Hmm, Sirena Beach, Episode 3 - Mysterious Hotel Delfino from mario's sunshine. It's hard to explain really if you didn't see it but in overall it took almost 45 minutes just to do it. Tom was lost, chat and co-host were completly confused, and the game was incooperative, it was really funny

1: When did you first start coming to the stream?

During the Mega Man marathon.

2. How did you find it?

I actually came across Tom's EarthBound medley on YouTube a day or two before the marathon. Then I saw the GoNintendo article. The same day I saw Tom's YouTube vid advertising it.

When did you first start coming to the stream?

I started right around the MegaManX marathon.


How did you find it?

I went through the MegaManX Marathon link on Youtube.


What is your earliest memory of the stream?

Tom was downloading World of Goo, and it was taking him a long time because he had the stream running. Then, he played it for a while. He got stuck on Ivy Towers, and everyone was trying to help him. It was chaotic. I had browsed through the rules, but somehow missed the no links clause. I made a diagram of what he needed to do in MSPaint, then uploaded it to imageshack. Upon putting it in the chat, I was banned. I waited the ban out, then joined back in afterwards. He never did beat that level on camera. Anyway, I tuned in the next day off and on for the marathon, and I've been visiting intermittently ever since.

What are your favorite things about this stream?

I love the atmosphere of the stream, most of the time. I like the crazy things that we do sometimes, like American Idol. I probably wouldn't watch American Idol there days, but the stream brings new life to it.

Any memorable moments you would like to share?

Not at the moment. Maybe, after I've been here a bit more I'll have something definate.

no just no

1: When did you first start coming to the stream?

September 2008

2. How did you find it?

After I beat MM9 (the day it came out), I went browsing the forums on GameFAQs to see what other people thought of it. Someone made a post saying he was streaming himself playing the game. The thought that went through my head was "I can watch someone else die in all the same places I did? Sweet." Later, someone posted in the topic that some other guy called TomBobBlender was also streaming MM9. The thought went through my head was "I can watch TWO people die in the same places I did? Sweet." The other guy stopped streaming after awhile, but Tom kept going. I browsed around the page and noticed the schedule saying he played games daily, and thought it might be fun to stick around.

3. What is your earliest memory of the stream?

Mega Man 9. Also, thinking Banondorf was an extremely arrogant person and wanting to tell him to stop being a jerk, and wondering why people kept egging him on by addressing him as "lord".

4. What are your favorite things about this stream?

Fun, interesting community, and it's like watching TV except not scripted and more interesting. It's a lot better than watching Youtube videos of games because people usually only record their successes, whereas live streaming includes the defeats as well, which makes it more real.

5. Any memorable moments you would like to share?

Everybody freaking out and going "The watcher speaks!" "You're not a bot?" and so on every time I talked for the first month or so. Also, when one of the cohosts (Smashdude, maybe? I'm not certain) said everything I say is worthwhile. That was a very nice compliment.

well i was looking up "gaming" in the search bar and saw yours as most views. so there we go.

3. What is your earliest memory of the stream?

Being called a "noob" by CYI what a bi- i mean what a meanie..... but within 5 days that changed because i knew most of the rules. Also, irony enough is that my first ban was for cussing. Which is what i still mostly get banned for a habit i supose.

4. What are your favorite things about this stream?

Well i would have to say game over. Its where i can be rebelious and do what i want nah just joking, its just more fun to watch you get to know who the true fans of the stream are, the ones that stay up til 4 am watching tom play a game or to watch tom play kid icarus again.... I mainly think that the true fans stay after game over, the ones who just come for wiiplay are kinda just there to watch tom play a game they like, but then after game over is where all the fun happens, and ussually by 4 am i only see about 14 people online not including mods.

5. Any memorable moments you would like to share?
hmmm most memorable moment... the first time me and yuki co hosted together and tom lost all manors all together and out of nowhere he just says "ooooo i got rice pudding!!!" then you hear loud slurps and om noms. Ever since then if i have the time i'll just do that to him remind tom of the loss of manors he obtains when eating rice pudding. Oh and another one was when tom was a light weight to staying up late and he almost went crazy when i co hosted, and he keep adding your mom to the front of everything the chat or i said. Such as, "i'm getting tired" your moms getting tired!

