• Ep 14: SethTheHex - Multifaceted Variety Streamer
    Jan 14 2024

    In this episode of Stream Machine, I interviewed SethTheHex. He's a random streamer I raided playing Marvel Snap and I stuck around. He's intelligent, opinionated, loves Pokemon, board and card games, retro consoles, indie games, reacting to things, and playing games with his community. I relate to him because we grew up in similar socioeconomic statuses so we obtained games in similar ways such as through rentals. As you'll learn, he's a variety streamer in many senses of the word. Hope you enjoy this podcast.

    Also, quick announcement. I want more time to learn game development via Godot. So, I'll be taking a pause on making podcast episodes for a bit. Basically, I want 2 dreams I have: #1 Making people logical and rationale and #2 Making a videogame. So, I'm going to make time to focus on that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Ep 13: zanian_ - Opinionated Beer Loving Canadian Kaizo Streamer in Germany
    Dec 27 2023

    In this episode, I interviewed zanian_. I've followed him on Twitch for around 2.5 years. Originally, He visited Germany for an exchange program. After he returned to Canada, he decided he wanted to move there while he worked on his master's in linguistics, but now, so it sounds like he's there to stay. He's been very determined to get the world record for a speedrun of the Super Mario World kaizo hack called Storks, Apes, and Crocodiles by Morsel. He talks about why Morsel's hack was influential, different qualities of beer since he's studying beer brewing, and his study and interests in comparative literature. It's a really interesting episode and longer than usual and to be honest, that's largely because zanian_ is both opinionated but also good at going into detail. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the episode.

  • Ep 12: DrLeandra - She was the Cool Kid AND the Smart Kid (and still is)
    Dec 3 2023

    In this episode, I interviewed DrLeandra. She's an RPG streamer. Originally, I met her through KansaiMarc which is another streamer I interviewed for this podcast. I found her story interesting because all the way up to high school, her main source of recreation was physical activity and she was very studious. It wasn't until she was an adult that she started gaming. I think that's great because it meant she kept and open mind, she tried it, and kept going with it. So, keep an open mind and you'll find something new to enjoy. Anyway, hope you enjoy this podcast and thanks for listening.

  • Ep 11: Dangil - ”This is not mine anymore. I can’t just pull the plug”
    Nov 20 2023

    This is Stream Machine. I interview Twitch streamers about their origins as gamers, people, and streamers.

    In this episode, I interviewed Dangil. This episode will be special because we've known each other through Twitch for about 2.5 years, he makes his own emotes, and is good at providing narratives to the games he plays and his own experiences. And, you'll see and hear the same when you listen to this podcast. He also provides values to his community and other communities that he interacts with in order to grow his community. You'll find out all about this in my interview with him and I hope you enjoy.

  • Ep 10: NikDudeN7 - Kaizo/Variety Streamer, Math Wiz, and Literally Wearer of Many Hats
    Nov 6 2023

    NikDudeN7 first met me indirectly via a BarbarousKing raid. If BarbarousKing is not the biggest Kaizo SMW streamer he was one of the biggest and I won the raid lottery on that one. Nik came in with that raid and I've known him and watched his stream for almost 2 years now, so I thought it'd be cool to interview Nik. You'll find out about all the cool retro games he played, how he got sucked into Halo during university, what influenced him to play SMW Kaizo, and the simple silly stuff he does with his stream. And, if you listen, you'll get to hear me kind of accidentally tricking Nik to give us one of his awesome impressions of a Mario character.

  • Ep 9: Gorpo_c - Proudly Weird Streamer with Chill Vibes
    Oct 23 2023

    I met gorpo_c through a streamer that we both watched. We initially both met in their chat, that streamer raided them, and from there I followed Gorpo and I'm a regular in his stream now. Gorpo and I discuss the videogames he has fondest memories of, the game spectating event that initiated his interest in streaming, and how streaming is just a constant evolutionary process.

  • Ep 8: Der & DasTebbers - Complementary Streaming Couple of Puns & Gaming
    Oct 23 2022

    Der & DasTebbers stream on the same channel. They first started on YouTube around 10 years ago but eventually moved to Twitch as it was transitioning form Justin.tv. Der started the channel but then Das jumped along for the ride because she couldn't suffer Der's gameplay in Streets of Rage any longer. They both have an interesting background so find out more about them and their journey as streamers in this episode.

  • Ep 7: KansaiMarc - Showman Who Loves to Travel with his Wifey
    Oct 9 2022

    In this episode, I interviewed KansaiMarc. He loves to perform both musically and on Twitch. Marc and his wife traveled to Japan because they love to explore and have been there for 4 years and they'll be there indefinitely until they decide to move somewhere else. Because they love being kind of pushed out of their comfort zone in that way, I believe Marc is a very adaptable person and that's a great personality trait to have. This is Marc's background as a gamer, person, musician and a Twitch streamer
