As some of you know by now, I hit over 3000 followers on TwitchTV a few weeks back during my Minecraft 1.0 Release party. Before that my good friend SolidBeef told me of making an entire weekend devoted to playing multiplayer games with viewers, and so I decided I would do that for 3000 followers. Next weekend (starting on Thursday, December 15th), I will be kicking off the weekend of my 3000 follower multiplayer extravaganza, lasting until Saturday, December 17th.
So what are the plans for these days? Let's take a look day by day of what I'm planning for those days (schedule/times/games subject to change.)
Thursday, December 15th - Console Games(8PM EST - ~2AM EST)
Modern Warfare 3 (Xbox 360)
Battlefield 3 (Xbox 360)
Random XBLA Arcade Games (Castle Crashers, Splosion Man, etc)
Uncharted 3 Multiplayer (PS3)
Rock Band 3 (PS3/Xbox 360)
(AC: Revelations/Brotherhood, Red Dead Redemption if enough people/time) (Xbox 360)
Friday, December 16th - PC Games(5PM EST - ~12AM EST)
Team Fortress 2
Portal 2 Co-Op Chambers (Chatia12 at 7PM EST, Mournless After, Need 3 more people)
Left 4 Dead 2

(Monday Night Combat, Dungeon Defenders, Dead Island, Borderland if enough people/time)
Saturday, December 17th - Minecraft Open Server (1PM EST - ~1AM EST)

So there you have it, the tentative schedule for the marathon! Obviously the PC night could be shorter or longer, same with console night, and we may go back and forth in some cases! Regardless, it should be an EPIC time for sure!

Semi-Week in Review, Semi-Changes to the Cast
Since my last blog post, it's been a pretty awesome week of casting and streaming and having a great time. Finally knocked God of War II out of the way, becoming better at IndustrialCraft/Buildcraft, and trolololing viewers with my 3500 follower "celebration." If you missed it, here's a look:
Watch live video from Bringing the Ruckus! on Justin.tv
With that out of the way, I'd like to talk about some changes I'm doing with the cast. I already started by updating my rules a bit, making them clearer and hopefully easier to read and understand. Here are a few other things:
Minecraft Mod Spotlight
As you all know, I'm a HUGE Minecraft nut, but up until recently I've only ever tried vanilla MC, that is to say I never installed any mods on it. Now that I have tried IndustrialCraft2 and Buildcraft and have fallen in love with them, I'd like to do an extensive look at other mods in a weekly cast where I try out one or two new mods. I will be starting this Thursday, and it will be done every Thursday until mid January, when I go back to school. Once I figure out my schedule I'll figure out a new day and time to do it. To get started for this week, simply send me a PM on JTV or TwitchTV with a link to the mod you want me to try out, and the most suggested one will be the one I try out first!
Moobot
This is still something I'm unsure of, and will discuss with my mods and trusted viewers about whether or not to implement it. Having it would be a huge help though for certain casts/commands/links.
Rock Band Request Helpers
Similar in vein to the Minecraft Mod Spotlight, I will also be taking suggestions for what songs I should be playing on Rock Band. Too many times I've had someone ask if I have a song in Rock Band that they enjoy on the game, but I don't have because I've overlooked it or never heard it. Once I figure out a website suitable for suggestions, I will be posting that on my channel and perhaps have Moobot help with it. If anyone is generous enough to donate points and then tell me what songs to buy with those points, I will also have a special thank you section for everyone that's donated towards it, such as Booooohjoke did back in March.
Miscellaneous
Because I am a TwitchTV partner now, I do earn ad revenue, and with that revenue I'd like to do things for the cast. My vision is to do two things with it: buy something for the cast(new game/3D Intro/Cast Equipment); and do some sort of giveaway. If there is a new game coming out and you guys want me to play it on cast on release day, I will use some of the revenue to do so. Then whatever money is left in a month will be used for giveaways of games, whether that's Minecraft codes, soundtracks, or Steam games. I also want to make my channel a bit cleaner, as I'm still not fully satisfied with it. Hopefully with the ad revenue I can use that to commission an intro for the channel and for a song that Big Giant Circles will hopefully composed.
Yes a long blog post, but it's worth the read I assure you, and I will be spamming this in my stream for the next few days to make sure everyone catches up to speed. I have to once again thank ALL of you for the support, without it I'd just be a guy playing games on my couch alone :P
