The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and other notes

Hi everyone,

Well today started with my electric and water bills both being paid straight away, so that was a hell of way to get things going. But things improved with some stocking up of a few goodies for the kitchen, some easy to peel oranges and a few things to go with stuff I already had. And I order a BBQ rib platter from Blowin' Smoque which was fucking delicious!

Also picked up the 2023 Convention Exclusive Funko Pop of Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers. 

On the down side, I am rather irritated with the idiots constantly littering on the sidewalk next to my house , found a near full set of Heineken bottles and the cardboard container just laying there, like fucking really?

Anyway, tonight's stream started at 5 PM Eastern as I'm experimenting with earlier weekend start times to off-set Monday to Thursday night streams being shorter in length. Tonight we featured The Texas Chain Saw Massacre which is available on Game Pass, and I can safely say I see the influence of Friday the 13th The Game (Since the same people are involved) along with Dead By Daylight, (Helps that Leatherface is in both games and basically handles the same way). The game is pretty much pick up and play, but the tutorial is a little lacking just giving broad over views in a video format.

I really don't have a favorite 'victim' yet, but as far as the Family members go, I really like Sissy because she can actually sustain a chase through most maps and follow through narrow passages. Leatherface and Johnny are pretty cool as well, but i really don't like The Hitchkiker or The Cook.

Will we feature this game again? Probably, we can play a little after doing some Resident Evil 6 some on Wednesdays. 

On a side note, the stream did go down for about 10 minutes due to an outage from Xfinity, and they said there is scheduled maintenance this evening at 1 AM, so hopefully whatever was going on they fix.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/elegantlyslays which was also featuring The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Did a fair bit of writing this afternoon as well, finishing of a WWE Short story commission while forgetting one of the details that was requested (which I felt bad about), and started on another Persona 5 related story. Did pick up another short story commission based on Resident Evil which I'll start tomorrow afternoon.

Of course on Monday I have an in-person interview at what was West Jersey Hospital. I'll take a Uber to get there and probably take buses back. 

Our next stream is scheduled for 5 PM on Sunday evening over on twitch.tv/fredcasden, which will feature Overwatch!

And on that note, good night!

The Last of Us Part II and other notes

 Hi everyone,

We had work tonight, and we was another great night, getting five interview completed. Also took thethe talent assessment test for Comcast, which I hope might lead to something, and I may be able to schedule an interview for Subaru, which has a major office complex in my home town.There is a challenge because all the nearest dates and times are already filled!

Tonight's stream of The Last of Us Part II finally saw us reaching the point where Abby and Ellie meet face to face after the later was hunting down the former's crew, and now we get to see Abby's story, because as I said on stream (and will in an episode of Head Canon in a few weeks) Joel deserved what she got. Now having the added context that it was Abby's father who Joel offed at the end of the first game. 

But what really stands out about Abby is that she is freaking jacked, I mean dude, she has some massive arms, which I wonder is symbolic of her wanting to hunt down of Joel. There's also some complex details regarding her crew of associates that has me a bit curious as to whey they were like before Ellie knocked them off one by one.

The Last of Us Part II Trophies

• Sharpshooter: Win the marksmanship competition
• Mint Condition: Find 5 coins

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/mst3k , the offical Twitch channel for Mystery Science Theater 3000

Had to throw out one commission request because the client basically was filling so many messages to my inbox that it became intolerable. Which was a shame, but I do have a policy that states just because someone has a commission story in progress does not give them the write to try and have my full attention. So instead of two back to back WWE short stories in the works.

Our next stream over on twitch.tv/fredcasden is schedules for 5 PM Eastern on Saturday Night and will feature the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, since it's on Game Pass, making it a perfect little item to feature.

So on that note, have a good night everyone!
