Ghostbusting, BioShocking and GoldenEye''ing?

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday was mostly a chill day, spoke to my Cousin Raymond for a bit which was cool, learned a few things that I was not aware of, but glad to know he's doing well. Also hoping the best for his daughter who I met at mom's funeral... she too is battling cancer. Also spoke to another family member who we call Lisa Chiquita (mostly to differentiate between her and mom, who used Lisa as a nickname), the conversation was interesting, and makes me grateful that my younger brother is much wiser than I am.

The stream itself opened with Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleash, and we had a few issues getting into actual matches... but we did have a several good matches, winning as a Ghost and as a Ghostbuster. The new map is certainly interesting to get around in, has quite a few narrow areas where a skilled ghost player can ambush Ghostbusters easily depending on if they are focused on Rifts and Civilians. I do love the fact that the hair styles from the Real Ghostbusters cartoon are now in the game, makes me wonder of the Extreme Ghostbusters hair styles will be eventually added.

Next was Bioshock Infinite on the PS3 for the first time, and it certainly has style to it, but my dislike for the controls in having to remember the bumpers are for using powers and weapons while the triggers are for swapping said powers and weapons would certainly get me in trouble if I was playing on normal difficulty. Did managed to reach Monument Island, but I think I would want to restart the play through from the beginning.You know what's funny? I thought I had the BioShock collection on Xbox... but turns out I don't... I do have it on Steam.

Of course the reasons we used the PS3 was because for some reason the PS2 was not sending a signal and I don't know why, as I thought I had that figured out months ago. Oh well...

Lastly, we tried out GoldenEye 007, and I never played the N64 version... and boy was trying to understand the controls a bit of an issue at first. Managed to at least get through the first level... and nearly finished the 2nd level before making some bad mistakes. I can see why people loved this game back in the 90s... but how did they play it with just one analog stick on the N64 controller?!  

Also was super cool to see my cousin Frances really getting included in my Twitch community, it really is awesome to have her and also my Aunt Grace watching either live or catching the replays.

For the raid we sent folks over to Tokushoutsu during a marathon of Gekisou Sentai Carranger over at twitch.tv/Tokushoutsu. Carranger is the Sentai series that became Power Rangers Turbo here in the United States.
