Stram n Stuff

I havent streamed much since I started going back to school about a year and a half ago. Tbh I didnt stream much before then either. I always seem to get caught up watching streams than streaming myself. I feel like I have done even less speedrunning since going back to school. I wont lie I lost a bit of interest since I didnt have much time to dedicate to it anymore and distanced myself a bit from the community. Between work and school it was hard to find time to do much of anything other than sleep. I was hoping that around the time of last SGDQ I would get motivated to get back into it, but that wasnt really the case. Honestly, getting SM 100% into AGDQ '15 wasnt enough to motivate me to play more. Not saying I didnt practice, but thats another story. However, after this past AGDQ I do feel motivated again to start doing more runs and learning more games.

I was streaming a few times a week the last couple of weeks leading up to AGDQ '16 and having fun doing it. I would like to get my stream going a little more consistently from here on out, but with the new semester starting tomorrow its hard to say now how much time Ill have. Itll mostly be speedruns, but Id like to do some casual stuff on stream as well. Not sure if Ill learn games on stream and since I play games pretty slow, I feel like most casual stuff would be boring to watch, but Ill probably stream whatever I feel like at the time.

Speedplans:
-As of now, Im playing SM again. Hundo comes first and my goal for now is either a 1:17 or 1:16. Dont know right now how far I want to push it but well see how easy or hard it comes.
-After hundo I want to revist any% and bring my time down. Again, I dont know what my goal will be here but at least a 45. Id like to get a top 10 time, but a low 44/43 is really pushing it since Ive never had a whole lot of interest in any%.
-Since hundo is a bit of a longer run Ill probably be doing Hagane runs when I dont feel like playing SM. I know I can get the record with good luck and play, so thats my goal. I have never played this game for more than like a week at a time so if I can get consistent runs going I know I can finally get a solid run.
-After SM I want to revisit SoTn and improve my times. This is another game that I never really had consistent runs in. If I put in the time I know I can improve my times by a decent amount.
-I plan on doing Mischief Makers for Goldens 12 Hour Challenge, thanks to those that voted, but I dont know how much I will play it after. It is a game I have had on my speedlist for a long time and we will see how much I enjoy/dislike it.
-Aside from that I dont know what games I want to run, but I have a list on my twitch page of games I have interest in. I do want to revisit basically every other game Ive run and improve my times a bit.
-I also have a game that I want to route since I havent seen any speedruns of it, but thats a mystery/meme run.

As far as casual games I want to playthrough on stream I only have 2 right now: Banjo Tooie and Phantom Dust. Ive never played BT and I never finished Phantom Dust, but had fun playing it a while ago(possible run?). My backlog is pretty extensive, so theres no shortage of other games for me to playthrough for the first time.

As of now it doesnt look like Ill be able to make it to SGDQ. I plan on taking summer classes so I can finish my degree at the end of the year. Since itll be in Minnesota again I may be able to drive out for the ending weekend, but its so far off and there are so many unknowns right now that its very questionable if ill be able to make it.

Thats it. Thanks for reading my update. If you didnt get enough buts while reading this here are a few more butbutbutbutbutbutbutbutbut.
