LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and other notes

Tonight's stream of Lego Batman 2 saw us knocking out three chapters, and I'm rather impressed with how puzzle heavy this game is in comparison to the original, as having to backtrack and switching suits to make forward progression is kind of important.

Of course one thing that is also standing out is that this game has no problem pointing out how much of a jerk Batman is.

Lego Batman 2 will return on Tuesday night's stream!

Friday's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushima as we will continue roaming the middle area of the game.

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing 7 Days to Day

Saw cut-scenes of The Joker for Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, and I'm glad they are not bothering to try and copy Mark Hamill's Joker. We'll feature the new content on Saturday's stream

Work was really good as we closed out the assignment we had, now the question is... will we have work on Friday?

 Finished the Power Rangers commission story, and next up is something inspired by the manga Kuroko's Basketball... which I have never read. I think I have something figured out with it

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up the Pirates of the Caribbean tales in Sea of Thieves, we came close to sinking but Iceman, Striker and I held the ship together and was able to outlast Davy Jones. The send off for the content was quite sweet.

Next week we more than likely will dive in the Monkey Island content of Sea of Thieves.

Tomorrow night we're playing Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes... and I did pick up an extra achievement in that game off-stream as I was trying to see how many codes we could find to get a leg up in the achievement hunting.

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama during the weekly Just Chatting stream

Work was really good, another productive night, even if there were a couple of slight issues

Started work on the Power Rangers story commission, repurposed an old outline to make it a quick and easy story to write.

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and other notes

We started Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes this evening, and outside of having to mute the music because of DMCA issues, we had a fun time, smashing blocks to get studs and beating up villains as Batman and Robin. This is perhaps the first Lego game I've played where things involving vehicles didn't feel clunky. We cover the first four chapters, and I figure it might take three or four more streams to complete its campaign.

Lego Batman 2 will return on Thursday's stream

Tomorrow night the plan is to play Sea of Thieves with Iceman and Striker

For the raid we dropped in on IntergalaticPants who was playing Horizon Zero Dawn

Work was super good this evening, very productive but now we're in danger of me having my schedule swapped around in again in order to keep working. 

Messed around a little with WWE 2K16 as I am considering streaming that as a filler night to chase a few achievements and get some footage 

Made sure to pick up South Park Snow Day

Finished the Spider-Man story commission and began work on the next one on my docket which is Power Rangers related, specifically focused on Light Speed Rescue

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II and other notes

Tonight we finished Star Wars The Force Unleashed II and boy did the final two areas of the game feel padded, in fact everything after about the second walk through the Salvation and the return to the clone planet felt either really drawn out or an excuse to reuse assets. I am aware this game was developed as a 'cash grab', but at least with the first game the return to previous areas felt both earned and justified.And the least said about the final Vader fight the better....

Story wise, Juno being reduced to a damsel in the distress at least has her trying to take a swing at Vader, and if there is no other lore attached the game, we can safely say that she and Starkiller were either killed by Boba Fett or have gone deep into hiding.

We also did the Endor DLC and sure it's blatant alternate timeline styled fan service, but it was a fun little romp, with Starkiller taking out ewoks, rebel tropps, empire stormtroopers, Chewie, Han Solo and Leia. I can forgive just how badly framed Chewie and Han's death scenes were because the fight with Leia is actually really good and a lot more satisfying from a gameplay stand point than the fight with Vader.

Tomorrow night we starting up Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

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

Work was really good with 10 interview done, although now I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have to swing back to afternoons as opposed to early evenings

About half way finished a Spider-Man related commission which I can easily knock out during the day tomorrow

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
