Day of the Tentacle and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Day of the Tentacle was a lot of fun, as I remembered quite a lot of the game considering I've played it a lot since the mid 1990s, not to mention remembering some of the achievements from the Steam version, so we were knocking Xbox achievements out in rapid succession, while also not skimping on any of the games content. We'll easily wrap up Day of the Tentacle on Tuesday night's stream (which is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden)

I am impressed with how well the Mouse and Keyboard controls were adapted for use with a game pad, which made doing a couple of repeated actions a hell of a lot quicker (such as ringing the bell 100 times), which makes me curious to see how other point and click games were adapted to console play

Tonight's raid was to twitch.tv/lilmoolah_ where Cyberpunk 2077 was being featured 

Word was alright today, picked one interview which made me feel productive and so we get to do it again tomorrow lol.

Knocked out a Resident Evil commission request, which I felt was a little lackluster, but at the same time it was introducing the character of Ada Wong to the nonsense that was established already. Picked up another commission request based on the TV series Arrow to try and feature China White, which is going to be though considering  I don't remember that character at all.

Phillies won tonight, going up 1-0 in the NLCS against the Diamondbacks, now they just need 3 more wins to make to the the World Series.

Good night folks
