Good morning everybody,
Last night's stream was totally focused on DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power as we cleared everything up through the end of Chapter 3. The obvious parallels between this game and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic really is starting to show with some of the plot developments, with a build towards the heroes and villains looking like will be working towards a common goal, particularly since the ending of chapter 3 basically sees an obvious set up for Bumblebee becoming friends with Giganta, at least through their secret identities of Karen and Doris.There are obvious things that are pretty much ripe for fan fic exploitation to the point I'm hoping I can commission Drace Domino (the author of Rise of the Battlebitch) to write at least one. Now of course I could write my idea myself, but I hate writing dialog. Just to give an idea of how out of context some things can be in this game, there is an entire dialog sequence between Diana (Wonder Woman) and Jessica (Green Lantern) about how the former needs practice being with a man
Anyway here are some clips from last night's stream:
Twitch Clip: Boot To Livewire's Head (also note how her attacks are telegraphed)
Twitch Clip: Got The Hamster!
Twitch Clip: Jessica is Oblivious To Pamela's Trauma
Twitch Clip: Supergirl Breaks Stuff
Twitch Clip: Defending a building
Following the stream I went on to finish my APBA Baseball 1993 Season, and of course you can find every box score here for the games I played. I didn't make any major roster switchers outside of bringing in three 'Farm System' catches (two from the White Sox one from the Padres) to the Phillies roster because of how Todd Pratt kept wearing down quick when used, There was also some weirdness involving the Twins whose entire pitching staff (including Farm System) was injured so position players had to be used.
Also loaded up Trover Saves The Universe to start chasing down some stray achievements, the list of what I accomplished is the following.
- BALL FUN TIME: Bounce a ball 25 times in the apartment, because apparently that's more fun than the actual game.
- Final Upgrade!: You got the final upgrade! You're all sticky, like a popsicle stick!
- Bet You Can't Make 100: You made 10 baskets, now make 100! Come on, what else do you gotta do today?
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was 37 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 574 kcal. We unlocked the Laure's Buddy achievement today (Perform 10 free exercises with Laura) so now we turn our attention to the Laura's Best Friend achievement, which is to reach a trusting partnership with Laura, and we're already at 50 out of 100 for it. Steady progress is of course steady with Fitness Boxing 2.
We added several more PlayStation 4 games to the collection:, Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us Part II, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, Until Dawn, and the Quantic Dream Collection which included Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls (Both of which I have for the PS3), but the real bargain here was Detroit Become Human. Yes it was actually cheaper to get the collection than to get get Detroit Become Human by itself. Go figure. More than likely we'll do a PS4 stream on Friday of this week.
Of course most people who know me know that I don't have a special attachment or nostalgia for the original version of Final Fantasy VII, so why would I play the remake? Well for one I did enjoy Final Fantasy XV, and if FFVII-R plays anything like that then I should be able to brute force my way through the game. Of course since we just got the PS4, that means unless I get a PS5 by the time I start playing FFVII-R, I won't be able to play the Intergrade content, but that's fine, it'll be awhile before I get to FFVII-R anyway.
For tonight's stream, it's Sunday which means Overwatch is on deck! There are no new challenges or things to accomplish, so we'll just be playing Quick Play matches.... unless we have Mayhem after the 8 PM hour... then we'll be playing nothing but Mayhem matches!
And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
