A Wild Night of Overwatch And Nearing The End Of Heavansward

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch was its usual mix of great moments and questionable choices made random teammates, and we probably lost more than we won, but it's all good. I'm not playing ranked matches after all. Big thanks to PandaSweet and ChiefBeef for joining in on several matches.

Now I'm no stranger to getting Plays of the Game, but I never had a night where I picked up seven (at least not that I can recall). So I'm just going to assume me execution and timing was really on point, as five of the Plays of the Game were as D.va, 1 was as Moira and the 1 was as Cassidy.

Speaking of Cassidy, it was announced that the next Overwatch event will be based around him starting on November 9. which is tomorrow. My guess it's a new skin for him because I doubt there would be a game mode featuring him as the lone playable character... like a shooting gallery. Nah that would be silly... and watch, some goof would see this and put it into Overwatch 2

Following the stream we raided Hawleigh who was playing Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance over at twitch.tv/hawleigh! Next time they are planning on streaming is on Tuesday!

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures took me till 4 AM in the morning as a lot of plot development happened, as I was wrong about how important the Warriors of Darkness would be going forward, as they served as basically a way to write off Minfilia permanently, though I suspect she has one more role to play considering the lead Warrior of  Darkness had a name.

Then there was the Papalymo and Yda rejoining the Scions... only for Papalymo to sacrifice himself to put a stop to The Griffin's plan to unleash a new primal on the land. The Griffin turned out to be Ilberd... who had the eyes of Nidhogg with him. Needless to say I don't think Papalymo's spell is going to prevent the primal from coming through.

But the thing is I know I'm towards the end of the Heavansward Post-Story content, and everything is being set in place for the next major story arc Stormblood, a fact really put in place by the arrival of a towering traveler dressed in Eastern styled clothing at Vesper Bay. Things certainly appear to be on course to get really nuts and I'm looking forward to it.

Iceman did a special stream of Dead Space yesterday over on twitch.tv/iceman7667!  Iceman of course will be joining us on Wednesday for Gears of War: Judgement to wrap that up with the Aftermath story which takes place during Gears of War 3

Got in touch with my long time friend and fan fic writing partner Kristi, glad to hear she is doing well!


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Defensive Combo 32, Defensive Combo #1 and Double Combo #1 for a duration of 28 minutes and an estimated calorie burn of 426 kcal

Here is the progress on all of the Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise EX achievements I'm currently working on.

  • 332/365 consecutive days for One Year's Hard Work
  • 18/30 hours for Karen's contender
  • 332/350 stamps for Unparalleled Stamper
  • 458,198/495,000 HITs for Monster Weight Puncher Lv. 5

Should knock out Unparalleled Stamper around the 26th of November, since that is 18 days from today, which means One Year's Hard Work would be around 11th of December.

For tonight's stream we will be playing Tomb Raider, with the plan on finishing it. I know I've got several long action set pieces to get through, but if all goes right we should be able to get it all done!

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

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We were joined by PandaSweet for many matches in Overwatch this evening, and I branched out a little playing as a wider variety of character...
