Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream started an hour late because I got held up taking care of things while waiting for dinner to arrive.Granted part of this was also caused by unusual sleep pattern as of late.

Anyway, in Cyberpunk 2077 we focused on three achievements revolving around side activities in the Phantom Liberty expansion before  advancing the main story a bit, getting Reed, meeting Alex and seeing that once again V is going have to sneak into a very larger skyscraper tower. 

So far I've been given very little reason to like Reed and his whole 'need to know' approach. At the same time, I suspect the big emphasis on the Blackwall, which was not really a factor in the base game is something that is being set up for a sequel game.

Next time we'll be playing Cyberpunk 2077 will be on Monday night.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Achievements

• Easy Come, Easy Go: Steal the Arasaka medical truck or deliver 10 vehicles to El Capitan.
• Judgement Day: Eliminate three bosses from the "Increased criminal activity" category.
• The APB is Not Enough: Become Dogtown's most wanted criminal.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Our next stream on Sunday nigh over at twitch.tv/fredcasden, which should start at 5 PM Eastern, will featured Overwatch as we're just days away from the Halloween events

Got some writing done, knocking out a Resident Evil story commission and getting the go ahead to do a continuation.

Also started a side story based around Extreme Ghostbusters, taking a slight break from my Persona story

Those are really all my notes for today!

Have a good night!

 

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Horizon Zero Dawn saw us casually roam into the area that was part of a DLC expansion for the game, but instead of  focusing on that I went back to exploring and pushing westward towards Meridian... but I got side tracked looking for things and exploring. Kind of amazed at how many camps there are, with quite a few being close together. 

Next time we play HZD we'll have a choice of pushing forward with the main story or doing the DLC content, since I'm about the right level for it. Plus it's a more condensed area (more or less)

Horizon Zero Dawn Trophies

• Fought back the corruption: Destroyed the corruption inside the Nora valley.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/starmagegaming who was playing Party Animals 

Our next stream is scheduled for Saturday at 5 PM Eastern with the continuation of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

The Phillies and Braves begin their Division Series on Saturday, and I'll be honest, I think everything lines up well for the Braves in this series, but we'll see how it all plays out.

Knocked out the Spider-Man short story commission today, and the next one on the docket is for Resident Evil, which I should be able to take care of in a good amount of time. Big thanks to everyone who has been commissioning stories, it mans a lot!

Might do an extra story this month for Halloween, question is what do I base it on?

Work was solid tonight, we got an assignment were things flowed nicely, able to adjust some wording without too much hassle and not being bogged down.

And on that note, good night!

Cybperunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream got off to a rough start because apparently Cyberpunk 2077 and its DLC expansion Phantom Liberty don't update as a single game like you know... every other fucking game on the planet, so the first 30 mintues was a complete wash. Once the two updates (when one was really needed) was done, a bunch of achievements that I know I didn't unlock related to the base game popped, meaning I'm two achievements away from completing the default achievements.

As far as the actually playing the game knocked out a few side quests, 'claimed' a few cars and generally made sure anything doable was done before advancing the plot, getting Idris Elba's character involved and seeing just how nutty things can go. Trying to make sure I don't do anything that kicks me from the Phantom Liberty content since some choices can and will be a factor

Next time we'll be playing it will be on Saturday's stream at 5 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Of course Friday's stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern and will see us playing Horizon Zero Dawn

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• The Devil: Help Takemura avenge the death of Saburo Arasaka.
• Gunslinger: Shoot an enemy grenade in midair with a revolver.
• Two Heads, One Bullet: Kill or incapacitate 2 enemies with the same sniper rifle shot.
• Rough Landing: While Berserk cyberware is active, perform a Superhero Landing to kill or incapacitate 2 enemies.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/sweetlindir who was playing Smite 

Work was okay, not as draggy as the other nights this week... didn't get any completed interviews, just people who feel outside the parameters.

Finished the last WWE related commission story that I had booked today, and now I have two commissions based on something else to do, one for Spider-Man and another for Resident Evil.

I did actually force myself to do something not related to work, writing or streaming and sat down to watch RWBY / Justice League Part 1... and I thought it was okay, unfortunately unlike the comic book the first crossover, the film didn't have the balls to fully commit to having the DC Heroes being natives to the world of Remnant, and went with a half-baked trapped in a virtual reality world story. Now it was part 1 and there was a tease that there was another villain involved, so hopefully when part 2 comes out, it'll be better.

And on that note, good night!

Journey to the Savage Planet and other notes

Hi everyone,

Well the Phillies crushed the Marlins tonight to go on to face the Barves in the Division Round of the Playoffs... in a rematch of the same Division Series from last year. It's going to be interesting follow

Tonight's stream featured Journey to the Savage Planet, and following some issues in me being unable to hear Iceman and invites not working, we were able to get into a lot of exploring and finding the resources needed to unlock new gimmicks to help reach new areas... when we weren't figuring our own ways of getting around stuff. Looking forward to the next time we play it, which is slated for next Wednesday.

Journey to the Savage Planet: Employee of the Month Edition Achievements

• Return To Sender: Retrieved your own loot box. Death is no excuse for leaving behind Kindred property!
• I Want To Go Home. Eventually.: Marked your first fuel pod. Momma, I'm coming home!
• That's all people really want to do...: Kick 10 Pufferbirds in 45 seconds. It's why you bought the game. We get it.
• We came, We Saw, We Kicked Its Ass: Crack Cragclaw with a Co-Op partner. Teamwork really does make the dream work.
• Cragclaw Defeated: Cragclaw down. Break out the garlic butter! 

