I Ain't 'Fraid of No Ghost

 Good morning everyone

Last night's stream started early at about 5:15 PM Eastern because I was annoyed with something work related which I shall go into detail later. Anyway the game of the night Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered which was the 2019 re-release of the 2008 game.

Now I'm very familiar with Ghostbusters; The Video Game, having played the 2008 PlayStation 3version on day one, and it so good, in terms of how it controls, the environments and little Easter eggs are perfectly laid out, the voice action is great (except for Bill Murray), and it's no surprise that with an early start we were able to tear through it in about six hours... thought I was disappointed I missed a few obvious moments of destruction, a few ghost scans and collectables along the way. I thought I was pretty thorough, but I guess I wasn't if I missed them. But Ghostbusters The Video Game does have mission replay, so going back to find the things missed would be fairly even with a check list of sorts.

For a lot of fans, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is considered to be the 'third movie' as it brings in a lot of plot elements from the first two films, and explaining quite a few little works about the 'cinematic Ghostbusters universe', this game is also a huge reason why the 2016 abomination directed by Paul Feig was not well received, because the game continued the story, while the 'reboot' tried to white-wash over everything. The 2008 game was what fans wanted, they expected and thankfully this November, we'll be seeing a proper continuation with Ghostbusters Afterlife.

Now as excited as I am to see Ghostbusters Afterlife, I have no intention to see it in theathers because of COVID and my lack of trust in people in general for being vaccinated, or for AMC to have a manage that masks be worn at all times. So I'll wait to see if Sony is going to allow folks to stream it from home, or if we'll just wait for the digital home release through Amazon.

Now by finishing Ghostubsters The Video Game Remastered, we have tied last years total of games finished of 48, and so the next game I consider to be finished will break the record. Gears of War 3, but so is Until Dawn and the factor of me choosing to try and beat another Street Fighter arcade game.

Big thanks to Kalenal (twitch.tv/kalenal) for the huge raid, they were playing Tales of Vesperia on Monday night, and you can catch them again on Wednesdays and Saturdays!  

Following the stream, we sent the fun over to sw33ts_gaming at twitch.tv/sw33ts_gaming and they were playing It Takes Two, and boy does that game look so much fun! I wonder if it's online co-op or is it strictly local co-op.

Something that pissed right the hell off yesterday was someone at my day job was given my ID to log in as their own, they deleted my information and schedule for this week, and no one bother  to realize it until the call room manager to ask what my schedule was for this week! Needless to say I was, and still am real fucking livid about it, and I will be double checking everything today before I start working.

Tonight the Phillies begin a do or die three game set against the Braves , they are 2.5 games behind Atlanta in the National Least East. The Phillies must win all three games. One lost and the season is done. Yes they got the series against the Mets starting on Friday, but remember, the Braves have a make-up game against the Rockies that can be a factor.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 31 minutes with the following exercises: Left-Right Step Combo, Double Combo #2 and Advanced Combo #2. The estimated calorie burn was 554 kcal. This was nearly a perfect session but I missed timed something during Advanced Combo #2... probably a straight or a jab, but since it registered as 'OK' and a not as a 'MISS', it's impossible to be sure.

Not totally sure what we're doing for tonight's stream, as I kind of expected Ghostbusters to take two nights, but since we did an early start yesterday and I know that game so well, that means we have an extra night to fill. I'll come up with something fun you can count on that!

Anyway see ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
