Geting Great Tune-Ups In Forza, Learning About The Lore In Gears

Good morning everyone,

Well yesterday was the first work day in a while as the usual nonsense of me seeing what I'm listed to be on only for it to be switched at the last second to something else. Still managed to have a productive first day back.

Last night's stream lead off with Forza Horizon 4 and making use of of a lot of Ultimate Spins to unlock many goodies and cars. Spent a lot of time just roaming around, doing speed traps, making epic jumps and other general nonsense. I did have one particular epic fail that I'm glad I was able to clip. Also one of my viewers let me know they do tune-ups for all the cars in the game, so I checked a few out. Was pretty awesome to see how set up a Datsun to push 175 MPH!

Half way through the stream, as has been the norm for Wednesdays, we switched over to Gears 5 and was joined by LvStrkR and Iceman as we wrapped up Act II, and did a fairly good job of finding  mostly everything. The lore regarding the creation of the Locust and how things relate to Kait really comes together, and the banter between Kait and Del is pretty awesome. 

There were some issues with some of the game's gimmicks that either cause havoc because of a lot of flashing (Iceman and LvStrkR both made notes of that), or mess with whoever is playing as Kait (which was me),That gimmick ties to whenever Kait has a vision which causes her to go rather loopy or just makes the screen all red

Still at this point we've roughly covered 50% of a lot of key objectives so now comes the question of what was missed in terms of collectable and components for Jack. Looking forward to seeing what Act III brings as we go from an Ice and Snow covered area to a desert.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Defensive Combo #2, Double Combo #1 and Defensive Combo #1 for 28 minutes with an estimated calorie burn of 434 kcal.

Messed around with Capcom Arcade Stadium after the stream last night... I'd like to 100% complete it... but the achievements are more focused on timed played and amount of time played. Still we got one done. Way I figure if I play it for a half hour a day we can gradually knock out various stuff... besides a half hour is about how long some of the bullet hell games in the collection take to get through with unlimited 'quarters'.

For whatever reason Blogger was not saving my drafts last night when I was putting down different notes... so I lost quite a bit of this post. Which may have been a FireFox problem as I had to do a full restart when it wouldn't load anything... and before anyone points this out to me in a DM Microsoft Edge was working fine

For tonight's stream we'll be featuring Final Fantasy XIV and starting on the 5.4 main story content!

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