Question for Donnie. Have you ever experimented on your brothers with or without their knowledge? What experiments did you do? What were the results?

Um…I‘ll take that as a “Yes”

Good question! :]

Streamer Spotlight: CupAhNoodle

We are kicking off our Streamer Spotlights series with CupAhNoodle—a zombie stan from SoCal, a host and commentator, or, put quite simply in her own words: “I do things on the internet.” As a variety streamer, she predominantly plays horror and indie games, but she also does franchise play-throughs from Rockstar to THQ. Last year, she played (and beat) over 160 games along with her community. Who better to start us off in our series?

What was the first video game that you fell in love with?  

That’s a tough one! I’m going to say it’s between Mega Man 3 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game. Mega Man is the first game I learned codes for, so I thought I was cool, and TMNT was and is still a gem to this day!

How did you find your start in streaming? What has the journey been like from then to now?  

I was late and completely missed Justin.tv. When I finally discovered Twitch, I remember thinking, “This looks like fun. I’m a gamer. How hard could it be”. Boy, was I wrong! I learned the difference between playing games and streaming—from chat interaction to building a community from the ground up, it was way more immersive than I had ever anticipated. I spent the first two years being inconsistent, showing up, and then disappearing like a ninja. Then I finally told myself, I’m either going to do this or hang it up. So I did it. I did my best to look for opportunities to put myself out there and meet new people. I wasn’t partnered when Twitch introduced the affiliate program but decided not to join because I wanted a partner, and I was willing to do my time until I earned that. I didn’t get partnered until almost two years later. 

My main focus has always been my community (shout out to Cupton!). People invest so much in content creators. It’s more than just the fiscal, they are giving you their time—to me that’s more valuable than any other resource, so I always do my best to look out and give back to them. Fast forward, and we’re still growing and hanging out. It really is a pleasure to get to know them, and while I know we all lead separate lives, it’s nice to have somewhere you can relax and have fun together.

How has your experience been as a Black woman in a gaming industry dominated by white men?  

When I first started, I was treated like a unicorn. I’m not naive, I knew there weren’t many of us, but even then, it felt foolish; I could always name other Black women on the platform. There was a sort of stigma as if people weren’t sure how to perceive or approach me. I never said anything or drew any attention to it. I’m a proud Black woman. But more than that, I’m me, and I just want it to be about more than my race. 

I try not to let others dictate my future. I wanted to stream and cultivate a community, and I refused to let metrics stop me from doing so. I wanted to get into hosting, so I went to conventions and conducted interviews with attendees. I made a little bootleg demo reel and submitted it to Twitch, who then invited me to their hosting summit in 2017. From there, I kept working and hosting, and became the first Black woman to host Twitchcon in 2018.

If you had any advice to give to fellow Black gamers, what would it be?  

My advice would be to always be unashamedly, unabashedly YOU! I feel like when it comes to race, gender, and ethnicity, it is always leaned upon, but that does not define who you are as a person. Be honest with your community and with yourself. It isn’t easy putting yourself out there, and at times people suck, but if you’re true to yourself, those people won’t matter. Be consistent, start small, and always remember the big picture. Oh, and have fun. All the fun. If you’re having fun, everyone is having fun with you!

If you could create your own video game character, what would they be like?

If I could create a character, she’d be a Sistah, because I mean…it can’t just be Clem. I would want her to have the triforce of all superpowers: telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation. I would want her to be smart but flawed, and a little bit crazy (think Catalina in GTA San Andreas). But above all, I’d want her to be strong. No matter what came her way, she’d be with it. Like Marcus Phoenix or Claire Redfield.

Old Joy

2006’s Old Joy (trailer) is the longest 77-minute film I have ever seen, but I mean that in only the best kind of ways. Director Kelly Reichardt intentionally establishes a deliberate, plodding pace about two distant friends who fell out of touch meeting up to go on a road/hiking trip to find a tucked-away and highly reputable hot springs. The film opens up with Mark (Daniel London) meditating at home when he gets a call from his free-spirited old friend, Kurt (Will Oldham), with an invite for a last-minute weekend trek to discover these mystical hot springs. That opening scene does a masterful job with its minimalist dialog and awkward body language to indicate how Mark is still not quite settling into married life with a kid on the way and comes off a little too eager to jump at the opportunity to get out of the house last minute for the weekend.

