Today's Notes 7/23/21: Not Quite A Master Of The Teras Kasi...

 Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream feature four items of interest, starting with Star Trek Online, with the weekly endeavors quests being knocked out. One of the quests involved completing Binary Circuit, which is two teams of 5 racing across a series of puzzles / mazes to the end. Now one of the puzzles involves turning 4 sections of a tube to where one side has a straight blue line and the other side has a yellow line. There are indicators before the first section to give a huge clue, but I got stuck with clowns who kept trying to flip it every which way possible! If the hint is right in front of you TAKE THE HINT! 

Anyway, we have some clips of last night's STO action.

Next came the game that took up a larger amount of time than I thought it would, Star Wars: Masters of the Teras Kasi. It's a Tekken clone in every sense of the phrase, with some real cheesy AI, three-dimensional movement that only really makes sense to people who dedicated way to much time to it and some of the most deliberate input button pressing needed.  Now i set it on its easiest difficulty setting, and it was still a night mare to get through the arcade mode. Still we did it with Princess Leia... and the only reason to go back to it is to see if I could learn how to do some stuff with the various characters.

Of course, here are some clips

A few weeks ago Mezmerrizer recommended Wild 9 as a game I should pick up and we finally gave it a look tonight, made by Interplay, this is a puzzle side-scroller platformer that has a nice sound track, easy to understand controls and a charming element to it. We only went through the first level, as the first attempt only saw me getting 1/2 way through, but the 2nd attempt worked out rather nicely. This is a game I should mark down as something to dedicate longer streams to!

And here are the Wild 9 Clips!

Finally the night ended with Tekken 2, and like the original Tekken, it was my first time playing it. IT certainly feels a lot better to play the original, looks better, the soundtrack is pretty kick ass. However Kazuya is more cheap than Heihachi was in the original. It does have a practice mode and so I went into it to see if I could learn a few special moves... which I couldn't quite pull off against the AI! We were unsuccessful in clearing the arcade mode, but after Star Wars: Masters of the Teras Kasi, I wasn't in the mood to try and cheese the game.

Anyway here are a couple of clips!

Yesterday we added Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time For The PlayStation 2 to the collection, yet another highly regarding RPG to added to the list of things I think people will like seeing!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout lasted 28 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 440 kcal, and obviously because of the shorter length, I did some extra. So the total session ended up being 40 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 598 kcal. With every thing done today we're now up to 93 out of 100 for the Evan's Best Friend Achievement.

For tonight's stream we're looking to finish God of War, and we'll go straight forward, hopefully things will go our way to finishing up another epic journey this week!

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...
