Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

 We got a lot done as it relates to DLC in Marvel's Midnight Suns, completing Morbius and Venom's story, encountered Dracula and got a step closer to finishing Storms. As a side adventure it doesn't derail too much from the main story of the game, and serves as a nice way to have the addition DLC characters fit in. Also we got a lot of a achievements and are making good progress to make sure we'll be able to do damn near everything!

 Marvel Midnight Suns will return on Saturday

 Tomorrow night we're playing J-Stars Victory Vs

 For the raid we dropped in on abenonymous who was playing Need for Speed

Took something to ease the pain in my ankle and it KO'ed me, ended up starting work a half hour late...

Work itself was solid, and I was able to make up for it.

Got a large portion of the Star Wars commission done, just not as much as I would have liked, but I knew this story would take more than a standard amount of time

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight's stream of Sea Of Thieves saw Iceman and I finding a ton of Bounty Skulls thanks to the various circumstances, including our first run in with Gold, Shadow and Leaf Skeletons, all of which have weaknesses that have to be accounted for..

Sea of Thieves is slated to be featured next Wednesday

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their weekly ZoneOut stream

I must have taken a bad step, as my left foot feels hot and sore similar to when I sprained my ankle last year 

Work was solid tonight, but it was the third different assignment I've been on in three days

Started work on the Star Wars commission, and got the intro and set up written.... so I can work on the first action scene tomorrow

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

Tonight we extended the stream of Marvel Midnight Suns because I was trying to find the last one of the plants I needed to that collection related achievement... sadly RNG is a factor even with a guide knowing where stuff will spawn. Need to make sure to go hunting on the Waxing Moon next time in game.

Otherwise we advanced the plot the Sanctum Santorum has been destroyed, but we were able to finally start the Venom DLC, which means the sub-story involving the DLC characters can progress forward. Mephisto being a factor is kind of cute.

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Thursday's stream.

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

Work was solid, the assignment was not as good as last night however

Finished the Persona 3 story, next up is a large Star Wars one, hopefully I can pad it out to make up for lost work from last week 

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

  • KKRRAKATHOOM: Spent 10 Heroism with a single ability.
  • A Light Extinguished: Completed the New York story missions.
  • Never Been Satisfied: Completely spend and then refill Venom's Ravenous meter in a single encounter.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We actually got a lot done in marvel's Midnight Suns this evening as we spent a lot of time in the Abbey to get the final words of Power, learn what really happened with Lilith and unlocking every Hunter ability. We were very through, and at this point we have over 50% of the achievement unlocked.

One achievement that might be a pain in the ass is one for collecting ten of every type of plant, as I need six of one particular type which only spawns on certain nights.

Still next time we play we're going to liberate the Sanctum Santorum to complete Act 1. 

We'll be continuing Marvel Midnight Suns tomorrow night

For the raid we dropped in on moonlitsoju who was playing Persona 4 Golden

We had work and it was solid, a little hospital research study in New York.

Finished the Spider-Man commission request, since it was a mini story, next up is a Persona one 

I am so done with this heat wave....

Marvel's Midnight Suns Achievements

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We had a fun night of Overwatch 2, knocking out the three weekly challenges, and shockingly got the 2nd of Doomfists related achievements, over a year and  three months from when I unlocked the first tone.

We also played some Smite this evening, six matches three as a Egyptian gods and three as Roman gods, going three and three..

Big thanks to PandaSweet and Striker for being apart of the fun this evening!

Overwatch 2 with the possibly of Smite will return next Sunday

Tomorrow night Marvel's Midnight Suns will be featured

For the raid we dropped in on IntergalaticPants who was playing Marvel's Guardians the Galaxy

Loaded up on groceries, mostly salads and stuff

Finished the WWE commission story today, next up is a Spider-Man related one 

Was able to finally get a fixed signal for MeTV Toons again, by literally turning my flat OTA antenna around. How long will we keep the signal, is the real question!

Overwatch 2 Achievements

  • Cratered: Hit 4 enemies with a single use of Doomfist's Meteor Strike in Quick or Competitive Play.

Marvel's Midnight Suns and other notes

We got a  lot done in Marvel Midnight Suns, several two DLC achievements as well as main game achievements, plus advancing the plot to where we dropped a church bell on Venom. We have to be closing in on Act 1!

Marvel's Midnight Suns will return on Sunday's stream

Tomorrow's stream will feature Overwatch and the possiibility of Smite, depending on when we knock out weekly challenges

J-STARS Victory VS and other notes

Tonight we advanced the plot in J-Stars Victory Vs, winning the Jump Tournament and then learning it was all a ruse, but at least now I have the option to use more than just a handful of characters for match up combinations. We knocked out several grind related achievements and have well over 60% of the trophies for this game.

J-Stars Victory Vs returns next Friday night with probably a big focus on hunting down Shadow ships

Tomorrow we're back to playing Marvel's Midnight Suns

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama who was playing Sonic Adventure 2

No work because of the July 4th Holiday Weekend
