Xfinity came out, swapped the modem, internet goes down in the middle of stream

 Good afternoon everyone,

So in the follow up to last Saturday's fiasco, Xfinity came out, checked everything... replaced the external splitter and some fittings on the coaxial cable and swapped the X8 modem I had with a new one... then at 1027 PM the modem did a full on reset out of the blue similar to what I saw happened back during the troublesome issues of July through September. Now I'll just hope that was just an instance of the modem getting an update.

The stream itself was a bounce around kind of night, we opened up with MultiVersus and managed to snag the achievement for playing 100 matches in a party, which was nice. I did happened to get stuck with people who clearly weren't in the mood to be playing with them doing less than 100 damage dealt. Why play a fighting game if you're not going to play?

We also checked out Divine Knockout, which is a 3 vs 3 platform brawler from the people who made Smite. I certainly got a good feel for it early, playing as Sol in a couple of matches. It's in its Alpha stage of development, but from what I saw, it seems like it'll be a fun game to play every now and then.

We also played Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, and the macro key using PC players certainly was on full display when it came to cool downs and just keeping four people cornered for extended periods of time. Did get a few solid captures.

Space Invaders: Infinity Gene was next on the hit parade, and it was during this portion of the stream when things went down as detailed at the beginning of today's blog. We made a couple attempts of getting 10 Million Points, getting to 8.5 Million. Would've been cool to accomplish that.

And lastly we played two matches in Smite, losing both, but it was in the second match where I had to report another player for AKFing. One they complained about the team selection and then left the match when we were winning, proving him. We only lost at the final moment because my team got greedy trying to push 4 vs 5 when all we had to do was defend.
