Don't Starve is the Greatest

Hello Everyone!  ^_^

I've been quite obsessed with Don't Starve lately.  It's a survival game on Steam with a dark atmosphere.  It also has a multiplayer version that automatically has the newest DLC added in.  I suppose it technically is still in Beta, but it's pretty easy to get.  Currently, you can buy the Frontier Pack through Steam, which comes with the base game, the multiplayer game, and a gift copy of the multiplayer game so you can actually play with someone.  Unfortunately, you still need to buy the DLC to play the base game plus DLC.

Reign of Giants DLC ($4.99): http://store.steampowered.com/app/282470/?snr=1_5_9__405

I suppose if you want all of them though, the best option is to just buy the MEGA pack, which has all of it for $22.99, but you can always just get the Frontier Pack to try it out and then add on the DLC if you like it.  Or just go all in with the MEGA Pack... XD

Let me know what you think of the game if you try it out.  I'm thinking of hosting a server so a bunch of people who love it can play together and just be random.  Or plan stuff out and be organized.  Both are fun.

I also wanted to suggest some resources to use when playing the game.  The site I use the most is the Don't Starve food simulator found here:

Simulator: https://dont-starve-food.googlecode.com/git/html/index.htm

You can choose what items to add to your virtual crock pot and then see what food item will be created.  It also tells you how much hunger, health, or sanity you gain; plus the percentage increase or decrease from the amount of the base items.  It is super helpful.  I have never made wet goop yet.  Some of these terms will become more understandable when you play the game as well.

Or you could check out the Wiki before you even play the game and learn what all this stuff is.  I don't recommend it, but you can also go to the Wiki after you start playing to get more information on certain things.  I check it almost every time I play for something or other.  There are also really helpful guides on things like Adventure Mode, Surviving Winter, and many more.

If you have any questions about the game though, you are welcome to post here or post a comment on one of my videos for me.  I will definitely respond and do my best to help.

Good luck not starving!  :D

Back into Streaming

Hello hello~

Just started streaming again today.  Started with Minecraft Modded.  Might have bit off more than I could gnash since my computer didn't seem to be able to play it well... still have no idea why, but that's what super smart computer geek friends are for!  In any case, I started out with FTB's Infinity Pack with about 160 mods, so I think I'll just try out one mod next time.  Although, it was EPIC to play Minecraft with so many new features.  I'm super excited about the glowing plants and all the extra achievements I can work towards.  Definitely can't wait to start growing new crops and cooking more in the game too XD  Ooo, and all the magic and stuff as well!  Very excited.

I am also leaning towards doing streams of Don't Starve again.  This game just never gets old to me.  I love the beginning stages the most.  Later game content isn't quite my favorite, but I should certainly work towards getting there eventually.  With Don't Starve Together Beta out now though I can just play the beginning stages over and over again.  I guess that's kind of what these kinds of games are about though.

Thanks for reading, and check out my first back-to-streaming video on my YouTube channel if you're interested.  Happy Friday!
