A Night of Raids In Final Fantasy XIV

Good afternoon everybody,

You know when you think something might be a good idea and it turns out to be better than you thought it would? That was kind of last night...


You see, for Saturday night's stream I focused mostly on doing Raids in Final Fantasy XIV. What Raids are are 8 (or 24) people either facing a monster (or series of monsters) in a timed trial that could take up to two hours to beat. Needless to say we got through several of them last night, including two huge Alliance Raids (these are the 24 person ones), which easily eats up a lot of time. Needless to say, since I was seeing a lot of these for the first time, I had no clue what I was doing, so I died... a lot. But I do feel I came to understand a few things on everything we've done.

That said, I did had to blacklist someone for the first time within Final Fantasy XIV... apparently, there are some people who think everyone should just know what to do at all times, but when I clearly stated it was my first time doing a particular run, he got so irritating that the entire party kicked him from it. Considering I've been playing FFXIV daily, that was actually my first out right purely negative experience with another player in game.

I do want to continue focus on the raids that I've discovered, particularly the Omega ones since they seem very similar to the Alexander ones I did on stream a few weeks ago, so expect me to talk about those over the next few days with any success or failures I happen to have.

Following the stream we sent the fun over to Spofie who often features Final Fantasy XIV over on twitch.tv/Spofie!

Not sure what caused the momentary dropped frames during the stream, everything I checked seemed okay. 


Yesterday was one of those weird days where I felt very very hungry... certainly cleared out a lot of left overs (lol). Now today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Body Hook Combo, Body Uppercut Combo and Uppercut Combo #2 for a duration of 28 minutes and an estimated calorie burn of 430 kcal... but considering how much I ate yesterday not sure if that balances out

It's Sunday, which means it's time for this weeks Twitch Bits. This week we played Overwatch, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Gears of War 4, Nickelodeon Kart Racers: Grand Prix, Jump Force, Mario Golf Super Rush, Soulcalibur V and Final Fantasy XIV!

For tonight's stream we're of course kicking off the new week with Overwatch! 

So 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...
