I've never done one of these before, but I had a lot on my mind at the typing of this, so sorry for the long post. TL;DR at the end.

===SPEEDRUNNING PLANS===

My current goal is to get a 2:02/2:03 in DKC3 103% before I move on to anything else. Truth be told, I am enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. This game is a decent challenge for me, seeing as my general movement in speedrunning has always been my weak point. After I meet my goal, I'll try to get at least a 50:xx time in Any% before I moved on to another game full time.

The Banjo-Tooie bingo tournament is still going strong (http://challonge.com/banjo1). I recently won my Winners' 2nd round match vs Dickhiskhan (2-1), however I felt my play to be lacking. This is too be expected, however, since I haven't played the game seriously since the 301% race back in late December. With that win, I *should* be able to get at least 4th place in this tournament if I play well from now on. I do feel most of my mistakes are due to forgetting general knowledge of the game outside of speedrunning (parts of levels accessible without certain moves, forgetting how to roar with the T-rex, etc.).

After I finish DKC3, I will likely move back to DKC2 to try to get at least a 42:xx in Any%, and also give 102% a try. The fastest version for 102% is 1.0 NTSC-J, which either requires me to buy a SNES, or inject on Wii-VC. I'm not a big fan of injecting a faster version of games onto VC that isn't already accessible on VC, so I will likely just run on WiiU-VC and take the time loss.

===STREAMING PLANS===

Lately, I have lost a lot of motivation for streaming. Even more so than before. Based on my performance on offline runs lately, I feel this is more of what I should do in the future. It helps me to stay more level headed while I play, and I don't feel like I'm trying to entertain people or making sure that I'm answering every message in chat.

If I'm just starting with a new category, it doesn't really bother me as much. However, grinding attempts just seems to frustrate me when I get distracted so easily by streaming. This is of course subject to the way I'm feeling that day, but for now, don't expect more than 1 speedrun stream a week from me unless I'm doing the Bingo Tournament.

===NON-SPEEDRUN PLANS===

Oddly enough, I do play a a decent amount of games outside of speedrunning. Most of them are Blizzard games. Around the end of this month, three of the games (Diablo 3, Overwatch, & Hearthstone) are either getting a new patch/season, or the game is coming out. This is going to take up a lot of my time over the next few months for sure, and I know my speedrunning will be severely reduced during this time. I don't really like to stream casual games that much, but now that I have a decent computer, it is something I have considered doing.

If you ever want to play a Blizzard game with me, I am always up for it. You can add me on battle.net with Konditioner#1442.

===TL;DR===

DKC3 103% Goal: 2:02/2:03
Bingo Tournament Goal: 4th place or better
DKC2 after DKC3
1 stream a week for the foreseeable future
Lot's of D3/HS/OW at the end of this month
