So I Binged Watched Star Trek Prodigy

 Hi everyone,

Tonight's stream of Overwatch was a lot of fun as always thanks to PandaSweet being apart of the insanity, along with Odeu! We won a fair bit more than we lost overall, but there were a couple of matches where out teammates let us down. Didn't get any achievements, but picked up four plays of the game (2 as Reinhardt, 1 as Ashe and 1 as Junker Queen). Funny thing is I felt I had betters plays in those matches than what was considered to be the best moment of the match. Other characters used were D.va, Moira, Ana, Kiriko, Doomfist, Tracer, Mei, Orissa and a few others.

For the raid we dropped in on oldish22 during their stream of Final Fantasy XIV over at twitch.tv/oldish22

SO during the day, I binged watched all 20 episodes of Star Trek Prodigy, after nagging the entire season for $3 on Amazon Prime (it was on sale for $10 and I had a $7 digital credit), so I spent the late morning and afternoon watching it... and now having seen it, I can appreciate the references that were included in Star Trek Prodogiy: Supernova when I played that last year. While clearly aimed at a younger audience as an introduction to Star Trek, it really tells a nice over arching story, takes the time to give reasons to care about every character and actually wraps up rather neatly with it s final episode. 

Seeing how the series was cancelled after production of Season 2 was announced, I can see the series continuing in other media like comics, web shorts and the like, but if it doesn't, then one can simply see that the one season was to put the main characters where they belonged.

Have to wake up super early for a PSE&G tech to check out to the fridge, I haven't had any issues since Monday of last week, but better safe than sorry.

Our next stream is scheduled for 9:30 PM Eastern and we're going to dedicate the stream to Gundam Evolution, a game that launched in November of 2022... that is shutting down in November of 2023. Yeah you heard that right, so I want to get footage of the game to review it for my YouTube channel to see what went wrong with it.

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

Playing Gotham Knights As Only Batgirl Was Worth It

 Hi everyone,

So on back to back streams we finished up big open world super hero games, as we finished Gotham Knights and to my amazement, we knocked out 85% of the game's base achievements, which does leave me wondering if I should go the extra mile to get the remaining achievements, some of which involves searching all over Gotham for collectables, problem is that searching for them will involve referring to maps and stuff on a second screen.

Anyway, the build up to the reveal that Talia Al Guhl was using a Lazarus Pit to revive Bruce Wayne was pretty obvious to an extent, but it basically serves how far Bat Family has come since Batman's death to surpass him in a one on one fight. I do kind of feel the plot pacing falls apart once the raid on Kane Tower, since everything feels kind of rushed to an extent. 

Now since I did the entire play through as Batgirl, it meant we saw her character evolve from her doubts and concerns to being confident and declaring herself to the new Knight of Gotham. This really shows off in the end credits, where all the costumes I elected to have her wear was shown during key story moments. It actually makes the choice of sticking with one character matter in terms of the adventure from start to finish.

Not completely sure what the next major game is going to be on the Xbox side, but with two live service game scheduled for de-listing just to get the footage of them. We'll see what ends up happening.

Ordered some take out from Checkers... and they screwed up my drink order... again...

Since I played Star Trek Prodigy Supernova last year, I made sure to grab the entire first season digitally on Amazon. Would be nice to watch the series and actually understand the general relationship between the main cast. 

Finished the Mass Effect short story commission, and got the go ahead to do another one this time featuring EDI in the spotlight, which was something that was being built towards.

Out next stream is scheduled for 7 PM Eastern on Sunday night, with Overwatch 2! So on that note, we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
