Today's Notes 8/5/21: Smited Division

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream was pretty interesting, as for the first time in a very long time... I played Smite. I stuck with the Arena game mode, and it took me awhile to remember how to do things, like upgrade the gods powers and so forth, but once I got back into it was like I haven't stopped playing it. Of course went and used Athena and Artemis in all the matches played, and it didn't click with me to actually write down the results of the matches, but I think I know I was on the winning side a few times and lost a few times. 

Using Athena was a good call for me I think because one of her abilities forces the players on the other team to look towards me and another of her abilities brings down a semi-circle of shields to collapse on them. Surprisingly some people on the teams I was on were able to realize I had a semi-idea of what I was doing. With Artemis... well not so much the same luck as aiming with the analog sticks is pretty tough when it comes to lining stuff up. I use to put down 30K+ damage with her when I played Smite on PC, but on console I barely cracked 25K damage.

Amazingly I was able to knock out one achievement when it came to Smite last night with Artemis.

1.   Double Tap: Get 10 double kills in qualifying matches.

So about 9 PM Eastern I took a break to switch over to The Division, and as always big thanks to Iceman for all his help as we were on the achievement hunt as we look to knock out as much as possible with that game before retiring it from the rotation.There was some real hilarious moments regarding the enemy A.I. and how the game is programmed to relay dialog in relation to enemies being defeated. Anyway, here's the list of achievements knocked out for The Division last night.

1. Know No Fear: Finish all of the missions at Level 30 on the Hard difficulty.
2. Hardened Combatant: Complete a mission in Challenge mode.
3. Begin with a BANG: Access the Tactical Operations Center.
   

Of course we do have a list of clips for you to check out from mast night.

Yesterday, during the start of the stream, a package through UPS arrived with a factory sealed copy of Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. Now here's the funny thing about that, when it happened, the first match for Smite was loading, so I had more than enough time to sprint up the stairs to the front door to grab it. Now I remember Smite matches loading quick, so I was surprised that I had the time to do that. For collectors purposes, and much like Mass Effect Andromeda, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, this game will remained sealed. I just wanted to have the complete set

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily worked out lasted 31 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 549 kcal. I set a new personal best by getting a completely perfect score on Advanced Combo #2, that particular part of the workout took 11 minutes 30 seconds and is where we had an estimated calorie burn of 215 kcal. No extra sets were done today. We are now up to 63 out of 100 for the Karen's Best Friend achievement.

For tonight's stream we'll start with Star Trek Online and knocked out the endeavor quests, and work in something else to pair with it, not sure what yet. But I do knock we're gonna end the stream shortly after 10 PM eastern, because my good friend FN_Dante_Savage (twitch.tv/fndantesavage) will be doing a live music stream! So I do want to show my support for that!

And on that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
