Hello
Gamecube Thing is the quest to beat (mostly) every gamecube game, streamed live at twitch.tv/tapioca. After each game, five random games are rolled and a poll is held in chat to vote on what gets played next! Every fifth poll is populated by suggestions from the chat. After finishing, I plan to do this again with every xbox game.
Some Rules
- NA releases only, plus some JP & PAL stuff that looks interesting
- Sequels can't be played until their previous game has been played
- Retro game collections will be handled by playing through one of the games
- Gamefaqs is allowed
- I have the right to define and re-define "beating the game" as necessary
Stuff I Won't Play
- Sports Trash - Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K, etc. Extreme sports games and some others will be played.
- Karaoke Revolution Party - I am not going to sing on stream, sorry.
- Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life - Identical to Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, which I will play.
- Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II - Identical to PSO Ep 1&2 Plus, which I will play.
- Pokemon Box - Not a real game. Yes I know it can play gen 3, that doesn't count.
Infrequently Asked Questions
- I will be getting the true ending in Shadow the Hedgehog. It requires 10 playthroughs.
- The Sims 2 Pets will be played by entering a dog in a contest and winning, since it has no story.
- Animal Crossing will be played by dealing with the first debt and probably nothing else. All debts is a very long goal and also not a real ending to the game, and the method to speed it up isn't interesting.
- Super Smash Bros Melee will be played by beating every event match, unlocking all characters and stages. I have prepped a save file with nothing unlocked but enough playtime to get Mewtwo, so no idling will be needed.
- Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life has a definitive ending to reach. Magical Melody does not, we will have to get creative.
- The Game Boy Player disc will be played. I'll play through at least one GBA game.
- Phantasy Star Online can be played 100% offline. I don't own a gamecube modem but it's fine.
- The Sims series on console are entirely different games than the PC ones, and each has a story mode to beat.
- DDR Mario Mix (and MC Groovz Dance Craze) will be played with the dance pad. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (and Donkey Konga 1-3) will be played with the bongos. Mario Party 6&7 and Odama will be played with the microphone.
