Today's Notes 5/11/21

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream was really good, particularly in regards to achievement hunting. The game for the night was Day of the Tentacle, and the remastered version that came out a few years ago has Steam achievements, and on the initial play-through in 2019, we came across 50% of them, so last night was about getting the majority of what was left, which involved learning that there were certain object combinations that could be use (such as combining a fork and cat while using Laverne).

Here's the full list of what we managed to get last night.

1. Music Appreciation Award: Reach yesterday without turning the stereo off
2. Rap Sheet: Forger: Try to sign the contract yourself with the quill pen
3. Alas, Our Lazy Speechwriters Didn't Cover This: Talk to Washington, Jefferson, or Hancock while they're outside
4. Master Plumber: Flush 50 objects through time
5. That Should Have Worked: Hoagie uses battery with Chron-o-John instead of plug
6. Now You're Pushing It: Try to microwave the hamster again after he's thawed out
7. Can't Win and Chew Gum at the Same Time: Laverne tries the chattering teeth on her human during the human show
8. ESRB Violation: Laverne thinks about eating the cat
9. Rap Sheet: Fraud: Try to alter the contract with Booboo-B-Gone
10. You Call That a Hint?: Try to wash the dirty car with the brush
11. Missing Pink: Try to mix the red paint and the Booboo-B-Gone
12. I'm Sure He'd Never Notice: Try to swap the textbook with the stamp album
13. That Joke Never Gets Old: Squirt five different people with disappearing ink
14. And Then the Universe Implodes: Try to mix the disappearing ink with Booboo-B-Gone
15. Voiding the Warranty: Try to put something metal in the microwave
16. And Then the Universe Explodes: Try to mix the decaf and caffeinated coffees
17. Most Annoying Guest Ever: Ring the front desk bell 100 times 

Now there are two achievements left but they are both tied to playing the Maniac Mansion game which I'm not to keen on, maybe that'll be an excuse to play Day of the Tentacle again next year.

Twitch Clip: Laugh Darn You!

Following DOTT, we had extra time so we loaded up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch for a few races, and went up against other people from around the world... and promptly got my ass kicked. Still had fun, but yeah, Mario Kart 8 is not exactly a racing game I go out of my way to play because of the weirdness of the control layout.

Big thanks to long time friend of the channel ShadowStrkr for gifting me Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons!

After the stream I messed around with Mortal Kombat 11 and discovered a few things, one that the story mode is its own separate download for whatever reason... and two that this game has some the most exploitable ways of getting achievements ever, with the use of AI battles to run through the towers. Now I've played in Mortal Kombats 1, 2, 3 (Vanilla and Ultimate), Trilogy, 4, Deception, Vs DC Universe, 9 & 10.... so I wonder where along the line did Nether Realm Studios choose to eventually make a Mortal Kombat simulator. Anyway here are the achievements we unlocked last night

1. Blood In The Water: Spill 10,000 pints of blood
2. Kollected: Perform 2 different FATALITIES with Kollector
3. Bugging Out: Perform 2 different FATALITIES with D'Vorah
4. Princess Power: Perform 2 different FATALITIES with Kitana
5. Struck Down: Perform 2 different FATALITIES with Raiden

Twitch Clip: I'll take a 9th place finish

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session lasted about 1/2 an hour, solid work out of three ten minute exercises. We're up to 89 points on Bernardo's Best Friend Achievement, so things are on track to get it done by Saturday! Also forgot to get the proper screen shot for today's session, but hey the main screen one shows my streak of 309 days!

Not completely sure what we'll be doing for tonight's stream as of yet, we might dive into Brothers to see if I can get through that in a single night with a blind play through if I don't come up with anything.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden
