All this Pokemon talk going on... I totally had to find the 151 Rom and play it. Can't wait to build my beastly team! You can catch all the starters so fast! I just wish it had been altered so Pokemon that need to be traded would evolve through leveling up.
You can trade for them, but I hate traded Pokemon. So much weaker and with dumb nicknames.

Metal Gear Solid.
There is a guy called Naked Snake who goes on a mission to stop his mentor, who turned out was actually good all along, and saved America, because of this he becomes the legendary solider big boss.
Big boss then makes this place called Outer Heaven, which isn't that important as it's literally just a base which houses a metal gear.
Oh, and Metal Gear is a huge gundamn that can launch nukes.
Outer heaven is then destroyed and shit happens.
Anyhow, sometime he falls into a coma and these scientists take dna and make three sons. Snake, Liquid and Solidus. He then wakes up and something happens which we will see in the new metal gear solid game.
Snake is then trained to be the second best solider ever, and takes down Big boss, Outer Heaven and a Metal Gear. Twice.
After that, Liquid gets a rag tag group of people and demands Big Bosses remains, or he'll blow the world up with another metal gear. Snake soon stops him, meets some scientist who made Metal Gear called Otocon, and his commanders Daughter. Meryl. He also learns that he has been injected with Foxdie a nanomachine that kills people with specific DNA, which also kills Liquid.
Then he retires, and is part of group called philanthropy to stop metal gears with otocon. Then jumps on a boat, oh and there is this guy called Ocelot who has a huge hard on for big boss and also his sons. Anyhow, he loses his arm in the first game, and takes liquid's after he dies, and somehow becomes liquid. Anyhow, he takes pictures of this metal gear and then liquid steals it and blows the boat up.
2 years later Raiden comes to do a mission and some fucked up shit happens here. Literally unexplainable. All you need to know is that he kills the president and snake isn't dead. Oh and there is this group called the patriots that are basically the unknown people who run the country, but they've been dead for 100 years.
Anyhow, after that Snake ages about 40 years, because he is a clone, and then has to do his final mission to take out Liquid Ocelot, which he does. There is also this thing called Foxdie which kills other people again, and will become uncontrollable and will soon kill the whole world so he goes into exile or some shit.
Oh, and after that Raidan becomes a Samurai and kills a republican.
There, took about 10 minutes to type.
Shoot... I hate Roms! I got tricked like the Twitch version and I can't get the 151 Rom to work since I'm not familiar enough with them to understand what I have to do.

Download an emulator like Visual Boy Advance (personal pick) and drag the .gb or .gbc file on it. That's pretty much all you gotta do.
Oh man, them mods.

Well god damn, I am impressed. There are a few missing details, but if someone has never played the games before then those won't matter.
You know that feeling when you finally get all the equipment you need to record console game play and you're doing a speed run and it's going insanely well and you're on track to beat your PB and some really wacky RNG kicks in that in the last lap of the last race that causes you to hit another racer who teleported to you that ends up soft-blocking the game and you've never seen it happen before in your whole time playing that game? It feel like this:

This Entire day i was training on sneaking Bank heist on payday 2 using no ECM Jammers. Its actually way easier to do than you think the first 10 times i screwed up but its all about luck and skill after i learned that i did it like 6 times alone, Twice while being the host with a bunch of level 40's (SUPER HARD THEY NEVER LISTEN TO ME). and like 8 times with friends. Bank heist is now officially really easy to sneak. On the other hand at one point i had this level 100 guy join me, He sounded like those Black guys who are tough and he's like "Yo' Pixel imma shoot these white bitches and you kill guards". With this guy i literally sneaked it in like 4 minutes (Which is really good). So at one point we had to manage the hostages we had and this girl started screaming, I just hear the guy on the mic he's like "STFU White skank" and shoots her in the face. I started laughing so hard without noticing a hostage was escaping. The guy added me and we ended playing just before i posted this, Really good player.

Don't worry dude, you'll beat CrazyGameNerd.
I believe.
I dunno, the changes aren't that drastic. I do find it interesting that they changed the font on the shotgun ammo boxes and re-aligned it.
So I told my mom about Let's Playing, how I would like to do it for a hobby, and it COULD (I may or may not have told her how slim a chance it could be) make some money out of it.
Turns out that she is willing to buy me a dazzle just so I can do it and has said that (and I quote) "If you can get this to bring in money, I will buy you more video games." I really hope that this turns out to be successful, since I now have someone on my side for this.

How could you get money from lets plays?

Stuff like ad revenue probably.

There are people on Youtube that do let's plays (ProtonJon and StephenPlays) and reviews (Somecallmejohnny)and people on Twitch that do streams (ManvsGame)that get payed for doing that. Each of these people are partners (I think) and get paid just to play games, give opinions, and entertain. This is how you can make money by let's playing, though it really takes becoming a parner and I would really like to do it.

Also this. The money mostly comes from ads.
