The Plot For Jump Force Thickens

 Good morning everyone,

You know that feeling when you would expect to be told something but don't learn about it until about maybe an hour before hand? Yeah that basically my day yesterday!


Anyway, last night's stream of Jump Force saw an exclusive focus on the main story... outside of having to basically re-sync up my microphone and capture card's audio all on stream. On top of that my camera kept detecting things as being mostly 'blue' for whatever reason which threw off the settings for the green screen.

Still, I did finished Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of Jump Force, where more characters are found and the realization that the villains of some of these Anime and Manga are going to be reoccurring battles became intriguing. Apparently there are two versions (I think) of a book Kane is using to cause trouble in the worlds, so I'm kind of interested to see where the plot goes.

Near as I can tell Red Exclamation Marks mean 'Key Quests' related to the main story and blue ones are side stories and missions, that probably add a lot of replay value to the game, and probably would keep me invested in playing it to complete all of them,


On the plus side: I did find the attire to have Nautea look even more like Android 18!

Big thanks to evilmher for the big raid during the stream! They were playing Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master over at twitch.tv/evilmher!

Also thank you to XSlevenKelevraX and Redman780 for following the channel during last night's stream!  

Following the stream we sent the fun over to sw33ts_gaming who was playing Paladins over at twitch.tv/sw33ts_gaming!

Decided to pre-order Pokemon Shining Pearl... why that one instead of Brilliant Diamond? Well most folks I know went with Diamond, so Shining Pearl seemed like the alternative pick!  

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures saw the Main Story Quest being put on hold to focus on the Feature Quests... aka the Plus Sign quests, so this was basically going around finding dungeons and stuff to unlock to do and so forth. The biggest one was actually a story that kicks off the huge 24-person raids for the Stormblood content, which was confusing but fun. I might save a few of these to do on stream, but I think I skipped some from A Realm Reborn that could make for a fun Saturday night stream this week.

It's completely obvious that people who said 2016's Ghostbusters which was a completely train wreck are going to hate Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Take Brian Truitt of USA Today, who not only said the 2016 film was pretty good (which it wasn't) but went out of his way to rip Afterlife for it's nostalgia aspect... when the 2016 did nothing but completely do a re-tread of the 1984 film in every fucking way possible!

So the whole situation over at Activision Blizzard certainly raises questions about me and Overwatch on Sundays... and I'm still going to play Overwatch, it's just more of a explaining why. And in my case it's more of, I bought the game, I enjoy the game a lot, and at times Overwatch on Sundays ends up being the best stream statistically speaking for the week. The fact remains that there needs to be changes made over at Activision Blizzard regarding its leadership, and I hope the pressure from the three major gaming giants (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo) put enough pressure on to force it.


Didn't realize that yesterday was the 500th day in a row I worked out using the Fitness Boxing games... milestones are awesome. Anyway today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Defensive Combo #2, Defensive Combo #1 and Double Combo  #1 for a duration of 28 minutes resulting in an estimated calorie burn of 438 kcal.

For tonight's stream I wanted to feature something on the PlayStation 3... but most of my PS3 Library are games I want do feature on the more 'prime slots' of the week (Mondays/Tuesday), so it would unfair to start something at this point So instead we're gonna use the Nintendo Switch, and we'll lead off with Mario Golf: Super Rush and then see where the night goes! We might even switch consoles mid-stream!

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...
