Trying something new!

As someone who got hooked on the video game streaming many years ago, and as a fan of movie reaction channels, I dig reactions to FMV games. You can usually pause, you get the film angle to comment on and obviously there is the game aspect. My favorite FMV game to watch people play through is "Contradiction: Spot the Liar" a campy murder mystery. There are games like "Telling lies" or "Her Story" for a little more heady and movie like feel. There is also pure genre schlock like "The Infectious Madness of Dr. Dekker" or "Late Shift." My true love is for ancient 90s cheesy FMV game reactions, but I won't mention them by name because they are hard to run, unlike the ones mentioned above.

Add to your list: by Zach Snyder- 300 and Watchmen

Natalie is the Fall Guys Champion! Her unconventional tactics are unbeatable. She finishes games faster than anyone else. Everybody else has to keep playing but Natalie she finishes in the first round 😁

NobleSon32

I think Hot Fuzz (the second one) is the most fun out of the three. That's one of my favourite films.

Will

Just saw a Reaction Collection of Reactions, Meta https://youtu.be/9HzMcgm_mfU

RickyRay

totally agree!

Natalie Gold

there will be more!

Natalie Gold

All on the list! Thanks!

Natalie Gold

Haha yes! I realized after how late that would be for most folks. It was a rather impulsive decision to rip off the streaming band aid. I'll likely come up with a schedule where I start earlier

Natalie Gold

Oh that's so kind of you Lawrence, but I'm just happy you're here! Please don't feel obligated to pay a certain amount at all, but thank you! And I definitely remember papalono from the stream haha

Natalie Gold

I know you get tons of movie requests, but re: Anime, I'd definitely check out Princess Mononoke if you're thinking about other Ghibli/Miyazaki movies, and Akira for a very different but also excellent anime.

Erik Stevenson

While not strictly horror, October might be a nice segue to begin Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) if you haven’t seen them. They’re all brilliantly made genre films starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. 1st film is an homage to zombie films, 2nd buddy cop films, 3rd apocalypse films ... but all with a twist, great comedy, and superb directing, writing, editing, and acting.

Ian Forbes

Hey Natalie, great livestream last night! I said I was going to up my Patreon membership to help with your diet Coke addiction and I did! (Papalono on Twitch) Keep up the great work!

Getoff Mylawn

I'd have joined in, but 6PM PST is 2AM British Summer Time and I was asleep. :D

Will

Unfortunately I missed this but just saw your reaction to Mandalorian Season 2 trailer, loved it. You mentioned watching scary movies with us during October. Cannot go wrong with any of these John Carpenter movies, Halloween, The Thing (think this was already in a poll), The Fog & Big Trouble in Little China.

Ron K

Sorry I missed it.

Dan Helphrey

I was going to propose exactly that

Mikita Kukavenka

I think something you can pause or not to concerned about outcome. First few streams might be more chatty or answering questions. Nothing wrong with hanging out in the 'Just Chatting' room and then trying a game later.

Boardgames are always good - no fast reflexes required.

Reid Ellis

Yeah I'd second this. Episodic, narrative based games are well suited to streams (and your audience.) Mods will be a must.

MrCAL

Can't go wrong with some chill story based adventure games that don't require fast reflexes or crazy gaming skills, like "The Wolf Among Us" for instance. Should be pretty cheap on Steam too, since it's not exactly a new game. The episodic nature would serve nicely for short, contained streams. One episode, one stream. Nice and easy. Mod on duty recommended though: some people like to hop on "first time playing" streams just to spoil stuff.

Gath Bard

Missed it but those times wlll be hard here in Germany. :( Still, watched the VOD and im happy you all had a great time. All the best to all of you.

Curaitis

Ahhhhh! I missed it. :'(

Hey Natalie, I was the one that posted about you looking up the 50 films to watch before you die. I should have said its the list by Film4. I have a link https://www.listchallenges.com/film4s-50-films-to-see-before-you-die Feel free to check them out if you wish.

Joel S

Once you've got an established audience, you could play some of the Jackbox party games with members of your audience, They have a game called quiplash that's aways a blast! ;) The best part is they don't even have to own the games, they can just join yours on their computers/phones for free using the website!

BJ Stephens

100% second the Edith Finch recommendation, if you like story based experience, and have a few hours to experience it, it's really great.

BJ Stephens

ProGamer moment

Christian Fierro

So much fun Nat! I think the pacing and length of time for the stream was perfect! Your live presence is so much like the video persona you have developed. It was so much fun to hang out! Hope to see you all again!

Christian Fierro

oh my 😂

Natalie Gold

Someone made this clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/FuriousNurturingBulgogiUncleNox

Thomas Malley

That was fun.

swoop_13-37

Won't be able to make the stream tonight, but I hope it goes well! Looking forward to the next movie reaction

Bryce Allison

regardless of that, that's a killer song.

Thomas Malley

TRUTH

Natalie Gold

Thanks Christian! I’m just trying it out for now to see if I like it. (I loved the one live stream I did on YouTube tho so I feel like I may love this 😂). But if I do more twitch stuff in the future I’ll probably schedule it out like you suggested!

