Sonic Forces and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight we started up Sonic Forces, and while I had played it before, relearning how to play the game after several years proved to be a challenge, resulting in me not catching on to attack patterns or noticing when obvious dangers (like pits, spikes and enemies) appearing in my path. Good news is we did clear about half of the game and got a fair share of A and S ranks. Of course, I do remember how difficult some of the final stages get, so the questions is will I be able to finish it on Thursday's stream? That really depends, if I ignore all SOS mission notifications it's possible.

Of course I did have to talk about how Sonic Forces potential since it does have a similar premise to the Sonic SatAM series from the 90s, and I know I'll bring it up when I eventually do a casual review of it!

Anyway our next stream on Wednesday will feature Journey to the Savage planet as Iceman and I will continue with what was originally the DLC content for the game. Curious to see the expanded area.

For the raid we went over to xlunagoddess who was playing Life is Strange 2

Knocked out a Superman related story commission today, and I have to say that I'm really annoyed at how Superboy is depicted in the Reign of the Superman film... he was not a foot shorter than Lois Lane in the comics back in 1993!

Next story commission is inspired by the Marvel Spider-Man games on the PS4, taking place with Peter and Mary Jane in Symkaria.

Didn't have work for the second day in a row, but I'll be damned if I can remember when was the last time I ever worked election night during my time as a market research interviewer. Should have work on Wednesday!

Good night!
