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)

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) Trophies

• The Headstrong Thief: Complete all of Yuna's Tales.

Borderlands 2 and other notes

Tonight we started playing Borderlands 2, and we're playing it on the Xbox Series console to take advantage of the texture pack. For this play through, we're playing as Gaige, and I quickly discovered her Deathtrap Robot is going to be used a lot. 

We covered every side quest we came across so far and finished the night where we reach the front door of Sanctuary,  but it was getting late, so next time we play we're going after Reese.

Borderlands 2 will return on Monday's stream.

Tomorrow we're playing Ghost of Tsushima as we explore the western half of the ACT 2 portion of the map.

 For the raid we dropped in on rumhamshmah who was playing Resident Evil 2

I was expecting not to have work today, but turned out we did, so we didn't lose hours, and tonight was a bit better than the last two nights. Of course this means I now have to try and rebound for tomorrow to work mid-day... ugh.

Finished the Mass Effect commission which involved a fuck ton of rewrites... but at least we got it done. Next up on my list is a Fairy Tail commission.

Several chapters into Becky Lynch's book, and yeah, one can see why she is The Man!

Borderlands 2 Achievements

• First One's Free: Completed the mission "My First Gun"
• Not Quite Dead: Reached level 5
• Dragon Slayer: Completed the mission "Best Minion Ever"

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
