Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and other notes

Tonight we finished Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, and if I thought fighting Superman was a pain in the ass, Brainiac was even more so, since that was a souped-up version of the Flash boss fight. Still we got several achievement thanks to how things progress to the story. All in all I really enjoyed it, and it is just a big budget version of Agents of Mayhem, and I will continue to make that comparison.

Now since this is a 'live service game', replaying it from the start can only be done via chapter select to replay various missions, but I do recommend folks play it.

I do think I will keep it in the weekly line up, moving it to Monday nights not next week but the following one,  since the first season expansion is coming soon, so we can see how that works out, plus if there are achievements being added, I would hate to miss out on them. Plus I suspect with Joker being added to the roster, that will be a good time to try on-line play.

Suicide Squad will be back on Saturday's stream, as we chase more achievements and work on getting everyone to level 30 before determining which character will be my 'main'.

Tomorrow's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushima with the big focus on clearly out the invaded areas in the first area of the map.

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

Work was really good, seven interviews on the Health and Wellness Study/

My YouTube Channel is now up to 346 subscribers thanks to the shorts, wonder if at some point I'll be able to earn something from it. Probably not.

Finished the first of four back to back to back to back WWE related story requests, this was was for the SubscribeStar Commission Tier. At least with the next two some extra funds will be earned.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea of Thieves was a lot of fun as Striker and Iceman joined in as we continued the next Pirates of  The Caribbean content, which was pretty cool, and we ended up getting chased by an enemy ship, having to use all our supplies... only to end up sinking.  

Now next Wednesday's stream will be a special stream focused around Fantasy Baseball as the chat will get to help in putting together a fantasy baseball team!

Our next stream will feature Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League as we do some achievement hunting and level grinding. Currently I have every character up to level twenty-two, so eight more levels a piece are needed to get them to max level.

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for some retro TV watching hosted by Cecilia Littlewing

Work was solid this evening with five interviews for a health and wellness study

Finished about 50% of WWE related story to fulfill a SubscribeStar commission tier request, I should be able to finish it during the day tomorrow.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and other notes

Tonight in Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, we got every up to level 21, we took down Batman (who went out like the punk ass bitch he is!) and then we took down Superman in what had to be the toughest fight of the game, as tracking him was extremely tough. I actually was down to my last revive on that fight which was nerve racking!

Still with the Justice League eliminated, the 'endgame' portion of the game begins with the grind to eliminating Brainiac is next. It's going to be pretty interesting to see how things play out as I have already put in 38 hours into this game in my quest to do everything I think is possible solo.

Suicide Squad will return on Thrusday as we have a good shot to get several achievements that night.

Tomorrow night's stream is slated for Sea of Thieves, depending on if Iceman is able to join in.

For the raid we dropped in on SweetLindir who was playing Smite!

Work was on fire as I knocked out eight interviews, my throat was ruined by the end of my shift!

Finished the Fairy Tail story request to fulfill a SubscribesStar Commission Tier request and it turned out pretty I think. Next is the first of four (sigh) several WWE related stories in a row... ugh.

Paid the next quarter property taxes on my house today... ugh that was $560 but hey, I didn't have to pay it until May, and the next isn't until August, so I'm ahead of the curve baby!

  • Endgame: Kill The World's Greatest Detective

Dead or Alive and other notes

We got a lot done in Dead or Alive 4, finishing the story mode with all characters, which lead to unlocking Spartan-458, and then I started doing time trials. Oddly enough, getting the Bronze and Gold achievements for singles were 'easy' in comparison  to the Silver one, which needs to be done in less than 5 minutes but more than 4 minutes 30.

I'm still keeping DOA 4 on the line up for next week as I'm looking to unlock Tengu. There is a question about going after all the costumes, which would require going through time trials on normal settings (2 rounds, 99 seconds), which could take  a long time to do. 

Either way, the game is finished as the credits rolled, so I'll be doing a Casual Review and will have a few things to say about it.

Tomorrow stream will feature Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, we're going to focus on leveling first then do a couple of things to progress the story. I'm really wanting to stretch things out.

