Good afternoon everyone,
Well, looks like things might be slow until after the New Year's Holiday, so I guess I better work on a commission fan fic or two. Well already started on the one that's already in the pipeline.
Anyway, last night's stream of Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise may have seemed not very productive because I only accomplished one achievement (aka trophy), but considering all the side content and how I"m figuring various things out to maximize the rewards, it seems to be for the best.
Perhaps that one thing that took up the most time was discovering the Doctor Kenshiro mini-game, where one must time button presses in sequence to the music to heal patients and eliminate thugs, and it's a madcap bit of fun. Managed to get a B-Rank or higher on mostly every track, the Turkish March is particularly maddening. Still, the idea of Kenshiro as a doctor, and hey, I get to make 'turn your head and cough' and 'Time to check the prostate' jokes every time I play that mini game
Also unlocked the racing mini-game, and I didn't really dive to deep into it as it appears that it will require getting to various points for the races. It might be worth seeing how difficult the races become. Unlocked two harder difficulties for the 'batting practice' mini game, and kind of gained a bit of understanding as it relates to the Club Manager Ken stuff
In terms of the actual plot, we found Xsana's father alive and well, but he's keeping his distance considering actions he did that Xsana isn't too fond of, and we also found Yuria, so for all intents and purposes Kenshiro has reason to stay in Eden. Also the next big bad roll in to set up Chapter 7, so at the very least the next time we play Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise we are leading off with some action.!
After the stream we sent the fun over to Flint_Locke who was doing a music stream! You can find them over at twitch.tv/flint_locke!

Did a little achievement hunting last night as well... actually managed to trigger Akuma in Super Street Fighter II Turbo in the 30th Anniversary Collect. Also surprised at how much nonsense is involved with Street Fighter IV's achievements.

Well I finally found something in a quest line in Final Fantasy XIV which I hate, and that is the G-Warrior, which is apart of the The Sorrow of Werlyt Quests. I can totally understand playing as the companion characters... it's a stupid gimmick, but it kind of makes sense to some degree. But to introduce a concept that is clearly ripping from Gundum Wing and Super Sentai with no rhyme or reason other than someone at Square Enix was clearly high as fuck to think it was a good idea.
I get it, that Neon Genesis Evagelion, the most over-rated anime and manga of all time, still has some influence, but for fucks stake, if that was the case, don't make a cumbersome, sluggish gimmick! It took me an hour to get through the fight that is within the quest 'Sleep Now in Sapphire', and while the story and plot going forward are intriguing the entire episode left a very sour taste in my mouth.
For tonight's stream, it's going to be split with Forza Horizon 4 in the first half and Gears 5 in the second half. Now the plan is for both Iceman and LvStkR to be apart of the Gears 5 shenanigans, so this should be a lot of fun.
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