The film jumps to sitting in on an extended driving scene with Mark listening to political talk radio, and when he meets up with Kurt is when the intentionally long scenes start to take hold. I like smartly written films with smooth-flowing dialog filled with edgy quips and retorts, but I also appreciate a complete 180 as seen here and in movies like Slacker where the dialog sounds….uncomfortably natural. When Kurt and Mark start off driving, there are many advertent pauses during the conversations where it seems like the two are trying to think of topics to bring up to talk about and catch up. I can 100% relate to that, and it is insanely rare how often I run across that in average big-budget films and pull it off so well like it is done in Old Joy. Highlights from the road trip part of the film include how well shot little moments are like a gas station stop with oblique camera angles that somehow capture the subtle but noticeable moments of the excitement of getting out for the weekend as Kurt and Mark amusingly toss beverage koozies at each other. Watching the pair drive around aimlessly while Kurt tries to remember how to get to the springs and eventually resorting to a makeshift campsite while exchanging philosophical stoner verbiage is another memorable scene of their journey.

I would be remiss to go this long without giving a shoutout to Lucy, Mark’s canine pal tagging along for the journey. In the bonus feature interviews, it was enlightening to hear that it is actually Reichardt’s dog who she had no choice but to include in the film because she could not find a dog-sitter while filming. Reichardt stated she was anxious about how it would work out since Lucy had no film training. Lucy wound up as a perfect third wheel for the adventure. She blended in perfectly, especially with some smart improving with Oldham, where he would instinctually play with her during the hiking spots of the movie. Eventually, the trio found the hidden turnoff to their destination and go on a hike to see the hot springs. The film once again, through exquisite cinematography and intentional drawn-out shots with very little dialog, shows how all the hassle to reach their endpoint was worth it. It is a boldly ambiguous, memorable scene. The film not-so-climatically wraps up with Mark dropping Kurt off, and the movie goes out of its way to capture another little thing so well that few other movies have pulled off in the form of the malaise-filled drive back home and the dread of the return to the normality.

I have the Criterion Edition of Old Joy, and it has four bonus features totaling about an hour altogether. Daniel London and Will Oldham reunite for the first time since production wrapped in 2006 for a conversation filmed in 2019. They exchange many interesting production stories, with the one standing out the most to me being the warning from the park ranger escorting them to the hot springs on how brave they were to go in there because of all the gunk they have fished out of there over the years. An interview with Reichardt is a must-listen on how she decided to film this movie after taking a sabbatical from filmmaking. An interview with the author of the original short story the film is based on, Jim Raymond, on how he met Kelly and how satisfied he was with her treatment of the adaptation and changes she made for the big screen. Finally, Director of Photography Peter Sillen shares a fair amount of production factoids and insights. This being a Criterion release, there is the requisite booklet included, which has a 14-page essay by Ed Halter that thoroughly dissects the film and its production and the entirety of the 22 page original “Old Joy” short story from Jim Raymond. I accidentally stumbled upon this movie browsing through the latest Criterion releases, and the description of the film made it sound right up my alley by how unorthodox it is. This style of filmmaking may not be for everybody with its different structure and laidback style of dialog from the average theatrical movie. I wound up absolutely loving Old Joy, and was thrilled to hear how this film was a hit with critics and was the catalyst for Reichardt directing more beloved indie films following this like Wendy & Lucy, First Cow, and Night Moves.

Adam is the writer of the small press comic The Secret Protectors (we reviewed issues 1&2 here and read our interview with them here)

Like many of us, Adam balances a job and writing, looking to grow creatively and get his story out into the world. What appealed to me about The Secret Protectors particularly is that it’s a raw work, finding its voice and style and watching Adam and Ben Nunn (the artist on the series) grow is as much a part of the story as the actual comic.

They’re currently Kickstarting a collected edition of the first 4 issues of the series (you can sign up for the first two issues for free here and you can see art from the series throughout the article!!) You can back it here.

Over to Adam

Secret Protectors

Can you tell us a bit about the first creator whose work you recognised?

Yeah of course, you know, I don’t think I realised it till I got a lot older, but the first creators who really left a lasting effect on me were Filmation (responsible for He-Man), Eastman & Laird who somehow thought up TMNT, along with Toei animation who created the Transformers cartoon. Perhaps even more important are husband and wife Eric & Julia Lewald, the two main creatives behind the X-Men animated series. That show, I can genuinely say, really taught me a lot and instilled in me morals I hold to this day. It was an absolutely great show! Crazy to credit that to a kids Saturday morning cartoon I know but I don’t think you can overestimate how important our younger years are in defining the adults we’ll grow in to.

