Good afternoon everybody,Today marks the 5th anniversary from my first attempt at streaming way back in 2016, where I had no mic, no webcam and a real basic understanding of how things worked. It was about that same time when I started doing a lot of my content on my old YouTube channel before looking for a fresh start following my falling out with Dare to Stream last year and nuking everything. Still it's been a wild ride so far, and it's why, for my 5th anniversary of streaming on Twitch, we'll be bringing back one of out favorites, a game that did not see any screen time last year, Sam & Max: Hit the Road? Why this game, well I wanted to get the 2021 tour off of finishing games off on a good foot, and since Zero Escape 999 probably won't be finished until towards the end of the month based on the one night per week full story to different ending runs we are doing, we just started Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and my pacing with that will take a while too.
Speaking of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, we reached level 40 last night, but I saw some battles are a little more difficult than one would assume, as I actually needed two tries on a story mission and didn't quite have the power to get through 'training advancement' on first tries. That said, since my skill from the first game carried over, it was totally awesome to wreck Vegeta with his own moves not once, but twice in terms of the Capsule Corp time rift side story. I am really digging the inclusion of the movie villains, as they shake things up quite a bit, not to mention how certain elements of the story are being seen from a different perspective from the first game. Also fighting Cooler and Frieza at the same time certailly didn't leave me Frosty nor did it give me a King Cold level of Chill.
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was a solid routine, that saw me struggling with the the front back step movements, something about it is certainly tracking different than the first game, but then again I wasn't a huge fan of FBCs with the first game either. Beyond those troubles, everything else was solid, even though I really have to figure out what they mean by 'engage your core'... what ever that is suppose to mean is going over my head.
I have been kicking around ideas to get back into writing fan fiction, there have been some old stuff I've seen on YouTube recently that's given me a few ideas on how to twist things around, it's just a matter of finding out if anyone else has done what I'm thinking already or not. Believe me, if there is one thing I hate is seeing that I'm late to the party when it comes to writing something seeing someone do a concept first and perfect it. I have no problem with folks improving on my concepts, but to try and follow someone else who had the same idea that's tough to do.
And on that note, we'll see ya at about 9:30 PM EST for Sam & Max: Hit The Road over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
