Good afternoon everyone,
A new week begins, as I'm just a few days away from my birthday on Thursday...
Last night's stream of Overwatch was a lot of fun as always, I even had five Plays of the Game, four of which as D.va and one as Orissa. Big thanks as always to PandaSweet for joining in on the fun, as we finished on a stretch of five wins and five losses over the last ten matches.
In terms of who I used last night, D.va, Orissa, Wrecking Ball, Tracer, Ashe, Torbjorn, Brigitte and Moira, and most matches were spent in the Tank role more than anything else.
Of course, I figured out how to turn off the HUD in Overwatch, which means we'll have some better screenshots for the blog in some situation. I just have to remember to turn the HUD back on during a match, otherwise that would be bad for me.
With Overwatch being on sale because of the holiday, I was not surprised to see an influx of 'supposed' new players to the game... but of course, seeing some pull off stuff I've only seen people do who have played the games for hundreds of hours do just means that 'smurfs' will be a major pain in the ass to deal with for the next few weeks.

Watched 'Hang 'Em High' starring Clint Eastwood last night, such a good movie, that in fairness could've ended 20 minutes earlier than it did... if Eastwood wasn't playing the hero who was getting revenge.
Tackled more Horde mode stuff with Gears of War 4, I never want to play as a 'Heavy' type again, at least the 'Scout' was fun in terms of running around grabbing stuff.

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures continued with a couple of Main Story Quests done, as well as finding some more featured side quests that lead to dungeons... and what is apparently a series of raid similar to the Alexander raids I dealt with a while back, featuring Eden... that have Final Fantasy VIII battle music! Since that is my all time favorite game of the franchise, I had a big grin on my face. I have a feeling these Eden raids need to be done before starting Endwalker for things to make sense, so these will be my priority... just know the queue times are probably going to be long.
For tonight's stream, we shall be getting back to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, near as I can tell we're exactly half-way into it, so it will be interesting to see how far we get into the second half.
So on that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