  Which creators do you remember first copying?

I remember as a kid playing with my action figures and it was never enough to just have the good guys facing off against the bad guys for the sake of a cool battle. I can vividly remember trying to create the Secret Wars storyline with my figures. Instead of just Marvel characters though I’d have Turtles there as well, along with a bunch of other figures. I remember I couldn’t include Transformers or Thundercats though! They didn’t scale well! It would have been ludicrous to include them too! As for my adult years, I’ve tried to not outright copy anyone of course but at this point I’ve so many influences that play into my storytelling approach.

  Who was the creator that you first thought ‘I’m going to be as good as you!’?

Woah, tough one that! Creatively I’ve always wanted to try and have my own way. As a small press indie guy, I’m not sure its about trying to be better than someone else. I think it’s more about improving your craft, learning from your mistakes and growing as a person to improve your work!

  Which creator or creators do you currently find most inspiring?

There’s so many! If I had to narrow it down, I guess I’d have go with a top 5 format, so:

David Chase – The creator of, in my opinion, the best TV series ever – The Sopranos. It’s been labelled all kinds of superlatives, I’m not sure I can really add anything to the list. I’ve heard it described as an 86hr film, which is probably about right. It just never misses a beat and the storytelling is just so deep and rich. It’s the only series I’ve ever watched over from start to finish more than once. I’ll definitely been watching it a third time at some point in my life!

Spawn 300 by Todd McFarlane

David Simon – The man is responsible for a bunch of incredible TV series, such as The Wire, Show Me a Hero & The Deuce. I’m a pretty unemotional guy but Simon is phenomenal at drawing you in emotionally before then absolutely crushing you. Show Me a Hero in particular left me completely exhausted.

Christopher Nolan – He’s just never made a bad film, in fact, I’d argue literally all his work is top drawer stuff. Not only does he tell original, amazing stories, he does it in a way that is normally a way you’ve never been shown a story before.

Todd McFarlane – When Todd left Marvel and started up Image, he, along with the other founders of Image changed the industry forever. In Spawn, he has the longest running independent comic of all time and on a personal note, anytime I see an interview with him he just seems so humble and grounded. He worked his absolute arse off to get where he is and to improve himself. He’s gone from aspiring, struggling artist to a one-man empire! He makes comics, films and toys! The man must never sleep!

Chris Claremont – The man wrote X-Men for 25 years! The longevity and quality of his work is pretty much unparalleled. To quote the great late Stan Lee ‘Nuff said’.

There’s plenty more but this is a pretty good representation.

  Which creators do you most often think about?

I actually try not to really! I’d end up depressing myself by comparing myself to someone on top of the, figurative, mountain that I’d love to ascend! I kid, of course! That’s a tough one. I try to focus on being better personally. Just keeping my head down and doing ‘me’.

  Can you name the first three creative peers that come into your head and tell a little bit about why?

Sure, first up! Matt Stapleton – The mind behind What If? Stories. He’s such a great guy! He’s one of those people whose enthusiasm is just unrelenting! Some might find that jarring but it’s honestly infectious! In a good way! He’s so positive when taking on a challenge, like his recent Kickstarter for instance, he smashes it! If you’ve got a dream and want to make it happen, surround yourself with individuals like Matt. People who dream and believe!

Ben Nunn – 2000AD submission from sample script

Ben Nunn – The second half of The Secret Protectors duo. Ben’s great! We’ve been working together now on The Secret Protectors since 2017. We’ve both developed a lot since then but Ben’s improvement is remarkable. He’s never happy with his work and he’s constantly looking to do better. If I let him, he’d probably completely redo issue 1! Hahaha!

  Lastly. My wife! Kate Wheeler. Now, she’s not a typical creative. She is an actress but she’s not currently working. She had to get a real job to pay the bills unfortunately. But she is my muse. She’s the only reason I developed the belief needed to go out there and get my comic made in the first place! She is my number one confidant, partner, friend and consigliere! The Silvio to my Tony Soprano so to speak.

  Finally, can you tell us a bit about your recent work and yourself?

