Good morning everyone,
So yesterday the big news of the final character in Super Smash Bros Ultimate was revealed, and I talk about that later in today's posts.
First up, last night's stream featured The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 3 & 4, where things really get screwed up thanks to Ben over the course of two episodes, and a number of folks get 'removed' from the party during what turned out to be a 5+ hour long stream because I couldn't remember everything that needed to be done right away.
First off, episode 3 is where Kenny looses Duck and Katjaa, thanks to a bandit raid that draws walkers to the Motel... and the reason why the bandits raid the motel is because Ben made a deal with them, and was stealing supplies. Once that was discovered, the bandits didn't their goodies and shit hit the fan pretty quick. Things escalated as tension between Lily and Carley boils over with Lily killing Carley, thus forcing Lee's hand to abandon her... and we don't see Lily until 'The Final Season' which takes place several years later.
Let's point out that Episode 3 is also where Ben's streak of stupid decision starts and really continues into Episode 4 when he puts Clementine in harms way, where he removes a hand-ax from a door that was holding back walkers and where he wanted to confess when said walkers were coming to chomp down on everyone. So letting him go was not exactly a tough choice. Yes having him around in episode 5 might make rescuing Clementine easier... but let's face it, like Duck, Ben was really annoying and served no purpose other than being a plot device to cause tension in the group.
Other big decisions of note: We left Clementine at the house, so she did not go to Crawford, and we had Lee show the Bite he suffered at the end. One could say this has been an Honest-Lee done play through! (HA!)
So the question becomes when will we play episode 5 and the bonus episode 400 Days? Well the answer is on Thursday, but for tonight's stream we're back to Gears of War 3. Iceman should be able to join us around 9 PM, so we have a good shot of finishing the game!
Following the stream, we sent the fun over to Joliet4 who was doing an music stream. Joliet4 is a talented musician and an awesome stream, and is the only partnered streamer I'd ever considered raiding.Also she recently entered a song writing contest at the last minute and was able to put together a song in a few days about a road trip on Mars! So be sure to check her streams out over at twitch.tv/joliet4!

So let's talk about the big reveal that Sora from Kingdom Hearts is the last character to be added to the roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now there are a bunch of idiots saying it should have been Fortnite getting the final slot, but let's be serious: 99% of people who play Fortnite have not actually played Fortnite's main story mode. I have and while it's good, because of the lack of community support for it, it's impossible to really progress far in it.
So with that said, Sora in Smash makes sense, since his abilities from the Kingdom Hearts franchise gives him a wide variety of moves, example his glide can be used as a recovery, he has a double jump to reach higher platforms, various magic spells to give him some rang. The only draw back is that he's going to be another 'sword fighter', which is something a lot of folks were complaining about considering the majority of the characters in Smash that represent the Fire Emblem series.
There are some that are saying that Sora's appearance in Smash will actually work to making the ending of Kingdom Hearts 3 make sense with how Sora goes missing (I haven't played KH3), and if that's the case it certainly fits when one figures in the various side games that have come out over the years. But what this doesn't do is connect Disney to Smash for the first time... you see Cloud and Sephiroth are Final Fantasy characters already in Smash, and they appeared in Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, so that connection was already formed.
The big question though is, how much did Nintendo have to shell out for Sora to keep the Mickey Mouse key-chain on the Keyblade? My guess is a lot.
Got an offer to do another commission fan fic, this time based around RWBY and the combination of Jaune, Pyrrah and Cardin. Started work on it last night with an alternate universe take on some details of Cardin finding out about how Jaune got into Beacon.
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout lasted 28 minutes with the following exercises: Defensive Combo #1, Defensive Combo #2 and Double Combo #1. Estimated calorie burn was 441 kcal. The one miss we had was a Left Uppercut during a combo sequence... damn it!. EX Achievement update, we're up to 299/300 for both Ten Months' Hard Work and Transcendent Stamper, which means we'll reach both milestones tomorrow! We're now up to 15/30 for Janice's Contender, so still a long ways to go with that
As noted earlier, tonight we return to Gears of War 3, probably will do some Horde mode stuff first before Iceman joins in to hopefully get through Act V to finish the game!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
