Q/A Written by Winged_Wolf

Q: Where's Superman 64?
A: Superman is still being worked on. Unfortunately, various issues do come up (e.g. moving, technical difficulties, etc.) and that causes delays. A new episode will be up when it's up.

Q: How do fortune cookie streams work?
A: Jon has a list of all of his games on the backloggery. Fortune cookie allows him to select random games from that. During a fortune cookie, Jon selects his personal choice, which will remain a choice throughout the night until it is selected, and if it is not selected chances are Jon will open up a future fortune cookie stream with it. Anyway, sometimes a multiplayer game is selected and remains an option throughout the night until it is selected. Finally, Jon selects 3 random games from his backloggery via the fortune cookie. A straw poll is then created by one of the mods, at which point viewers can select the game they want Jon to play next, with the game with the most votes winning. Usually, Jon plays that game for about half hour before the next cookie or until everyone gets sick of it and chat calls for an impeach, at which point it is cut off.

Q: Why is there a "no RPGs" rule for fortune cookie streams?
A: Most RPGs take a long time to start and that's not fun for anyone. There are some exceptions (e.g. Chrono Trigger), but otherwise if an RPG appears in the cookie, it won't be considered.

Q: What's the "all AI" battle?
A: Occasionally, Jon will put on a multiplayer game like Smash, Mario Party, etc. that allows for an all AI match. As one can infer, all the players are set on AI, usually the lowest level possible cause stupidity, and that plays throughout the night with Jon checking on it every now and then. A straw poll is posted in chat where people can vote on who they think is gonna win. If the game selected for this is not on the same capture card as the game that is currently being played by Jon, then a picture-in-picture is done where people can watch the action going on in a corner of the screen. As the game nears its end, we all watch it... end. Yeah.

Q: Why can't I post straw poll links?
A: Considering how many viewers Jon tends to get on fortune cookie streams, the straw poll site faces heavy strain as it is just from voting for a new game. Anymore straw polls would likely cause the site to crash and we'd be out of straw poll for a while, if not the rest of the stream. Please don't post straw poll links unless you're a mod or you have permission to do so. Doing so will result in a timeout by one of the mods.

Q: What's Q&A?
A: Usually at the end of streams, Jon and anyone on call with him will answer questions from chat. Usually this lasts about a half hour at the least, though it tends to go on longer, despite Jon saying "five more questions."

Q: Where did the egg come from?
A: Jon LP'd Resident Evil 5, where a running gag was Chris Redfield eating an egg applause. When Jon was playing Mercenaries Mode (RE5's multiplayer) for footage, he discovered that Wesker had as a clip, "You will give me an egg," among others, like "CHRIIIIIISSSS!!!" Jon found this hilarious, and it got to the point where it was decided the subscriber icon would be a golden egg. Therefore, when you subscribe, Jon will give you an egg.

Q: Why don't The Runaway Guys do streams?
A: They try to, but usually they're too busy recording and forget about it. They did a stream once (not on twitch) a while ago for charity. One day, maybe we'll get a TRG stream.

Q: Will Jon stream a Mario ROM Hack?
A: Chances are... no. Jon has gotten sick of them.

Q: What's some good advice to keep in mind for this channel?
A: Please be respectful of everyone, and remember, it's still anyone's game.
