Good morning everyone,
Last night's stream lead off with Forza Horizon 4, and we did a lot of roaming around, numerous races and various other things. Since the 'season' for this week was Winter, it meant a lot of snow and ice, which meant the use of 4WD vehicle like a Dodge Ram was advisable . Granted... I take every vehicle in the game off road. Also found a few Barn finds
Then with the second half of the stream, Gears 5 with LvStrkr and Iceman happened with most of Act II knocked out, and nearly all the collectables found... I say nearly, cause there was a few missed along the way. Still there was some hilarity with questionable deaths, scenes forcing us to move along. The big focus on Kait seemingly being able to hijack the Swarm seems to be the sign of something cool for later in the game.
I will admit, I do like the open exploration part of Gears 5, as clearly it's meant to be done with a team of three people and not just one person with two A.I. parterres. Also the skiff is a nice in game way to get around, which I don't mind using since for the most part I enjoy the change of pace and allows for my buddies to keep an eye out for anything I might miss. Really looking forward to continuing the fun next Wednesday! .
On a side note: the armor Kait wears looks very similar to the the Initiative Armor seen in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Except in ME:A Ryder doesn't have a small Volus on their back!
For the raid tonight, we sent things over to Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV! Their twitch channel is twitch.tv/kalenal!

I wrapped up the 5.2 content of Final Fantasy XIV's main story quest, and certainly more ground work is being laid to not only kick the butt of the person using the form of Ardbert for evil intentions, but also for Endwalker as it was revealed that Zenos has always dreamed of how the world ended and fractured into 13 different ones. The dungeon, Anamnesis Anyder, was quite interesting in how it begins with the team riding on the back of the First's version of Bismark... I did have some trouble with the 2nd sub boss and the final boss of the dungeon with some of their odd gimmicks. But hey, I can now continue the Eden side story and do its raids / trials.!
Lost of folks are mad that the big reset button has been pressed even harder in regards to NXT and the WWE's developmental program. Considering NXT was supposed to be the minor league program for folks to get experience, and not a third major brand for the WWE... which it failed at being once it moved to airing on the USA Network, it was time for it be re-started.
For tonight's stream we're going to most likely mess around with Final Fantasy XIV, depends on the queue when I log in later. If the queue is long, we'll do something else instead!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
