Herrrooo Dreamers,
I feel like we still have so much catching up to do with everything as of late. The Dream Stream has continued to be amazing despite any time lost to illness or the like.
TURTLE POWER MONDAYS :
Cowabunga!
After grinding for hours and hours the week before on TMNT 1, Dospostmann and I finally clutched out a victory. It was thanks to some serious help provided by ceriel 4 in chat and the legend himself skunky48's tutorial that led to a for sure victory against Shredder. This was dospostmann's and my first ever victory on Turtles 1, like holy cowabunga dude!
Well, then the reality hit that we had to do it AGAIN as a part of a Marathon set of TMNT runs. The ominous cloud that was the TMNT 1+2+3+4 Marathon Run was now right overhead. However, that would not deter us as I had a sheer adrenaline spike from the previous victory and exclaimed we could beat all 4 in 3 hours and 15 minutes!
We dove in head first! Taking on the challenge that was TMNT 1 once again and nailed a 46:47. 1 of 4 classics was in the bag and we had to adjust to co-op mode once again for 2-4. Dospostmann pulled out his patented sock tech for the next two runs!
Dospostmann pulled it off once again with consistency and resilience thanks to the new sock tech. TMNT 2 was a solid 5 minute PB at 45:36 while TMNT 3 was a monster 10 minute PB at 54:30. At this point in the run we knew we could complete our goal of 3 hours and 15 minutes, that did not stop the Dreamers from rallying us to the thoughts of a sub 3 hour run! TMNT 4 felt like a breath of fresh air and everything felt like it was moving so fast. I couldn't get past the thought that game felt so buttery smooth compared to its predecessors. Our final time was a crisp 2:54:45 and the cheering ensued.
ANIME NIGHT :
SPOILERS
We left off Anime night with the "Saint's Supper" episode 11. Kogami was able to exchange blow for blow with Senguji and come out the victor. However, in doing so, his weakened state allowed Makishima to capture Akane's friend Yuki. Akane aims her Dominator at Makishima but he shows a clear crime-coefficient and her weapon becomes useless. The puppet master himself then offers her a shotgun to equal the playing field once more as he challenges her to a stand off. She must shoot him, or he would kill his friend right in front of her. She picks up the gun but loses her gumption and fires aimlessly as he taunts her once again before following through on his word.
The terrible choice laid before Akane felt as divisional as above. Does she play Makishima's game or let her friend die? Her choice is something that has many viewers up in a tizzy, but no surprise there. I can only imagine bringing him in for justice is the only thing that Akane can see anymore, or if I was her I would be locked in until that day.
Til we Dream again!
