Pac-Man, the players trade off who plays as Pac-Man until you reach a certain amount of points. Plus it's all narrarated by the man himself: Mario! This game is a blast and will keep you and your friends entertained.

Overall, I recommend this game to any fan of Platformers, even if you've been skipping out on the newer games. It may not be the newest, biggest, baddest kid on the block but it's worth the money, if nothing else, for the four classic games and Pac-Man Vs. It may feel anachronistic at times, but it'll keep you entertained.

Test Video Uploaded

For those of you interested in how the videos from my new capture card look, I've uploaded a test video on YouTube of me failing out of TTFAF at 1%. It was a forced failure and meant to be funny (as everyone and their mom has to have videos of TTFAF on YouTube if they're a guitar hero player).




The quailty is fair to poor, but it opens up worlds to the games I can cover. Hope you found it funny.

Thanks for reading and watching.