For the raid we dropped in on smoresdafloof who was playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Reunion

Work was a big of a slog tonight, didn't get an interview done until after we switched assignments 

Started work on the next commission story, which is based on Fairy Tail and is a continuation of sorts to two prior stories based on that anime / manga. I figure this story is about 30% complete.

Would have had more of that done but I dozed off on my recliner shortly after having breakfast.

Dead or Alive 4 Achievements

  • Unlocked "Helena": Unlocked the hidden character "Helena."
  • Completed All Story Modes: Completed Story Mode with all characters.
  • Unlocked "SPARTAN-458": Unlocked the hidden character "SPARTAN-458."

  • Gold in Time Attack (Single): Completed all of the Time Attack Mode single battles within 4 minutes 30 seconds.
  • Silver in Time Attack (Single): Completed all of the Time Attack Mode single battles within 5 minutes.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Overwatch 2 tonight was very hit and miss, sure we won a few, but I swear a lot of folks were playing like idiots, and my natural instinct to not condone stupidity lead to me phoning in several matches. Played matches as Junker Queen, Moira, Ashe, Lucio, Orissa, Sombra and a handful of others.

Big thank you to PandaSweet for being apart of tonight's stream.

Tomorrow nights stream will feature Dead or Alive 4, we're opening with Story Mode runs for the last default three characters, then we're doing Helena's before focusing on Time Trials.

For tonight's raid we dropped in on  intergalacticpants who was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider

Since WB Games has announced they are going to de-list a lot of games, made sure to nab that Samurai Jack game that came out fairly recently.

Speaking of WB Games, jumped into Suicide Squad early this morning to track down the last remaining Riddler trophies, so that's another achievement we have in that game

Nearly finsiehd the NFL related SubscribeStar Commission tier story I was working on yesterday, just have another section to complete and then its done

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Tonight's stream had a few issues, one there was an hour long delay in getting things going because of a weird glitch that kicked me to where I basically had to re-do escorting Lex Luthor on Earth 2... and it took me an hour to figure out what happened and how to fix it (the Suicide Squad community are a bunch of idiots, so finding the solution took a lot of searching on the official discord)

Then there was the power going out for a hot moment, splitting the stream in two, which was unfortunate, but we did make good progress. We have every around around level 16 or 17, we took our Green Lantern, but Wonder Woman is gone as well, so in terms of dealing with the Justice League we're half-way there. Still have a ways to go in regards to maxing ever character out however.

Next time Suicide Squad will be featured will be on Tuesday's stream.

Sunday night's stream will feature Overwatch 2

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

I got work that day shift will be available, but now I'm not in a position to switch because of how I've locked everything as I go from writing to work to streaming in that order. If I switch to day shift at this point, it would either go work, stream, writing... or work, writing, stream. I'll have to figure all that out.

Speaking of writing, struggled with the set up of the current SubscribeStar commission tier request to set up a contrived set up that makes no sense based on what the client wants, as it combine the NFL and wrestling personalities. So I'll be working on that before going to bed.

  • Blackest Night: Kill The Green Lantern

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushuma saw a huge focus on exploration and trying to find areas I've been, only for things to become available after I finished the first act. Still we advanced the story, rescued Jin's uncle, fell off some high spots and had a good time overall.

Ghost of Tsushima will return on next Friday's stream with the focus on liberating the final six spots in the first area of the map

Tomorrow's stream with feature Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, with probably as huge focus on level grinding, as we do have to get every character to level 30.

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

Work was surprisingly good, even if our system was rather Jekyll and Hyde which drove me nuts

Managed to get my hands on a complete set of the 1992 Impel/Skyboy DC Cosmic Cards, I had a bunch of the cards as a kid, so managing to get the whole set was pretty cool. Also realize and learned DC couldn't include Batman in the set because of the license agreement they had with Topps for the cards based on the Batman '89 and Batman Returns

Finished the NFL related s tory commission today, though it did take longer than expected to write

Next story on my commission docket is also NFL related but with a loose wrestling connection because people want to torture me

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) Trophies

  • Family Reunion: Free Lord Shimura from the Khan's clutches.
