Borderlands 2 and other notes

We got a fair bit done in Borderlands 2 tonight, we rescued Roland, helped an A.I. discover its true purpose, leveled up a few times and met Tiny Tina... so all and all a good time. Also, the TMNT reference for a side quest was rather cute.

Borderlands 2 will return on Monday's stream

Thank you to Oldish22 for the raid tonight

Tomorrow we're playing Ghost of Tsushima as I continue to work my way through Act 2

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

Work was bleh... as out servers went down for two hours, but at least I got the full shift in, but tomorrow there is no work, so next Friday's check is going to be looking rather lean.

Nearly finished a Batman commission fic, going to knock that out before bed. Since I don't have work tomorrow I can probably fully buckle down to knock out an added story

Actually I'm going to record next week's Daria Reaction before bed... but after finishing that commission fic

Sea of Theives and other notes

Tonight's Iceman, Striker and I started the Monkey Island content and as a call back to the Monkey Island games I've played, it was awesome, seeing all the references was a real retreat and I loved how faithful it was making a 3D representation of Melee Island.

We'll continue the Monkey Island saga next week is Striker is able to join us, since next week is their Birthday.

Iceman and I also did some Fantasy Baseball chatting to see what tweaks can be made to the team we put together for the twitch channel. Granted a couple of trolls rolled in talking about ceiling spiders, which we no-sold.

Tomorrow night we're back to Borderlands 2!

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama!

Work was cut short today, so I've lost 50% of my hours for the day... took a nap afterward because... yeah.

Did finish a WWE commission before work and start work on a Batman related one, which thankfully can be kept rather short.

Got the new lights for the basements installed so now I can rotate which lights I have on at any given time

Sea of Thieves Achievements

  • The Journey to Mêlée Island: You completed 'The Journey to Mêlée Island' Commendation.

Borderlands 2 and other notes

Stream ran long tonight because I got lost during the Firehawk Cult finale... and I think the same thing happened years ago when I played the Steam version of Borderlands 2. Still got a fair bit done, popping various achievements and such.

Borderlands 2 will return on Thursday

Tomorrow night we're playing either Sea of Thieves or Smite.

For the raid we dropped in on makaybear4 who was playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare III

Work was better than yesterday, but not by much... and what really sucks is that I have to do mid-day shifts all this week. Was really counting on working evening to get some major commissions done

Speaking of which, maybe about 40% through a WWE related one.

Got to wake up early because I'm expecting a delivery of LED lights for my basement / office.

Managed to get the co-op related achievement in Lego Batman 2 after looking up how to do it solo. Also down to the final 50 Gold Bricks to find... but 13 are tied to minikits and citizens in peril

Borderlands 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Borderlands 2 saw a huge hang up when it came to making sure I can redeem the SHIFT Keys in order to get top tier gear every so often.Once that was sorted, we made nice progress, knocking out two story missions, high fived Claptrap and did several side quests.

There is one I came across that I know I'm not looking forward to doing and that involves making deliveries. I don't think I finished that quest in the Steam version several years ago.

Borderlans 2 will return tomorrow night for more fun

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

Work today was a complete slog as being so use to working evenings has me fighting to stay away...  ended up taking a nap after ward

Finished the Spider-Man commission after I finished work but before that nap, next up is a WWE related on, which I'll probably have to adjust some things to in order to keep it from being a two-parter 

New Jersey is replacing lead water pipes so now I have to deal with having their licensed pros coming into my home and doing who knows what to the front of my house. Hopefully I don't have a lead pipe and that can be avoided!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 was a test of patience at time when seeing some incredible amounts of bullshit happen involve randoms I was teamed it. Still, had three plays of the game and we were joined by Panda Sweet to end the night on a three game win streak!

New Season of Overwatch starts on Tuesday, looking forward to working on the new Battlepass

Tomorrow's stream will feature Borderlands 2

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

The Xbox Live issues for backwards compatiable games seems to be resolved... even though its saying I unlocked last nights achievements in Lego Batman 2 OFFLINE 

I have to remember that work tomorrow and Tuesday are at Mid-day.

Currently working on a Spider-Man commission request, going to rock and roll through it, keep it basis and straight forward

The community Fantasy Baseball team won this week, winning 5 out of 10 categories (Runs Scored, RBI, Home Runs, Batting Average and Strikeouts), we tied on Stolen Bases while losing in Wins, Saves, ERA and WHIP

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and other notes

Tonight's stream was pretty casual as we focused on achievement hunting in Lego Batman 2, having completely 60% of the game in terms of various objectives. Going to have to go through every level in free play mode to try and find all the mini-kits and citizens in peril. The Golden Bricks are mostly doable its just a matter of getting to each one and dealing with them as Batman and or Robin because of a couple of their unique suits

Lego Batman 2 will return next Saturday night for more achievement hunting. So this weeks line up will be

  • Sunday - Overwatch 2
  • Monday - Borderlands 2
  • Tuesday - Borderlands 2
  • Wednesday - Sea of Thieves or Smite
  • Thursday - Borderlands 2
  • Friday - Ghost of Tsushima
  • Saturday - Lego Batman 2

Which means of course, tomorrow night we're playing Overwatch 2

For the raid we dropped in on ElegentySlays who was playing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 

There is an XBox Live connection for Xbox 360 era games was not working, and I had to spend 30 minutes trying to report it since this is the second time in four months this happened (the last time was back in January)

Pretty much had a lazy Saturday, just chilled and relaxed

Nearly finished the Fairy Tail commission story, just needs about another page to wrap up its loosends

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

Tonight's stream of Ghost of Tsushima saw a major focus on exploration, knocking out Yuna's story arc, finding the remaining duels and basically just roaming around in general. Basically opened up a major area in the middle of the map to explore next Friday.

Also at this point I have about 44% of the trophies in the base game, so doing a fine job getting the most out of it. 

Tomorrow we're doing some achievement hunting in Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes, big focus will be on stud collecting

For tonight's raid we dropped in on annietalksshow who was playing Valorant

Had to work mid-day today because I committed to it... and still lost an hour of work. Of course rebounding from last night to work during the day was not easy.

Then next week I have to work mid-day Monday and Tuesday which is going to suck royallyin terms of getting any writing done.

Got a good start on the Fairy Tail commission request and I should be able to knock it out tomorrow

I'm over half way through  Becky Lynch's book, up to where she getting her first big push in NXT (teaming with Sasha Banks in Team BAE)
