Asura's Wrath And Other Notes

Tonight we wrapped up Asura's Wrath, and I do have to question as to why was episodes 19 to 22 which is the actual ending of the game's story not included when the game was originally release. Was Capcom that shady? And given how they monetized the hell out of Street Fighter IV, the answer is yes. Still I had a lot fun playing it, as and we ended up with a good chunk of achievements. We also featured the lost episodes that were the crossover with Street Fighter IV, and those were incredibly silly. I think I liked the Ryu vs Asura encoutner more than the Akuma one, but both were great.

 What game is going to replace Asura's Wrath in the line up this week? Well it's going to be The Quarry, which we'll put on the Xbox Series console since we already played it once on the PlayStation 4 side. Of course unlike last year, I'm not going to try and keep everyone alive

Our next stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we went over to Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Got dinner from a new place called Wingstop, their BBQ Chicken Sandwich is quite good.

ANd on that note good night

Alan Wake Remastered and other notes

Tonight's stream of Alan Wake Remastered ran close to four hours because I was trying to find the chests, pages and coffee thermoses , but we did knock out two chapters, with only dying three times. I fully forgot about how between chapters the inventory resets, which makes conserving all the ammo almost pointless. If there is one thing that bothers me about this game is that it none of the awkward animations that some characters have, in particularly with the character of Barry.

Alan Wake Remastered will return next Friday night!

Our next stream will feature Asura's Wrath with the goal being to finish it along with as much of its DLC as possible before we move on.

For the raid we went over to weirdtiffz who was also playing Alan Wake

Work was solid, couple of interviews were done, couple of real jerks tried to damper it with rude language.

Knocked out the RWBY x Justice League crossover story to fulfill commission request, next up is a Spider-Man commission story which should only take a couple of hours to write... more or less.

Did some grocery shopping today, picking up as much healthy alternatives as possible... but I forgot the salad dressing!

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...
