Happy One-Year Anniversary!
It’s hard to believe that one year ago today we released our very first video on From Our Basement Gaming. The first part of our Ecco the dolphin Let’s Play. https://youtu.be/R-VKe8EmwtM .
The idea of From Our Basement Gaming came to Conner and I during a difficult time. The pandemic had kept us apart for several months and we were excited to get back to playing games. At first, due to safety concerns Conner and i could only hang out in my basement. My mom had helped me set up all of my video game consoles in the basement so for a while Conner and I simply played video games and reminisced about our childhoods.
That’s what sparked the idea of From Our Basement Gaming. We enjoyed playing video games and primarily played retro games so why not do something practical with that? So, with Conner’s gaming skills and my...ability to talk...we started recording our play sessions.
We decided on Ecco the Dolphin as the first Let’s Play we’d record because we feel that Ecco the Dolphin is an often unappreciated game that deserves more love. Ecco played a big part in my childhood and I was able to share that experience with Conner. So, we hope through our Let’s Play of Ecco the Dolphin that you’ll be able to feel it too.
Wednesdays became our day to play Donkey Kong Country. Another game that had a big impact on us growing up. This time we had a co-op game so viewers would also get to see my lack of gaming skills. We’re now finishing up Donkey Kong Country 2 and have enjoyed playing as a team so far.
We crash into Fridays with Crash Bandicoot. A game I played a little later in my childhood but enjoyed immensely nonetheless. I felt including three games would give the channel variety and keep everyone entertained. Besides, who doesn’t like a little bandicoot in their lives?
Lastly but certainly not least-ly we have the Kevin-solo Sims 4 legacy let’s play. I wanted to include my love for Sims games as I personally spend way too much time playing different sims families to this day. It’s pretty exciting because you never know exactly what’s going to happen.
Thank you everyone for your support in watching and commenting on our videos. We want to continue to share our love of video games with everyone this year and for many years to come. We hope you will continue to enjoy our content and we look forward to relaxing and playing video games with you!
