You take the 2016 calendar down, write &#8220;Twenty Sided Stream&#8221; in the very last box, and then throw it in the garbage. You hang the 2017 in its place, but it doesn&#8217;t become relevant until the day after this event. I suppose you can use the box for January 1st: &#8220;Twenty Sided Stream will be yesterday&#8221;. Or something like that. It doesn&#8217;t matter. <\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re the sort of person who needs to remind themselves about how they plan to spend the celebration of the New Year in 3 days, than maybe you need more help than a calendar has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever. I&#8217;ve gotten sidetracked. The point is, we&#8217;re doing the thing we always do every year, which is playing videogames. Josh is going to play some stuff. We&#8217;re going to hang out and make fun of the game, of him, of his choice in games, and of how he plays them.  <\/p>\n<p>What games? Good question. Josh promises it will be &#8220;a medley&#8221;. I know Overwatch is on the list, but that&#8217;s not going to last the entire night. Right now I&#8217;m campaigning for Grand Theft Auto V. I dunno. Nominate your choices in the comments. Or maybe don&#8217;t. Josh has a contrarian streak and will probably avoid anything that seems popular. You might think you could outwit him with reverse psychology and nominate what you <strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong> want him to play, but he&#8217;s clever and will simply play the requested game, which means you still end up with a game you don&#8217;t want except now it&#8217;s your own fault. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see. The event will start at 10PM on the east coast. <\/p>\n<p>Of which continent? <\/p>\n<p><em>Guess.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p>Or I suppose you could cheat and consult the following timer:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/free.timeanddate.com\/countdown\/i54ncro3\/n418\/cf100\/cm0\/cu4\/ct0\/cs0\/ca0\/cr0\/ss0\/cac000\/cpc000\/pcfff\/tcfff\/fs100\/szw320\/szh135\/tatNew%20Year%20Stream%20Begins%20in\/tac000\/tptTime%20since%20Event%20started%20in\/tpc000\/mac000\/mpc000\/iso2016-12-31T21:59:00\" allowTransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"320\" height=\"135\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The stream will go until the games run out of fun, or Josh runs out of booze.
