Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed saw us tackle the Garaka bounty which was pretty wild, and also re-do the Samhain one... and to be fair, I was hoping the new one to be like the older one in terms of having a little story. But the Firehouse looks pretty cool with the frosted interior and ice spikes.

Had my fair share of great moments in terms of catpures, and had a successful run as a ghost as well.

Tomorrow night we're back to Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

For the raid we did drop on aquatica_88 who was also playing Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed

We did not have work today, should hear something tomorrow...

Finished the Star Wars commission request in the early afternoon and it turned out pretty well I think, granted at 4000 words and not 5000, mostly because I ran out of ways to stretch it, but left the door open for a follow up.

Next commission is NFL related, which is a simple SubscribeStar tier one, so more of a wham bam fic

Tested the match making in Suicide Squad early this morning and was able to get paired up with someone and knocked out an Incursion mission at level 15. I am now three achievements away from have 1000 gamer score on this game.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Achievements

• Into the Angry Planet: Complete an Incursion Mission at Mastery level 15

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was pretty good, although the raondomness caused by people playing Venture resulted in several matches being affected by it. Playing against Venture presented some challenges in figuring out what they can do against some of the tanks I often play, I did play as them once, and there is a learning curve to be sure.

Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun this evening! 

Tomorrow's stream will feature Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed to check out the Frozen Empire content.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV

Played a little Suicide Squad off stream to work a little on the Battle Pass and grind towards achievements that require a lot of level / content grinding. Did get an achievement this morning which was really cool

Currently working on a Star Wars related commission with the challenge being to stretch it to 5000 words, and with work being questionable at the moment it might behoove me to do that.

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Anger Management: Damage 5 enemies during a single use of Winston's Primal Rage in Quick or Competitive Play.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Achievements

• All Sorts of Fun: Equip 3 pieces of the Tier 2 Infamy Set

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

We got a fair bit done in Ghost of Tsushima, as we found Goro and did the big two man raid on the Fort to advance the plot, along with doing various little side things (Fox Dens, one Shrine and a few side quests).

Next time we play it on Friday, there will be the question of advancing the story right away or working our way along the western half of the map. I'm probably going to do the former.

Saturday's stream will feature Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to see the Joker related stuff and work towards a couple of achievements, hopefully one for doing all the AR challenges will finally pop.

 Tonight we dropped in on lilmoolah_ who was playing The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

I was right to be concerned as we didn't have work this evening because of the Easter holiday, will be interesting to see if we have work on Monday.

Working on the commission request based around Kuroko's Basketball, I would have had it finished, but I was waiting on Instacart to arrive with my groceries.

Spoke with my father and I was right, he hated Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, calling it woke garbage, as he took issue with the characters of Phoebe and Trevor. What a fucking idiot. Keep in mind, he was really excited about talking about his 'recreation' of baseball seasons from the 1950s...

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) Trophies

• Den of Thieves: Discover Umugi Cove.
• Avid Reader: Collect 20 Records.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was shorter than normal due to a late start that was accounted for. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun. Played as Junker Queen, Ashe, Moira, Brigitte, D.va and a few others. We probably should have won a few more than we lost, and that last match saw us getting stuck with people who made no effort at all.

Tomorrow night we'll be looking to finish Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, and then I'll have to consider what we're doing on Tuesday night!

For the raid we dropped in on lucyusmaximus who was playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Saw Ghostbusters Frozen Empire this afternoon, and it was fucking awesome! It's been a long time since I've gone to a movie theater and I am super glad that my broker extended the invite! 

Finished the Mass Effect story commission early in the morning, next story commission is based on Spider-Man

The drop in temperatures are driving me nuts!

Ghosbusters Spirtis Unleashed and other notes

Felt a lot better today than last night ,even if I went to bed at 1 AM and didn't wake up until about 2 in the afternoon.

Tonight's stream of Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed was a blast, plenty of wins and great moments as both a Ghostbuster and as a ghost.

Staying on the Ghostbusters track, I got a few new shirts today as I will be phasing out some shirts that I have worn a lot on stream in the past six months.

