Today's Notes 2/9/21

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix certainly covered a lot of ground, as we went through the first visits to Port Royal, Agrabah, Halloween Town and the Pride Lands while also touching on the first couple of side-quests for Atlantica and 100 Acre Wood. I said it before, but KH2 has such a superior game play experience to the original game it's not even funny, when one considers that the core mechanics of combat are the same. That said I am wishing I had the availability to dodge roll instead of hoping to parry attacks to turn some situations around, because part of how I got through the first game and even Re:Chain of Memories was rolling out of the way. On a side note: the placement of some of the puzzle pieces leaves a lot to be desired as there doesn't seem to be multiple ways to reach certain locations.

Tonight we'll be returning to The Division 2 and 9 PM EST for the next manhunt adventure with Iceman, PowerThumbz and I think also FnDanteSavage, but since I work in the afternoon from 12 PM to 5 PM EST, more than likely I'm going to lead off with something else before hand. Not sure exactly what yet, but we'll have a lot of fun that's for sure..

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was a little rough, although shorter than yesterday, I had some issues getting loose from the orthodox stance and missed quite a few things I was perfect with yesterday, namely with forward-backward steps. Still it's always a good way to start the day, and today was the 60th day of Fitness Boxing 2, so we got that going for us.

Turns out this years Super Bowl lost a lot of viewers in comparison to previous years, but lets face it, people have found other things to do, and the appeal of football was more than overdue to start seeing a decline in viewership... and some one is going to be of the theory that it's because of what the coaches look like, as if that really matters. The reason why sports lose viewers is because the quality of what is being presented is steadily declining. Gone are the days of big hits, big plays, grind it out grit that made football exciting... now it's so water down that it actually looks like a war re-enactment ceremony, where guys get mad for not following the script.

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



Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
