The End For Lee Means The Future For Clementine

 Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream saw us wrap up The Walking Dead Season 1 with episode 5 and episode 6 (aka 400 Days, which was a bonus episode used to hype up Season 2)


With Episode 5, it's all about finding Clementine, nothing else matters to Lee at that point because he was bitten at the end of episode 4. Big decisions made was Lee having his arm sawed off to slow the the infection, keeping things calm with Kenny and having Clementine kill Lee so that her last memory of him was not being a walker. It's easily one of the saddest moments in gaming history, and it really captures the fucked up world The Walking Dead takes place in. But the good news is, Clem was taught well by Lee, and she will go on to use those lessons to survive.

Episode 6... aka 400 days, tells 5 mini-stories featuring characters that could show up during Season 2... and I feel like I screwed up on who would could see.... I never could figure out the right way to get all 5 people in previous play through.... and the Definitive Series version does not allow for a replay for some strange reason.


When we'll start season 2 is something you may be wondering, and I'm thinking Monday Night with episode 1 & 2, 3 & 4 on Tuesday, and episode 5 to start Wednesday since Iceman and I are gonna do some stuff with Gears of War 3 that night as well.

We also debuted Final Fantasy XIV during this stream, mostly did some Main Story Quest things because that's all I had available, so it was mostly just running around in one area. Not all that thrilling. Maybe I should save side quests for on-stream? Anyway something I did discover off stream was the very clear fact that Kalenal (twitch.tv/kalenal) knew I would find getting around in Gridania a good starting point because the other two starting cities are practically mazes of trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B!


Following the stream we sent the fun over to Oldish22 who was also playing Final Fantasy XIV,  you can check him out over at twitch.tv/oldish22!

It's  been a few years since I had Netflix (last time I had it was around the time the OA premiered), but the demands of people to remove Dave Chappelle's latest stand up special is just idiotic on multiple fronts. And let me be clear, I am not a fan of his, I personally do not find Chappelle to be unfunny, but I do respect that he does what a stand up comedian is supposed to do and that is coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension. In short: he's a bullshit artist

With the end of the Daniel Craig era of James Bond.... we can hopefully get good songs for the movies themes, as we haven't heard a good theme tune for a Bond film since Die Another Day!

Grabbed the Xbox digital version of Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl which should make for interesting content. Also nabbed the digital version of Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 to serve as a back up for the physical release I grabbed last year. 

You know, I think I actually got in nearly all my work hours for the third week in a row... things are looking up!


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 28 minutes with the following exercises: Uppercut Combo #2, Body Hook Combo and Body Uppercut Combo! The estimated calorie burn was 429 kcal. There was one missed punch... a jab of all things. We also did an extra 17 minutes with an added estimated calorie burn of 227 kcal. The extra exercises were Straight Combo #2, Hook Combo #1, Hook Combo #2 and Uppercut Combo #1. You know what's funny, is that back on October 4th the estimated calorie burn for a session which featured only 3 difficult challenge combos was 651 kcal, which is about the same as the combined total for today of 657 kcal.

For tonight's stream... we're gonna try to play the original Metroid, using the Nintendo Switch's NES collection of games from Nintendo's history. Should be interesting... and I bet it has cheat codes!

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