Well That Was A Night Of Overwatch

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch was interesting... everything felt a little off, in terms of people either trying to make stuff happened and then just bailing. More than once I just put myself in 'preservation' mode and just phoned in the last 30-40 seconds of a few matches because of the stupidity I was seeing. Here's a tip to Reinhardt players... if a Moira is on your team using her ultimate, don't walk backward... GO FORWARD WITH YOUR HAMMER SWINGING SINCE MORIA'S ULTIMATE WILL HEAL YOU!

That said, I did nab one Play of the Game as D.va in match where we were just on the back foot the entire time and I managed to get behind the other team to take out nearly everyone in the span of 30 seconds. Too bad the team I was on didn't do anything to ensure we kept the advantage. We also got in several mayhem matches, and I dedicated a lot of time playing as Sombra, someone who I normally don't play as because of how her 'teleport' gimmick does often lead to being out of position.

Now the question becomes, do I want to sign up for the Overwatch 2 PVP Beta... and the answer is not really because I'm more interested in the PVE aspect of Overwatch 2, that is what was promised and that is what I'm expecting.

We didn't do a raid last night, instead we just dropped a host for LadyPanicPants over at twitch.tv/ladypanicpants. They were playing Goose Goose Duck, which seemed to be an Among Us clone.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout featured Weaving Combo #1, Advanced Combo #1 and Intermediate Combo #2.

 

We've added Street Fighter EX2 Plus for the Playstation to the collection, this is the Japanese version of the game because the North American version is impossible to find. Also added a physical copy of WWE 2K18 for the Xbox One, I believe it's DLC is still obtainable so maybe we'll go after that... probably not any time soon.

The speculation that the Phillies will bring back Odubel Herrera is going over like a wet fart with the local fan base. He's a below average center fielder who is still upset that his own personal actions derailed what could have been an okay career. 

Knocked out two more achievements in the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, now off the games in the collection the one I can safely say I played before was P.O.W., in fact I can remember exactly where I first played it. It was at a laundrymat on Federal Street here in Camden, New Jersey. It used to be on a corner, but that was about 25+ years ago.

SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Achievements

  • No Escaping the Fun: Beat the Arcade version of P.O.W.
  • Pterodactylized: Beat Prehistoric Isle.

Saw that the WWE is putting Queen Sharmell into their Hall of Fame... and I have to wonder how many women told the WWE to fuck off when asked if they would be willing to go into the Hall of Fame this year before they settled on Sharmell, who lets face it checks off two boxes as it relates to the 'quota mark' in terms of representation. If you think I'm kidding about that, look at that the past decade of hall of fame ceremonies, and you'll see the pattern.

Found some really well done Super Mario / Ghostbuster animations over on YouTube yesterday,, you can check one out at this link: Super Mario Busters 3 - Extra Life.  I do have a question, if Sonic the Hedgehog is clearly Winston, does that make him the sex appeal? Yes that is a Ghostbusters Afterlife reference.

And speaking of Sonic the Hedgehog, the next game we're going to start up to mostly be seen on Mondays and Tuesdays is Sonic Generations. We'll be playing the Xbox 360 version of it tonight!

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