And we're seeing Ghostbusters Frozen Empire tomorrow! I'm stoked, big shoutout to my brother for making it a family outing. 

Tomorrow's stream of Overwatch 2 will be starting late, probably a 6 PM start, 7 PM at the latest I suspect

For the raid we dropped in on IntergalaticPants who was playing Baldur's Gate 3 

Nearly finished a Mass Effect commission, I will be working on that before going to bed.

I continue to mess around a little with Suicide Squad off stream, and bang out a few achievements. Still waiting for the Blaze of Glory achievement to pop!

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Achievements

• Killin' Time: Complete an Incursion Mission at Mastery level 10

Ghosts of Tsushim and other notes

Wasn't feeling 100% today, as I thought about not streaming, but instead gave myself a limit that I would go off at 12:30 at max, so we managed to hit that mark right on the nose. 

We got a fair bit done in Ghost of Tsushima, all side quest related close to the Castle Kaneda, so we got to know the Warrior Monk a bit and inch closer to wrapping up the Tomoe subplot. Also found some fox dens.

Tomorrow's stream will feature Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed in preparation for seeing Ghostbusters Frozen Empire on Sunday afternoon!

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing League of Legends

I was not feeling right all day, and I did something I haven't done in years and called out of work. Which I know is weird considering I work from home.

Barely managed to get any writing done for a Mass Effect commission, will have to work on that all day tomorrow from when I wake up until the start of the stream.

Passing out early tonight folks! Hope to be more with it in the AM

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.  

Final Fantasy XIV Achievements

• The Art of War V: Reach level 90 with any Disciple of War or Magic.
• The Art of War IV: Reach level 80 with any Disciple of War or Magic.

We also chatted about other stuff, made some adjustments to my Fantasy Hockey Team, dived into the realm of the South Park / LA Kings shorts and other stuff

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama where Ceclilia Littlewing was hosting.

Big thanks to Kalenal for the Raid following their stream of Final Fantasy XIV

Work was really good, as we were doing a major assignment to get feedback for a particuarly government organization that we hope starts making an effort to help people.

Got about 40% of a WWE Story commission done, which I'll be working on during the day tomorrow.

Planning to see Ghostbusters Frozen Empire on Sunday with my brother and nieces, should be a lot of fun!

Sea of Thieves, Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed and other notes

Tonight's stream opened with my not realizing that I didn't start the stream, so some of the early stuff with me and Iceman was cut out. But we got a fair amount of loot found, and picked up a few achievements.

Also played Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed and I elected to move up a rank after hitting level 100, so now I get to do the grind all over again, just without n

Thursday night's stream will feature Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

For the raid we dropped in on smoresdafloof who was playing Genshin Impact

Work was solid today, not as much of a slog as yesterday.

Picked up a big steak sandwich and a pot luck shirt from Donkey's Place, so now I have three of those.  

Finished the Star Wars commission, and am now waiting for payment for that story.

Next commission is NFL related, and I get to mock the Detroit Lions a little, heh.

Tracked down the Game Guide for Dragon Age Origins, so almost guaranteed we'll play that on stream again at some point.

Sea of Thieves Achievements

• Colourful Sails: You purchased a new ship customisation from the Shipwright.
• A Wild Excursion: You paid a visit to the imposing Dagger Tooth Outpost.
• Be In-Spired: You paid a visit to the unforgettable Ancient Spire Outpost.

 

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and other notes

Tonight's stream of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League saw the plot progress some, as we had to deal with the first major boss fight which was a giant canon and of course witness The Flash take the heart out of Lex Luthor. I kind of figure that if I was only focused on one character at a time, I probably would have hit max level at this point, however, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot and King Shark are at levels 11 and 12.

Also I did put in some play  time during the day as I want to make sure the Contracts achievements are earned and knocked out. Some of them are a lot easier to complete than others.

Wednesday's stream is slated to feature Sea of Thieves with Iceman, but if he's not avaliable the back up plan may either be Smite or Ghostbusters Spirtis Unleashed

For tonight's raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Smite

Work was a slog tonight, same assignment as last night, but didn't have the same amount of luck

Finally got paid for that Dragon Ball commission from last week, only after I said I was going to list their series as something someone else can commission entries for.

