American McGee's Alice Needs A Remake

Good morning everyone,

Today got off to a good start as a local junk collector came and asked if they could take some of the things I was looking to get rid of. Paid them a little extra to take a lot more than what they were wanting. But hey it's one less thing I have to worry about.

Last night's stream of American McGee's Alice went right up to midnight because the platform jumping and two boss fights took a while and multiple attempts to deal with. The Jabberwocky fight was just a nightmare to get through because of how it just stayed on me with its fire breath. Then there was the Demon Queen boss fight, in which I could barely see a damn thing. I did make liberal and frequent uses of the quick save options, which kind of spoiled the pace of the fight, but when I have doubt that I was actually making progress, I had to make sure things fell into place.

All that said, American McGee's Alice does deserve a remake, if it had the game play of it's sequel, Alice: Madness Returns, it certainly would have made things a lot more fun. At the very least it implement a better weapon switch option, because cycling through the weapons in tough situations really got old,I did find that the Ice wand to be the best overall weapon, as it can be used on a group of enemies. 

Some other notes, I enjoyed seeing the originals of the March Hare and Dormouse's appearances, not to mention their justified hatred towards The Mad Hater. The swimming sections were awful. For the most part I didn't need a guide to find my way, but I did end up using one because some things were exactly clear on what to do late in the game. 

Would I play it again? Probably not, since I got all of the achievements associated with it, and there is no incentive for wanting to go through it again at a harder difficulty setting

For the raid we dropped in on pradoxgamerau as they were playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker over at twitch.tv/pradoxgamerau

The plan for tonight's stream is to play Fall Guys and Resident Evil 5, with the goal in RE5 to get through chapters 5-3 and 6-1. Hopefully Iceman and I have some good luck.

Got some writing done on the latest WWE commission short story request. I figure it's about 25% finished.

Still plugging along with Hades to get Megara's story to progress in order to get the final achievement.

I'm seriously looking into a way to do a karaoke stream, it's been a while since I've done any singing on stream. Would mean that stream could not be archived however... and would probably involve two microphones.

Recorded the 9th video in my series of vlogs going through my DVD collection, and goes over about 95% of my wrestling collection. It will be on my YouTube channel on May 17.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

American McGee's Alice has some wonky controls

Good morning everyone,

Got some groceries yesterday and did some writing both on my own original idea story based on Persona 5 for my SubscribeStar followesr and on the latest WWE commission request. 

Last night stream featured more Alice Madness Returns, or rather, the game within the game, American McGee's Alice, which was the original game released in 2000 on Windows PC. Needless to say, I had a hard time getting used to the real wonky controls, trying to attack, jump and dodge is not exactly easy... so I can't imagine how anyone was doing it with a mouse & keyboard 23 years ago. The camera is decent so I can keep track of most enemies,

Near as I can tell we cleared about half of the game so far, based on the list of areas I found, and judging by the face it has only six achievements, so there is the potential of finishing the game on tonight's stream, which actually would be cool if I can pull that off. No guarantee though consider how screwy some areas were.

American McGee's Alice Achievements

• Madness Begins: In American McGee’s Alice, Complete Village of the Doomed
• Skool-Leaver: In American McGee’s Alice, Complete Fortress of Door
• Out of the Woods: In American McGee’s Alice, Complete Wonderland Woods

For the raid, we dropped in on PowerThumbz during their stream of Daymare 1998 over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

Tucker Carlson was fired yesterday, and I can imagine he won't be the last considering some of the behavior of many of Fox's other personalities. 

I did watch Power Rangers: Once and Always... and I'll just say it, thank goodness Jason David Frank was not involved in it, because he would have taken away from the core story. In fact, the one person who would've added a lt would've been Amy Jo Johnson, but I'm really only saying that because footage of what she said during the memorial for Thuy Trang back in 2001 can be found on YouTube.

After 100 runs I'm still not sure how many more engagements with Megara I need to get her to pop up in Zagreus's chambers to get the last damn achievement in Hades!

Did mess around a bit with the Xbox version of Diablo III, as I am considering getting Diablo IV since that is going to have cross-play.

