DuckTales Remastered and other notes

Tonight's stream featured DuckTales Remasted, namely the Xbox 360 version of the game, and I was reminded as to why it's been so many years since I last played it, in particularly, the DMCA issue with the game and it's music. I look forward to seeing at how many trips through the editor it's going to be on the YouTube side.

Gameplay wise, it's a fine two button platformer, and I should've played it on easy from the start because I forgot how punishing DuckTales can be on timing jumps to get through enemies and obstacles. In fact we probably wasted close to an hour on the Amazon stage alone before I restarted and switched it from Normal to Easy.

The big difference is that on Easy, each hit you take counts for a half a heart, and you get unlimited continues. On Normal, you're limited to a fixed number of lives.

It was great that the original cast from the DuckTales cartoon was featured one last time, June Foray as Magica Da Spell is always a treat

Our next stream will feature Dead by Daylight, which will be the first time we've played it on Twitch since 2019.

For the raid we went over to lilmoolah_ who was playing Baldur's Gate 3

Woke up with a bit of a head cold today so I didn't finish the commission WWE/MMA story I had on the agenda for today, I will be knocking that out before I got to bed since it's about 90% finished

Tomorrow will be a full day as I have to record my review of DuckTales Remastered and also start work on the next commission story based on Ant-Man

Following that story, I have three commission this week based on Spider-Man Star Wars and Resident Evil, with the last two being very similar in nature which will be a pain to make different.

Work was solid, even if the entire Israeli / Palestinian conflict is going to be a tough subject for many people to talk about.

Good night!
