Looking for what and when you can expect Ben to stream? Check here for a detailed schedule. Because Ben has obligations outside of Twitch and Epilogue, things are always subject to change. Check his Twitter handle @BengermanPlays if you want daily updates on the stream.
Games With Followers
Times: Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 PM to Midnight
What: At any time during the week, Ben and the Twitch community play games with followers, ranging from Nintendo hallmarks like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to party classics like The Jackbox Party packs. Because these are some of Ben’s most popular streams, the only stipulation is that you’re following the channel.
Games in the Rotation:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Splatoon 2
The Jackbox Part Pack 4
Fortnite
Civilization VI
Throwback Thursday
When: 9 PM EST to 2 AM EST [FALL ONLY]
What: Starting this fall, Ben will be moving most retro playthroughs to one five-hour chunk of classic goodness. This doesn’t mean that retro games can’t be played on other days, but unless noted on stream, any full playthrough will take place on Thursday. Because some retro titles are longer, these games could stretch out several weeks or even a month. These titles will also be the first to make their way over to YouTube and receive a more critical look here on Epilogue Gaming. Longer playthroughs will be voted on by chat. Did I mention that triple beans are turned on during all Throwback Thursdays?
Games in the Rotation:
Offline until Fall
Everything Else
Times: Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday at 9 PM EST to 1 AM EST
What: These are the days where Ben rotates between a plethora of titles, from Dark Souls to single player masterpieces like Nier: Automata or The Last Guardian. These days will have a heavy focus on single player experiences, typically a little bit on the newer side. In the fall, this time could be bumped up an additional hour for 8 PM EST starts. On most nights, there will be one game being played in an effort to focus on its completion. Because of Ben’s late streaming hours, look for more popular titles to be streamed earlier and more regularly. If Ben streams something after, it’s a perfect time to work in some additional hours for the community’s favorite multiplayer titles, like Splatoon 2 or Fortnite.
These streams will have an intense focus on critical analysis, so the games will usually be either a) classics that innovated in their respective genres b) new games that have inventive mechanics, are well reviewed or involve an interesting narrative.
Games in the Rotation (prioritized):
Demon’s Souls [Current]
Kingdom Hearts 2.5
Mega Man 3
