Good afternoon everyone,
It's Monday, and one could say it's 'new game' Monday considering what we'll be streaming tonight
Last night's stream of Overwatch was a lot of fun as it normally is, a big focus being on Quick Play matches with just one Mystery Heroes match tossed in for shits and giggles. Big thanks to PandaSweet for joining in the matches for the entire night, where we played all three roles of Tanks, Supports and Damage dealers. Of course, with the New Blood Challenge Event, a perk for getting 27 points via 1 point for each match played and 2 points for every match won meant I picked up the new skin for Cassidy,. Also had four plays of the game last night, one as Moira and three as D.va.
That said some of the randoms Panda and I got stuck with left a lot to be desired, and I still to this day do not understand some of the logic, or lack their off, people have when it comes to using D.va's bosters to get to different points on the map, or rather, NOT using them. D.va is one of the few characters that can fly a bit so it means she can get to certain areas and take advantage of things to help the team by either pulling the other team away from a choke point or taking care of turrets.
Following the stream we sent the fun over to Sw33ts_gaming who was playing Smite over on twitch.tv/sw33ts_gaming!

My off-stream progress of Final Fantasy XIV first saw me covering Main Story Quests from An Impossible Dream up through The Children of Azim which saw the first big dungeon in quite a while within the context of the Main Story Quest, and then meeting another set of people in Azim, which meant the wash rinse and repeat aspect of Stormblood came to the forefront once again of having to learn about, talk to and do quick tasks for the people of Azim who think they are destined to rule just because they live on the high ground.
Anyway, from there I continued the MSQ up to the start of How Tataru Got Her Groove Back, and it just dawns on me how much Final Fantasy XIV references other things for quests and such. The Naadam battle made no sense and I certainly wasn't prepared for the mechanic of taking out two not obvious targets to avoid an instant-fail. Look I get it that's a thing in various Trials, but in the single player scenario that's just not right man. Still got through it and the story is progressing to where we should be liberating Doma.
Also found a series of quests that apparently lead to a Beast Tribe being unlocked... but it turns out I need to raise up a non-combat skill to level 60... that will take forever... needless to say that's going to wait until after I'm caught up on all of the main story of Final Fantasy XIV
