On The Road To Jotunheim

 Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of God of War certainly saw the Boy getting on my nerves with his ego growing real damn quick, thankfully Kratos eventually got firm with the kid. We basically covered chapters 11 to 13, which meant going back up to the top of the mountain, then escaping from Helheim and then dealing with the death traps in Tyr's temple to find the path to Jotunheim. I did come across the second of the three dragons and two Valkyries, only being able to defeat one because the 2nd was real defense heavy. Also managed to complete the quests to get the dwarf brothers back together, so there's that bit of positivity .

Of course this being a PlayStation 4 game meant we unlocked some achievements during out adventures, and here's the list of what we've done.

  1. Round 2: Rescue Atreus
  2. Past Haunts: Ride the ship out of Helheim
  3. Like Oil and Water: Complete all of Brok and Sindri’s Favors
  4. Trilingual: Learn the languages of Muspelheim and Niflheim

And of course we got a list of clips from last night to share as well.

Twitch Clip: Have a nice trip! See you next fall!

Twitch Clip: We're on a boat... every body take a look at the MFN boat...

Twitch Clip: Well that did not work

Twitch Clip: That is my solution!

Twitch Clip: Alright... neat

Overwatch started up it's summer games event which will be running for the next three weeks, and I've already unlocked all the loot box related items, probably Ashe and Symmetra have the best skins overall, and Soldiers 76 gets a great intro that has him working the grill and popping open a beer. Wrecking Ball's beach mode emote is a real winner as well. The new weekly skins for playing 27 matches each week for the next three weeks are okay, with only Pharah's being memorable because of the sunset color batter. But did we really need for Mei to get another new skin?

It seems like some game publishers and developers are looking to ditch the practice of DRM protection considering how often the software related to digital rights managing seems to have a tendency to get bricked. I'll be casually keeping and eye on this.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 31 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 488 kcal. We did do some extra today so the total sessions was 43 minutes with the estimated calorie burn of 672 kcal. With today's efforts, we're now up to 87 out of 100 for the Evan's Best Friend Achievement. I do realize that because of the unique way the in-game tickets for unlocking attires are rewarded the cycle of Karen's attires for when we switch to her next week will not be completely unlocked until after we knock out her best friend achievement and by proxy the King Fit Fighter achievement

Also allow me to gripe about work for a moment, if I didn't wake up early today I would not have been aware of the fact that everybody had work work today. This is the curse of where I work, in that they can and will jerk people around based on some very inconsistent factors.

Kind of have a fan fic idea based around some things of the original Space Jam film... we'll see if anything comes of that.

For tonight's stream we will lead off with Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, but we may not have a full session of Tom Clancy's The Division as Iceman informed me he'll be getting home late. So we'll mess around with whatever I have on the Xbox One tonight.

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