My fantasy baseball team is doing alright so far, granted it features a lot of Phillies on it... but hey, aftter a couple of weeks, at least I'm not getting blown out.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

It was a busy Sunday

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch 2 was very eventful, as we were joined once again by PandaSweet and BangBangBang. Played a variety of characters tonight, Orissa, Junker Queen, Reinhardt, Tracer, Torbjourn, Ashe. Moira, Ana, Brigitte and even picked up four plays of the game as Orissa, Tracer, Moria and Bastion.

Here's the thing, I'm surprised I'm doing fairly well as Tracer on the console side, don't get me wrong, I could in the right circumstances do well as her on the PC version, but it seems to me Tracer is a perfect to play as with a game pad.

Also surprised I got another achievement unlocked this week, and with it I broke past the 1000 gamer score mark for Overwatch. It's an odd streak, and I'm not purposely trying to get the achievements since trying to target certain goals in this game doesn't really help the chances for winning.

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• The Path Is Closed: Destroy 3 of Symmetra's Teleporters in a single Quick or Competitive Play game

For the raid we dropped in on maximilian_dood who was featuring Street Fighter 6 over at twitch.tv/maximilian_dood

Will I played Street Fighter 6 when it comes out? It really depends, I go hot and cold on fighting games all the time, and there's not really any characters in it that I want to play as. As a Sakura main, if she's not in it, then I'm not exactly motivated to play it.

The plan for tonight's stream will be to start up American McGee's Alice, which was included  as DLC for Alice: Madness Returns. 

I don't blame Microsoft for disabling sharing clips and screenshots to twitter. If Elon Musk want's to act like a complete bitch, then he should be treated like one.

Finished the short story commission based on the 2023 Anime Awards, and began work on a short story based on Persona 5, focusing on Tae Takemi. Also picked up another commission story request, and it's another WWE one... ugh.

Spent a couple of hours breaking down CDs and putting them and their liner notes into a binder. If I had to guess, I probably have another 400 to go through. That is going to take a while to do.

Watched Pulp Fiction yesterday, always a good movie. Still wonder what's in the briefcase.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Finished Alice: Madness Returns,

Good morning everyone,

Work yesterday just sucked, if we're supposed to be interviewing people who work in one line of work, then why is the sample including individuals who have nothing to do with the topic! Then we're told the assignment is being downed to try and figure out what the problem is... I mean I can't imagine what could be wrong about contain businesses who does drapery and plant design when the question are about kitchen & bath remodeling!

Last night's stream saw us finish Alice: Madness Returns... and the last portion took maybe a little less 40 minutes... in fact I could have finished it the previous if I wanted to stay up an extra 30+ minutes. In fact, if I really were to consider things, I probably could have one-shotted the final boss of the game with the Tea Pot cannon. Still, since we finished it, we'll continue the fun with Alice in American McGee's Alice starting on Monday!

Now we did do some other things last night, we did a few runs in Hades in an effort to an achievement tied to Achilles's story arc within the game, and we were able to pull that off with no trouble. I still have one more achievement to go in this game to get the full gamer score of 1000.

We also played some Sonic & ALl-Stars Racing Transformed, going one Grand Prix run (beating FnDanteSavage's time by two minutes), then we did some speed runs, and while I'm not quite good enough to get expert times,coming close in a couple of instances... we did discover that some of the top times were straight up cheaters. When the expert time to get around a course is 32 seconds and folks did it in less than 12, then something was clearly screwy.

Alice: Madness Returns Achievements

• The End of Daze: Complete Wonderland Chapter 5
• The Strong Survive: Complete the Game on Easy Difficulty

For the raid we dropped in on PowerThumbz once again as they were playing Daymare: 1998 over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

The plan for tonight is to play Fall Guys in the first half and continue Resident Evil 5 with Iceman, as we'll be picking up in Chapter 5

Have a slight case of writer's block in regards to the latest commission request, mostly trying to deiced if I want to write it more focused on one character with the other just being used as a prop.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits was highly recommended to me as a game to feature on the PlayStation side of game, I will see about making that the game that follows Marvel's Spider-Man when we are fully done with that.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

I forgot How Long the 5th Chapter if Alice Madness Returns Is

Good afternoon everyone,

Yesterday was another rough day for me mentally in regards just feeling motivated about stuff in general. But on a positive note finally got that second box of contractor bags, along with the storage contains to help with all the additional vinyl records. Want to store them a specific way so I can repurpose the trunk they are in.

