Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight, Striker and Iceman were apart of the fun in Sea of Thieves as we knocked out part two of the Monkey Island cross-over adventure, and the 2nd chapter was certainly a lot more puzzle heavy and cryptic much like the original Monkey Island game. 

I did like the inclusion of the Insult Sword fighting, the appearance of Stan and many of the call backs to the original game Monkey Island game. I am convinced that a full 3D remake of the Secret of Monkey Island game will actually be really cool in regards to how well Melee Island looks.

Sea of Thieves will return next Wednesday, depending on the availability of Iceman and Striker

Tomorrow's stream will feature Borderlands 2 as we continue the Captain Scarlet content

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out stream featuring Bravestar and COPS

Work was solid if a little less productive than yesterday

Finished the second of two Fairy Tale commission requests, next up is a WWE related one, which is already about 20% complete.

Sea of Thieves Achievements

• Port of Call: You paid a visit to the sprawling Port Merrick.
• The Quest for Guybrush: You completed 'The Quest for Guybrush' Commendation.

Borderlands 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Borderlands 2 saw us go into one of the DLC  content of Captain Scarlet and her Pirate's Booty, which has everything scaled to be at the the mid to up 20s in terms of levels, which means I'm getting to grind out levels to put myself in a good position to make the main game's final few mission areas trivial.

Was joined by a couple of people at random, so I got to see how much more damage is needed to be done to enemies with as many as two other people playing at the same time. Only problem is since I don't use a headset voice chat was not possible.

Borderlands 2 will return on Thursday

Tomorrow's stream will feature either Sea of Thieves or Smite, depending on who is avaliable

For the raid we dropped in on gatling_hawk who was also playing Borderlands 2

Work was solid this evening despite a weird moment where I got disconnected even through there was no issues with my internet connection.

60% finished the current commission request based on Fairy Tail, will easily finish it tomorrow, trying to get it as close to 5000 works as possible

Picked up the Grandia Collection for Xbox... one of these days Grandia III will see a port

Borderlands 2 Achievements

• Decked Out: Had Purple-rated gear or better equipped in every slot
• Always Improving: Reached level 25

Borderlands 2 and other notes

We got a fair amount done in Borderlands 2 this evening, with several side quests and two big story mission that reunites the Vault Hunters from the original game, which basically puts us on the homestretch of finishing the game.

I need to figure out the level start points for Borderlands 2 DLC as I would like to do them before starting on the final leg of the game which is focused on taking down Handsome Jack. I know at least two require to be at level 30, but there should be others

Borderlands 2 will be back tomorrow night

For the raid we dropped in on sweetlindir who was playing Fortnite

Work was super productive this evening, we closed out an assignment, but then switched to one that broke my brain because of who we were looking to speak to went from listed only to anyone.

Finished one Fairy Tail story for a SubscribeStar request and now working on another story based on the anime / mangafor a Commission. It's about 15%  done

Borderlands 2 Achievements

• Farewell, Old Girl: Completed the mission "Wildlife Preservation"
• Well That Was Easy: Completed the mission "Shoot This Guy in the Face"
• Got The Band Back Together: Completed the mission "The Once and Future Slab"

Overwatch 2 and other notss

Tonight's stream of Overwatch 2 featured several matches in the Mirrorwatch event to progress in that before settling into standard Quick Play matches. Shoutout to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun from start to finish.

Also yes, I do have a pretty damn good success rate when it comes to calling out people for cheating in Overwatch 2, there are somethings that just don't look natural.

Overwatch 2 will of course be back next Sunday.

Tomorrow night we return to Borderlands 2 and progressing through side quests. 

Big thanks to tfalexis1165 for raid following their stream of Minecraft

For tonight's raid we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV 

Got some writing done on the first of two Fairy Tail commissions, had a hard time figuring out the intro, but when it doubt make a Cheers reference and basically including Norm for a heap gag.

Going to record this week's episode of the Daria reactions before doing some writing and heading to bed.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and other notes

Tonight we wrapped up the achievement hunting in Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, going through and getting the minikits and citizens in peril via Free Play mode. I still find it funny that Supergirl only becomes available after basically 100% completing everything else in the game. Total time spent completing Lego Batman 2 was about 30 hours.

Now we did do some bonus gaming with WWE 2K16, getting a few achievements in that this evening. Took a while to get comfortable with the controls but once we did we put it on Legend Difficulty.

Next Saturday we will be starting Persona 4 Golden... just over a year after we started Persona 3 Portable. P4G will stay on Saturdays only until we finish Borderlands 2.

Tomorrow night we're playing Overwatch 2

For the raid we visited IntergalaticPants who was playing Baldur's Gate 3

Loaded up the fridge with groceries today... and picked up something from Checkers... but they got my order wrong, ended up with a large coke instead of a small sprite and a milkshake instead of a cheesecake sundae

Watched parts 1 and 2 of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, and being very familiar with the original story and how it was told in comic book form, I can safely both films are a disjointed mess. Not to say there aren't great moments and I enjoyed both film to the point I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion when part 3 comes out.

Finished the Star Wars commission request and next up is the first of two back to back Fairy Tail stories. Will get started on that before I go to bed

Ghost of Tsushima and other notes

After about 14 weeks, we've finally finished Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima as tonight was pretty much dedicated to major story points to finish up that part of the story after checking to see if we missed anything finding one last Mongol Camp and Fox Shrine before progressing the story. 

The multiple stealth sections in short order I could have done without, but in the end we're in the home stretch, but there is still a lot to do as we now have the entire frozen wasteland to explore!

Ghost of Tsushuma will return next Friday night!

Tomorrow we're back to Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes as we hunt Mini-Kits and Citizens in Peril!

For the raid we dropped in on samaell_alwahm who was playing Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

Work was oddly high paced, but productive... really wish I wasn't dragged into client monitoring for a second straight night.

Nearly finished the Star Wars commission, it's about 90% complete as I aim to get it as close to 5000 words as possible.

Got a birthday present for my oldest niece which I hope she likes... at the very least it can be re-gifted!

Got to consider what groceries to get tomorrow... so far on the list is milk, cereal, bread, and my usual pasta stuffs.

Borderlands 2 and other notes

Tonight's stream of Borderlands 2 saw me focusing on doing side quests that are consider trivial in terms of difficulty, because I tend to engage in a lot of combat when playing in an effort to overpower the game. Certainly need to remember to keep a corrosive weapon on hand at all times because it generally melts most enemies.

We did not get any achievements this evening, as I could of sworn there would be some dedicated to doing side quests. 

Borderlands 2 will return on Monday

Friday night's stream will feature Ghost of Tsushima

Thank you to Oldish22 for a raid following their stream

For the raid we dropped in on la_leyenda_23 who was playing Fallout 76 

Made the decision that after we get the last few achievements in Lego Batman 2, Saturdays will be dedicated to Persona 4 Golden until we we're able to move it the weeknight slots

We did have work today and it was super productive for me in terms of completion. Thankfully it was a very short research assignment.

I'm about 60% finished the Star Wars story commission I'm working on. Having no work the last couple of days allowed for me to put a huge dent into the queue I had built up
