Today's Notes 8/22/21: We Have All Eight Badges


Good afternoon everyone,

I did not get up till 1 PM Eastern... just wanted to point that out first

Yesterday was weird as I called into work to see if they needed help, and imagine my surprise when I'm told 'yes' because 'everyone was falling behind' and I was too 'kick butt'. So what do I do is get back to back completes and suddenly everyone else got on a hot streak. Guess if I suddenly show up and get things done it means everyone else needed to get their butts in gear. So that was a good feeling.

Anyway, on to last night's stream of Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, which saw us heading for the Seafoam Islands first... and I happened to stumble across Articuno, I wasn't actually looking for it, I just happened to find it while working my way through the cavern of Seafoam Island. Imagine my surprise at how easily Eevee was able to take it on using the Buzzy Buzz, and then capturing it was no where near as big a pain in the ass as Zapados was last week!

From there we went over to Cinnabar Island to tackle the Pokemon Mansion to get the key needed to face Blane to get the Fire-badge. Oddly enough, there is a way to avoid battling his gym's trainers just by answering five trivia questions correctly, which is what we did by looking up the answers for the two questions I did not know! Between Eevee and Blastoise we were able to wipe out his entire squad of Fire Pokemon.

With now seven badges in hand, it was back to Viridian City to face Giovanni one last time to take the gym badge. We didn't have too much trouble, tackling Giovanni's trainers, but when facing him, he did managed to have one of my Pokemon, Victreebel, knocked out, but we just went to Eevee to seal the win and to get the Earth badge, making for a total of 8


So with this all done, next Saturday's stream will be focused on the journey to get to the Indigo Plateau to face the Elite Four... and that journey means we'll probably come across Moltres, the last of the three legendary bird Pokemon. If all goes right we should be able to finish Pokemon Let's Go Eevee next week!

Now here's the list of clips from last night' stream

After the stream we raided Kalenal (twitch.tv/kalenal) who was playing Final Fantasy XIV!, Kal does stream regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays! 

It's Sunday which means we have a new highlight reel, and I've changed the format to use 30 second clips. Anyway this past week we played Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise, Overwatch, Chrono Cross, Ehrgeiz, Rampage: World Tour, Rival Schools: United By Fate, Star Trek Online, Life is Strange, South Park, South Park Chef's Luv Shack, South Park Rally, Vs & Pokemon Let's Go Eevee!  

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 31 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 519 kcal. The exercises for today were Triple Combo #2, Intermediate Combo #1 and the Biceps Shape Focus Combo. We're going to be sticking with Lin as the trainer as we now focused on earning the Lin's Champion achievement which is to train with Lin for over 50 hours. Currently we're at 44 out of 50 for that.

With all the organizing I've been doing of stuff lately, I thought I lost the journal I was using for when I was playing the Zero Escape trilogy... turns out it was sitting on a digital clock...

For tonight's stream we're playing Overwatch as we do every Sunday! There will be Mayhem matches in the first hour and then the focus will be on Quick Play matches. Also the Pirate Bastion skin is rather neat. We'll get started around 7 PM Eastern!

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