Good afternoon everyone,
Last night's stream of Overwatch was interesting on a few levels, first big thanks to ChiefB33F and PandaSweet for being apart of matches through out the night... and second I did have four plays of the game, three as D.va and one as Torbjourn. Other characters used were Brigitte, Mei, Tracer and Reinhardt!
Now what was interesting is the number of folks choosing to play the 'toe in / toe out' method of being on the objective, which actually cost us several wins. Ya'll know me, 99% of the time I'm focused on the objective, but if I notice some nonsense happening I will pull back like no one can believe. I can handle losing hard fought matches when everyone is on the objective or payload... I will not tolerate losing because someone chooses to not engage the enemy or even attempt to get on the objective.
Of course I get told I'm too brave for my own good at times since I often play as D.va, but I rather be aggressive and go all out to try and win than pussyfoot around!
Also during last night's stream, found out Bob Saget passed away this weekend, that certainly was shocking. Like most people my age, practically grew up only knowing Saget in his role of Danny Tanner on Full House and his time hosting America's Funniest Home Videos. It really wasn't until the mid 2000s I became familiar with his stand-up routines and learned of his reputation as one of the filthiest comics of all time.
Anyway, for the raid following the stream, we sent the fun over to Helramma who was playing Apex Legends! They stream over at twitch.tv/helramma!

Continued my X-Box achievement streak via the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, pick up three achievements in it last night. The toughest one to get was 'Classic Speed Run', to get my best times in all three to equal to 10 minutes or less. My times were 1:57 for Klondike, 5:17 for Spider and 2:14 for FreeCell, for a total time of 9:28. Anyway these would be the last achievements in that game I would be able to get for a while, since nearly every one left requires daily challenges.
Microsoft Solitaire Collection (UWP) Achievements
- Get Out of Jail Free: Won 10 FreeCell games
- Classic Speed Run: Your fastest win times in Klondike, Spider, and FreeCell add up 10 minutes or less
- Become a Star: Completed an entire pack of challenges in the Star Club

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV progress saw me finally getting back to the Eden side quest line, and I got my first taste of Eden's Promise: Umbra. And while it was a successful first attempt, there were some aspects of that fight I didn't understand and the wiki certainly doesn't help. I also loved that more big battle music from Final Fantasy VIII was used for it! As far as the plot goes, Gaia being used by an Ascian to free itself from Eden is an interesting twist.
For tonight's stream, we shall return to Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise to continue that adventure, mostly because I was able to extend my X-Box achievement streak through other means as mentioned earlier.
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