Last night's stream of Alice: Madness Returns saw us finishing up the back half of  Chapter 3 and all of Chapter 4 in fairly short order. Completely forgot about the awesome segment when Alice gets to go giant size and stomp on everything! Now I thought we could finish the game last night as we were making fairly good progress in Chapter 5...

But then the puzzles and timing segments happened and of course my bad timing and needing multiple attempts to succeed at stuff, not to mention trying to get various collectables slowed me down in a huge way. Near as I can tell, there are only four segments left in the game, but how long it'll take me toget through them is a real question.

So the plan for tonight is too finished Alice: Madness Returns, and we'll probably play some Smite or Hades, as I do have both games installed on the Xbox One.

Alice: Madness Returns Achievements

• Nothing Like the Smell of Bacon: Pepper All Snouts in a Chapter
• Just peachy: Collect all Peaches in the Scroll of Destiny
• When Worlds Collide: Complete Wonderland Chapter 3

Big thanks to Kalenal for the raid following their stream of Pokemon Scarlett over on twitch.tv/kalenal

For the raid we dropped in on PowerThumbz who was playing Daymare: 1998 at twitch.tv/powerthumbz

Started work on the latest commission request for a short story based on those who were presenting at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Rewards. It's probably going to barely hit 1500 words.

 Looking at the work assignment for today, I can already tell it's going to be a long afternoon in terms of how beaten up the call sample is.

And on that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

A new week begins

 Good afternoon everyone,

Yesterday was mostly a chill day, as I spent a lot of time thinking about how overwhelmed I feel.

Last night's stream of Overwatch 2 saw us having a lot of fun with BangBangBang and PandaSweet being apart of the action. There was a number of times I questioned the mental capacity of a lot of the random teammates we got saddle with, like who would play Widowmaker on attack after they realize the opposing team also as a Windowmaker and an Ana that can focus their fire on you. There is also an unusual tendency for players to over extend, which ends up making defense harder than it needs to be.

Picked up one play of the game last night as Moira, other characters used were Reinhardt, Ana, Brigitte, Tracers, Bastion and several others.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal during their birthday stream of Final Fantasy XIV over at twitch.tv/kalenal

The plan for tonight's stream is resume Alice: Madness Returns, picking up in the middle of Chapter 3. If things go right we could try and knock out

Finished the Star Trek story as an exclusive for my subscribestar followers, now I ponder what will be the next story I write on the side. Did pick up another commission request, based on the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, I think I'll keep it mostly generic.

Threw together an odd combination of items for dinner last night involving beats, corn and tuna fish. It was serviceable.  

Picked up a fresh box of contractor bags, because while a good portion of things were already dealt with there is still more stuff I need to make decisions on either keeping or throwing out. 

I am curious over how many play through of Hades I'm going to need to do to get the final two achievements since they are tied to character relationship progression.  

Recorded another video going through DVDs, the eighth in that series of videos for my YouTube channel, it features a lot of wrestling DVDs as well as a quite a few movies

I have been contemplating figuring out some sort of Karaoke gimmick to do on stream, and I've seen some limited options. Question is if there are USB microphones that work with consoles.

Watched Highlander following last night's stream, because I wanted to watch something, and it was the best option available without me thinking too hard! .Plus some of the Amazon Prime suggestions I was getting were very suspect.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

It's a day indeed

Good morning everyone,

Work yesterday was solid, got two complete interviews done... one by appealing the person's tenure in their industry. Turns out a lot of companies switching to automation is losing them business with retailers selling their product.