About 75% finished the current Star Wars commission, it's a length one, and I had a few hiccups figuring out the right approach to some things.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Achievements

• Allies: Complete 50 Support Squad Contracts
• Blitzkrieg Bop: Destroy the Behemoth
• Managing People: Complete the final Rick Flag Support Squad Mission

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch ran over eight hours, starting at 5 PM and ending after 1 AM, so that we could celebrate New Years with PandaSweet who is an hour behind (and as always big thanks to Panda for being apart of the stream!). So there were a lot of wins and losses over that span. Played as Junker Queen, Cassidy, Moira, Brigitte, D.va and numerous other characters. Also managed to pick up Ashe's second character achievement so that is the final one earned for 2023. 

Tomorrow night we're kicking things off with 2024 with the New Game Plus run of Persona 5 Tactica, cut scenes and such will be skipped over as we'll be looking to level up as quickly as possible. Not sure exactly when we'll start, I'm thinking early evening.

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Served Up: Get a killing blow as Ashe on an enemy knocked into the air by B.O.B. in Quick or Competitive Play.

For the raid we went over to bangbangbang713 to watch them play The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me 

Had to take a trip to the bank today to make a deposit, which involved taking a bus there and then walking back home behind because the return bus wouldn't come for another two hours. Thankfully it was not snowing or raining and there was no traffic, so it was like direct one mile walk back.

Got two thirds of a commission story written based on the NFL in the late 90s, just have one more scene to write which I'll be working on when I wake up.

Two new Funkos added to the collection Slimer from Ghostbusters and Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Good night folks and happy new year!

Journey to the Savage Planet and other notes

Tonight, Iceman and I  spent the evening finding many of the items and completing the requirements to get all upgrades as we close in on 100% completing all in game objectives for Journey to the Savage Planet. We have a few plants and animals to find, along with the remaining alien tablets and explorer logs. We should be able to pull that off next Wendesday in pretty short order.

Of course the stream opened with my putting on the wrong headset, which was the one I use for work, as opposed to earbud I use for voice chat. Plus I had the wrong shirt on as well, lol.

Our next stream will feature The Quarry as we'll have a good shot of finishing that, since we don't have to worry about anything involving Emma or Jacob

 For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for some Christmas related cartoons, including The Real Ghostbusters

Journey to the Savage Planet: Employee of the Month Edition Achievements

• Stronger, Faster, Probably Poisonous: Recklessly and irresponsibly eat every Orange Goo on AR-Y 26.
• Scott Norwood in the Hizzy...: Kick 25 Pufferbirds and 25 Maroons. It's ok. I don't know who Scott Norwood is either.
• Shocking: Stun 5 creatures simultaneously with Shock Fruit. Stone cold.
• The $600 Man:  3D-print all the 3D-printables. After that, go ahead and 3D-print yourself a gold star! 

Work was a struggle, as I didn't get a complete until the end of the shift.

Currently in the middle of writing a WWE related commission which I'll be working on after I post this blog. I figure it's about 60% complete at this point.

Found someone who could do animated emotes over on Fiver, hopefully I'll have those by the end of the week, and a new opening song before my birthday.

Good night folks!

Stray and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Stray and I actually remembered quite a bit from the previous play through to where I was able to avoid a lot of the death traps from before. I do kind of wonder what I missed or did wrong to not get certain achievements, but this is a game that has replay value and does have a chapter select so I can jump around to different points.

Our next stream will feature either Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, I'm leaning towards the former in terms of trying to get achievements, but of course the later is certainly a lot of fun just for the hell of it.

For the raid we went over to misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Stray Achievements

• Cat's best friend: Nuzzle up against 5 robots.
• Catwalk: Reach Midtown.
• Scratch: Scratch the vinyl in the club.
• Al-Cat-Raz: Go to jail.
• Eye Opener: Complete the game and open the city.

Work was really good tonight even though we ran a bit over my scheduled time, but hey it was a good night.