When did you first start coming to the stream?

About early January 2009

1: When did you first start coming to the stream?
When Tom was doing the Mega Man X marathon. I signed up and couldn't stop watching.

2. How did you find it?
I think he mentioned it on youtube last summer. I checked it out and nobody was on. I left and didn't come back around till he mentioned the MMX marathon in December!

3. What is your earliest memory of the stream?
Tom had defeated Colonel and gotten to Iris in MMX4 during the marathon. Everybody mocked the "What am I fighting fooooooor" bit.

4. What are your favorite things about this stream?
Tom's commentary, interactions with the chat, and reactions are priceless.

5. Any memorable moments you would like to share?
Probably the 2nd time I ever got to cohost. Tom was getting annoyed by DKC3, then Bjorn had put me on the spot and I had to sing the oreo song right before we went to break. I messed up and so did Bjorn which made Tom say we had ruined his night. (jokingly)

Wow, my first visit:
My first visit was August 15, 2008. I remember it very well as the day Tom recorded bird bombing. He was going through the sky level, towards the end just before the second hookshot, and he was shooting bomb arrows at evil birds. I laughed hard. At this time, I was only a ustreamer as I had no ustream account. I had just randomly clicked the stream link in one of his youtube videos. I remember joining the chat and shipguy was playing the "white text game". I decided to join in by guessing what he was saying. The people were very nice and friendly. It was quiet, there were few users, but that's what made it nice; The simplicity. It was amazing. The stream was just a symbol of a fresh and bountiful start with new findings and pure innocence. The lack of people allowed for us to go beyond the bounds of the current stream rules. As people started to gather in, Tom added more and more to Banondorf to keep the chat in check, but he still needed ops to keep Banon in check. I seemed to know the chat pretty well and I understood the rules and it wasn't long before I was approached by Tom with the job offering of chanop. I accepted, of course, and that's how I am here today.

I guess I've gone a bit outside of the topic, but I think people should know my full origin rather than a summary of my first visit. I do believe I've changed since then, but I don't think my overall character has. I strive to be a user of the chatroom and not an authoritative powerhouse. It's too bad not all of you could have been there at the start.

When did you first start coming to the stream?
*Early September... I don't think it was so populated yet.


How did you find it?
*I was surfing through my subscribers on youtube. I clicked on Tom's account and saw a link in his channel description. I clicked it and here I aaaam.

What is your earliest memory of the stream?
It was Game Over and Smashdude was cohosting. I didn't even know what a live stream was. So thinking that the stream was actually a video, I paused it. Then people kept telling me to unmute the stream and then someone (i think it was starfox1995) told me to unpause it. I felt so dumb x_x

What are your favorite things about this stream?
That Tom can always make EVERYTHING fun.


Any memorable moments you would like to share?
The early days... That's all I gotta say...

1: When did you first start coming to the stream?
August 2008, I came onto stream on the death of the TbbBot, and the birth of Banondorf since the next day Banondorf was the new Bot so if you guys can figure out when that happened, then that was the day i joined.

2. How did you find it?
Thank RockNinjaToska for that he was streaming Megaman X so I looked in most popular and surprisingly enough Tombobblender was there. First thing that struck my intrest was "hey wait a second.... thats a mario paint icon! I remember that game.

3. What is your earliest memory of the stream?
First thing i saw was slides and music, the music back then was repetitive and a bit annoying due to tom not having many songs on his Ustream, but then after that it was epic because the screen came on and he was playing Brawl if i remember correctly it kinda faded in, that was pretty cool. Second thing i saw was buddii the I remember people said i spelled Ferret wrong i spelled it like Furret in which people said "pokemon reference!" oh well thats about it, oh and third thing i saw was Legend of Zelda Twilight princess, and tom was having trouble with it, that was back when tom had Legend of zelda twilight princess on the weekend for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was his first 3D game. Thats about all i remember back then there was no gameover either so once that was over it was time for bed. Wow i remember a lot of crap.

4. What are your favorite things about this stream?
Well the stream quality is rather good, plus gameover is fairly fun, and its always fun to cohost with Tom, plus its a good place to relax, and listen to music in. Oh and Buddii cam is really great. Plus the stream have good chatters, not many trolls here a lot of smartasses but no trolls.
