More Fallout 76 Things Plus Overwatch 2 Thoughts

 Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Fallout 76 was a lot of fun, as I completed the Fire Breather's training arc, plus Camp McClintock, which surprised me considering the obstacle course had a time limit of 2 minutes and I think it took me more than that amount of time. Big thanks to Iceman for being apart of the gun as we covered a lot of ground as we ended up working on various shared quests that we both have. I do have to say that the amount of stuff that one can carry has certainly lead to me discovering we can't fast travel. On the other hand, finding a fair amount of weapons and gear is going to be interesting until I find the plans needed to craft the stuff I know I'm going to need. On the plus side, I did make a barn so I have a nice little compound where my camp is located.

For the raid we dropped in on x9abenonymous9x  who was playing Gears of War 2 over at twitch.tv/x9abenonymous9x!  

Oh you know, technically speaking I am on a 3-day Xbox achievement streak... I am not going to get on another long extended one however. 

Now what about Overwatch 2? Where first impression from what I experiences is that the Tug of War instance with the Robot is something clearly designed around focusing on the objective. It's literally push the payload as far as possible.Doomfist is literally a dive tank, so those Doom players can still play the same style as they are use to... but unless they are pocketed by a Mercy, Doomfist players will find themselves in trouble if they are too greedy. Orissa is now a literal push tank and if she is boosted by Mercy and gets Anna's nano boost, she becomes a near instant death machine. I did like the Toronto and the Midown maps, as its quite clear a lot of thought have been given to ambush tactics as well as possible PVE scenarios. 

Now what is it like playing Overwatch 5 vs 5 instead of 6 vs 6... well there is probably more emphasis on getting things done on objective capture and pushing of the payload on the older maps, since the tanks are beefier. Back captures are really going to be a thing, so being aware of the situation is going to be really important in the long term. That said it's going to be really easy to spawn camp in some situation too because of the more ground to cover. So that said, I look forward to featuring Overwatch 2 on Saturday's stream, which means we'll have back to back nights of it, with standard Overwatch on Sunday night, so we can play with our regulars.

Also on a side note, it appears the build for Overwatch 2 is pulling from what people had as their character skins from early February, when the Lunar New Year was happening.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured a 30 minute workout. I forgot to write down the notes of which exercises because I had issues with AMD's software not updating when the drivers for the graphics card were. 


Officially added Deadpool and Golden Axe: Beast Rider for the PlayStation 3 to the collection, of the two game, Deadpool is the one I would mostly be able to finish during a couple of streams.

Sgt. Slaughter has signed a multi-year deal with Hasbro which means his G.I. Joe counterpart will be returning to the franchise, which is awesome!.

Have I mentioned that Push Polls are a pain in the ass to work on because of how thinly disguised their questions are when it comes to interviewing people?

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
