A Weird End To A Wild Night

Good afternoon everyone,

Well last night's stream had a lot of variety, but let's talk about how it ended. For the first four hours, there were no issues at all, then there was a slight drop off for a few moments, nothing major... but then at 11:14 PM we had issue to the point that it forced the stream to split into 2 parts. Thankfully I was going to be wrapping up anyway, but that's the first instance of that in a quite a few weeks.  

Anyway, last night we lead off with NFL Game Day, and despite the disc having more scratches than a curtain in a room full of cats, it was a fun experience. Granted the first game I played as the Eagles vs the Cowboys ended in a loss, but by the end of it I had enough of any idea of how to play. The second game, where I played as the Bears vs the Jaguars ended in a dominate win... granted the Jaguars were one of the worst teams in the game, but hey a win is a win.

I broke out the Dance Pad and loaded up Dance Dance Revolution Konamix for the 2nd game of the evening... and needless to say, you probably will never see that game streamed by me ever again for two reason. One being, the added sound of me 'dancing' on the dance pad sounds terrible, and Two being I mostly did this to see if the Dance pad itself still worked... and good news is it does.

I also took a look at The Incredible Hulk: The Pantheon Saga... and for 20+ years I always thought it was a side scrolling beat-em up. I had no idea it was a 3D game with puzzle elements. I can say that the music sounded good, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of the controls.

We switched over to the PlayStation 2 to mess around with Capcom vs. SNK 2, during a couple of arcade mode runs, and even taking a crack at survivor mode (getting 9 wins as Sakura). Unlike an earlier attempt at playing it while back, we didn't have the game freezing when fighting Rugal (Since I mostly used the Capcom characters).

Lastly we spent some time playing Overwatch 2, as I continue to practice using D.va to see what can and cannot be done against live opponents. Only won one match, but had a great moment of getting a double kill by dropping my mech on a Widowmaker and Soldier 76!

Big thanks to the chat for kicking in 300 bits during the stream! Ya'll are great!

Twitch Clips

For the raid, we dropped in on Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV over at twitch.tv/kalenal!  

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Triple Combo #1, Straight Combo #1 and Weaving Combo #2 for 28 minutes.

I did some rearranging of things in my office space as there might be a reveal of what's behind the screen stream at some point.

Nearly finished the latest commissioned story request based around John Cena's 20th Anniversary appearance on WWE Monday Night RAW, just need to wrap up the action sequences.

It's the start of a new week, so let's look back at what happened last week over on my Twitch channel, which featured Overwatch, Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins, Paladins, Persona 4 Arena, Fallout 76, Final Fantasy XIV, Persona 5 Strikers, NFL Game Day, Dance Dance Revolution Konamix, The Incredible Hulk The Pantheon Saga, Capcom Vs SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium 2001 and Overwatch 2! Also three moments of Just Chatting is included as well.

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...
