Asura's Wrath and other notes

 We continued Asura's Wrath this evening, going from Episode 10 to 15, plus doing the glorified FMVs that were DLC chapters 11.5 and 15.5, which adds context to the story, but at the same time, really has some questionable choices. Really enjoying the game, and in terms of  the base game achievements we have nearly 50% of them, of course there is the question of how many achievements we'll get as I did see there are some tied to difficulty settings and game play modifiers.

Funny thing, apparently screenshots of Asura's Wrath are forbidden on Facebook... go figure, but not on tumblr.

Next time we'll play Asura's Wrath will be on Saturday, where we'll go through the rest of the game and the extended story, with luck we may even do the Street Fighter crossover stuff.

Friday's stream will feature Alan Wake Remastered

 For the raid we went over to zonesama who was featuring Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire

Work was solid tonight, no real complaints

Finished the wrestling related story after last nights's stream and started work on the RWBY x Justice League commission, and counting that I have 10 stories to write to earn extra income this month. 

I really hate how long the Amazon Prime reward codes for Dead by Daylight are... and too bad the developers of that game don't have a way to link an account to just have the redeem kick over.

Good night folks!

 

Asura's Wrath and other notes

I've heard a lot about Asura's Wrath over the years, hearing how difficulty it is, and then I learned it has a mode for casual players... plus I looked at the achievement's list, there is no incentive to make this game any harder than it needs to be! So on that front I'm already on the path recommending this game for a casual experience. 

I do really like the presentation of Asuara's Wrath with everything playing out like an anime story arc. Asura's motivations for being very pissed off are more than justified with everything being laid out the way it is as well.

Looking forward to continuing it on Thursday' stream!

For the raid we went over to SweetLindir who was playing Hunt: Showdown

Asura's Wrath Achievements

• Anger Management: Activate Burst for the first time in Episode 1.
• Mortal: Achieve a D rank or higher on any episode.

 Work was 'meh' today, only one interview, hope tomorrow is better.

Nearly finished a WWE related commission request, going to bang that out before I go to bed.

Craig Kimbrel signed with Baltimore, too bad he ran out of gas, but without him the Phillies wouldn't have been in the playoffs at all.

Good night folks!

Dead by Daylight and other notes

Tonight's stream of Dead by Daylight saw the realizing that the controller I use for the Xbox One was borked with a number of issues with the LT button,, then we had a match in DBD where I couldn't move... but beyond that we had a lot of fun, surviving a few matches, getting hooked, trying out the new killer (Chucky) and getting a few achievements. Did run into a few matches with real try harder killers and players, but it was a chill night.

Tomorrow's stream will feature Asura's Wrath which should be fun.

For the raid we dropped in on mikenaiders who was also playing Dead by Daylight, the raid destination was selected by long time friend of the channel LvStrkR

Dead by Daylight Achievements

• Zealous: In a public match, get more than 8K blood points in one scoring category.
• Adept Jill: Escape with Jill using only her 3 unique perks in a public match.
• Flight to Freedom: In a public match, repair the generator in the eyrie and escape. 

Work was solid, got a few interviews done, but I did see how bad a hit I'm taking thanks to the three days off for Thanksgiving that I got stuck with. Gonna have to bang out a lot of stories to make up the difference and cash out the next payment from SubscribeStar.

Speaking of stories, since I recorded the casual review for Stray it did push back the story I was hoping to finish today based on Avatar The Last Airbender.

Also picked up the season pass for Overwatch, there are some neat skins, particularly for Junker Queen.

And on that note, good night!

Stray and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Stray and I actually remembered quite a bit from the previous play through to where I was able to avoid a lot of the death traps from before. I do kind of wonder what I missed or did wrong to not get certain achievements, but this is a game that has replay value and does have a chapter select so I can jump around to different points.

Our next stream will feature either Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, I'm leaning towards the former in terms of trying to get achievements, but of course the later is certainly a lot of fun just for the hell of it.

For the raid we went over to misscammi316 who was playing Smite

Stray Achievements

• Cat's best friend: Nuzzle up against 5 robots.
• Catwalk: Reach Midtown.
• Scratch: Scratch the vinyl in the club.
• Al-Cat-Raz: Go to jail.
• Eye Opener: Complete the game and open the city.

