Highlight of You Streaming Big
Metroid Prime Hunters is a great speedgame I've been enjoying running over the past 10 months or so. The run showcased here is my 2nd best time in the game. It has some of the best RNG I've ever gotten, but some of my execution isn't that good, so I'm trying to bring my time down lower atm, with the final goal time being a 1:10:xx IGT. This run showcases lots of Out of Bounds clips to skip many required things in the run, and techniques used to make elevator cycles early, along with just general great execution for a game with as wonky controls as this one (touch screen for aiming and selecting weapons, etc.). If you want to learn this game or better understand what's going on in this run, I'm in the middle of making a tutorial series that you can view here:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHfq03fgZJs3hNRJ6uGpQfNrL_RK26EYy

Twitch Engagement - A Two Way Street

This is honestly the main thing that every streamer should work on and always continue to work on for their stream. Talking about the game you're playing and explaining what you're doing in it is something you should always be doing in your streams IMO. This is especially important if you're streaming a game that many people are not as familiar with. In this case it's better to talk more about the game, but also keep viewers interested in any way you can. If all you're doing is just talking to your chat or trying to start conversations or be random and funny the entire stream, I won't be engaged in it and I can guarantee I won't stick around for long. Not the end of the world if you don't reference every single message that pops up in chat. It's also not a good thing to interrupt your own explanation of something going on in your games to respond to something in chat most of the time. 

This will break engagement a lot and that's something that you should try your best not to do. And of course to me there's always my number 1 golden rule of streaming: never make people feel uncomfortable for being there. This includes keeping your cool and not creating a terrible environment to chill in, even if you're raging at a game or sad that you lost a good run. Alerts such as Follower Alerts are also a big catalyst of uncomfortableness. For most streams I'm in, I like to take something out of it and apply to my own stream if possibly in order to improve it. At the end of the day, this is your hobby. It's supposed to be something fun for you to do and you want to make it fun for both you and your viewers universally. 


Your Elevator Pitch

Hello I'm Chris a.k.a. Shasta. I've been speedrunning and streaming since February 2014, with my first ever speedgame being Kirby Squeak Squad. More recently I've been running Kirby Super Star Ultra, Metroid Zero Mission, and Metroid Prime Hunters, which got into SGDQ 2015! I'm really big on handheld Nintendo games, which is what you'll mostly see on my stream. Growing up, they were my favorite games to play. I've completed most games in my collection numerous times, so speedrunning came naturally to me when I decided to pick it up.  I always try to make my stream a comfy place to chill late at night, and I've been told I have a soothing voice too, so those two things coincide quite nicely. I don't rage too often or get angry at my games either. I speedrun mostly for fun and switch up the games I run often, but I also have competitive times in most of the games I've run and will always continue to bring my times lower and lower! If you would like to see something different from the norm, or want a stream to fall asleep to or watch late at night, then feel free to check out my channel. I promise not to disappoint =)

I'm working on sending in my submission for Featured Stream Fridays, and I need to know: Do I need to write a huge and in depth paragraph for 'Highlight of You Streaming Big' and 'Article on Streambig.net that has helped you out the most and why?'

I'm not exactly the best at writing long paragraphs...

A paragraph would be nice. Shows you've read through the blogs and put some thought process on how it helped.