Picked up a bunch of Funkos and more on the way, going to have a real solid display of them behind me on camera.

Amazon has a real problem in using so many boxes for small items that all could be put in one box. 

Finished a Resident Evil related commission and so the next one is based on Avatar The Last Airbender

Going to record my casual review of Stray before I go to bed

See ya tomorrow!

Stray and other notes

Tonight's stream was a bit shorter than usual for a Saturday because of the length of last night's stream. But at the same time, since we were playing Stray, I was able to remember 90% of the first half of the game so we were able to get all the way past AntVillage. 

Of course I was taking my time trying to find various things... and safe to say, since the stream was nearly four hours there was no chance to finish it in two hours. Did have a little trouble finding the last soda can and the yellow flowers, plus had a few deaths in the zurk chase sequences.

Anyway, Stray will return on Monday night's stream, and if we can get through the remainder of the game on that night, we'll probably do something like Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed on Tuesday.

Our next stream for Sunday will featured Overwatch 2... and will be dedicated to my mom, as she would've been 64.

Stray Achievements

• A Little Chatty: Meow 100 times.
• Missed Jump: Fall inside the city.
• Not Alone: Meet B-12.
• Cat Got Your Tongue?: Have B-12 translate a robot.
• Boom Chat Kalaka: Dunk the basketball.
• Curiosity Killed the Cat: Wear the paper bag.
• Cat-a-Pult: Jump 500 times.
• Télé à chat: Browse through all of the TV channels
• Meowlody: Bring all the music sheets to Morusque.
• Cat-a-strophe: Try to play mahjong with the robots.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Did get dinner from the 45th Street Pub, really didn't want to cook anything tonight.

Finished the NFL related commission story, and started up work on a Dragon Ball related commission, which should be pretty straight forward as way to highlight Mr. Satan.

Good night!

Ghostbuster Spirits Unleashed and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream was supposed to feature Journey to the Savage Planet, but the part of Canada where Iceman lives got hit with a massive outage so we had to switching things up.

So the back up game ended up being Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, and it's a good thing we did switch to it because it had a massive update with new features like a bounty system, and new story line elements with Samhain, and the tease of additional content in the future. 

We certainly had a lot of fun, as I had a fun night returning to Ghostbusting, even capturing a ghost three times in one match. I really like the idea of the bounty system because that becomes you and your A.I. companions versus the A.I. (or you and three buddies versus the A.I.) with different difficulties. Also you can customize your A.I. team, who will roam around the fire house! 

Now our next stream will feature the start of Resident Evil HD, and I hope I can find a decent guide for it to try and get through it without too much trouble.

For the raid we dropped in on x9abenonymous9x who was playing Green Hell

Work tonight was okay, nothing major although the system our client wants us to use has such a delay in logging things that I tend not to pay attention to what automatic messages are saying

Knocked out a 3000+ word story commission based on Spider-Man, and now I have a Resident Evil story to do, followed by a (sigh) WWE / Wrestling related one. We were on a good streak there for a while.

I don't have to (in theory) worry about Jury Duty for another three years... woo hoo!

You know when playing ranked matches in Overwatch on PC, there is always the concern of people leaving matches, it seems to be doubly concerning on the console side of the spectrum

And on that note good night!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Hi everyone

Second night in a row that the stream started late, this time because I was taking a nap.

Once we got started, obvious Overwatch 2 was featured as we played matches as Tracer, Junker Queen, Ana, Kiriko, D.va, Junkrat and Moira, plus a few others, adding a Play of the Game as Tracer. Big thank you as always to PandaSweet for being apart of the action!

Picked up one achievement during tonight's sessions, the Enabler achievement, which is the second of the two achievements associated with Ana for when the character was added to the game. We unlocked the Naptime achievement way back on May 14, 2020,

Overwatch 2: Ana Achievements

• Enabler: Get 4 kills or assists with a single use of Ana's Nano Boost in Quick or Competitive Play.

