We Learned How To Play DragonBall FighterZ

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream saw us start up Dragon Ball FighterZ and we spent a lot of time in the tutorial mode, learning the ins and outs of the game at a casual level, plus knocked out 200 of the combo challenges. There was a reason for that, as much like Persona 4 Arena and Under Night In-Birth and Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r], there were achievements associated with those game modes. 

We did tackle one of the arcade runs, the Snakeway one, and nearly pulled off the requirements for S rank on the first attempt, getting ranks of A, S and C which pulled the average down. Attempts made later on were not as I couldn't finished the third fight. Doesn't help that I was hitting RB and not RT to keep the pressure on the A.I.

Attempted a couple of online matches, won a match against someone who was AFK, and got my butt handed to be by a player who clearly created a second profile in order to beat up on newer players. That was 'wonderful' experience.

On a side note, I'm surprised at how many achievements are ranked 'diamond' (as in less than 10% of Xbox players who have played this game accomplishing the achievement)... so it was nice to get a couple like that.

Monday we'll start up the story mode, and see how long that takes us to do, it might take two streams based on everything I'm seeing.

For the raid we dropped in on Joliet4 who was doing a music stream following their weekend at Twitch Con. They do some occasional gaming as well over at twitch.tv/joliet4! 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Double Combo #2, Body Hook Combo and Weaving Combo #1 for 31 minutes.

Work yesterday was solid, no complaints other than the assignment I was on having a terrible order of questions to be asked which just destroys the pacing.

Also had the Phillies game on, TV was on mute, rather surprised they racked up 7 runs... I am no surprised that bullpen got exposed because Ranger Suarez had no command, and his houdini act saw him throw 87 pitches in less than 4  innings.

It's inappropriate to make a "dad joke" if you are not a dad. It's a faux pa.

What did Batman say to Robin before they got in the car? "Robin, get in the car."

Started writing the latest short story commission request based on the TV series Arrow, the intro turned out pretty solid since it's based around the introduction of Felicity Smoak, but safe to say I won't be able to come up with a solid teaser for any follow up based on how lame-duck episode 4 of season one was. 

For tonight's stream, we're back to the wasteland that is West Virginia in Fallout 76 as we'll be working our way though daily objectives and story stuff.

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