Thank you to Raid: Shadow Legends for sponsoring last night's stream

Good afternoon everyone,

Let's begin by thanking the folks behind Raid: Shadow Legends for sponsoring last night's stream, as it was the first time I played the incredibly popular mobile game. I elected to take the approach of featuring my first experience with the game on stream, going through the full tutorial, seeing how champions are unlocked, leveling up, upgrading gear and going through the the firs two chapters of the campaign, tried out the classic arena mode and dungeons. All in all I was quite impressed with what I experienced, and I can see myself playing it on a casual basis. You can download Raid: Shadow Legends using my link and enjoy the special in-game loots! Raid is free on PC and Mobile. https://strms.net/raid_fredcasden Use my Promo Code: RondaSESP for more perks

Now before the Raid: Shadow Legends portion of the stream, we did open with Fall Guys, and won my 20th Show in a Squad (team of four), which was really cool, and I came fairly close to winning a few other shows as a solo (Namely in the Jump Show special format). There was quite a bit of hilarity.

We did a recap of sorts regarding the Nintendo Direct, nothing major announced caught my interest beyond DONTNOD releasing a new game later in the year.

Also found a way to properly store not just all the VHS tapes I'm going through, but my DVD collection as well. If I can find a place that would buy those tapes I certainly will have an easy type carrying them iin something that has proper handles

For the raid we dropped in on TokuSHOUTsu just as 'Ultraman Ginga S the Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors!' was starting! Got to watch that from the start over on twitch.tv/tokushoutsu

Fall Guys Achievements

• Golden Guy: Win 20 Episodes

Finished writing the Mass Effect short story commission I had started a few days ago, and got another request for another chapter, this time set after the Grissom Academy mission on Mass Effect 3

Spoke with the FnDanteSavage yesterday and got to learn a lot of history about the band he was in and how close they came to touring the east coast! It was really fascinating!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Straight Combo #1, Weaving Combo #2 and Double Combo #2.

The job interview I had yesterday was more of a webinar to 'sell me' on paying for a training course to potential work for them. As the old saying goes, if something sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.

"Where do you learn to make a banana split?" "Sundae school."

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

The Three Amigos In Saints Row, We're Being Sponsored By Raid: Shadow Legends!

Good morning everyone,

Considering the day prior, I really slept in yesterday, but a big highlight was talking to my Aunt Grace and Cousin Frances, as I wasn't sure what would be the best time to reach them. It was a real fun chat, and I'm so incredibly happy just to be able to chat with them. Also found two heart shape clocks that I think belong to Aunt Grace, but I'm not 100% sure. This did lead to a series of hilarious text messages regarding a photo of the clocks I sent to Frances, who thought something looked like Buddha. 

Got an invitation this morning to have my Twitch broadcasts being sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends, and well that certainly is giving me an excuse to try the game out on the PC side of things, since I don't play any mobile games In fact we'll do that during tonight's stream during the 2nd half. If you want, you can download Raid: Shadow Legends for free using my affiliate link: https://strms.net/raid_fredcasden on either PC or Mobile, and use PromoCode RondaSESP for more perks! https://strms.net/raid_fredcasdenhttps://strms.net/raid_fredcasden

Last night's stream of Saints Row was really focused on completing business ventures and finding all the remaining discoveries, so again there was no story progress. But at this point, only two more ventures need to be placed, then the grind for the skyscraper. After that there would be just the main story missions to do.

On a side note, The Planet Saints missions to obtain trucks was a pain, but I used the helicopter to do it... because I was not going to bother with the wing suit approach the game intended!

That said, I was quite surprised to see a little tribute to the Three Amigos in the game. Now going back to at least Saints Row The Third, the Amigo Salute was a selected emote / taunt, but to see basically a diorama of the Aimgos encountering the Singing Bush in this game caught be by surprise! I know for a fact I still have the VHS tape of the movie in my home, and I watched it a lot as a kid, so this put a smile on my face.

For the raid, we dropped in on PowerThumbz while he was playing Prey over at twitch.tv/powerthumbz. 

Saints Row Achievements

• Community Outreach: Completed 10 districts in Santo Ileso.

Made a good impact on the Mass Effect short story commission, it's relying on what I can think of regarding Diana Allers and her role in Mass Effect 3, but I think it's coming together nicely.

With the Overwatch 2 Season 3 update, I see they brought back being able to commentate players on the opposing team, because quite frankly as some have seen on stream, if I feel no one was worth of getting a commendation, then I'm not giving one. Not completely sold on a number of the changes on various characters, but the developers are always trying to make changes to break existing 'pro approved' teams.

Had a job 'interview' this morning, and it was more of the company trying to sell me on paying for a training course to work for them, and it raised more questions than answers.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Weaving Combo #1, Body Hook Combo and Beginner Combo #1

On tonight's stream, we'll be playing Fall Guys for sure, but Fallout 76 will not be on the agenda, as Iceman will not be able to join us this week.So for the second half of the stream, we'll be featuring Raid: Shadow Legends! 

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