Channel Raided: twitch.tv/Wilveren
Game Played: CastleVania: Symphony of the Night

Our next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern on Monday with the continuation of Cyberpunk 2077

Did quite a bit of writing today, finishing two stories, one being the Resident Evil commission which I started last night, and the other was a side story I had in mind based on Extreme Ghostbusters. With no commissions on tap at the moment, I might go into writing the next chapter of my Persona series.

My fantasy football team had a really bad week as nearly everyone underperformed. It's funny, I started off 3-0.... now I'm 3-2

Anyway, got a few things to do before I try to go to sleep

Have a good night

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream started an hour late because I got held up taking care of things while waiting for dinner to arrive.Granted part of this was also caused by unusual sleep pattern as of late.

Anyway, in Cyberpunk 2077 we focused on three achievements revolving around side activities in the Phantom Liberty expansion before  advancing the main story a bit, getting Reed, meeting Alex and seeing that once again V is going have to sneak into a very larger skyscraper tower. 

So far I've been given very little reason to like Reed and his whole 'need to know' approach. At the same time, I suspect the big emphasis on the Blackwall, which was not really a factor in the base game is something that is being set up for a sequel game.

Next time we'll be playing Cyberpunk 2077 will be on Monday night.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Achievements

• Easy Come, Easy Go: Steal the Arasaka medical truck or deliver 10 vehicles to El Capitan.
• Judgement Day: Eliminate three bosses from the "Increased criminal activity" category.
• The APB is Not Enough: Become Dogtown's most wanted criminal.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Our next stream on Sunday nigh over at twitch.tv/fredcasden, which should start at 5 PM Eastern, will featured Overwatch as we're just days away from the Halloween events

Got some writing done, knocking out a Resident Evil story commission and getting the go ahead to do a continuation.

Also started a side story based around Extreme Ghostbusters, taking a slight break from my Persona story

Those are really all my notes for today!

Have a good night!

 

Resident Evil and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Work tonight was another challenging evening, granrted some folks were willing to do the study, but the stiff sample requirements are making things nearly impossible for me.

Tonight's stream saw Iceman and I finish Ada Wong's Campaign in Resident Evil 6, which was a lot of fun, as Ada's Chapters 3, 4 and 5 sync up with key moments in the Jake/Sherry, Chris/Piers and Leon/Helena campaigns. The big reveal that the fake Ada was basically the result of an unrequited love was interesting, but the real fun was seeing things from a different point of view in all three chapters.

Of course, I did get screwed out of two achievements not popping, one is a completing the game on amateur difficult and the other was for completing chapter 5... the funny thing is, the in-game badges menu indicates I did unlocked them bot, but not on the Xbox registry, which is really weird. So next week, we're going back into Resident Evil 6 to replay chapters 1 & 2 of the Jake/Sherry campaign, along with Chapter 5 of Ada's to get the obvious story ones that didn't pop.

Now Iceman and I ended up talking a lot about creating characters for video games in terms of immersion and the whole CM Punk fiascoe, plus our break down of the MLB standings, which was always a lot of fun.

My next scheduled stream is for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden with the plan being to featured episode four of The Expanse: The Telltale Series, and pair it with like Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed or maybe even Gundam Evolution

Resident Evil 6 Achievements

• This Takes Me Back: Complete Chapter 3 in Ada's campaign.
• Ada's Demise: Complete Chapter 4 in Ada's campaign.
• Rising Up: Earn a level-four title.

No formal raid tonight, I simply went over to twitch.tv/bestibunni to say hi and hang out for a bit!  

Did a fair bit of writing, finsihing a massive commission request featuring Harley Quinn and Lois Lane, then another one featuring Spider-Man. They client liked the Spider-Man story so much, the requested an instant follow up which I'll work on tomorrow!

Getting both stories done allowed me to order some take out from the 45th Street Pun over in Pennsauken, which has one the best damn burgers I've ever had.

And on that note, I'm heading to bed! Good night folks!

The Expanse, Ghostbusters & Other Notes

Hi everyone,

Work tonight featured one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to market research and that's when we have questions that have no flow or rhythm and feel disjointed. Sure I had three interviews, but I felt like I could have more if the questions felt natural!

