Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was the usual bit of madness as we were joined by PandaSweet, Odeu and BangBangBang for various matches. We had a good mix of wins and losses. Tonight I played as Moira, Junker Queen, Bastion, Torbjourn, Ashe, Reaper, Sombra and several others

Tomorrow night we're resuming South Park The Fractured But Whole. 

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

Electric and Water bills have been paid, so now just got to put more of a credit on my Internet bill to stay ahead of that.

Did some grocery shopping today picked up all the usual stuff.

Finally got paid on the NFL story commission from last week, and now just have one outstanding.

Knocked out the NBA commission today (and got paid for it the same day, thankfully)

Next story commission is AEW related, in fact I got a couple of wrestling related stories in the upcoming queue... which is always at the end of the month or start of the month... ugh.

Good night folks!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight's stream ran from 5 PM Eastern till about 12:30 AM, and was not planned, but I kept finding stuff to do in South Park The Fracture But Whole that seemed totally doable, as a lot of quests just flowed from one to another. I'm really digging the story between Craig and Tweak, and the customization for the player character seems to get really nutty as things go along, from super hero class, race, ethnicity and other factors. We'll continue this game on Monday's stream.

Sunday night's stream will feature Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on swiftsupafly who was playing The Finals 

A fair amount of snow melted today, so didn't really have to shovel much of anything, anything left over I can easily deal with on Monday.

Finished the Dragon Ball commission request and am now waiting on payment for it and the earlier NFL commission request finished earlier in the week. Am counting on those to cover groceries this week. Next commission story in progress is NBA/NCAA related and I'm thinking i'm keeping that under 2500 words since the one after it is intended to be a bit lengthy.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

  • Class Warfare: Equipped powers from 2 different classes
  • Titleist: Reached the highest rank on 1 title in your Character Sheet
  • Call in a Favor: Used a Summon
  • Diabetes Defender: Defended a helpless child from a drunk lunatic

Good night folks!

Catherine Full Body and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Catherine: Full Body and ended up getting the Good Ending with Catherine, which worked out rather nicely considering Katherine deception was what caused Vincent's problems in the first damn place. Too bad I didn't know how to unlock Rin's path, but we can come back to Catherine: Full Body down the line for another attempt. 

Next Friday we're going to start Ghost of Tsushima as out next PlayStation 4 exclusive game.

Tomorrow we're back to South Park The Fractured But Whole

For the raid we dropped in on bangbangbang713 who was playing The Walking Dead: The Final Season

Catherine: Full Body Trophies

  • An Oil Baron's Journey: Assist Abul in expanding his world.
  • Love Story: Resolve Daniel's dilemma.
  • Return of the Rockstar: Help Roderick recover his dream.
  • Flowers for a Journalist: Get Justin out of his jam.
  • A Young Man's Everything: Aid Archie through his quandary.
  • Superior Man: Help Todd out of his trouble.
  • Freedom!: Solve the mystery of the nightmares.
  • Can't Get Enough: Reconcile with Catherine in the end. 

We had work today but it was in the afternoon as a last minute switch had us starting at noon to make up for all the technical problems that started on Wednesday.

We also got about six inches of snow, and I spent some time clearing my steps and the walk up to them (nearly losing my keys in the process).

Both of those ended up effecting how much time I could dedicated to writing, but I'm nearly finished a Dragon Ball related commission tomorrow.

I'm up to Series VII of Red Dwarf, reaching the point where Rimmer becomes Ace.

Good night!

South Park The Fractured But Whole and other notes

Tonight we started up South Park The Fractured But Whole, and really got into roaming around and and exploring, seeing what we could do early on, which was a fair bit. I really like the combat system as I realize I have to be a little more thoughtful of where I place my team so that no one is blocked. We'll resume it on Saturday's stream!

Friday's night's stream will feature Catherine Full Body.

For the raid, we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Hunt: Shodown

South Park: The Fractured but Whole Achievements

  • Potty Trained: Used a toilet and achieved the highest mastery level
  • Cosplay Curious: Wore costume pieces from 3 different sets at once
  • Fashionista: Found 10 costume pieces
  • #followbacks: Became mutual followers with 10 people in South Park
  • Toxic Environment: Looted 100 Biohazard items
  • Pasta of Prophets: Crafted a macaroni picture for Moses
  • Junksmith: Crafted 10 distinct recipes

We did have work, after a shit ton of technical problems was sorted out, and I knocked out four interviews. Pretty good night.

Got a jump start on my taxes, still waiting on some forms to come in to fill it out. Hopefully we can get a refund this year.

