RetroMania Wrestling & Other Notes

 Hi everyone,

On tonight's stream we played RetroMania Wrestling, the much hyped up throw back to the days of WWF WrestleFest, with a roster of 17 mostly known (not exactly) well wrestlers featuring the likes of Austin Idol, Nick Aldis, the Road Warrirors, and the Blue World Order. Game is pretty much pick up and play, the story mode does have a nice little tutorial to get you used to things, but since it's modeled after WrestleFest, it can be a bit button mashy, yet there is such a thing a being able to time stuff to make cool stuff happened. 

The story mode has a bit of a choose your own adventure vibe to it at time, tag team and six man tags are a lot of fun, but the real chaos is the Retro Rumble with eight characters on the screen at once, making it hard to see where you're at.The 10 pounds of gold is basically your standard arcade ladder, but it's a bit repeative as you go through 5 matches to get the NWA title, then 5 matches defending it, with matches following a pattern where there will be a 3-way Elimination, Fatal Four Way and 2 out of 3 fall cage matches taking place.

Plenty of achievements, and we got about half of them, several of which are character related and tied to doing certain things, Good news is several can be combined and done in a single match. 

Since we covered the story mode and explored the game thoroughly I will count it as a finished game for this year's tour.

Next stream is slated for 9:30 PM Eastern, and will feature Horizon Zero Dawn

Work was okay, couple of interviews, but it was solid to make me feel good.

Knocked out a commission request for a Resident Evil related story and tried to explain some things in the continuity that I've established. I believe the next commission request is for something based on Arrow.

Phillies lost a game tough one, so now they lead the Diamondbacks 2 games to 1, so with luck they win one of the next two games and come back to Philly up 3 games to 2. Preferably we want the Phillies to win the next two games but when it comes to baseball I think logically.

Those are all my notes for today

Good night!

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...
