It was a community game night

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream lead off with Paladins, and it was your usual mix bag of wondering why random players choose not to do the basic things, like getting items to increase their chances of actually being of use. We were joined by PandaSweet and Beltizar for several matches of fun. I did end up playing the new character, Lilith, for a bit, and I think I understand her kit, her LT can either be used to heal a teammate or damage an enemy, while her LB can activate an AOE of healing for the team or damage for the enemy, depending on who standing in it. Also her special abilities drain her health, so a bit of a balancing act is needed when using her her.


Then we switched gears and played RiffTrax: The Game, it is your standard JackBox Party game but with short film clips where we can be the like of Mike, Crow T Robot and Tom Servo (as those involved with the original Mystery Science Theater 3000 are involved with RiffTrax). Apparently not all clips are from typical Public Domain source material as there were clips from Charade which starred Audrey Hepburn. Boy in the Bubble which featured John Travolta and Son of Hercules included... the last of which being a film that was riffed on in the original MST3K era! We had quite a few folks join in the RiffTrax fun so we may do more of it in the future!. 

On a side note, while I unlocked the first 18 achievements playing against other players, the remaining 12 I was able to knock out solo with the use of a web browser and my cell phone, making it another game for 100% completion.

For last night's raid we dropped in on Oldish22 who was playing Path of Exile over on twitch.tv/oldish22!

Considering the fun we had with RiffTrax: The Game last night, I'm strongly considering its predecessor 'What The Dub' for a future expansion on things to do with the community.

James Harden is being roasted all over the place for being a shell of his former self, and I have a feeling we won't see him a 76ers Uniform next season.


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout involved Uppercut Combo #1, Intermediate Combo #2 and Waist Shape Focus Combo.. We did do some extra exercises as well, since we are grinding for the final achievements... plus keeping myself at a nice and steady mid-240 lbs.

Got another request to do another commission request based around an old WWE story line. I  think I have some note still from a few things Kristi and I did that could put a nice twist on things. 

I am scratching my head trying to understand why the Padres picked up Robinson Cano... what does he bring to their team? It's not like he's going to regain his form from before he was busted for PEDs.

It's the start of a new week, so let's look back at things from last week which featured Overwatch, Chrono Cross, Smite, Star Trek Online, Fallout 76, Final Fantasy XIV, Persona 5 Royal, Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm and Exercise, Paladins & RiffTrax: The Game!


For tonight's stream we'll be kicking off the new week with Overwatch! So we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

More Fallout 76 Experiences

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Fallout 76 saw a lot of things being done as I went to find the item for Beckett's bar for my camp, as well as doubling back to get the canister needed for a quest... and I think I kind of understand the hacking gimmick in the game, finding the right password, but it randomizes every time so what may be the clues one time. Do wish the clues were a little more obvious to find in the surrounding area. We were joined by Iceman and we cleared out the Whites Springs Resort area of a couple of quests that we both had. Now we have to deal with a sword that we have to use to kill six different types of creatures... which seems like its going to be a pain in the ass! But I found a list of creatures that will contribute to it, so we should kind of have an easy time with... maybe?

On a side note I did learn that water slides can be built in game, and you can go down them... that was the most important thing that happened last night. Also, the issue with combat difficult last week seemed to be resolved, kind of, as I focused on using rifle weapons. That seemed to even things out a bit. I think. Also last night's stream was split in two, and I think the issue was on Twitch's end... so Xfinity escapes the blame... this time.

Fallout 76 Achievements

  • Appalachian HOA: Build 100 C.A.M.P. Items
  • Giant Slayer: Kill 5 Giant Creatures
  • Appalachian Trailblazer: Reach Level 25
  • Retro Now: Play a Holotape Game

For the raid we dropped in on FnDanteSavage who was playing Gears of War 3 over at twitch.tv/fndantesavage!  


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout involved Beginner Combo #1, Uppercut Combo #2 and Front-Back Step Combo. You can totally tell we took it easy with today's workout.

Knocked out another fan fic for a commission based around former WWE Superstars Evan Bourne and Alicia Fox, I set it in and old alternate universe continuity that Kristi and I did years back.

Speaking of WWE, some folks are saying Tammy Lynn Sytch, aka Sunny, should be removed from the Hall of Fame... listen... considering the shit Fabulous Moolah, Jimmy Snuka and various other inductees have done, Sunny isn't getting kicked out. 

Knocked out today's Friday the 13th Killer Puzzle daily death... and I just realized... tomorrow's Friday the 13th... I'm going to complete this game on Friday the 13th. That is awesome!

Up through yesterday, I managed to put together a nice little streak of consecutive days earning an Xbox achievement, currently standing at 13 days. This was thanks to figuring out a few gimmicks while playing Thor in Smite off stream following last night's stream.

SMITE Achievements

  • Dunkmaster!: As Thor, land on three or more enemy gods at once using ultimate.

Updated the AMD drivers for my graphics card to the latest release... wonder how long until I'll have to reinstall it, because heaven's knows AMD doesn't really do quality testing on new drivers to make sure they don't have any issues before release!

Apparently there is a game based on RiffTrax, which involves the guys who were first involved with Mystery Science  Theater 3000. From what I can tell it is a Jackbox Party type of game... maybe we'll give it a try?