Natalie Gold

This TikTok makes more sense now. Among Us https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJDrLBYt/

RickyRay

I think you'd dig story games. The Walking Dead is a fantastic one. The Unfinished Swan is a beautiful esoteric discovery journey. If you have played First-person games before then I also recommend Portal.

David of the North

I’ve only played once but, in case it’s not already been said, Among Us!

RickyRay

The Goose Game would be good!!! Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LL2AtHo1gk

Thomas Malley

Portal is definitely a good pick

PickettsChargingPort

this is accurate.

Thomas Malley

Hmm. Hellblade? Kidding, though you should play it. What Remains of Edith Finch is pretty low key. More a walking simulator. Try 'The Untitled Goose game' or Oxenfree.

PickettsChargingPort

I second Portal. A genius puzzle game.

mrhalfbit

😂 But then you get put on the spot sometimes, if you don't answer quickly you're done haha

E

It would be amazing to see you play either of these :) Watching me play Heavy Rain even hooked my mom who usually can't get into anything video game related. But she binged it in one session like a thriller series :D

Axel Dietze

Life is Strange!

VProductions

Or Human Fall Flat

Thomas Malley

I think a fun game would be one with wacky controls. Like Octodad

Thomas Malley

Portal is pretty main stream and a good entry into gaming.

Thomas Malley

it's very story driven and general chat probably won't be possible but yeah it's good and amotspheric. I don't know if I'd call it a 'game'. it's more like a story book in 3D

Thomas Malley

Also, a suggestion for utilizing Twitch, a regular streaming schedule would help you develop a strong audience base and stimulate growth!

Christian Fierro

OMG I can’t get enough of watching people play Among Us haha. The theatre nerd in me wants to be the imposter and act SO BAD

Natalie Gold

I have not played it myself, but Life Is Strange would be an easy recommendation as well. Or most Telltale games (ranging from Game of Thrones to Batman), which are also falling in the interactive movie genre most of the time.

Axel Dietze

I'd recommend Portal. Lean and simple, but challenging puzzle game with a great story and good dark humor. Long enough to get into a groove, but doesn't overstay its welcome.

Andy Jordan

Ooo! Both of these suggestions sound cool!

Natalie Gold

Haven’t played many games at all so I haven’t played Warcraft. But I can look into them :)

Natalie Gold

Oh oh oh, story games! A story horror game, Until Dawn. That is a MUST 😃 You'll enjoy it for sure

E

Fall Guys!

Christian Fierro

Nice! Will definitely keep in mind

Natalie Gold

Or: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. A mystery game where you explore a gorgeous location as a supernatural detective to find out what happened to the boy who hired you.

Axel Dietze

I actually didn’t grow up with any video games besides Pokémon! Haha But I wish I had 10 gamer friends and could do Among Us right now. It looks soooo fun

Natalie Gold

Nice! My man suggested Minecraft as well

Natalie Gold

Fall Guys does look fun!

Natalie Gold

You can also react to some youtube videos on stream as well

E

Hey Thomas! Not watching a movie. Just chatting and playing a game :)

Natalie Gold

OMG YES. Some Fall Guys would be fun. Also get into Among Us if you havent already!!! It's great, gather up some twitch friends and play with them. Gets intense

E

Seeing how you love good stories, the game Heavy Rain might be up your alley :) Basically a "choose your adventure" kind of interactive movie about a serial killer, told from four different perspectives. The twist: even if you fail, the story goes on.

Axel Dietze

Flippin sweet, I'll be there with bells on 😁 this might be showing how old I am, but have you ever played Warcraft or Warcraft 2? Not the world of Warcraft online games

Ronny Boss

Firewatch is very low key. In the walking simulator genre, but has a good story.

beetle

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Reggie Clark

If you are to do this often, I would LOVE to see you play/react to amazing story games. My favorite being Red Dead Redemption 2, which should be at the top of your list. ✌🏻❤️🌈

mrhalfbit

I wish I could! Everyone is playing Fall Guys right now but there’s a lot of chill games like Minecraft, or some puzzle games. Just depends. Stardew Valley? Or look up relaxing games for pc and see what pops up, aha

RationallySassy

sounds fun!

Thomas Malley

Oh games. :) sorry guys.

Thomas Malley

What kinds of games do you like? Off the top of my head: Fall Guys, Stardew Valley, or Monster Train are all on the easier or slower side while still being incredibly fun

John

Love to see it! Rocket League, Runescape, Minecraft are all easy PC games to play.

Zach

cool see you there

Bleedingreen

If we

mrhalfbit

Oh pacific time. What movie are we watching?

Thomas Malley

Just followed. Best way to get into gaming is find a genre you like and follow that.

Grigsy

God dammit. Did I miss it.

Thomas Malley

Ohh nice idea! I will unfortunatelly be asleep here in the UK but will catch up later if the video is available :-)

Michel Ferreira

Fall Guys would be a good game to play right now.

Patrick Mitchell

Yessssssss! I am there!!!!
