Smite and other notes

Tonight's stream of Smite saw Striker and I playing six matches, winning four of them. The final match ended up being quite irky because one player on our team stayed in the spawn area the entire match. Promptly reported them for basically not participating.

Tomorrow's stream will feature the start of Borderlands 2

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama who was having a 420 Special ten days early

Work was another slog tonight, I could have had three interviews done but had issues where the calls ended unexpected on two of them. And chances are I won't have work tomorrow and will have to do a mid-day shift on Friday.

Had a case of rewrite-itus as the Mass Effect commission I'm working on saw me restart it three times before figuring out how I would do it. 

Recorded my review of South Park Snow Daria and next weeks installment of The Daria Reactions (covering the the fifth episode of season one.

Also my copy of Becky Lynch's book arrived today, and it's easily one of the better wrestling books I've read so far.

South Park Snow Day and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up South Park Snow Day, making it the 12th game we've finished this year, and I have to say it's the weakest in terms of story when compared to The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole. Overall it's a very compact game and straight forward game, that rewards a little exploration.

It being a rouge lite is kind of where it needs to shine, and it really is going to need some form of DLC campaigns to really make it feel more than a cash grab or a tech-demo

Starting Thursday we'll be playing Borderlands 2 on the Xbox Series Console

Our next stream will feature Smite due to Iceman not being able to join us for Sea of Thieves this week

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing League of Legends 

Work was a real drag tonight... was so bad that when I sneezed and got a headache I thought about laying down. On the positive side, I think I might have earned some extra incentive related cash

Finished the Star Wars commission story around noon today, and started trying ti figure out how to approach the next commission story on my agenda which is Mass Effect related

South Park Snow Day and other notes

We started South Park Snow Day this evening and from I can tell, it's a fairly short game, but visually it's stunning, there is a low of effort to translate the 2D world of the cartoon to a 3D Environment, all the character models look great.

On the Easy difficulty it certainly presents a fair challenge, but with multiplayer active, it because a total cakewalk. I think we'll do tomorrow on Normal difficulty with the open party from the start. Or I can solo it and try and get three streams out of this game.

But yup, We'll continue South Park Snow Day tomorrow night

For the raid we dropped in on  misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Work started off slow, but picked up towards the end of my shift.

Going to be working on the Star Wars commission request, got a fair amount done during the day but not as much as I would like

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was interesting, with the April Fools 'Balance Overwatch Mode', along with some highly questionable teammates in standard Quick Play. Couple of matches were so bad, I checked out of it, But on the plus side were joined by PandaSweet who got a new gaming rig!

Also managed to get the voice lines of Ashe yelling 'Fred' instead of Bob, because of course I would want to use them for my stream. 

Big thank you to those who re-subscribed to my Twitch channel! Greatly appreciate it!

Tomorrow night we're starting South Park Snow Day, and I learned that there is no crossplay for it. I could have sworn it was hyped with having crossplay.

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

Had a really wonky night after last night's stream, had a hard time just sitting down and feeling all ramped up

Finished the My Hero Academia commission story just before tonight's stream, next up is a Star Wars related one

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League and other notes

Tonight's stream ended up having the entire first hour talking about wrestling before we started messing with Suicide Squad, mostly doing random stuff and teaming with random players. Things started getting wonky around 9:30 PM with some server issues.

The Spring 'Easter' skins for the main squad are... interesting with Harley's being the best.

Didn't particularly care for the Green Lantern version of the Brainiac fight, while it has the same gimmick as the story version, I did discover there is a major glitch if you're in the wrong spot during an in-fight cut scene, as I got stuck running place.

Tomorrow night we'll be playing Overwatch 2.

For the raid we dropped in on intergalaticpants who was playing Baldur's Gate 3

Took it easy today and rested for the most part.

Going to be working on the My Hero Academia related story, got a good start on it already earlier today after figuring out how I want to approach it since I've never read the manga or seen the anime.

Happy birthday to my cousin Rachel!

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima saw more side adventures with a bit of story advancement. Fell off a cliff a few times, but ended up getting on armor that required liberating six farms. Still have to learn one more technique to complete a series of side objectives. Also learned the locations of two duels that will lead lead to a major combat move.

I figure next week I'll work on covering the west side of the map, making sure we don't miss anything along the way.

Tomorrow night we're playing Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League with the goal of teaming with randoms.

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

We had work this evening, it was not quite as super hot as the last two nights, but we hit the target I was looking for at least

There was apparently an Earthequake today at 10:30 AM here in New Jersey... I didn't feel it, but my cousin who lives in Philadelphia says they felt it.

Finished the WWE commission fic and now have started work on my first commission that involves My Hero Academia

Grabbed a steak sandwich from Donkey's Place today... it was quite delicious!

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and other notes
