We Rescued Jack, Javik and A Krogan

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition probably saw how slow paced it's gonna be when it comes to me finishing it, because of how I love to roam the Normandy and the Citadel between missions, not to mention having to go after all the things in space. There's a lot of ground to cover in that regard.

Still it wasn't totally pointless, as we knocked out three major missions, one was Grissom Academy, which is a 'timed event' mission, meaning the longer you put it off the more you risk losing a chance to play it, which means you lose Jack to Cerberus. So that was the major priority right off the bat. From there we went after Javik next which mean Shepard returned to Eden Prime for the first time since Mass Effect 1. Yes I know Javik and his mission was basically day one DLC when ME3 was originally released, and  yes he does add a lot to the game in terms of lore in some places... but I never really use Javik so he wasn't a priority. Then we closed out by finally going to get the Krogan Shaman and Mordin to get the ball rolling on curing the genophage. My Shepard may be a renegade, but my Shepard always does the right thing for their buddies.

Of course with the progress we made last night, that meant we got a few achievements to mark our success, I'll list them next:

1. Pyromaniac: ME3: Set 100 enemies on fire with powers
2. Liberator: ME3: Stop a Cerberus kidnapping
3. Hijacker: ME3: Hijack an Atlas mech
4. World Shaker: ME3: Destroy an Atlas dropped from orbit
   

The hijacker one was a main in the ass, actually lead to critical mission failure as I couldn't remember how to hijack the damn mech. Still we got it done and at the time, it was still a diamond achievement. So yay me!

And we got some clips from last night to share, and here's the list of some of my favorite moments

Twitch Clip: Jack Isn't Wrong

Twitch Clip: Was Thane Saying Something?

Twitch Clip: If they were human they would both be called mother

Twitch Clip: We caught him in mid-air... nice!

Twitch Clip: Critical Mission Failure: Oops!

Following the stream my internet service went down but this is why I have some console that aren't depending on access to the internet, so I loaded up Super Smash Bros Ultimate and actually did a little work in the adventure mode. At some point I'm going to finish that. Also ran through classic mode as Mr. Game & Watch... and yeah didn't do well on that as I couldn't really get a handle on how he moves... so my final 'difficulty level' was like a 3.4. Bleh.

Overwatch has a new event focused on Ashe, where if you play at least 27 matches you will unlock a new skin, spray and icon associated for that character. The designs are based around her early years as part of the Deadlock gang, so it's a bit of lore. As is the case with recent Overwatch events, wins count as 2 points, so if you happen to win 14 matches in a row you get all three rewards rather quickly. I knocked them all out yesterday afternoon, mostly playing as tank and support.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout session went 28 minutes with an estimated calorie burn for 448 kcal, it is amazing how most days it's 31 minutes but then there are the days it drops to 28 minutes. It really depends on what exercises end up being selected by the game. This was day 194 of Fitness Boxing 2, and day 352 since the start of the original Fitness Boxing. We're now up to 76 out of 100 for the Laura's Best Friend achievement. Again their is no rhyme or reason as to what qualifies a day awarding 2 points or 3 points for the daily workouts. But with 24 points left to go, that means if every day awards 3 points we'll have it knocked out in 8 days.

It's Wednesday which means we're back to The Division as we work our way closer to the end. Chances are well be joined by Iceman at some point, so we'll start with me roaming around New York, doing stuff before our focus turns to the missions we have to take care of.

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