DCUO: Patrol Catastrophe

DCUO: Spark of Parallax

DCUO: Ferris Aircraft Bonus Solo

DCUO: Ice Cave Lair 2.0

I redid this one after getting a lot more matching base items thanks to the vault drops from holiday seasonal. The icicles and snow drifts were exactly what I needed!

Family Vacation

These are various pictures from family visitors in October.

DCUO: Bottle Feats

 The "bottle feats" from Battle for Earth DLC are another annoying one because of the 250 count for the duos. I'm doing them at a rate of 3 per week. So that puts me on pace for just under 2 years from when I first started. However, it all feels better when you realize you're working towards multiple feats.

DCUO: Controlled Breathing Feat

Controlled Breathing is famously known as a tough feat because most players will get stuck on either the back or leg pieces. And no joke... they won't get that piece for years! Usually, you get the rest of the pieces very early. I probably had them in months. The last piece for me was the legs and this is the video of it after 2 years of playing the game!

This is my new favorite restaurant. It was recommended to my parents by Auntie Remy, who is a regular there. One night, my parents went out with her and brought me left overs... a portion of the pan seared tuna, which is now my favorite dish. Since then, we've gone there for several family occasions.

Their specialty is sushi and Japanese food, but the owner has experimented with and expanded the selection to Asian Fusion. For their entrees, the seafood is the best I've ever had and I haven't even tried all of their dishes yet. The pan seared tuna is the most original dish I've seen. The edges of the tuna are seared and the middle left rare. The pieces are setup in a mountain shape around a clump of sesame soba noodles. It's then topped with seaweed and caviar. Spicy mayo forms a moat around the mountain.

The owner is also a chef and concept developer. He seems to have a personal relationship with his guests. He has hung out with us as well as every other table, making everyone feel at home. The restaurant is family run, so the staff is just as friendly as the owner.

While some dishes are mid-range to pricey, you do get your money's worth with portion size.

DCUO: Summer / Ice Cave

I expanded an ice themed base I was building, ironically using the new Summer items. Since the event is based around Aquaman, the items had an Atlantean theme. So they were mostly blue and matched perfectly with ice as I was collecting blue & white items. Even though Summer is supposed to be hot, I used the event items to build a cold base!

DCUO: Staunching Flow

Since I was playing all of my minor characters during the Summer Seasonal Event, I decided to level up my Green Lantern a little bit. This is a solo hideout feat to destroy "15" of the blood pool vats in Ellsworth Memorial Hospital, but in counting in-game and during video review, I came up with only 13 and yet the feat popped!
