Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II and other notes

Tonight we started playing Star Wars The Forced Unleashed II and I have some mixed feelings about it in regards to how very straight forward and streamlined it feels in comparison to the original. The game play mechanics are certainly more intuitive to where you almost don't have to think, there are seemingly fewer puzzles... and I think I'm over half way through the game. 

Don't get me wrong the first game only took me two nights to get through, so by no means am I calling that a long game, but I think I could have torn through TFU2 in one night if put it down to start on a Saturday as opposed to a Thursday.

Still, very good chance we'll finish it on Monday's stream because it's just too short to have on Saturday. Which means this Saturday we're going to play Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, since I'm seeing Frozen Emprie on Sunday!

But for Friday's stream we are playing Ghost of Tsushima!

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Smite

Work was really good tonight, but the verbiage of the questions really makes things clunky

Finished the 4th of several WWE related stories and now the next one is Mass Effect related, which I can take some time to put some creativity into. 

People are still mad about an clip from this past Sunday's Overwatch stream that is on my YouTube channel lol

So I picked up the console version of Final Fantasy XIV and man, it's a learning curve to figure out how to get the most basic of things done. I get it that it caters to being for PC players first but the menu navigation and figuring out basic combat and the amount of hoops I need to jump through to get anything done is greatly discouraging me from really diving back into it. At the very least I was able to get several achievements to pop based on what I've done before.

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...
