More Loyalty Missions In Mass Effect 2

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Mass Effect 2 saw along of things done, as we focused on several of the Loyalty missions, namely for Mordin, Grunt and Miranda, plus finding a few side missions. For those wondering, Mordin kept the genophage cure data, Miranda talked with her sister and Grunt... is Grunt. WE had a few close calls during these missions, namely with the Thresher Maw. 


Now at this point I still have not picked up Samara or Thane, but the next time we play Mass Effect 2 on Monday's stream, Thane is who we're going to pick up first, then Samara, then we'll do a side mission in order to be able to set up both of their loyalty missions. If things flow right, that is probably when we'll do Lair of the Shadowbroker too... which sets up Tuesday to be to finale and wrap of Mass Effect 2. 

I do have a very practical approach to playing games in this franchise when you think about it, to where I do every little thing possible. Of course there is the issue of finding all the components needed to fully upgrade a weapon, and I may have made a mistake or missed something somewhere.

For the raid we dropped in Phoenix_Face over at twitch.tv/phoenix_face as they were playing Counter-strike: Global Offensive!  

Don't be surprised that with the 6.1 update you'll see me talking about Final Fantasy XIV a little more frequently in regards to off-stream gaming, there is new main story content. The first quest sees the Warrior of Light meet up with Tataru who gives the player a new outfit. Also, since a lot of the Endwalker involved frantically getting around some places, it was made clear we're going back to the newest areas to explore. The second quest does more about setting things up as well as introducing some characters important to the plot, as well as reuniting the Warrior of Light with Estinien and reminding us as to why we will not be see some of the Scions, but that G'raha will be involved.

I would have done the third quest, but the power went out at 1:30 AM, thankfully I always keep my phone pretty charge so I ended up listening to a recent episode of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff. Power came back up at 4 AM.


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout involved Body Uppercut Combo, Body Hook Combo and Uppercut Combo #2. As I was able to do some Free Training, I set a new personal best for Uppercut Combo #1 on No Mercy. 

I did finally realize the on-stream text box for anything said by the chat was too far to the right, resulting in some words being cut off. I made the adjustment this morning so it should be alright during tonight's stream.

With the achievements earned playing Mass Effect 2 last night we're up to a streak of 61 days, which could end up being 62 days if we get lucky tonight .

Why? Well tonight we're back to Fallout 76, as we'll roam around and try to get things related to the story done.

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...