I’d love to shamelessly plug my Kickstarter which is Live right now! It’s for my comic book series The Secret Protectors! It’s Ben and mine’s take on the superhero genre. There’s sci-fi and fantasy aplenty but it’s more about the drama and tension between the characters themselves! It’s the story I feel I’m here to tell, essentially. There’s not a day that passes that I don’t think about it in some way, shape or form! It’s definitely my burden to carry! My curse!

(editor’s note — It’s here – remember!)

Merchandise available from their Kickstarter

I also recently wrote the short story ‘The Ville’ – download The ‘Ville – By Adam Wheeler. Completely different to anything comic related. To be honest, I just wanted to challenge myself to make something up new. Something that was a complete departure. Just to prove that I could, more than anything.

As for me, I’m Adam Wheeler a 35-year-old male. I’ve been creating & crafting stories since I can remember, not that anyone ever asked me too. I’m not so interesting. I’m just a working-class guy with aspirations. Cliché I know but it’s the best backstory I could come up with for myself.

  Thank you very much for taking the time to fill this out and let us into your mind.

Nintendo Quest

Somehow I went five years without hearing about the documentary that hit in 2015, Nintendo Quest (trailer). Upon hearing its premise, I immediately ordered a copy online and the DVD only sat in my backlog box for two days before I popped it in. The premise is simple, video game fanatic Jay Bartlett sets himself a goal to collect all 678 officially licensed NES games for North America within 30 days. All purchases must be done grass roots style on the road and in person, with no online ordering and all with his own personal funds and no fundraising assistance whatsoever. He maps out a journey from his home in Toronto all the way down to Florida to hit up hotspot retro game shops and personal collectors in hopes of achieving and documenting his journey. As a longtime fan and collector of video games going back to the Atari VCS/2600 and NES days I can relate to the experience of perusing never-ending racks of NES games at retro game shops, and buying lots of games from fellow collectors. I have never set out to collect the complete library of a major platform before, and then with the ambitious goal to do it within 30 days with no online ordering on top of that lofty destination. For what it is worth I do have all five Sega 32X CD games and all North American Power Pad games for the NES (that is if you count World Class Track Meet in place of Stadium Events, do not be silly now). As a fan of retro games, and retro game collecting, Nintendo Quest’s subject material is 1000% up my alley, and I have no idea why I did not hear of it for five years since its release.

Watching Bartlett start his quest off day one by buying games from local friends and retro shops did a good job establishing what I was in for with a running graphical tracker of key games purchased at each stop, and an especially useful top 20 chart of the rarest NES games that is updated throughout his travels. Shop owners, friends and even rivals that get in his way of purchases are interviewed throughout elaborating on their passion, and occasionally haggle back and forth with Jay on negotiations. I do appreciate that for most major purchases Jay makes he respects the dealer’s privacy and does not divulge how much he paid for games off his top 20 rare games list. The hour and a half documentary has welcomed breaks from Jay’s journey with scenes dedicated to NES culture, fandom and history. An early scene is a condensed two minute animated history of Nintendo leading up to the NES launch that is well done and hits all the appropriate bullet points in that duration. Another brief scene is interviewing a variety of veteran developers on the 101 of NES game design, and another interviews game composers about the perpetual love for 8-bit chiptune music. Two of my favorite scenes of this nature involve the early days of pro videogame competition with an interview with the self-proclaimed “first pro gamer,” Todd Rodgers and an interview NES box cover artist Marc Ericksen, who explains how he came up with the much talked about box art for Mega Man 2.

Any NES enthusiast can vouch for Stadium Events being the crowned jewel of officially released NES games to collect. Nintendo Quest does its research on justifying why that game is so sought after, and one of the primary over-arching themes of the documentary is Jay consistently exchanging calls with a collector in order to procure a copy. It is where Jay’s adventure undoubtedly gets the most dicey, and the movie had me reeled in for the ride as Jay tried to hammer out the fine details to get the coveted Stadium Events. Bartlett’s frequent revisiting to acquire the rarest of NES games and seeing how he succeeds or fails at it is easily the highlight of the film (no spoilers here). I was surprised at the complete lack of bonuses for the DVD. Almost all past documentaries I have covered here are usually loaded with unused interviews and cut footage, and that is a missed opportunity here. For what it is worth there are some nicely animated pixel-art menus, and for an indie film I always appreciate the implementation of subtitles. Regardless of that, if you are a retro game collector or just a fan of the NES itself, then Nintendo Quest is the perfect dose of 8-bit nostalgia that presents a feature unlike any other videogame documentary yet.