Work was really good tonight even though we ran a bit over my scheduled time, but hey it was a good night.

Picked up a bunch of Funkos and more on the way, going to have a real solid display of them behind me on camera.

Amazon has a real problem in using so many boxes for small items that all could be put in one box. 

Finished a Resident Evil related commission and so the next one is based on Avatar The Last Airbender

Going to record my casual review of Stray before I go to bed

See ya tomorrow!

Overwatch 2 and other notes

 Today would have been my mom's 64th birthday, and well, she was on my mind all day, but it was made better since my brother and his family came over for a little party to remember her. 

Tonight's stream of Overwatch started an hour late because I was kind of out of it, but we did do a full four hour stream, and we were joined by PandaSweet fir a large chunk of it. We certainly had moments of questionsable teammates which drove us nuts, but we had a nice mix of wins and losses. Picked up three Plays of the Game as Junker Queen, D.va and Soldier 76. Other characters used were Orissa, Genji, Echo, Torbjourn, Moira, Kiriko and Reinhardt. We also picked up an achievement as well, so all and all positive vibes.

Our next stream will see the continuation and possible wrapping up of Stray on Monday.

For the raid we went over to x_lumineee who was playing Sulka Game

Overwatch 2 Achievements

• Rocket Man: Get 2 killing blows with a single use of Soldier: 76's Helix Rockets in Quick or Competitive Play.

I got one short story commission in progress based around Resident Evil with another seven stories behind it this week, two of which are subscription stories for my SubscribeStar page. 

Assuming we finish Stray on Monday, Tuesday we'll play Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed.

Iceman won't be able to join us on Wednesday, so my next Xbox solo campagin game will start that night. which will be Asura's Wrath.

And on that note good night

Stray and other notes

Tonight's stream was a bit shorter than usual for a Saturday because of the length of last night's stream. But at the same time, since we were playing Stray, I was able to remember 90% of the first half of the game so we were able to get all the way past AntVillage. 

Of course I was taking my time trying to find various things... and safe to say, since the stream was nearly four hours there was no chance to finish it in two hours. Did have a little trouble finding the last soda can and the yellow flowers, plus had a few deaths in the zurk chase sequences.

Anyway, Stray will return on Monday night's stream, and if we can get through the remainder of the game on that night, we'll probably do something like Dead by Daylight or Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed on Tuesday.

Our next stream for Sunday will featured Overwatch 2... and will be dedicated to my mom, as she would've been 64.

Stray Achievements

• A Little Chatty: Meow 100 times.
• Missed Jump: Fall inside the city.
• Not Alone: Meet B-12.

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

Did get dinner from the 45th Street Pub, really didn't want to cook anything tonight.

Finished the NFL related commission story, and started up work on a Dragon Ball related commission, which should be pretty straight forward as way to highlight Mr. Satan.

Good night!

Horizon Zero Dawn and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up Horizon Zero Dawn, extending the stream to six hours... I could have finished it sooner but I was trying to find various power cores for the ancient armor, plus quite a few cut scenes lasted a while, and I did go in deep on every side conversation where possible. But we did knockout about 70% of everything that was pretty much possible to do in the game with a few stray things that can be knocked out if I ever want to go back and try to do trophy clean up.

This game was as good as people say it was, will I want to play it again, start to finish? Probably on a new game plus run with all my gear and stuff.

The next PlayStation 4 game on the tour will be Alan Wake Remastered, which we'll start playing next Friday.

Our next stream on Saturday night will feature Stray!

For the raid we went over to missbrittgaming who has started their first play through of Horizon Zero Dawn!

Work was solid tonight, got three interviews, even if some dudes were just rude... one person was a real treat to speak to even it took 40 minutes.

Didn't finish the story I had on deck for Friday, so it gets pushed back to Saturday. This is due to recording my casual review for Persona 5 Tactica, since I do like to record those as soon as I finish a game. In fact I'll be doing one for Horizon Zero Dawn before I go to bed as well.

Sunday would have been my mom's birthday... and that is weighing on my mind a lot.
