More Fallout 76 Experiences

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Fallout 76 saw a lot of things being done as I went to find the item for Beckett's bar for my camp, as well as doubling back to get the canister needed for a quest... and I think I kind of understand the hacking gimmick in the game, finding the right password, but it randomizes every time so what may be the clues one time. Do wish the clues were a little more obvious to find in the surrounding area. We were joined by Iceman and we cleared out the Whites Springs Resort area of a couple of quests that we both had. Now we have to deal with a sword that we have to use to kill six different types of creatures... which seems like its going to be a pain in the ass! But I found a list of creatures that will contribute to it, so we should kind of have an easy time with... maybe?

On a side note I did learn that water slides can be built in game, and you can go down them... that was the most important thing that happened last night. Also, the issue with combat difficult last week seemed to be resolved, kind of, as I focused on using rifle weapons. That seemed to even things out a bit. I think. Also last night's stream was split in two, and I think the issue was on Twitch's end... so Xfinity escapes the blame... this time.

Twitch Clips

For the raid we dropped in on FnDanteSavage who was playing Gears of War 3 over at twitch.tv/fndantesavage!  


Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout involved Beginner Combo #1, Uppercut Combo #2 and Front-Back Step Combo. You can totally tell we took it easy with today's workout.

Knocked out another fan fic for a commission based around former WWE Superstars Evan Bourne and Alicia Fox, I set it in and old alternate universe continuity that Kristi and I did years back.

Speaking of WWE, some folks are saying Tammy Lynn Sytch, aka Sunny, should be removed from the Hall of Fame... listen... considering the shit Fabulous Moolah, Jimmy Snuka and various other inductees have done, Sunny isn't getting kicked out. 

Knocked out today's Friday the 13th Killer Puzzle daily death... and I just realized... tomorrow's Friday the 13th... I'm going to complete this game on Friday the 13th. That is awesome!

Up through yesterday, I managed to put together a nice little streak of consecutive days earning an Xbox achievement, currently standing at 13 days. This was thanks to figuring out a few gimmicks while playing Thor in Smite off stream following last night's stream.

SMITE Achievements

  • Dunkmaster!: As Thor, land on three or more enemy gods at once using ultimate.

Updated the AMD drivers for my graphics card to the latest release... wonder how long until I'll have to reinstall it, because heaven's knows AMD doesn't really do quality testing on new drivers to make sure they don't have any issues before release!

Apparently there is a game based on RiffTrax, which involves the guys who were first involved with Mystery Science  Theater 3000. From what I can tell it is a Jackbox Party type of game... maybe we'll give it a try?

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...