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/zonesama during Cecilia Littlewing's marthone of retro television 

Our next stream is slated for Thursday night at 9:30 PM Eastern with Cyberpunk 2077, continuing doing stuff related to Phantom Liberty

Work tonight was okay, got a solid interview done right off the back before it became mundane and mind numbing in the final hour.

Finished the Watch Dogs commission story requests and got started on the WWE commission request straight away, trying to make it different from another similar is going to be a challenge. Also in the queue are commission stories based on Spider-Man and Resident Evil

Picked up a birthday present for my niece, as well as some sweatpants and the 2nd Justice League / RWBY crossover

And on that note, good night!

The Evil Within 2 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream lasted longer than expected because we went ahead and finished The Evil Within 2, and while it does tease a future story at the end of the credits, for the most part it serves as a nice closing chapter. The cheats certainly made the game a lot more fun as I was able to put in a real effort on trying to find everything... even though we didn't find everything except the slides in the end, which is amazing to me. I actually do like The Evil Within 2 more than the original game as the states were properly raised.

Would I play it again? More than likely yes for achievement clean up along and trying to find stuff we missed (statues, files, mystery objects, etcs), as the cheats will certainly make it even more fun since we'll be over powered! Woo-Hoo!

The Evil Within 2 Achievements

• Melancholy Memories: Reminisced about every moment from your past. (Ch. 12)
• Spiritual Awakening: Came to terms with your past and present.
• Sykes Out: Completed the "The Last Step" side mission.
• Chatting With Kidman: Talked to Kidman about all of the photographic slides.
• I'll Take You Down Myself: Brought your own equipment to the barbecue this time. (Ch. 14)
• Overcome the Past: Your trauma is no more.
• Everything Comes Crumbling Down: Reached the very end of the world.
• Unfortunate Consequence: Did what needed to be done to save your daughter.
• Survivor: Completed the game on Survival difficulty or higher.
• Rookie: Completed the game on Casual difficulty or higher.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/elegantlyslays who was playing Resident Evil 4 and Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Our next stream over on twitch.tv/fredcasden is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern as Iceman and I will continue Journey to the Savage Planet

With the Evil Within 2 wrapped up Cyberpunk 2077 will move back to the multiple nights slot because of the Phantom Liberty content which we started on Saturday.

The Phillies one game one of the Wild Card series against the Marlins with some good pitching and timely hitting, they win tomorrow then it's on to the Division series against the Braves... who probably won't be as unnerved as they were last year.

Got some writing done, knocking out a wrestling related commission request then got to work on a Watch Dogs commission request, which will be a bit interesting to write.

Work tonight was okay, pretty straight forward, had a completed interview, and would've had another but the dude got tired of me having to repeat the questions.

I do have to do some laundry tomorrow, and I could use a few miscellanious items for the fridge... bread, some fruit and few other things.

So on that note good night!

The Evil Within 2 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's of The Evil Within 2 saw us make a good deal of progress, dealing with Stefano early on and then learning there's another dude behind everything. Sebastian blowing his personal demons away was a nice touch, but the convoluted with Myra and Kidman apparently plotting  the downfall of Mobius, which is something I can't wrap my head around. But again, the plot of Survivor Horror games are never the strong point.

Our next stream will be around 9:30 PM Eastern on Tuesday as we'll put up towards the end of Chapter 11 (because we did deal with the Liam boss fight). And of course the stream will be over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

The Evil Within 2 Achievements

• Premature Finale: Shut down a bloody performance.
• Kick, Shoot, Burn: Killed 2 or more enemies at once using oil on the ground.
• Another Ally: Survived an ordeal with the help of a new friend.
• Caffeine Addict: Used every Coffee Maker at least once.
• Finally Free: Experienced every traumatic encounter and made peace with your inner demons. 

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/lilmoolah_ who was doing a new playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077

Had a job interview today that looks like will go no where, mostly due to the distance of where the location is in relation to bus stops, which sucks. Was told they do have some remote position opening up in the near future... so... maybe I can get in on that.

Work tonight was solid, two interviews and a fairly straight forward evening. Had the choice of doing afternoons or nights, but since the assignment is the same on both shifts, I'll just roll on the evening train.

Have to remember to take another trip to the post office to mail off my ballot for the General Election this week.

Finished the latest chapter for my Persona story and knocked out another commission request for a WWE story... and the next one is also WWE related. Hell at least I know the ones coming down the line will focus on other genres (thank goodness)

Saw that the Overwatch Halloween event will tie in with Diablo, and the new Moira skin looks fucking awesome!

So on that note, have a good night folks!

Overwatch 2 and Other Notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was pretty fun for the most part, where Panda and I managed to get into matches with people who understood what their roles were allowing us to focus on what we need to do instead of trying to carry a slacker. And speaking of PandaSweet, it's always great to have them in on the action, and they were with us nearly the whole stream!

I picked two plays of the game as Junker Queen, and alos played as Reinhardt, Tracer, Sombra, Torbjourn, Bastion, Ana, Moira, and a few other characters. Also won my 3000th match. Woo-Hoo!

Our next stream s scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and will see us getting back to The Evil Within

For the raid we sent to twitch.tv/kalenal during their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

The Phillies will be facing the Marlins in the Wild Card round of the playoffs... and one could argue the Marlins are the favorites.

Knocked out another commission story today, the first of a trio of WWE / Wrestling related stories.

After winning 3 weeks in a row, my Fantasy Football team had a bad week with some palyers getting hurt during their games.

Have a job interview at 1 PM on Monday, so hopefully it goes well.

Have a good night everyone.
