First Impressions Of Hi-Fi Rush

 Good morning everyone,

First an update regarding my billing issue with PSE&G, apparently, when I got things sorted with the accounts following my mom's passing, no one told me that I would have to wait a billing cycle to have everything implemented back the way it was before. So that explained that sudden panic attack I had.

Anyway, work yesterday was really good, minus the fact the final hour was cut because they needed things fixed for the evening shift... not sure why that would affect those of us on the assignment I've been on since i t doesn't run in the evenings.

Last night we started up Hi-Fi Rush... and I'm really glad I'm playing it on the lowest possible difficulty, because the rhythm patterns and beat isn't something I can hear since I'm not using earbuds or headphones to listen to the game's music. Still I love the art design and the game play is solid. I'm certainly relying on as much basic stuff as I can to overwhelm enemies quickly... and i could do without the parry system. 

Still it's very fun and I do find myself looking to explore everything to see if I can find any secrets along the way. Which means that levels that should probably take me 30 minutes to complete take an hour

We'll continue Hi-Fi Rush on Monday, in what I believe is the middle of the third chapters (as we met The 2nd of the ally characters)

For the raid we dropped in on PowerThumbz as he was still playing Prey over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

The plan for tonight is to open with Fall Guys, then at 9 PM we'll be switching over to Resident Evil 5 with Iceman to continue our co-op adventures!  

Got a fair amount of writing done regarding the Daria commission request, I'll be looking to finish it after tonight's stream.

Really pondering how I'll going to layout the basement once the Deep Freezer is out of it, because I think I'll some stuff in that far corner. Really considering adding another bookshelf or two as well.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