Tonight's stream opened with episode three of The Expanse: A Telltale series, and this installment had the same problems episode one did, and that it's way too damn short. Sure big things happened during it, such as Drummer being betrayed, and the details of how people from the inner solar system view the people who live in the asteroid belt, but it barely lasted an hour. In fact I'm shocked I didn't find all the salvageable items because I was looking everywhere! I stand by what I said, there was no justification for this game to have a staggered release date.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Achievements

• Impossible Objects: Complete Episode 3 of The Expanse
• Data Recoverer: Complete Episode 3 with all Data Logs

Now the plan was to play Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but when I went to play a match I saw a message that the servers were having issues. 

So instead we played Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, we got in several matches, winning a few as Ghostbuster and nearly winning one as a ghost. There was certainly a lot of wildness happening when I ran into a super skilled ghost player.

Big thank you to x9abenonymous9x and YourDadPlaying for the raids and sharing their communities with me!

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/sweetlindir show was playing Hunt: Showdown 

Finished the Halo short story commission request fairly easily, thanks in large part to the Halo fan community doing an excellent job in having transcripts of all the major dialog points in Halo: Infinite. And of course, I got another commission request, this time to write a four story for a series based on Resident Evil. 

My next stream over on twitch.tv/fredcasden is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern time and will featured The Last of Us Part II, as we continue Abby's journey towards the Aquarium. It's going to be interesting to see how much time it takes to get through her side of the story, which in theory should be just as long as Ellie's. Of course if work is for some reason cancelled (and we hope not!), we'll start earlier.

So on that note have a good night!

The Expanse, Ghostbusters and other notes!

 Hi Everyone,

Tonight's stream opened up with episode two of The Expanse: A TellTale Series, and we purposefully went to get every single achievement possible that was not related to the one character we threw out the airlock in episode one. I was really pleased with episode two, as it allowed for some great character moments and interactions, plus some really obvious choices being made. Khan is probably my favorite character in her clearly just being a crotchety old lady who is a total bad ass. Also liked Virgil's backstory as well, and the possibility of unifying the crew is the best way to do things.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Achievements

• Stogie for Fogey: Give Khan a Gift
• Drug Gifter: Give the Twins some Medicine
• Spore Taste: Give Virgil the Mushroom Powder
• Thorston Mayer: Discover the truth about Virgil's past
• Martian Music: Listen to Maya's Music
• Celebrations are in Order: Complete Episode 2 of The Expanse
• Debris Spree: Complete Episode 2 with all Scavenge Items
• Data Master: Complete Episode 2 with all Data Logs

We also featured Ghostbusters Spirits Unleash, experiencing the newest map and seeing a lot of the Ghostypes, along with the fact that the ghostbuster equipment can be customized to look like the gear seen in the Real, Extreme and 2016 extended universes of the franchise. While we mostly played as Ghostbuster (complete with fishnet stockings lol), we did do one match as a ghost, which was quite fun.

For the raid we went over to twitch.tv/elegantlyslays where elegantlyslays was playing Friday The 13th The Game. They ran into some cheaters,  and with the game so close to shutting down I don't blame them for not wanting give screen time.

Got a 40th commission request for a Mass Effect story, this time revolving around the Party that takes place during the Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3. This might take a few days to write because of all the things I want to try and include for the client. 

Came across a great clip from Boston Legal where the Alan Shore character goes into just how stupid and exploitive the pharmaceutical is  to having a drug for every disease in comparison to the hypocrisy of religion towards its bigotry towards homosexuality. I mean both industrys (and yes religion is an industry) exploit people's fear of getting stick and fear of something different for blatant profit and do so with no shame.

In regards to the bit of yard work (well cutting branches) I mention last night, well I did that today as I was able to pick up some extra groceries thanks to the funds I earned writing short story commissions so far this month.

Our next stream is slated for 7 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden and we'll feature the three story missions of Overwatch 2 that were added this week before we get into Quick Play matches. I've already played the story missions off stream, but it's going to be nice to feature them on stream.

So with that, have a good night everyone!
