We Took Our Lumps But Had Fun


Good afternoon everybody,

Last night's Overwatch stream was a lot of fun, and big thanks to PandaSweet for joining on on the madness. We certainly took more losses than usual, but I did end up having 6 plays of the game, 1 as Tracer, 2 as Dva and 3 as Moira. All of this week's matches were Quick Play matches, so it was nice to deliver on big plays

Off-stream, with 3 days left in the current competitive season (#30) for Overwatch, I did the five qualifying matches for a tank on the role queue category. I did have 1 Play of the Game. After the 5 matches where done I placed at Silver 1617. The last time I played ranked matches was Season 26 which was back at the start of the year, and I only did a handful of matches thin, where I placed at Silver 1567, so I had better luck this go round.Maybe I'll start doing more ranked stuff and document them in my daily blog. Anyway  Here are the results

Overwatch Ranked Matches (Role: Tank)

  1. Havana: D.va - Loss - 0-1 13:31
  2. Hollywood: D.va - Win - 2-1  - 14:02
  3. Dorado: D.va - Loss - 1-2 - 10:30
  4. Hollywood: D.va / Orissa / Reinhardt - 5-4 24:39
  5. Blizzard Word: D.va - Win 1-0 7:28

So Paige of the WWE said she is going to try and make a comeback... well considering how long it took the likes of Edge to make a comeback, it's possible, so maybe she'll be able to do it. But the road to getting cleared by WWE doctors is going to be a long one, and I wonder if that process will frustrate Paige to the point she'd leave the company and go somewhere with less incentive to do the right things medically for their talent (AEW). 

If there ever was a network that should be exposed for being a collective bunch of idiots, it's ESPN who deserve every bit of bad press they are getting for the debacle they allowed to be on their networks this weekend. Bishop Sycamore, which is an online charter school that just happens to have a barely year old football program, somehow worked their way into being the ass kicked victims of IMG Academy, which has a football program that has produced well over two dozen NFL players in its history. Apparently, EPSN couldn't be bothered to do a back ground check on Bishop Sycamore in their quest of chasing the all mighty attention of the NFL.

Considering the issue of running Road Rash 3D on Friday via the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, I might go look into a back up for one of those systems, probably the PS2 since I could grab for a modified one to justify adding games that are region locked from that era to the collection.

Some may wonder why don't I just play these games via an emulator, it's because I'm not a fan of emulating games, things don't quite feel right, either with how a game looks and saving games can be problematic. If there was a PS1 or PS2 emulator that out there that didn't have those issues I certainly never found it.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout lasted 31 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 470 kcal. The exercises for today were Hook Combo #1, Waist Shape Focus Combo and Block Combo. For whatever reason the left joy con kept having to re-sync, resulting in 8 misses, 7 of which were during the Block Combo resulting in a Fitness Age score of 25... and I can't remember the last time I had that many misses during a session! So I took out my frustration and did a little extra, so the complete session was 37 minutes with an estimate calorie burn of 540 kcal.

For tonight's stream we will be resuming Chrono Cross and I believe we will try and get the Level 7 Tech Skills for several characters to start with, just to make sure we're not missing big moves or combinations. Once that's done we're off to the Sea of Eden to continue the story!

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


 

Persona 4 Golden and other notes
