Good morning everyone,
Last night's stream saw me deep diving into the Multiplayer content of Gears 5 that has nothing to do with the campaign, as we played Horde Frenzy, Escape and several other multiplayer modes and had a damn good time doing it. Perhaps the most fun was the second Horde Frenzy which was set to Advance Difficulty and how cheap some of the deaths were.
Now here's the funny thing we manage to knock out several achievements because of it, which shocked me because I certainty am not playing Gears 5's multiplayer mode off stream, so the fact we ranked up to the point of hitting Corporal and Sergeant during the stream says a lot to some degree. Sure we have the boosts from when I started messing with Gears 5 back in December, but c'mon they certainnly can't be helping that much.
We did use the Xavier Woods skin for the entire stream, and I figured out how to do the in-match emotes and phrases for the character I''m using, it involves holding down the right analog stick and pressing a direction button that an emote or phrase is assigned to.
The question becomes will we keep going back to Gears 5 every now and then just for the Multiplayer? Well, yeah, for me it now becomes like Forza Horizon 4, a game where we can go to to mess around with it and make progress. And since I have a good idea of how to make progress to move up the ranks to some degree,

It appears Capcom is looking to set the ground work of Tournament guidelines for Street Fighter VI to have some more control over how they want their games presented. It makes sense, but a lot of folks are upset about that.
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 31 minutes with Intermediate Combo #2, Advanced Combo #1 and Weaving Combo #1
Anyone blaming the owners for the lost start of the 2022 Major League Baseball season clearly doesn't realize that the demands of the players makes no sense in either the short term or the long term. Because guess what, only a handful of players will still make 'mega money' in the hundreds of millions because of snake oil salesmen like Scott Boras, who controls the leadership of the players union!
Messed around some with Forza Horizon 4 to try and find the final missing roads I need... but man that is a challenge. Did managed to accomplish a couple of achievements last night that extend my streak through today.
Forza Horizon 4 Achievements
- Antique Restorer: Find and restore 15 Barn Finds.
- Time for an Adventure!: Play your first unranked Free-for-All Adventure.
I am laughing my ass off over Kim Kardashian being declared single and
how that must really strike a blow to the ego of Kanye West. Hey if that
drama is always on my news feed for whatever reason deemed by the
algorithms then you better believe I'm all for anything to causes the
most over-rated entertainer of all time. And lets be honest, he hasn't
had a true hit song in over a decade with Power.
For tonight's stream we're going to play Final Fantasy XIV, and the focus will first be on the Pandemonium raids, so yes we will be doing all four raids. And depending on how long that takes we'll also do some more Blue Mage and Fishing grinding as well!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
