American McGee's Alice has some wonky controls

Good morning everyone,

Got some groceries yesterday and did some writing both on my own original idea story based on Persona 5 for my SubscribeStar followesr and on the latest WWE commission request. 

Last night stream featured more Alice Madness Returns, or rather, the game within the game, American McGee's Alice, which was the original game released in 2000 on Windows PC. Needless to say, I had a hard time getting used to the real wonky controls, trying to attack, jump and dodge is not exactly easy... so I can't imagine how anyone was doing it with a mouse & keyboard 23 years ago. The camera is decent so I can keep track of most enemies,

Near as I can tell we cleared about half of the game so far, based on the list of areas I found, and judging by the face it has only six achievements, so there is the potential of finishing the game on tonight's stream, which actually would be cool if I can pull that off. No guarantee though consider how screwy some areas were.

American McGee's Alice Achievements

  • Madness Begins: In American McGee’s Alice, Complete Village of the Doomed
  • Skool-Leaver: In American McGee’s Alice, Complete Fortress of Door
  • Out of the Woods: In American McGee’s Alice, Complete Wonderland Woods

For the raid, we dropped in on PowerThumbz during their stream of Daymare 1998 over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

Tucker Carlson was fired yesterday, and I can imagine he won't be the last considering some of the behavior of many of Fox's other personalities. 

I did watch Power Rangers: Once and Always... and I'll just say it, thank goodness Jason David Frank was not involved in it, because he would have taken away from the core story. In fact, the one person who would've added a lt would've been Amy Jo Johnson, but I'm really only saying that because footage of what she said during the memorial for Thuy Trang back in 2001 can be found on YouTube.

After 100 runs I'm still not sure how many more engagements with Megara I need to get her to pop up in Zagreus's chambers to get the last damn achievement in Hades!

Did mess around a bit with the Xbox version of Diablo III, as I am considering getting Diablo IV since that is going to have cross-play.

My fantasy baseball team is doing alright so far, granted it features a lot of Phillies on it... but hey, aftter a couple of weeks, at least I'm not getting blown out.

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...
