From Horizon To The Armax Arena

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Mass Effect 3 saw a lot of what I wanted to do accomplished and more. First order of business was taking care of the Horizon mission which reveals Ceberus was using refugees for their science experiments and also rescue Miranda and her sister from their father. The Flare ability learned after doing the Omega DLC certainly helped made dealing groups of enemies a cake walk.

Then it was back to the Citadel to start up the Citadel DLC, which of course is The Clone Saga, which reveals there was another Commander Shepard running around. I love this mini-arc, because it brings Wrex back, and thus I basically make sure he's in every squad for the Casino, the Archives and the raid on the Normandy. 

Now instead of focusing on the party, we put time in the Armax Arena which has its own set of mini-missions in the simulator, and we tackled them all, which actually got my kill count to 2700 out of 5000. I also did some 'difficulty' adjusting to make sure two achievements were also picked up (Simulated Hero and The One and Only), which means once we throw the Party I will have all the achievements associated with the Citadel DLC, which is something I didn't do on the PC version of Mass Effect 3.

So next time we play Mass Effect 3 will be on Monday, which will feature all the majority of the crew interactions along with the Party... and then the raid on the Cerberus Base along with the battle on Earth.

Internet service Xfinity did go down while I was working and was informed that the line technicians haven't found the cause of the problems yet, but I'm glad they are working on it.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Beginner Combo #1, Left-Right Step Combo and Hook Combo #2 for 28  minutes.

I am not a fan of the assignment I got saddle with at work... have I said that? Of course I have.. and all I can do it complain about it...

Last night, The state of Wyoming basically proved with their Election Primary that their state is filled with people who are a clear and present danger to normal society. Anyone who voted for someone supporting Trump is a piece of garbage. 

What did the Atlantic Ocean say to the Pacific Ocean? Nothing, it just waved.

What did the fish say when it swam into the wall? "Dam!"
