Good Morning everyone,
Couldn't fully get to sleep so I was up early, this is the result of me sleeping in yesterday till 2:30 PM in the afternoon... anyway last night's stream we did a one night play through of all three episodes of The Walking Dead: Michonne, which was released after The Walking Dead Season 2.
Now in case you can't tell by the title, The Walking Dead: Michonne is basically a side-story that has not connection to the adventures of Clementine that we see in seasons 1 & 2 and what we'll see in New Frontier & The Final Season. The reason is because this takes place within the context of The Walking Dead comics between issues #126 & #139, when the character of Michonne left her group, so it picks up with her on her own and willing to end it all because she has nothing left to live or fight for. She suffers from a form of PTSD because she doesn't know the fate of her kids from a failed marriage and that at times interferes with how she sees the world around her. It certainly makes for a unique experience, but at the same time, it does give off an impossible way to justify how one should have Michonne act.
Unlike with Lee, Clementine (and with Gabe in New Frontier), Michonne is a character that has a back story, so you don't want to have her be too much of an uncaring monster, but your don't want her to be open and jokey either, it's more about making her fit the role she had in the comics. Even if one has not read the comics, one can't shake the feeling that Michonne needs to be portrayed a certain way... and it's down to how the game is written.
And on top of that, the events of Michonne's adventures don't matter because we don't see Paige, Sam, Alex or James in New Frontier or the Final Season. Hell just about everyone is pretty expendable because even if you choose for Michonne to stay with her hallucination of her kids at the end, she'll end up living, so it's pretty meaningless in the long run.
Still with this done, we'll move on to The Walking Dead: New Frontier, with the plan doing episodes 1-3 on Monday and episode 4 & 5 on Tuesday.

It's Sunday which means we have this week's collection of my favorite moments of the week for you to check out over on YouTube. This week we featured Overwatch, Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise, The Walking Dead Season Two, Final Fantasy XIV, Gears of War 3, Star Trek Online, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, The Simpsons Game and The Walking Dead Michonne!
Did some Final Fantasy XIV stuff off stream last night as well, and not so much on the main story quest, as we cleared out the Level 31 to 40 stuff, and then found the Enterprise in the Mission In Pursuit of the Past, when someone asked where my Soul Crystral was. So I had no clue, and thus I asked Kalenal who told me about the job quests, and thus I knocked those out in fairly short order for the Archer and the Bard ones that are available, then learned I could not proceed any further until I complete the Main Story Quest Before The Dawn which is a long ways away. Still progress was made!
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily work out lasted 28 minutes with the following exercises: Double Combo #1, Defensive Combo #1 and Defensive Combo #2 for an estimated calorie burn of 448 kcal. We kept it light today, also this was a perfect work out, no misses or OKs.
For tonight's stream we'll be playing Overwatch and we'll do a mix of Quick Play matches and doing the Halloween Terror event stuff. So it'll be pretty chilled!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
