100% On Spider-Man, Nearly Done The DLC

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday was a bit positive, as the fridge is fully full to the point I have to dispose of some leftovers earlier than I intended, since I'm trying to control my eating, meaning some things are lasting longer than normal.

Last night's stream of Spider-Man saw us completing the 2nd installment of the City That Never Sleeps story, which saw Yuri starting to snap and Hammerhead being presented as a major villain. During the course of this, we got enough base and challenge tokens to get the final costumes to get the last trophy of the base game to get the Platinum, making Spider-Man only the 10th game I've ever completed on PlayStation consoles (and yes I do count the DLC trophies as being separate).

So things set up rather nicely for next Friday's stream, with luck we can get every trophy for the final installment of the City That Never Sleeps to 100% it as well, which would level the two trophies associated with New Game+ and playing the game on the hardest difficulty. Since both of those are considered DLC, I'll consider doing a New Game+ on Ultimate difficulty... next year... assuming my life is not upended due to various fears and concerns I have.

For the raid we dropped in on Felkimchi over at twitch.tv/felkimchi as they were playing World of Warcraft 

Striker won't be joining us this week, so instead of Elder Scrolls Online we'll be doing something random, in fact I've talked about it recently, we're going to start up second play through of Mass Effect, namely the Xbox 360 version. The goal is to be paragon and an engineer, while focusing on having Ashley and Alenko as the companions throughout. Also of note, this will be the first play through of the original Mass Effect since 2020.

Which actually sets up the next seven streams quite nicely...

Tonight: Mass Effect
Sunday: Overwatch 2
Monday: Persona 3 Portable
Tuesday: Persona 3 Portable
Wednesday: Fall Guys & Resident Evil 5
Thursday: Mass Effect
Friday: Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps

Did do some achievement hunting in Rock Band 4, trying out its Tour Campaign, which is quite a lot of fun, and allows a bit of customization.

Rock Band 4 Achievements

  • Legend of Stage and Screen: Earned "Legendary" stage presence in a show.
  • Duly Impressed: Earned "Impressive" stage presence in a show.
  • Breaking Out: Left your hometown to go on tour in Career mode.
  • Local Favorite: Earned enough fans in a city to unlock a Fan Showcase in Career mode.
  • Gifted and Talented: Earned a custom guitar or clothing asset via Career mode.
  • Thank You, Good Night: Nailed an encore in Career mode.
  • Yeah, We Know That One: Nailed a request in Career mode.

Got started writing on one of the two commission requests yesterday, namely the WWE one, but more than likely the Mass Effect one will be finished before it, since the person who commissioned the WWE wants a super long story with a premise so thin it could be Casper.

My cousin Frances got ill recently, and I hope she has a speedy recovery! Once she's back at 100% we're doing some gaming together!

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