Saints Row '22 is finished!

Good morning everyone,

Last night we finished Saints Row, and I have to say, in certainly went in a direction I wasn't expecting. Obviously the big betrayal angle was well telegraphed, but the reason for it was certainly unexpected The Nahualli wanting to take Kev, Neenah and Eli to be his own friends after seeing how they made The Boss better. Then there was the entire 'Life is Strange' style segment that really got weird, before the epic show down and wrapping up of the story. I really did like it ended with just an old fashion duel, but I feel I had the wrong weapon equipped considering the animation indicated it was supposed to be a revolver.

We did go on to do everything reasonably possible in a single play through, completing every single district, placing every venture.. and the big pay off being the Saints singing Love Shack was pretty sweet. We also went after some 'easy' achievements that I didn't do, so I ended up with 44 out of 50 achievements... and I really have no interest in the remaining six, two of which involve multiplayer. 

In terms of what's the Next Monday-Tuesday game, it's going to be WWE 2K22, and I've already went ahead and knock out a bunch of achievements right off the bat. Now there are two story modes in it, we'll probably do just the female one first obviously, and depending how long it takes we'll do the one for a male superstar. On a side note, not sure if I like the control scheme this game has in comparison to what was sort of the standard for nearly 20 years

For the raid, we dropped in on PowerThumbZ as they were playing Prey over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

The job hunt is... going... not sure if I would say 'well' at this point

Finally finished the Mass Effect short story commission, and it's up at all the usual places. Next commission request is for a WWE one based on things that happened at the recent Royal Rumble event.

All recorded another VHS box tapes... finding one movie where Chuck Norris plays the villain... yeah crazy I know! That video will premier next Wednesday on my YouTube channel.
