The Expanse, Ghostbusters and other notes!

 Hi Everyone,

Tonight's stream opened up with episode two of The Expanse: A TellTale Series, and we purposefully went to get every single achievement possible that was not related to the one character we threw out the airlock in episode one. I was really pleased with episode two, as it allowed for some great character moments and interactions, plus some really obvious choices being made. Khan is probably my favorite character in her clearly just being a crotchety old lady who is a total bad ass. Also liked Virgil's backstory as well, and the possibility of unifying the crew is the best way to do things.

  • Drug Gifter: Give the Twins some Medicine

  • Debris Spree: Complete Episode 2 with all Scavenge Items
  • Data Master: Complete Episode 2 with all Data Logs

We also featured Ghostbusters Spirits Unleash, experiencing the newest map and seeing a lot of the Ghostypes, along with the fact that the ghostbuster equipment can be customized to look like the gear seen in the Real, Extreme and 2016 extended universes of the franchise. While we mostly played as Ghostbuster (complete with fishnet stockings lol), we did do one match as a ghost, which was quite fun.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/elegantlyslays where elegantlyslays was playing Friday The 13th The Game. They ran into some cheaters,  and with the game so close to shutting down I don't blame them for not wanting give screen time.

Got a 40th commission request for a Mass Effect story, this time revolving around the Party that takes place during the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3. This might take a few days to write because of all the things I want to try and include for the client. 

Came across a great clip from Boston Legal where the Alan Shore character goes into just how stupid and exploitive the pharmaceutical is  to having a drug for every disease in comparison to the hypocrisy of religion towards its bigotry towards homosexuality. I mean both industrys (and yes religion is an industry) exploit people's fear of getting stick and fear of something different for blatant profit and do so with no shame.

In regards to the bit of yard work (well cutting branches) I mention last night, well I did that today as I was able to pick up some extra groceries thanks to the funds I earned writing short story commissions so far this month.

Our next stream is slated for 7 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and we'll feature the three story missions of Overwatch 2 that were added this week before we get into Quick Play matches. I've already played the story missions off stream, but it's going to be nice to feature them on stream.

So with that, have a good night everyone!
