Tears of the Kingdom: My 100-Hour Heros Path (Technically Spoilers, All Shrines/etc.) The Platinum Bolt 2023-06-13 | I thought since this feature exists, it'd be cool to share my complete journey, from the first moments to the final shrine and final boss, line by line. If you're like me, even just watching this will bring back memories of each part of the map from your own journey through Hyrule. If you're not like me, you're lucky.
Watch me try to be the worst possible Hitman for two hours (Hitman Freelancer stream archive) The Platinum Bolt 2023-03-10 | Originally streamed 3/9/23, shoutout to Goldstorm07 for the meme that's now repurposed into a thumbnail.Special thanks again to IO Interactive for reaching out and providing me 25 copies of Hitman: World of Assassination to give away to the TGB community! If you'd like to buy the game, they gave me this tracking link that absolutely doesn't actually track anything and also spells "Steam" wrong. Despite that, it's a legit link - I receive no commission for any purchases of the game through this link, but it seems like they track anybody clicking through to the store page as a sale, so clicking it means they'll probably have me run more giveaways in the future! https://game.page/hitmanfreelancerpsa/The%20Golden%20Bolt

Celebrating Ratchet & Clanks 20th Anniversary with the R&C Randomizer (Stream Archive) The Platinum Bolt 2022-11-05 | Originally streamed on 11/4/2022. Ratchet & Clank turned 20 on Nov. 4th, and cats don't tend to live much longer so we've gotta celebrate while we can! Because of prior video obligations, my planned 11/4 video got moved back, so instead I streamed a full run of the Ratchet & Clank 1 Randomizer, hung out with the good folks in chat, and told dumb stories with @Wolfkaosaun, @ThatTravGuy, and famous Twitch streamer @WorldFamousJtart9 (he's so famous).Main channel: youtube.com/TheGoldenBolt Twitter: twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltTwitch Subs and Patrons gain exclusive Discord access and more: patreon.com/TheGoldenBolt

Ratchet & Clank 1 Randomizer FULL PLAYTHROUGH (No Commentary) The Platinum Bolt 2022-09-07 | After a few semi-successful tests, here's my first COMPLETE playthrough of the Ratchet & Clank 1 Randomizer. The Randomizer rearranges the Infobot coordinates (i.e. level order), as well as the location of every Weapon, Gadget, or Item you obtain via exploring, NPCs, or in the Vendor. You'll even find Gadgets in the weapon vendor itself sometimes! Gold Bolts are not affected, and the Randomizer is currently designed to only create seeds that are fully completable by way of regular gameplay, without speedrun tactics. More details below:This is raw footage I was recording just for the sake of it - not as something I intended to show for content - so there may be brief pauses in the action...or moments where I'm screwing around and dying just to see if there's a way to cheese through some bits. Currently, the Randomizer has a number of bugs, such as one of the Clank doors on Orxon not opening; thankfully there's a handy noclip toggle in the required RaCMAN program, so that you can just proceed through the door as I did in this playthrough. That's the only cheat I used in this playthrough, since I couldn't progress without the Clank Infobot behind the bugged door.NOTE: I'm not affiliated in any way with the Randomizer or the folk(s) behind it - I just found it a few months back and wanted to give it a shot. This Randomizer only works on digital PAL copies of R&C1 on a homebrewed PS3. There's no way to get this to work currently with other versions, and modding your PS3 may risk a permanent account ban. Make sure you install the latest version if you'd like to be able to complete the run via normal gameplay! Currently, the Randomizer is designed to only create seeds that can be beaten with regular play (bugs notwithstanding), but the earlier builds will require speedrun strategies to complete.You can find the Randomizer at the following link, and it'll briefly explain how to get it working: github.com/bordplate/rac1-randomizerThere's also a Discord server you can find on the above page for setup help and more. I WILL NOT be able to help you set this up, and you're doing so at your own risk. I have a spare PS3 specifically for this sort of thing, you probably should too!Main channel: youtube.com/TheGoldenBoltTwitch: twitch.tv/TheGoldenBoltTwitter: twitter.com/TheGoldenBoltDiscord access and more: patreon.com/TheGoldenBolt
