Today's Notes: 6/21/21: Up Way Too Damn Early

Good morning everybody,

I woke up super early, at like 5:30 AM for no real reason so we got the day started.

Last night's stream of Overwatch was really heavy on the Mayhem matches, since that particular arcade mode kicked in at 8 PM Eastern for the first time in a while, and we managed to get 9 wins in it, which meant 3 loot boxes... which would be cool if I didn't already have everything possible one could get out of the generic loot boxes. Still, I had 5 plays of the game last night, 1 as Moira, 1 as Reinhardt and 3 as Dva! Big thanks to Panda Sweet for being apart of all the fun!

And of course, we do have links to some of my favorite moments of last night's stream which I'll list next

Twitch Clip: Some how I was still alive!

Twitch Clip: Took Them All The Way Down!

Twitch Clip: Nerf This! That's How You End A Match!

I did finish the mini-Overwatch fan fic I started on Friday after basically re-writing what I had down already to give myself an option for a follow up. I feel I had the dialog down the way I wanted, but the action and climax of the story (pun intended) were a little meh... but I haven't really sat down to write any serious fan fiction in quite a while. The basic premise is based around the one character interaction Tracer and Moira has that sometimes trigger when they are on the same team when waiting for a match to start. Anyway it's up over on HF under the title of Scientific Curiosity. 

Since on Friday we broke in the PlayStation 4, I figure we'll officially start up a large game using the system for Friday of this week. The most obvious choice is Final Fantasy VII: Remake, but I am leaning also towards Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness. We'll see what ends up being the big PS4 game later in the week.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was streamed, and we kept it basic, going just 31 minutes with the workout, so the estimated calorie burn was 492, but I did put max effort into everything. We're up to 71 points out of 100 for Laurea's Best Friend achievement, so if things hold steady we'll knock that out by maybe in nine days, 10 days at the most. And since this session was stream we have some clips.

Twitch Clip: Ready?

Twitch Clip: Time to pick it up!

Tonight we are continuing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition saga with the start of Mass Effect 3, which we'll be playing for the first time on console... which means I'll have to track down my notes for where every little item is that has to be scanned for, which means we'll be chased by the Reapers a lot and fuel re-fill points and credits will be very scarce. Still it should be fun as we've tackled every side quest over the first two games, so we should be in good shape for Galactic Readiness (in theory). We'll get this started in the early evening.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
