Day of the Tentacle, Smite and other Notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream opened with Day of the Tentacle and it was pretty much a sprint to the finish, even as I was taking my time and making sure I got nearly every achievement in the game, missing two that are not very obvious. I have a lot of positive things to say about the console port of this game, and it makes me wonder why Lucas Arts and Disney has not done remasters of other games from the Point and Click era of the 90s. Obviously I'll be doing a review of this game for my YouTube channel. Question of what will replace it in the weekly line up is up in the air at the moment.

Now Day of the Tentacle didn't fill the entire stream, as we loaded things up with Smite for the first time in a while, winning a couple of matches and losing a couple, playing as Athena, Baset, Discordia and Cupid. We will not talk about the Assault match which was a 3 versus 5 waste of time and downer to end the stream on.

Wednesday's stream over on twitch.tv/fredcasden will start around 9:30 PM Eastern, but Journey to the Savage Planet will be on hold as Iceman needs to work late, so we'll either start Starfield or RetroMania

 For the raid we went to www.twitch.tv/EcoNstinct where Fortnite was being featured

Watched Justice League X RWBY Part 2 today, and it was a fun continuation of the first film, but it certainly made quite a few references to things in the later seasons of RWBY I didn't know about, which means I'll have to watch and catch up. There was one minor bit of disappointment in that the second film didn't fully commit to Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake adapting things to the DC Universe as things ended up favoring them using their standard abilities in the films climax.

Knocked out an commission story based on the Arrowverse today, and got an instant request for a follow up, which is awesome.

I certainly got something in mind for Halloween, just need to get the pieces together for it.

And on that note, good night!

Day of the Tentacle and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Day of the Tentacle was a lot of fun, as I remembered quite a lot of the game considering I've played it a lot since the mid 1990s, not to mention remembering some of the achievements from the Steam version, so we were knocking Xbox achievements out in rapid succession, while also not skimping on any of the games content. We'll easily wrap up Day of the Tentacle on Tuesday night's stream (which is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden)

I am impressed with how well the Mouse and Keyboard controls were adapted for use with a game pad, which made doing a couple of repeated actions a hell of a lot quicker (such as ringing the bell 100 times), which makes me curious to see how other point and click games were adapted to console play

Tonight's raid was to twitch.tv/lilmoolah_ where Cyberpunk 2077 was being featured 

Word was alright today, picked one interview which made me feel productive and so we get to do it again tomorrow lol.

Knocked out a Resident Evil commission request, which I felt was a little lackluster, but at the same time it was introducing the character of Ada Wong to the nonsense that was established already. Picked up another commission request based on the TV series Arrow to try and feature China White, which is going to be though considering  I don't remember that character at all.

Phillies won tonight, going up 1-0 in the NLCS against the Diamondbacks, now they just need 3 more wins to make to the the World Series.

Good night folks

Overwatch 2 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was kind of weird because the entire first hour was lost, I don't know why but the stream had a weird reset take place which basically removed a great back fill match I had as Moira plus our one look at the Trials of Sanctuary game mode. Can't think of the last time that happened. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun tonight.

We picked up three Plays of the Game, two as Junker Queen and one as Moira. Also played as Reinhardt, Tracer, Ana, Sombra, D.va and Bastion.

Our next scheduled stream is for 9:30 PM Eastern on Monday night, with the Xbox version of Day of the Tentacle, a game I'm very familiar with, but on the PC side of things. Going to be interesting playing it with a controller. 

For tonight's raid we went over to  twitch.tv/x_lumineee who was also playing Overwatch

Did some writing today, finished the Avatar the Last Airbender story commission, and with nothing in the queue I managed to some work on my own ideas for the Persona project I'm working on. Did ended up getting another Resident Evil commission which I worked on a bit as well, which takes priority over the Persona story.

We're finally going to take a look at RetroMania this week, and that's slated for Thursday Night's stream. Heard good things about it, and depending on how I feel, we might try and do it's story mode on stream.

Speaking of new things, we're also putting Starfield on Saturdays, there are other games I want to play during the weekday streams, and since we just finished a massive open world first person game in Cyberpunk 2077, I want to ease me way into Starfield.

Had some Chinese food for dinner today, just a simple change of pace.

All in all, those are out notes for today!

Good night!

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream went about 7 hours starting at 5 PM Eastern as we wrapped up our chosen path for the Phantom Liberty story in Cyberpunk 2077, choosing to send Songbird to the moon, and it certainly was an action packed route, complete with trying to sneak around the airport terminal. Did run into a few glitches in not being able to pull up menus without reloading saves and one side gig not completing but that's alright, it was secondary. Now the thing is we won't be able to do any of the other ending for Phantom Liberty because I don't know where the major branching paths are.

But we did get the final ending and achievement needed for the original game, doing to Nomad raid ending, which leads to V and Judy both leaving Night City, so combining that ending with sending Songbird to the moon makes for a pretty satisfying conclusion.

I am actually going to do a follow up review to my Cyberpunk 2077 that is coming out on my YouTube Channel in a few months.This way I can act like I reconsidered some things

Don't know what's taking over the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday slots of the week yet, but I do not Starfield will be placed on Saturdays starting next week.