Last night's stream of Alice Madness Returns saw us doing the second half of Chapter Two and the first half of Chapter Three (if my estimation was correct). A huge part of why it's taking me so long to get through chapters is that I'm trying to find everything, and I'm constantly checking every area I can find. Good thing we're moving A:MR to Mondays & Tuesdays. 

That said, one thing I love about the third chapter is the overal change in theme is present to reflect the fact it's influence of the Victorian mythos China, and the fact that it's mostly bright and colorful, as opposed to the dark and dreary first and second chapters that were more industrial and underwater.

Next time we'll be placing A:MR of course will be on Monday!

Alice: Madness Returns Achievements

• Cold Arms, Cold Heart: Defeat the Drowned Sailor without taking any damage
• Shooting the Moon: Collect 4 Jars of Rose Paint
• Grim Folly: Complete Wonderland Chapter 2
• Death by Darjeeling: Acquire the Teapot Cannon

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal during their stream of Final Fantasy XIV at twitch.tv/kalenal!  

The plan for tonight is to continue Spider-Man, and I know we're nearing the half way point of the main campaign, since we've covered a lot of the side content that would be association with Mr. Negative's thugs. Actually, from what I can a large part of what's left in the game will me main story outside of a handful of side-missions and tracking down all the major thug events.

Completed the requirements for the Epilogue in Hades last night, so now my main goal is to deal with the Achilles and Megara story arcs which would result in two more achievements, but the grind for both will take a good while.

Hades Achievements

• Friends Forever: Max-rank each standard Keepsake
• One for the Ages: Reach the epilogue of the story

Trying to keep track of bills is easy... making sure they actually take the money when I pay them, that is oddly difficulty in some cases!

Nearly finished writing the latest Mass Effect short story commission, just need to wrap up the finishing details.

The Phillies have once again regressed to a sometimes all and mostly nothing team based on their performance this week. 

So on that note we'll see everyone later on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

Zorro, Ghostbusters and Unclogged Drains

 Good morning yesterday,

Well work completely sucked yesterday, didn't get a single interview done, one due to the respondent constantly swearing and drawing out their answers, and the other due to a bad connection. Here's hoping for a better day today.

My own plumbing adventures turned out to be a success, as my preferred shower drained rather smoother after I was done with no water coming up from the pipe. I have to remember to hot-link the plumber's snake I ordered, because it was very helpful

Last night's stream of Zorro: The Chronicles saw us finishing the game and surprisingly, the last few stages were massive in terms of getting from one place to another to take care of main objectives. I did play as Ines a few times, and the only real difference between her and Diego is that she has her own Super-KO and has more health, while he can take out up to six enemies at once. Now we did get all the achievements that one could get in a single normal play through.

Which leads to the question: Will I attempt to play the game on hard to go for completion... and the answer is maybe. I already know how to play the game, but I do wonder on if everything I unlocked carries over, or if it's a fresh play through and everything has to be earned all over again.

Now we did do some bonus game, bringing back Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, playing three games, two as a Ghostbuster and one as a ghost. We were successful in our matches as Ghostbuster, even getting the final trap to win a match!

What will replace Zorro: The Chronicles in the lineup next week will be Alice: Madness Returns as we're moving it from Thursdays to Mondays & Tuesdays..Think of it as promoting the game, and as a way for me to finish it faster! Now I ponder what will be the next Thursday night game.

Zorro: The Chronicles Achievements

• Partner In Crime: As Ines, dance with an enemy as part of a super-KO.
• Multi-Tasking: Defeat 6 enemies with one multi-KO as Diego.
• Justice Served: Complete the game.
• Top of the World: Reach the highest point in Monterey's Heist.
• Master Vigilante: Purchase all skills.

For the raid we dropped in on TracyDoll during their stream of Friday the 13th: The Game at twitch.tv/tracydoll

The plan for tonight's stream is to play Fall Guys in the first half and then to continue Resident Evil 5 with Iceman picking up in chapter 3-3.

Talked with my Aunt Rosa yesterday, and she's planning a breakfast brunch for later in the month. That shall be cool to go to... hey I like food, it's why I weigh so much

Did some writing last night, and the latest Mass Effect short story commission is about 50% complete.

