Two More Story Arcs Down In Persona 4 Arena

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream was without incident from Xfinity, so maybe somethings were addressed... we'll see if that holds true.

Anyway for the stream, we focused on Persona 4: Arena and went through two full story arcs, Akihiko and Teddie's... and both of which has made me further question the continuity of events of the story, to see if the 'true villain' is simply hopping timelines or note. That said, Akihiko's story was certainly straight forward, while Teddie's was without question a bit more on the silly side at times. There were things in Teddie's story that certainly did not make sense to me without proper context. 

We also did an arcade run as Mitsuru and managed to pick up a few achievements that require playing the arcade mode. Also managed to knock out 13 of Labrys's combo challenges, and from what I could tell the online play seems like it might still work... but with Persona 4 Arena Ultramax out, the odds of even getting a couple of online achievements seems every unlikely. 

Also discovered that Persona 4 Arena Ultramax is not a remake of Persona 4 Arena, instead its it sequel... which was exclusive to the PS3. I think it got a digital re-release for the PS4... so we'll look into that at some point.

Big thank you to the anonymous cheerer who kicked in 300 bits last night. The support is always appreciated!

Twitch Clips

For the raid we dropped in on YrGamerBunni as they were playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition (in particularly Mass Effect 3) over on twitch.tv/yrgamerbunni!  

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Straight Combo #2, Intermediate Combo #2 and Hip Shape Focus Combo for 28 minutes.

Watched another episode of Stargate SG-1 called Emancipation, (Season 1, Episode 3)... and considering how the rights of women were just restricted in the United States, this is hitting particularly hard. I wonder what Amanda Tapping's thoughts were on this episode regarding how here character of Captain Carter was basically persecuted for being a woman, forced to change her attire and was basically was to be sold. Granted, Carter plays a huge role in the resolution of the episode and getting to beat the crap out of the villain of the episode with things ending on a positive note. Still the entire first half of the episode is really cringe worthy.

The balls of white Christian Conservatives saying 'Don't Abort We'll Adopt' fucking pisses me off, because if that was true there wouldn't be over 110,000 kids waiting to be adopted!

For tonight's stream the plan is to play Overwatch 2's Beta to get a good idea of any changes from the initial closed Beta from last month. Speaking of Overwatch, I'm not too keen on how the Brigitte Medic skin is forcing a requirement to gift-subs to specific streamers. Now if that isn't possible, we'll do something else of course.

Anyway, 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...