Out next scheduled stream is for 5 PM Eastern on Sunday with Overwatch 2 on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• The Star: Leave Night City with the Aldecaldos.
• Dirty Deeds: Complete every Gig in Dogtown.
• Spin Doctor: Complete “Run This Town”.
• King of Wands: Take Songbird to the stars.

Tonight's Raid: twitch.tv/djparticle
Playing: Portal 2

Need to do the dishes when I wake up, also need to do a better job doing proper proportions with my meals.

Finished the WWE story commission, and started on the Avatar: Last Airbender related one. It'll be finished tomorrow for sure, and I know there is a Resident Evil one in the queue that'll be after it.

Nearly forgot that I potentially have jury duty coming up on the 23rd of October... ugh, hopefully I won't be needed or that I can talk my way out of it.

The people cleaning out my neighbors house broke the latch on the gate... and I know they did it because it was in one piece on Thursday when I went to the post office! Fucking jerks.

And on that note, good night everyone!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Horizon Zero Dawn saw a big focus on exploration and finding goodies in the Frozen Wilds area, which was originally DLC when the game was released, and the tougher enemies has meant we managed to do some serious leveling, as the entire region was meant to be played after you finished the base game. Now we did cover a good amount of ground, progressing some of it's story and realizing there is a ton of stuff to find that is necessary to be able to get the best weapons and armor

Next time we play HZD, which will be next Friday, we'll continue or journey through the Frozen Wilds

Our next stream on Saturday night, slated fo a 5 PM Eastern start time over on twitch.tv/fredcasden will featured Cyberpunk 2077

Horizon Zero Dawn Trophies

• Drained the Flood: Completely drained the floodwater from inside the Greycatch.
• First Bluegleam Trade: Traded Bluegleam for a special weapon or outfit.

Tonight's Raid: twitch.tv/erikamonky
What They Were Playing: Phasmophobia

Work was alright, nothing special, just mundane...

Had a sudden job interview where the company a) didn't list themselves as indicated on Indeed and b) was clearly fraudulent in the position they were offering. On top of that their hiring manager certainly did not give me a good impression as they couldn't answer my question

I was not able finish the WWE related commission story today, but it's about 80% complete so I'll be able to bang it out first thing in the morning, and then start on the Avatar The Last Air Bender story request.

And on that note, I'm off to bed!

Good night!

 

Cyberpunk 2077 and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Cyberpunk 2077 saw a focus on trying to make sure we had all the relic upgrades, which saw a lot of trying to figure out which ones I had found already before realizing which two I didn't have. This resulted in getting an achievement  that only 0.15% of players unlocked. We also advanced the plot, and put our selves in a position to possibly finished the Phantom Liberty content on Saturday's stream.

Cyberpunk 2077 Achievements

• Relic Ruler: Unlock all Perks in the Relic Perk tree.

Our next stream for Friday night will feature Horizon Zero Dawn as we'll head into the Frozen Wilds area to that content. I believe we should be able to hang in with the apparent tougher enemies there.Stream will start around 9:30 PM Eastern over on twitch.tv/fredcasden

Per the recommendation of alexisthefemboy we raided twitch.tv/brittballs who was playing Portal 

Went out the post office to mail off my mail-in ballot for the upcoming General Election, ended up feeling incredibly sore and stiff in my lower back.

Knocked off a Mass Effect story commission this afternoon which turned out rather nicely.

Speaking of commission, the next two will  involve WWE anad Avatar The Last Airbender.

Work tonight was okay, got one interview done, so I felt productive in that regard.

Phillies beat the Braves 3-1 to advance to the NLCS, pulled up the radio feed on my phone to listen to the final out during the stream

And those are all of our notes today!

Good night folks!

Journey to the Savage Planet and other notes

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream featured more of the weekly fun we have with Iceman as we resumed Journey to the Savage Planet. We ended up focusing on the main story quests in trying to find the elements we needed to get through areas that are quite difficultly if not impossible to get around. We certainly ran into some boss level enemies which added a lot of strategy to deal with. the Floopsnoot requiring the hurling of acid goop took a little while to figure out.

Our next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern as we continue Cyberpunk 2077 to continue the Phantom Liberty story arc over on http;//twitch.tv/fredcasden

Journey to the Savage Planet: Employee of the Month Edition Achievements

• Floopsnoot Queen Defeated: Successfully ended the bloodline of an endangered alien species! Congratulations!
• Ambidextrous: Use every left hand tool in the game. Gotta hand it to you: You're pretty handy.
• A Little Help, Please: Revive your Co-Op partner. Let's hope they learn to start pulling their weight.

Tonight's Raid: twitch.tv/mst3k
Streaming: Mystery Science Theater 3000

Finished a Spider-Man commission today in fairly straight forward order, making the sixth in a series based on the PS4 games.

Next commission story is based on Mass Effect, which will then be followed by a WWE commission request and then one based on Avatar The Last Airbender.

Work was solid if mundane...but right now I'm valuing the fact we got consistency for now.

Had a job interview today, think it went okay.

Picked up a few groceries, nothing major but enough where I shouldn't need to grab anything for a couple of weeks. 

Past made some pasta for two dinners.

Thursday is my niece Layal's birthday! 

And on that note good night!
