Good morning everyone,
It's already Wednesday, and I want to touch on something before I talk about last night's stream.
Once against the Baseball Writers Association of America, gets it wrong as Barry Bonds get denied entry into the Hall of Fame for the 10th time. Now there is no way that David Ortiz, who by the way tested positive for PEDs, deserves to be in the Hall of Fame more than Bonds, Bonds has the better offensive numbers and was an elite outfielder for a large portion of his career, while Ortiz was just a Designated Hitter on a loaded line up. Put it simply, the only thing Ortiz has over Bonds is that he kissed the ass of the press his entire career once he landed in Boston.
But the fact of the mater is this, the Baseball Hall of Fame... you know, the actual building, is supposed to tell the history of the game, era by era, and you can't call it a Hall of Fame without without question the greatest offensive player of the modern era. You just can't, and the fact hat you have some piss-ant cuckolds who have resentment towards Bonds still holding onto their ballots by the tiniest of margins to make sure he didn't get in is bullshit.
And what really pisses me off about this, is you have sports writers who try and justify not voting for Bonds after the fact, year after year, and they defend their colleagues who have proven time and time again they don't deserve the responsibility of voting for the Hall of Fame by sending in incomplete or even blank ballots. The good news is that with the Era committees, this travesty of justice should be rectified in rather short order when the committee for Today's Game meets in December of this year.
Anyway, last night's stream featured Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, as we went through the story mode from the Mortal Kombat perspective... and it does give me a laugh seeing that Quan Chi and Shang Tsung are the MK universe's 'voices of reason' considering their history. If you think about it, MK vs DC is basically where the trope of Radian being a an idiot starts and it carries over into the Mortal Kombat 9, 10 and 11. With the full story mode completed, the game goes on the list for this years tour of finished games.
Also did a number of arcade towers as well to chase after some achievements, and some of the quality of the endings is all over the place. There are some that connect, such Lex Luther forms an alliance with Quan Chi in his ending, but in Batman's ending, the Dark Knight creates an early alert system so he becomes aware of it which leads into Flash's ending of him getting the jump on the sorcerer while also having a telepathic link to Liu Kang. Then you have weird endings like Kitana basically forms the Mortal Kombat version of Themyscira, The Joker become DC's version of Shao Khan and Kano becoming the Joker.
We are going to get another stream out of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe next to do arcade ladder runs with the remaining characters. We'll probably pair it up with another game since that will not take 4 hours to do.
Following the stream we hosted Joliet4 who was doing a live music stream over at twitch.tv/joliet4!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Body Uppercut Combo, Uppercut Combo #2 and Body Hook Combo for a duration of 28 minutes and a calorie burn of 440 kcal. OF course I've been doing a little extra each day beyond the daily... as shown with the totals in the screenshot.
Overwatch's Lunar New Year Event started... and the skins are a little surprising, there are weekly award skins for 76, Wrecking Ball and Ashe, which we'll chase down on Sundays. But there are only two legendary skins, one for Mercy and one for Tracer. Wonder how badly things got at Blizzard with all the truths that came out to effect Overwatch.
Trimmed up some of my hair last night, mostly the sides and back. Really have to ignore cutting the hair that leads to my bangs. At the very least I'm not balding as bad as my father did when he was my age
Star Trek Online's anniversary event started, which means a new mission and a new task force operation. We'll check those out on Thursday night's stream. The big surprise is that Kate Mulgrew will be playing both Admiral Janeway and her mirror counter-part. Mulgrew is no stranger to video games, having lent her voice to the Dragon Age series.
My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventures featured quite a bit of lore with the quests 'Sound the Bell, School's In', 'A Captial Idea' and 'Best of the Best', the last of which sets the stage to begin heading towards Garlemald, which is said to be an a snow covered territory. Kind of nice Tataru made coats for everyone.
Finished off the CapcoMaster achievement in Capcom Arcade Stadium last night, easily getting the final 3 Million CASPO needed for it. With two achievements left, my attention turns towards the Hardcore Gamer achievement, which is basically to start a game 1000 times, easy enough, using a game with a Score Challenge, just start that, press A, pause, reset game, press A, pause, reset, and repeat.

For tonight's stream, we'll mess around with Forza Horizon 4 and then continue Gears 5 with Iceman and Striker! So you know something silly is bound to happen!
On that note we'll see you later tonight over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
