Good morning everybody,
Last night's stream of Mass Effect 2 focused on three main objectives, Project Overlord, Recruiting Jack and Recruiting Grunt. Yes there was some searching for planets that had side missions involved plus a few trips to the citadel to get some items needed for achievements, but we have done every possible before we have to pick up Mordin.
Project Overlord in and of itself was a mostly smooth run, as controlling the Hammerhead is easier with a controller than with a mouse and keyboard when it comes to platform jumping over lava. It really does set the tone for how ruthless Cerberus is when it comes to gaining an edge over alien species. There was a great moment where I got the Overload Specialist achievement for the 360 version in nearly the same spot as I did the for Legendary Edition version of Mass Effect 2.
Recruiting Jack was very straight forward, and a firm reminder that combining biotics is something one has to do for achievement purposes in Mass Effect 2. It's too bad that Jacob and Miranda's early available biotics are not exactly a great combo set. I'm not 100% sure if Jacob and Jack's biotics work or if there is a range where they have to be executed in because I was going for the achievement when Recruiting Grunt and not one apparently counted. Talk about weird.

For the raid we dropped in on RoseMaryShorn who was playing Dragon Age: Inquisition over at twitch.tv/RoseMaryShorn! I really should go back and play the DLC of that game.
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Intermediate Combo #2, Advanced Combo #1 and Weaving Combo #1. During some Free Training, I set a new personal best for Difficult Challenge Combo #1 on No Mercy difficulty with 807 Perfectly performed actions with 5 actions performed only OK.
My copy of Persona 5 Strikers for the PlayStation 4 arrived late yesterday afternoon, so once we're eventually finished with Persona 5 Royal we can jump into that. Even though Strikers is more of sequel to the original story of Persona 5, it will be cool to have more fun with the franchise
Switch all my skins in Overwatch last night to use Overwatch League skins, even got a play of the game as D.va as well for a bonus one this week.
For tonight's stream we'll be continuing Mass Effect 2, with the first thing we're doing is picking up Mordin on Omega, and that should trigger the next phase of the game with Horizon.
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
