The Fantasy Is Not Final Even Beyond The Clouds

Good morning everybody,

Post Tooth Extraction Update, where the tooth once was feel okay, slight stinging sensation, but my attention now turns to a slight gum issue I had prior... since at the moment I cannot use the oral rinse I was prescribed to use back in September, and using regular mouth wash is out of the question as well, it makes things a little interesting.


Still last night's stream featured Final Fantasy XIV because on Monday we'll get back to featuring a large major game several days a week instead of a bunch of little ones like we've been doing for the past month and half.

So the the majoring of the focus was on everything in Dravania , so the level 52 to 53 quests, which involved realizing the dragons are at wall with someone and that has stirred up their blood lust and why they are attacking Ishgard. Iceheart is with us as an in game story companion, and she actually does something but fighting as Shiva against Ravana.... she looses, but it was nice to see an in-game story character fight a primal for a few moments. Also discovered that Ravana also has a knock off the ledge mechanic which I absolutely 'loved' (heavy sarcasm folks)... the following dungeon which lead to the next major area of the game was pretty fun, even if I didn't understand the reasoning behind some of the mechanics in the boss fights.

As far as open areas to explore, Dravania is a real cluster, with a lot of awkward angles needed to find ways up and around, and this was really exposed when I dedicated time to doing side quests in the area. I don't understand why somethings were placed so awkward with no real obvious way to get them unless you just happen to stumble across something out of place.... and if it was meant to show how handy flying is, then locking out the ability to fly with your mount after you earned it is even more questionable I feel as if I'm gonna have to take a night to just use a wiki to find all the loose Aether Currents in each area and do whatever quests are associated with them just to get hem out of the way.


Anyway, I obviously continued doing some Final Fantasy XIV stuff off-stream, and went tracking down said Aether Currents in the first two open areas of the Heavansward expansion, then got back to work on the Bard quests, which involved fighting along side a Moogle Bard in an epic battle against a Banshee... which I kind of wished was apart of last night's stream... but that's the trouble of playing an MMORPG with my tendency of looking for a variety of content to feature, a lot of stuff isn't going to be seen during a stream.

Following the stream we sent the fnn over to SmoresDaFloof was playing Growbot over on twitch.tv/SmoresDaFloof!

What the hell.... off the ledge I go!

Managed to track down a copy of Sudden Impact starring Clint Eastwood, now you would think this would be an easy movie to track down, however there was a specific version I wanted and that was the 2001 DVD which was apart of the 'Clint Eastwood Collection'. Why did I want that version? Well it's because I have the rest of the Dirty Harry films from that same collection, and I wanted to complete the set.


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout lasted 28 minutes with the following exercises Beginner Combo #1, Hook Combo #2 and Front-Back Step Combo for an estimated calorie burn of 420 kcal.

For tonight's stream, we're gonna take a special look at Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds for the PlayStation 2... not really to beat it or anything, because I remember the gaming being really bad, this will be more of like a one-off 'Halloween' weekend special.

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