Today's Notes 7/24/21: Breaking Baldur

Good afternoon everybody,

Last night's stream saw us finish the main story of God of War, which probably took about an hour and half to, since it was all going to certain places, getting items and advancing things along to the fight with Baldur, which was a pretty epic encounter since Freya was caught in the middle. It is funny how Kratos tried to stay out of it, but his very nature lead to him killing Baldur even though Freya was willing to die for her son. This probably sets up the next game in a big way with Freya probably getting back with Odin for revenge. I did love teaser that shows Thor arriving at the cabin where Kratos and the Boy live... and it's funny, that said teaser does indicate several years later, which fits perfectly with how God of War: Ragnarok is coming out next year. 

Now following the 30 minutes of credits, (and yes I let them play even if I was switching scenes) We started in on doing the things I skipped over, a couple of stray enemies, chasing down two Valkyries (that took multiple attempts to defeat) and roaming one of the two realms we had access to but put off exploring... and if I knew each area would have had items to power up my weapons I would've gone to them first! Still there is an entire other area left to explore and a few trophies to hunt down. We may keep God of War in the line up for next week... plus we also have 3 more Valkyries to find... plus the final one that is apparently nearly impossible to beat. 

Anyway since this was a PS4 title that meant we had achievements... or rater trophies unlocked.

1. Twilight Beckons: Defeat Baldur
2. Last Wish: Spread the ashes
3. All Will Fall: Kill 1,000 Enemies
4. Why Fight It?: Fully upgrade the Blades of Chaos

And of course we have a few clips from last night as well.

God of War 7/23/21 Clip 1: Pounding The Meat

God Of War 7/23/21 Clip 2: Well... He Dead 

God of War 7/23/21 Clip 3: The Teaser 

God of War 7/23/21 Clip 4: Defeating the Valkyrie of The Mountain

God of War 7/23/21 Clip 5: Taking Down The Valkyrie Of Muspelheim 

Now of course with God of War done, that really cements that Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep will be starting on Monday night, apparently it will take about 26-30 hours to finish that game and since I'll be taking the casual road, hopefully it will be very straight forward!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 28 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 447 kcal, and we did do some extra today, so the total session lasted 40 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 657 kcal. We're now up to 97 out of 100 for the Evan's Best Friend Achievement, which means we could knock it out tomorrow, a day earlier than I was anticipating. 

Today we also added Road Rash for the PlayStation to the collection, since we already have Road Rash 3D, I think there is one more game in the series for the original PlayStation to add, and I think it's called Road Rash Jailbreak.

For tonight's stream we'll be getting back to Pokemon: Let's Go Eevee as we're picking up right after the second gym, and we'll be going after every Pokemon we see to try and level up as quickly as possible before we reach the 3rd gym on our journey!

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