I tried new Overwatch 2 character 'Lifeweaver', and I'm not a fan at all of his kit... it's too gimmick-heavy for my taste, which is a shame because he does look like a cool character.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

The Return of Alice: Madness Returns

 Good morning everyone,

Yes I forgot to post yesterday's blog until the afternoon... my bad.

Work yesterday was great, with three completed interviews... but on the flip side, no work today because of Good Friday. I swear if I got paid for every time work was put off because of a day that is not a federal holiday, I would be in good shape. Oh well...

Last night's stream saw me starting up Alice: Madness Returns, and I can't remember exactly when I played the PC before, but it was a few years ago, so going through the tutorial was great to remember how to play. I am impressed with how responsive the controls are, and for the most part I can zip around and avoid most damage I would take... but my bad game play skills and not remember how some enemies attack or defend. Take the tea pot enemies, I have to use the Pepper Grinder to stun them before diving in and using the Blade to break them... but remembering and re-learning the timing took a few attempts.

Now while there are only five chapters in the game... they are long chapters. In fact we only covered the entire first chapter and about half of the second chapter during the stream. Granted a big reason for the time it was taking for me to finish the first chapter was due to me trying to find all the collectables... and I'm rather perplexed on how I missed the ones I did. 

I also have to say I love the art style of Alice: Madness Returns, despite being released in 2011, it still holds up extremely well.

I was asked by Striker if I played the original American McGee's Alice which was released in 2000, and the answer is... nope. But I do know the Xbox 360 version of Alice: Madness Returns includes the original game, so maybe after I finish A:MR we'll play AM:A.

Alice: Madness Returns Achievements

• No Happy Returns: Back to Wonderland
• Snicker-snack!: Acquire the Vorpal Blade
• Ground Pork: Acquire the Pepper Grinder
• Strike a Deal: Upgrade a Weapon
• End of Innocence: Complete Vale of Tears
• Hatter's Demise: Complete Wonderland Chapter 1
• Strange Hobby: Acquire the Hobby Horse
• Weapon Schizo: Hobby Horse to Vorpal Blade to Hobby Horse Combo
• No quarter! No mercy!: Defeat 100 Ruin Enemies
• Dress-Ups: Equip a Different Domain Dress

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing some board games during their stream at twitch.tv/SweetLindir

The plan for tonight is not to play Spider-Man, but instead Elder Scrolls Online. The reason is because Striker will not be available on Saturday for the normal ESO night, so this week ESO is tonight, and Spider-Man will be tomorrow.

Watched a few movies last night Rocky Balboa, The Replacements & The Big Tease.... and also did some more writing on the Mass Effect short story commission, I figure it's about 60% complete at this point. And also did several runs of Hades, earning more achievements and knocking out various in-game objectives.

Hades Achievements

• War-God's Bloodlust: Fulfill the 'War-God's Bloodlust' Prophecy
• Rare Collectible: Equip a Chthonic Companion
• Musician and Muse: Fulfill the 'Musician and Muse' Prophecy
• Dark Reflections: Fulfill the 'Dark Reflections' Prophecy

Oh and I now have a 12 day streak of Xbox achievements, earring 83 over that time frame. It's not often I get a streak of more than a few days so that's pretty cool

On that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Victory in Fall Guys, Progress in RE5!

Good morning everyone,

Work yesterday ended up being surprisingly good with two full interviews, which made me feel good and productive.

Talked with my cousin Bianca yesterday, they were checking up on me and I very much appreciate it!

Last night's stream of Fall Guys saw the usual nonsense of the game not making sure every Duo or Squad having equal members, but we made it to the final round a couple of times... and We won a Duos Show! Somehow I got very lucky and didn't fall of the platforms in the Krakken Final Round despite being knocked into the air several times.

