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!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

 Today would have been my mom's 64th birthday, and well, she was on my mind all day, but it was made better since my brother and his family came over for a little party to remember her. 

Tonight's stream of Overwatch started an hour late because I was kind of out of it, but we did do a full four hour stream, and we were joined by PandaSweet fir a large chunk of it. We certainly had moments of questionsable teammates which drove us nuts, but we had a nice mix of wins and losses. Picked up three Plays of the Game as Junker Queen, D.va and Soldier 76. Other characters used were Orissa, Genji, Echo, Torbjourn, Moira, Kiriko and Reinhardt. We also picked up an achievement as well, so all and all positive vibes.

Our next stream will see the continuation and possible wrapping up of Stray on Monday.

For the raid we went over to x_lumineee who was playing Sulka Game

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Rocket Man: Get 2 killing blows with a single use of Soldier: 76's Helix Rockets in Quick or Competitive Play.

I got one short story commission in progress based around Resident Evil with another seven stories behind it this week, two of which are subscription stories for my SubscribeStar page. 

Assuming we finish Stray on Monday, Tuesday we'll play Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed.

Iceman won't be able to join us on Wednesday, so my next Xbox solo campagin game will start that night. which will be Asura's Wrath.

And on that note good night

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.

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!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Horizon Zero Dawn, extending the stream to six hours... I could have finished it sooner but I was trying to find various power cores for the ancient armor, plus quite a few cut scenes lasted a while, and I did go in deep on every side conversation where possible. But we did knockout about 70% of everything that was pretty much possible to do in the game with a few stray things that can be knocked out if I ever want to go back and try to do trophy clean up.

This game was as good as people say it was, will I want to play it again, start to finish? Probably on a new game plus run with all my gear and stuff.

The next PlayStation 4 game on the tour will be Alan Wake Remastered, which we'll start playing next Friday.

Our next stream on Saturday night will feature Stray!

For the raid we went over to missbrittgaming who has started their first play through of Horizon Zero Dawn!

Work was solid tonight, got three interviews, even if some dudes were just rude... one person was a real treat to speak to even it took 40 minutes.

Didn't finish the story I had on deck for Friday, so it gets pushed back to Saturday. This is due to recording my casual review for Persona 5 Tactica, since I do like to record those as soon as I finish a game. In fact I'll be doing one for Horizon Zero Dawn before I go to bed as well.

Sunday would have been my mom's birthday... and that is weighing on my mind a lot.

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

Tonight we wrapped Persona 5 Tactica, and I have to say, start to finish, this was a great little game, a nice way to introduce people to the mechanics involved in a tactic style game. The story certainly lost a little steam with the whole fight for your beliefs in the face of stagnation, but since it was focused on a politician finding his nerve to do the right thing, it does come across as ironic considering how the Republican party here in the United States refuses to do the right thing. 

Without question I will play this again, as there are only two achievements left, one for completing the compendium and the other for passing the the baton ten times. There is also the mater of the DLC story, but since I don't care for the character of Akechi I can easily treat the DLC as something extra to do (since there are no achievements tied to it)

So that said, our next game will be the Xbox Series version of Stray, which we'll start on Saturday night.

For our next stream on Friday, we'll be getting back to Horizon Zero Dawn

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• A Will for Change: Defeated the fourth Kingdom's boss.
• Endless Journey: Played through 500 turns.
• The Ultimate Mask: Fused Satanael.
• Quality Time at Leblanc: Watched all hideout Talk conversations.
• Grand Thievery: Earned all awards.
• A Tale of Revolution: Completed the game. 

For the raid we dropped in on rumhamshmah who was playing South Park: The Fractured But Whole 

Picked up some new slippers and a bunch of Funko Pops off of Amazon real cheap. Picked up few based on WWE, Marvel, Star Wars, Justice League and the US Marine Corp

Finished a Mass Effect story commission and waiting for the payment on that, and started work on the next commission request which is based on a recent game in the NFL

And on that note, good night!

Journey to the Savage Planet and other notes

Tonight's stream of Journey to the Savage Planet saw Iceman and I finding all the orange goo and alloys in the Itching Fields, which didn't seem like it would be tough considering we got scanners to find various items.

However we did discover a second play through will be needed to get a particular achievement which involves not finishing the game and having 5 fuel containers... which is recommended to combo with trying to finish the game in under four hours

Anyway, Journey to the Savage Planet will return next Wedneday!

Thursday's stream will feature Persona 5 Tactica, and I did take the time to grind out several achievements, while learning about the Personas that unlock in a New Game Plus run. I'm not going to mind doing that since all the ones I have will be available from the start

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

• Stop Crapping On Me, Jessie: Got pooped on by a Skipper. That's good luck, depending on who you ask. Not me. I think it's gross.
• Home At Last: You've returned home after fully completing your mission! You're a hero!

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• New Heights: Learned the final skill in a skill tree.
• Unparalleled Growth: Reached max level.
• Weapons Master: Purchased 50 unique weapons.

For the raid we dropped in on zonesama for some retro cartoons hosted by Cecilia Littlewing

Work was alright, but a bit bleh.

Currently in the middle of working on a Mass Effect story commission that might take two days to finish.

Persona 5 Tactica and other notes

Tonight's stream saw us get a lot done in Persona 5 Tactica, rescuing Erina, seeing Toshiro unlock his Persona and seeing Lavenza arrive on train. Thanks to some off stream grinding, we're way more over powered that one would assume, but the cost trying to keep up with the fusion combinations as well as trying to get 50 weapons from the shop has made things a bit harder, but we're on track to basically have all but a couple of achievements by the time we finish the game. We also knocked out all the quests, so all that is left is the main story

Next time Persona 5 Tactica is on the agenda will be on Thursday night with the possibility of finishing that night, but I suspect there is going to be some long cut scenes.

Wednesday's stream is currently slated to featured Journey to the Savage Planet as Iceman and I resume looking for stuff to get as many achievements as we can out of that game.

Persona 5 Tactica Achievements

• Stylish Synergy: Performed an All-Out Attack 50 times.
• Metaverse Aristocrat: Accumulated 666,666 yen.
• Walk Your Own Path: Used unique skills 50 times.
• Those That Conquer Their Past: Defeated the third Kingdom's boss.
• Ultimate Strike: Dealt 2,000 damage in a single attack.
• Conqueror of Kingdoms: Completed all quests.

For the raid we dropped in on MissCammi316 who was playing Smite 

Work was solid, even if there was an oddness to my schedule hours.

Currently in the middle of writing a Spider-Man related commission request, which is probably about 60% finish. I will be working on that before going to sleep.

See ya!
