RetroChallengeGamer

This channel is dedicated to playing games I've enjoyed over the years from a variety of consoles to include the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 1 & 2, and PC games. The general gist is to make things interesting for myself for games I've loved by imposing restrictions thus creating artificial challenges for each game. Feel free to try the challenge alongside me and suggest new ones!

Since my Breath of the Wild challenge run was a bit lackluster in originality or difficulty, I figured I'd up the ante a bit for its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, after much thought, here is what I believe I'll be doing:

- No Champion Spirits Allowed
- Fast Travel MUST Require the Loss of 1 Large Zonai Charge (1 exception is Rauru when he requires you to warp back to the start at the beginning.)
- Can Only Fast Travel to Skyview Towers or Up to 1 Travel Medallion Spot
- If Autobuild, Only Yiga Schematics Allowed
- No Self Fused Weapons/Shields
- Found Prefused Weapons Allowed
- Only Elemental Fused Arrows Allowed (fire/ice/shock/splash fruit + bomb flower)
- No Environmental Cancelling Armor Sets Allowed
- 3 Square Meals a Day + 2 Snacks or Lose (insert: something) - haven't figured this fully out yet!
- Can Only Eat Cooked Food Outside of Battle and for Main Meals. Snacks can be Uncooked Food Outside of Battle.
- Elixirs Only During Battle
- Can Only Acquire One Blessing per Armor Type per Great Fairy. (Max of 4 upgrades for one helmet or spread it across 4 helmets, etc. - same for tunic and trousers.)
- Must Acquire All Memories in Order
- Must Defeat All Major Bosses

So... what do you think? Would this make the game more interesting? :D

How are people liking these small Let's Play highlight snippets? Is it fun to revisit some fun or key commentary moments? Do you recall a specific moment in the past that was memorable or funny that I should make a clip out of? I've done so much, I can't remember every single highlight!

Due to family concerns and private matters, I will not be in a positive head space to be doing a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Friday Night Quickie this week. I just don't feel it appropriate at this time. Apologies and hope everyone has a great weekend coming up!

With 96 tracks now out and released for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I am in the works of making a tier list myself! However, due to the extended nature of it and my laptop's lack of raw power, it'll need to be split up into sections! That's probably for the best right? About 12 videos of about 20-30 minutes each instead of a 6 hour long video? My computer probably couldn't handle that render anyway! Look forward to it soon after all my Booster Pass track blind runs get finished! Coming soon!

I've never played Skyrim except but one short time back in 2012 on a friend's console. I don't even believe I fought a single dragon or got a shout back then. It'll be a blind, new playthrough experience for me! I plan to fully get into it and do as much as I can now that I finally bought Skyrim: Special Edition for the PC! What sort of player build should I do? Stealth based? Magic based? Combat based? Choose for me below and tell me which class you'd like in that build. I will be streaming later this year, 2023!

Combat: Scout, Rogue, Archer, Knight, Barbarian, Warrior, Crusader
Stealth: Acrobat, Agent, Thief, Monk, Pilgrim, Bard, Assassin
Magic: Witchhunter, Sorcerer, BattleMage, Spellsword, Mage, Healer, Nightblade

It's ridiculous when you have so much content recorded and backlogged that you got scheduled videos uploaded and pending all the way up to July, and you're still not halfway done with all the videos you've yet to upload. 2023 is going to be a full year of videos, but it won't be necessarily things recorded 'recently' if you get what I mean. I also just can't upload and release them all at once either or that'll bury my channel in the algorithm since it tends to like regular release schedules rather than bulk uploads. Can't win them all.

At the end of the day though, I'm just doing this for fun and I hope you're enjoying them with me. :)

After my current play series of Final Fantasy VIII and Horizon Zero Dawn - which of these four upcoming planned (and currently being recorded) games would like you to see posted first on my channel?
