Street Fighters, Judgment and a Fitness Boxing 2 Patch Update?

Good morning everybody,

Don't you just love it when you're first told there isn't work, then get a call asking if you can work, but when you're trying to start work the system doesn't work, and thus you lose time that you could spend working? Yeah that was my day yesterday!

Anyway, last night's stream lead off with Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact: Giant Attack, and we had three successful arcade runs that involved multiple continues being used... as we cleared it with Ryu, Ibuki and Ken. In comparison to Street Fighter III: New Generation, 2nd Impact is much harder because of the A.I. input reading, so combos and that should be landing are blocked out right. That said, I did have fun with it, even if my own endurance for going up against an A.I. in a fighting game was starting to deplete to where I was going just destroyed by Hugo.

Speaking of which, Hugo, along with Akuma and Urien are added to the roster, while Yun and Yang are separated, so they aren't sharing the same character slot. Something is real obvious with Urien who is Gill's brother... and that's the fact they share quite a few of the same animations/ So I kind of suspect, Capcom wanted to make Gill playable but not want to nerf him, so they created a new character instead.

Half way through the stream Iceman joined in as we continued Gears of War: Judgement, knocking out Acts V and VI of the main campaign, which was quite entertaining in terms of the hordes of enemies we had to deal with along with the numerous ways we got killed. Managed to get Iceman a collectable he was missing late in the game which was pretty cool. The final end boss for GoW:J is rather.. underwhelming in terms of its design, but it certain packs a mean punch.

The more arcade like nature of GoW:J really shines through more in the final two acts of the campaign, as every possible enemy is on your tail, and there is a real possibility of running out of ammo, but at the same time it is a lot of fun.

Now I"m not counting Gears of War: Judgement as being finished yet because we still have the Aftermath mission to do, which we'll cover as part of next Wednesday's stream. So one more round of fun with us as Baird and Cole, then of course Gears of War 4 will be on the agenda!

I didn't make much headway Final Fantasy XIV's Main Story Quest last night, but I did turned my attention to some of the side quests that required doing certain Primal battles (The Diabolical Bismark and Thok Around The Clock), plus a dungeon involing saving Tonberries (Not Easy Being Green). I'm glad I picked up the boost to 70 once I was level 69, as the gear that comes with it certainly has me hanging in fights a lot longer than I normally would have. Also my clueless nature certainly showed  when I was doing The Minstrel's Ballad: Thordan's Reign... as it gave me fits in trying to figure out the pattern of the attacks that were incoming.

Added Requiem From The Darkness: Eternal Rest (aka volume 4 of the set) to my anime DVD collection, and I now have all four volumes of the series. 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout had Block Combo, Waist Shape Focus Combo and Hook Combo #1 as the exercises for a duration of 31 minutes and an estimated calorie burn of 472 kcal

Fitness Boxing 2 also released a new patch update, it is now version 1.1.0.and here are thew updates

• New Instructor
  
  1. A brand-new instructor, Guy, has been added
• Voice Languages for Instructors
  
  1. Guy and Janice now have Korean voice options
  2. You can now set individual voice languages for each instructor by going to the Change Instructor in the Instructor section of the Lounge
  3. Voice Language has now been removed as an option from the Instructor section of the Settings Menu

Guy's personality makes him sound like a jerk... so I'm in no rush to use him as a trainer, as no achievements are associated with him, but is inclusion does balance the number of trainers out a bit more between male and female.. As far as the Voice Language setting changes go, it doesn't really effect me since I do everything in English, but for those who want to mix and match different languages for different trainers.

For tonight's stream we'll be hooking up the PlayStation 4 to continue unlocking stuff in Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions! Hopefully the characters I'll be using are easy to figure out quick combos and patterns.

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