In Resident Evil 5, I got very use to the controls thanks to the Mercenary mode which lead to being able to do better with aiming in the main game when we were joined by Iceman. We only cleared Chapters 3-1 and 3-2 tonight because we were taking out time trying to find everything. Plus I got eaten by a crocodile. Thank goodness we're playing on Amateur mode, which makes it a lot more manageable. The inventory system is also a pain, but we've balanced things out quite well I think.Chances are next week's installment of RE5 will open up with a boss fight encounter

Resident Evil 5 Achievements

• Meat Shower: Defeat 3 Majini with one grenade or proximity bomb.
• Stop, Drop, & Roll: Defeat 3 Majini at once by setting oil canisters on fire.
• Get Physical: Defeat 20 enemies with physical attacks.
• Completed Chapter 3 - 1: Complete Chapter 3 - 1 on any difficulty setting.
• Completed Chapter 3 - 2: Complete Chapter 3 - 2 on any difficulty setting.

We didn't do a raid last night, as Iceman and I ended up chatting about Zorro, the WWE Sale, Video Games and Baseball till about 1:30 AM... so the stream ended up being 7 hours long.

The plan for tonight's stream is the beginning of Alice: Madness Returns, it should be quite interesting!

Got a little writing done yesterday, and I figure I can finish the Mass Effect commission story request before the weekend.

Speaking of the weekend I have to call my brother to make sure he's still coming over on Saturday to help with moving of stuff.

So on that note, we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Finished New Tales From The Borderlands... Now What

Good morning everyone,

Work was rather bleh... the sample we're having to work with is horrible, whoever put it together did a horrible job in my not so humble opinion.

Last night's stream of New Tales From The Borderlands certainly lasted longer than I thought, because Episodes 4 and 5 had a lot more plot heavy and extended scenes, that matched the timed it took to get through the first three episodes the previous night. That said, I am more than satisfied with it, not to thrilled with Stapleface being killed off for narrative purposes... but the fact that the choices made during the episodes really effect the outcome involving who lives in terms of the main characters certainly warrants future play throughs (at least 4 from what I understand)

Some things I missed were the Vault figures, as I know I missed opportunities to find them and I think one major choices in the 5th episode leads to an option of earning a few. The biggest problem with getting the other endings is that some very specific choices needs to be done.

That said, I think for me the most important aspect was the reveal that Fiona from the original 'Tales From The Borderlands', gets a cameo that sets up future adventures... as one of my biggest disappointments from the character reveals for Borderlands 3 was that Fiona didn't have a cameo of any kind. Still hearing the familiar voice of Laura Bailey certainly was cool.

New Tales from the Borderlands Achievements

• You Poor Now!: Spend the money from Sink or Swim.
• You Got the Goods, Kid: Nail a perfect, sexy dance.
• Mas, Por Favor: Wish for more tacos.
• The Shardmenstration: Complete Episode 4.
• Tale in the Toilet: Reach a Tale Over for the first time.
• Totally Intentional: Fail an action for the first time.
• Those Were the Days...: Win the retro battle.
• And Still Champion...: Win every Vaultlanders battle.
• Super Trusting Friend!: Perform every background check.
• ...To Heroes: Complete Episode 5.
• Hey, Thanks!: Watch the credits after finishing the game.

For the raid we dropped in on PrincessPashley during their music stream over at twitch.tv/PrincessPashley 

The plan for tonight's stream is the usual Wednesday night split between Fall Guys and Resident Evil 5, with the goal of maybe getting chapter 3 done in that with Iceman. We'll see if we have any luck in that regard.

Now question is... what game will replace New Tales From The Borderlands in the line up... well, this Thursday we'll be starting up Alice: Madness Returns. I have played the PC version before, but this time we'll be playing the Xbox 360 version for... you guest it... achievement purposes. Plus its a neat game. Monday and Tuesday's game will be Zorro: The Chronicles... because...why not. It looks like it should take me at least two full streams to play through.  Plus since we got Spider-Man, I really don't want to start up another massive open world game at this point

Unwisely, I did two more runs in Hades last night... did get another achievement which kind of made it worth it.

Hades Achievements

• Slashed Benefits: Fulfill the 'Slashed Benefits' Prophecy

Surprised the Phillies managed to win a game after being smacked around in the first four games of the season. Can already tell it's going to be a long 2023 in South Philly.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden
