This is a big long stream where I played Bananza for the first time and successfully manage to get credits in just under twelve hours. The maximum length of a YouTube VOD is 12 hours so basically it was unbelievably close to being over the line. What a finish, what a game. Done in one, post game and 100% not withstanding which I will be doing on my own time.

Bananza's fantastic by the way. It's super fun, iterates on Odyssey in some really neat ways and delivers a good mix of platforming, action, puzzles and other such bullshit. Plus, with a main quest that people estimate at 20 hours but I did in 12, it's a lot meatier than Odyssey's Any% which I think may have led to some missing out on Odyssey's true depth. It's a hell of an accomplishment and I can't wait to explore its worlds more completely.

I'll say, don't expect too many more streams like this where I play a new game to completion first chance I get. This was sort of a perfect storm of everything lining up right. I was out of town day one, first chance I'd get to stream it was Sunday, it's a sequel to my top two games of all time DKC2 and Odyssey. It made sense to blow it up into a long stream and to shoot for credits as it could be my new favorite game of all time. Jury's still out on that, game rules though.

Small note, was a bit sick during the stream with a very unusual kind of sore throat, I am amazed that I was able to go the full 12 hours without it holding me back. I talked the normal amount. Was that a bad idea?
