Today's Notes 6/1/21: Progress Made With Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition

Good morning everybody,

Hey it's a work day where I'm scheduled for work and I actually will have work, so that's good... depending on the assignment I'm on.

Last night's stream of Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition saw a big focus on getting members of the team together, namely Jack, Grunt and Mordin, while also going after any loose side missions. This also resulted in quite a few achievements being unlocked along the way which I'll list shortly. We also reached the first major story point of the game, which was Horizon, and since Kaiden was the love interest from the first game, it also makes it real easy to have FemShep put him behind her, particularly since in the next chunk of the game, we'll be tracking down Thane Krios who is the best love interest for FemShep.

1. The Convict: ME2: Successfully recruit the biotic Convict
2. Tactician: ME2: Hit 20 different targets with multiple biotic powers to combine the effects
3. The Krogan: ME2: Successfully recruit the krogan
4. The Professor: ME2: Successfully recruit the Professor
5. Scientist: ME2: Complete any research project in the Normandy's laboratory
6. Colony Defense:  ME2: Defend a human colony from attack

And of course we have some clips from last night

Also on a funny note, because I use different aspect ratios for PlayStation 2 games, I forgot to make the switch from 4:3 for footage captured through the Elgato HD60 to 16:9, resulting in the first half of my stream looking like I was playing on an box monitor. 

FedEx continues to be a pain in my ass, as during my workout I saw a delivery truck go past my basement window and when I checked my porch, no delivery was made. Contacting them resulting in me being hung up which forced me to go through their Customer Advocate team to get any information.

Speaking of which Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was only 28 minutes because I actually do have work today, so I needed to adjust my work out length. Didn't have any misses, but did have a few 'only okay' punches that still counted as hits. Today's exercises were the Sway Back Combo, Straight Combo #2 and Hook Combo #1. We are now up to 85 out of 100 for the Martina's Best Friend achievement.  

Tonight's stream will start at 6:30 PM EST as we'll be continuing Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition, I'm not too sure if I'm going to go ahead and do Arrival or not, because there is not an achievement associated with it and it's a pain in the ass mission to complete since Shepard won't have any back up. We'll see how I feel about that later on.

And on that note we'll see you over at twitch.tv/fredcasden this evening!
