I've Got My Monday Face On

Good afternoon everybody,

A new week begins, and it's a holiday week, so if you're heading out on the road to get places, please be safe!

Last night's stream of Overwatch certainly was the usual nonsense that occupies my Sunday nights. Big thanks to PandaSweet for joining in the fun! We certainly felt like those in roles we weren't playing left a lot to be desired.This is why we focus on playing damage roles in the later portion of the stream so at the very least we're not trying to carry matches! That said as I looked back through some clips, I don't think my aiming was exactly on point in some matches.

Did get three Plays of the Game as Moira, D.va and Torbjorn, so I had my share of exceptional moments.

Still, one thing everyone could see is that I can get really competitive, and I do try to keep that in check, and I did let it slip towards the end of the stream, It's why I mostly play Quick Play and not ranked, but cause that would be a show in and of itself! 

Big thanks to  redfoxukcov for using Twitch Prime to re-sub to the channel!

After the stream we sent the fun over to Flint_Locke who was up to voice acting silliness with Higurashi no Naku Koro ni over at twitch.tv/flint_locke!

I should knock out Unparalleled Stamper by Friday since that is four days from today

Picked up the Hivebusters DLC for Gears 5 (aka Gears of War 5) as LVstrikR pointed out it was on sale this week, and also snagged Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy as well. Heard it was way better than Marvel's Avengers which we played last year.On a side note: Microsoft's X-BOX website is not exactly working correctly either using Firebox or Microsoft Edge, as I had to use roundabout methods to pick up both items..


My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures saw a major focused on the the raids associated with the Omega quest line, and I have to say that Alpha the Chocobo is cool, little guy just doing his best . If there was a plush of him, I'd say I want one! Anyway, some of the raids associated with the Omega side story are a little weird and gimmicky heavy, like fighting a train for example!  There there was the fact that we have to fight Midgardsormr at his peak... needless to say that didn't thrill me. 

Of course the world servers for FF14 went screwy and I had to see the largest queue to date of 700... so I can imagine what it's going to be like when Endwalker comes out! When I was able to get back in I just focused on filling out some of the Hunting log.

I've been using Avast as my anti-virus software... and while I'm very satisfied with it, it can be a little too damn intrusive on when it gives notifications about what upgrades are available.

For tonight's stream, we are resuming Rise of the Tomb Raider, we are picking up somewhere at the start of the final third of the game, so with luck we might be able to finish it, if not we'll certainly finish it on Tuesday night!

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...
