Unlocked The Mistletoe

Good afternoon everyone,

The final week of the 2021 is here, and that means we are going to start looking ahead to 2022, and getting next year's gaming tour off on the good foot.


But first let's talk about last night's stream of Overwatch, and I don't know what it was with a lot of the people I was playing with but I've never seen the high level of stupidity I witness last night. I  actually played with people who got off the payload right when it was reaching check points on Havanna as I was delaying the opposing team.I would blame it on 'new players', but everyone I was teamed with have had at least 100 hours of game time in. 

Anyway, I got in matches as D.va, Moira, Tracer and Mei, and did some switch offs to Anna and Brigitte in one match. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being apart of the fun in the final hour! we may have ended on a 3 and 5 stretch, but we had fun! Also unlocked all the Mistletoe Symmetra rewards as well, so there's another positive!

After the stream we sent the fun over to Helramma who was also playing Overwatch over at twitch.tv/helramma!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Weaving Combo #1, Intermediate Combo 32 and Advanced Combo #1 for a duration of 31 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 487 kcal. Here is the update on the my current goals in Fitness Boxing 2... aka, the EX Achievements.

  • 45/50 Hours Trained with Karen for Karen's Champion 
  • 381/400 Acquired Stamps for Honored Stamper
  • 520,115/540,000 total punch count of HITs for Immortal Weight Puncher
  • 84/100 Percent of EX Achievements Acquired for King EX Fighter

To keep my X-Box achievement streak going, I re-installed 1979 Revolution: Black Friday and was able to knock off a lot of achievements really quick. I know there are associated with two full game play sessions based on choices, I didn't think it applied to the collectables as these all popped on the first set of things I encounters for each category.

1979 Revolution: Black Friday Achievements

  1. Shekamu: The Foodie: Unlock all stories about Iranian food and drink.
  2. Jaasoos: The Spy: Unlock all stories relating to the secret police and secret operations.
  3. Taghooti: The Royalist: Unlock all stories relating to the Shah and the royal family.
  4. Enghelabi: The Revolutionary: Unlock all stories relating to revolutionaries or revolutionary activity.
  5. Ostad: Story Master: Unlock all stories in 1979 Revolution: Black Friday
  6. Akaas: The Photographer: Unlock all photo stories by taking every possible photo.
  7. Heepster: The Hipster: Unlock all pop culture related exploration points.
  8. Roshanfekr: The Intellectual: Unlock all political exploration points.
  9. Hajji: The Pilgrim: Unlock all stories relating to religion or clerical leaders
  10. Jam Konandeh: The Collector: Collect all the Khomeini tapes.

I did try to go for the facing Akuma achievement in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection... it didn't work out as I feel I must've done something wrong in regards to beating Sagat in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Still I managed to at least knock that game off the list... too bad it wasn't on stream. Oh well.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Achievements

  1. Go "Turbo": Beat Super Street Fighter II Turbo. 

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV progress was focused on wrapping up the 5.1 content, which starts to see some of the ground work for Endwalker fall into place as well as leaving the World of the First in a much better state than it was found it, by establishing leaders and taking care of various quests. The Akadaemia Anyder dungeon was a nice little adventure and fairly relaxing to go through when I put it in comparison to the Alliance Raids I saw for the first time over the last couple of days.

For tonight's stream we will be getting back to business with the big games, as we will be resuming Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise!

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...
