Getting Things Started For The Week

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch was fairly good, we had two minor instances of network issues but the stream didn't split into multiple parts like Saturday night's did. Big thanks to PandasSweet for being apart of several matches, Characters that I used for this week's Overwatch session included D.va, Reinhardt, Wrecking Ball, Orissa, Moira, Tracer,Ashe, Junkrat, Torbjourn, Cassidy and Mei. Managed to squeeze out an epic Play of the Game as Mei, getting credited for a a quarda-kill with her Blizzard ultimate. So super fun times in that regard.

Also yes, I did break out Wakko's America during last night's stream as well for a bit of singing nonsense.

I was also unaware that the 2nd Beta phase for Overwatch 2 ended this past week, I was not expecting it to be shorter than the first one. Oh well.

Twitch Clips

For the raid we dropped in on andrewshaman who was doing a Just Chatting stream over at twitch.tv/andrewshaman. The raid was guided by BangBangBang713 who redeemed a channels points reward.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Body Uppercit Cobmo, Body Straight Combo and Advanced Combo #2 for 31 minutes.

Finished the commissioned fic request based around Star Wars: The Force Unleashed before last night's stream, and I think I did a fairly decent job adjusting Shaak Ti's fate to having her survive her jump into the Sarlacc Pit. Also picked up another requests for a commissioned fic based around the game Watch Dogs... which will be a challenge because I have not played that! 

Now of course me saying I haven't played something comes across as odd when you figure that I have played so many games over the years, but there are more things that I haven't gotten to for one reason or another. 

Messed around a bit with Fallguys and Ghostbusters Sanctum of Slime following the stream to  try and bang out a few achievements, and was successful at my intended goals.

Fall Guys Achievements

  • Shopping Spree: Unlock 10 cosmetic items from the store
  • Down to the Wire: Qualify after a round goes to overtime
  • Bargain Bucket: Equip an uncommon or better Body Colour, Pattern, Upper and Lower Costume piece

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime Achievements

  • ROCKSTAR: Destroy all the expensive LCD televisions in the hotel.

Why did the toilet paper roll downhill? To get to the bottom.

For tonight's stream, there is going to be a bit of a toss up depending on the weather, as we're expecting a thunderstorm. If it isn't too bad we'll start up Castle of Illusion, but if I feel it's going to be rough, we'll mess around with Cultist Simulator.

Of course considering the heatwave that has been pounding South Jersey as of late, the thunderstorm will do a great job of breaking up the heat... so on that unsure bombshell 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...
