Good morning everybody,
Last night's stream saw a lot done with Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition, in that we did everything that was pretty much Krogan related. First we went to do the mission where Grunt is leading a search party, and yes I made the joke about Shepard is Grunt's mother, since she (in this instance) raised him upon releasing him from the tank in Mass Effect 2 up through the events of the Suicide Mission against the Collectors. Beyond that, I loved how the remaster made the rachni queen look, it was fucking gorgeous!
After a few little searches for items and trip to the Citadel to turn in some side quests, it was off to Tuchanka, the Krogan Home World, where we did the missions there in the order of rescuing the Primarch's son, dealing with the Turian bomb and then finally curing the genophage. Now I go full renegade with a lot of Shepard's choices, but if there is one thing about the way I play Shepard is that she stands by the Krogan. Hell Shepard gets to know Wrex quite a bit in the original Mass Effect, even more so if you gets Wrex's armor.
That said, I can't really imagine anyone not choosing the genophage cure, there is such closure to the end of Mordin's character, the Krogan end up having a future and you make sure Wrex is there for the Citadel DLC stuff later in the game! That said we're about maybe 1/3 of the way through the game based on my current pace and not including the DLC stuff of Citadel, Omega and Leviathan, which I of course will play. If at some point I'm going to do an insanity play-through I will want everything maxed out.
Anyway, we did get a a few achievements last night which I'll list next:
- Tunnel Rat: ME3: Survive the swarm
- Giant Killer: ME3: Defeat a harvester
- Pathfinder: ME3: Explore a lost city
And of course here are a few links to some of my favorite clips from last night as well
Twitch Clip: Grunt reunites with his 'mama'
Twitch Clip: BURN BABY! BUURRRRN!!!
Twitch Clip: Waking up next to Aria is always a good thing
Twitch Clip: Running Running Run Run Running!
Twitch Clip: Mordin's Final Moments
Off-stream. Made a little progress within Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's adventure mode, by clearing out the second major area, which leaves just the part of the 'story' where you end up facing both the light and dark entities at the end Would be nice to dedicate stream time to this, but since I'm so start and stop with that mode in Smash, it makes it tough to stream.
Added Kingdom Hearts; Melody of Memory to the collection yesterday, going with the Nintendo Switch version, because.... it was cheaper than the PS4 version! That's a good reason!
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout went 31 minutes (minus time spent
for stretching) with an estimated calorie burn of 494 kcal. The reason
I've added stretching back in as of late is just to see how much has
changed with my body over the past several months, and while i can't
reach back to grab my ankles when doing a thigh stretch, I can easily
place my hands on my knees when rotating them to the left and right. We
are now up to 91 out of 100 for the Laura's Best Friend achievement.
Tonight we'll be continuing Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition, we'll tackle a side mission first then head off to do the Priority: Citadel mission which opens up Act II of the game. We'll get started around 6:30 PM Eastern assuming all goes well today!
And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
