Today's Notes 3/31/21

 Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of Dragon Age Inquisition saw a big focus on side-questing with a trip to a dungeon to find some runes and parts to deal with Higher being of some sort, taking down a 5th dragon, wrapping up stuff in the Exalted Plains and finally some actually story progression with entering the Fade and seeing what really happened with the Inquisitor and The Divine in the game's intro. We also locked in the relationship with Sera, unless there is something else that will happened to throw a monkey wrench into those works. 

This week's Extreme Ghostbusters episode Home Is Where The Horror Is shares a few similarities with the Real Ghostbusters episode Mrs Rogers Neighborhood, in that the house which is haunted is actually a trap, the creature the old lady in both episodes transforms into have some similar traits and the house ends up destroyed. That said this does have one of my favorite lines 'Are you Batman? No I'm His Cousin, Ghostbuster Man!'. There are also a number of pop culture references through out the episode such as Monty Hall, The Twilight Zone, etc.

Put my pre-order in for Mass Effect Legendary Edition for the Xbox, and that will probably be the first Xbox Series Generation game we end up streaming on Twitch in May... unless I choose to play Forza Horizon 4 on stream one night before then. I do wonder what will be the first game that will be Xbox Series console era game that will not have a previous generation release. 

Speaking of Forza Horizon 4, here's hoping what I read about when the in-game seasons change is true in that they reset every Thursday, because getting around in the Winter in the game is a pain in the rear when it comes to finding barns and going off road.

Today Fitness Boxing 2 session was kept short because work up a tad bit late, so we cut the stretching out and went straight into a brisk 20+ minute session to keep the streak going. Didn't have a single miss today, had a few punches not quite in sync but they 'connected' enough to get credit for them.

Tonight's stream will yet another Wednesday night of ESPN Baseball on the PlayStation 2, as well be facing the Montreal Expose and Baltimore Orioles. The Expos series is a four game set, so chances we'll be lucky to get two games in against Baltimore.

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