README
Hello and welcome to my homepage! My name's Jordan and I'm a programmer from Southern Illinois. In my free time I do let's plays on YouTube and I stream on Twitch with a group of friends on the Alderoth Circle. I keep a more general blog for open-ended thoughts as well as canonical pages on games I play, movies I watch, etc. On those, I like to review them or post any notable thoughts I had.

Let's Plays
A big thing I do in my free time is make let's plays. Below is a list of games that I've played (or are in the process of playing).
Streams
A list of games that I've streamed at one point or another on Twitch with TAC. There's a number of other games I've been involved with on the channel, but these are the ones that I myself streamed or at least was strongly involved with in some way. No super-specific criteria, just games I have an opinion on that we've covered. Start and end dates generally only relate to games with a clear endpoint that were definitively finished. Rather than evergreen games that we come back to. Or if I have some idea of when I first played something.