Since I was dealing with that I only got a fair amount done in terms of the next commission request, which is Dragon Ball related, I'll be working on that during the day on Friday.

Also we're expecting more snow... and the stuff we already had just melted... fuck my life.

Good night!

Smite and other notes

Tonight we had to call an audible, as Iceman couldn't join us, but we played Smite and were joined by Striker for several matches, which was a lot of fun! Played as Terra, Athena, Nike and Bellona an d we won a couple of matches and lost a few. Had one match as Terra where I had no eliminations and no deaths, but ended up with twenty-seven assists, which was awesome.

Sea of Thieves should be back next Wednesday, but it's always up in the air.

Tomorrow night we're starting up South Park: The Fractured But Whole, which should be a lot of fun in a continuation of the South Park Saga.

For the raid we dropped in on Kalenal as they were playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Work got cancelled today due to technical issues with the assignment we were working on, but it should be good to go tomorrow.

Knocked out a Spider-Man related commission which ended up being nearly 4000 words, and turned out pretty decent I think. Next on the docket is another Dragon Ball commission which doesn't exactly have much going for it in terms of being interesting, as its a continuation of an earlier story involving Panchy, but we'll see what we can do with it.

Continued my Red Dwarf watch through (when I was having lunch and before the stream since I had that extra time tonight) and I totally forgot The Cat turned into Duane Dibbley a second time thanks to the Emohawk.

And on that note, good night!

Skullgirls 2nd Encore and other notes

Tonight's stream featured Skullgirls 2nd Encore, we took a brief look at the tutorial for the basic controls then did a standard arcade ladder run with Ms. Fortune and Peacock before focusing on the story mode, doing runs as Filia, Cerebella, Parasol and Fukua, the last of which involved fighting Filia on apparently the hardest difficulty in the game. Now I didn't adjust the difficulty at all, so I'm rather pleased that I was able to complete Fukua story mode, as only 5% of people who played Skullgirls 2nd Encore on Xbox consoles have done that!

Tomorrow night's stream is scheduled to feature Sea of Thieves but Iceman may not be able to join us, if he can't we might do another night of Skullgirls. Or maybe an extra night of Overwatch.

For the raid we dropped in on ay0tony who was playing Skullgirls and League of Legends

Skullgirls 2nd Encore Achievements

  • A Normal Life: "Painwheel?" Must be foreign.
  • Training the Next Generation: One sister's safety dooms another.
  • And It's All Thanks to You: Poor Ms. Fortune.
  • Me and My Shadows: Tag-team your opponent all alone.
  • April Fact's Day: The joke is that she's not a joke. 

We did have work today, and got a few interviews done, a couple took way longer than expected because of trying to get respondents to answer the questions.

Now the commission requests I had slated to for today got thrown out as the I just couldn't write what was asked, which hurts, because that's money I'm not earning... but it's onward to the next one, and thanfully it is a commission request with a logical story.

I was not thrilled with having to shovel snow this morning, just glad it was only a couple of inches.

And now I'm off to bed!

South Park: The Stick of Truth and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up South Park The Stick of Truth and did so by getting all four achievements associated with defeating Princess Kenny, the games final boss. Needless to say it was a solid run tonight, everything from start to finish, and rather efficient. Of course a second play through would be required due missing on Chinpokemon and not getting all the possible 'friends', along with costumes and weapons, but we'll consider that for down the road.

Tuesday night we're going to mess around with Skullgirls 2nd Encore, since it's been awhile since we've featured a fighting game.. 

Thursday night we'll start up South Park: The Fractured But Whole, though I'm considering waiting till Saturday for that.

For the raid we went over to intergalacticpants who was playing God of War: Ragnarok

South Park: The Stick of Truth Achievements

  • Pulling Mud: In three separate battles, you've taken a shit in your pants
  • Inside Joke: While inside Mr. Slave, you summoned Mr. Slave
  • Two Girls, One Stick: You defeated Princess Kenny in your girl makeover disguise
  • Face Hoff: You defeated Princess Kenny while looking like David Hasselhoff
  • Outpatient: You defeated Princess Kenny while living with Dire AIDS
  • Stick Savior: You defeated Princess Kenny and recovered the Stick of Truth
  • Dog Whistle: You've farted on a dog while in gnome form 

We had work today, only got two interviews, but hey we had work and that's a good thing!

It's snowing and I'm dreading having to shovel, though I don't have to step out and I'm not expecting any deliveries.

Finished the NFL related commission and started work on a Spider-Man related commission request which is probably going to go over like a fart in church with how I'm not really feeling the combination of characters I have to use.

Anyway, time for bed!
