The Quarry and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up The Quarry, keeping most people alive... or at the very least the most likeable characters alive, as well as finding 80% of the clues, which pretty much got us the best possible ending on a time play through without trying to do various objectives (As indicated by the epilogue). We did pass up on the Laura reunited with Max achievement, because that would have been too sappy. Will we play this again? Oh yeah, it's easily a three night game, I'll just have to remember to do things from the chapter select menus and not start a new game out right.

Strongly considering starting up the Mass Effect Biotic run on Saturday, but we may do something else if I feel there's another game we can knock out in short order. Alan Wake may be that game, we'll see.

And speaking of that, Alan Wake Remastered will be featured on Friday night's stream.

For the raid we went over to rumhamshmah who was playing South Park The Fractured But Whole

Work was really good tonight, despite some slight weirdness

Currently in the middle of writing a Resident Evil story to knock out a commission request, will work on that first thing in the morning (depending on how long it takes me to record The Casual Review for The Quarry)

We should have new emotes for the Twtch channel by Sunday. I saw how the rough draft looks, and they look great!

 Good night!

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!

The Quarry and other notes

Tonight's stream of the Quarry ran longer than I thought, but we did knock out chapters three through seven, and lost Emma and Jacob in the process due to... bad choices being made. Chapter 7 with Laura certainly was a long chapter, an I did remember various things from my PS4 playthrough such as cutting off Dylan's hand when he gets bit. The plan is to continue The Quarry on Thursday's night stream, and potentially we could finish it then if I choose to extend the stream.

Wednesday's night stream is planned to feature Journey to the Savage Planet with Iceman, if he's available. If he's not, then we'll continue The Quarry

For the raid we went over to who was playing Baldur's Gate 3 and Paladins

The Quarry Achievements

• Chapter 3: Completed Chapter 3
• Chapter 4: Completed Chapter 4
• Reactionist: Activated 15 Interrupts
• Just a Flesh Wound: Saved a friend from infection
• Chapter 5: Completed Chapter 5
• Chapter 6: Completed Chapter 6
• Bizzare Yet Bonefide: Listened to the podcast
• Chapter 7: Completed Chapter 7

Work was solid, pretty even if not to spectacular. 

Didn't finish the Star Wars commission story I had slated for today, so I'll be working on that before I go to bed.

Had to swap controllers for the Xbox Series console due to stick drift issues, which meant I had to get two back ups.

Good night!

The Quarry and other notes

Tonight's stream featured The Quarry, this time playing the Xbox Series version, and I after two chapters, I still haven't found any of the tarot cards, but at the same time I'm glad I didn't find them because now I have to try and make the right choices without any hints. I also forgot how much of a tool Jacob was as a character, but I did find Emma's bracelet which I didn't do on my PS4 playthrough last year.

We'll continue The Quarry picking up with the start of Chapter 3 tomorrow night

For the raid we went over to MissCammi316 who was playing Fears to Fathom: Ironbark Lookout

The Quarry Achievements

• What's This?: Collected first clue
• Prologue: Completed the Prologue
• The Truth is Out There: Collected first piece of evidence
• Chapter 1: Completed Chapter 1
• It's All Coming Together: Found a matching clue
• Chapter 2: Completed Chapter 2 

Work was alright, got two interviews done.

Knocked out two story commissions one based on AEW and the other Spider-Man related, next one is tied in with Star Wars.

After four years I am going to have some new music intro music made for my streams, thankfully the person who did the majority of the music back in 2020 is still around.

And on that note good night! 

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was rather strange as it seemed to swing from a lot from one side dominating the other, which made things really unusual. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun this evening. Character I used were Junker Queen, Anna, Tracer, Mei, Reaper and a few others.

Also played Overwatch on the Xbox Series console as opposed to the Xbox One, the tradeoff being faster load times at the expense of being able to save Plays of the Game, which is really weird.

Tomorrow night's stream will see us starting up The Quarry, which should be pretty fun. The Quarry is also slated for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday

For the raid we dropped in on elegantlyslays who was playing Dead by Daylight

Got my review of Asura's Wrath recorded, and it'll premier in March of 2024 over on my YouTube channel.

After I have a little something to eat I'm getting back to work on a commission request involving AEW, I got half of it done before the stream.

Have a good night!

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

 Finished a Spider-Man commission in the early afternoon and the next story on the docket is AEW related, too bad I know nothing about Julia Hart.

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!
