As Usual We Cure The Genophage!

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Mass Effect 3 saw a couple of issues with Xfinity, and a few old fashion frame drops, but it was mostly stable.

We did cover a lot of major stuff, and not so major stuff with the game in terms of side quests. The big thing was we cured the Genophage, because there is no way in hell I would ever pick the Salarians over the Krogan, mostly because for every one cool Salarian there are bunch of assholes. We also took care of the secondary missions involving helping Samara and Jacob, and I did try to make party selections make sense to get extra dialog. I did take Javik with Liara for the Samara mission, just to have them snipping at each other.

Of course, anyone who has seen my play the Mass Effect trilogy before knows how important I view Thane's death scene when it comes to Shepard's character, because Thane is the only love interest in the trilogy that can die in a major moment that is not a decision. Plus, when we get to the Citadel DLC, Thane's memorial service is a lot more impactful because Shepard cries during it.

In terms of the side-side quests, the ones that involve exploring, we covered a good portion of all things that are associated with every system that opens up after Priority: Tuchanka, and that meant a lot of running around the Citadel to get some deliveries made. In terms of these, I just have the stuff that open up after Priorty: Geth Dreadnought, Priorty: Rannoch and Priority: THessia to deal with.

But before we even do that, the DLC quests called Omega and Leviathan will be my next priority and will be featured on tonight's stream. We'll probably open with Leviathan because that is long as hell to deal with, and when that is done, if there is time we'll tackle Omega.

Twitch Clips

For the raid we dropped in on YrGamerBunni who was playing Crusader Kings III over at twitch.tv/yrgamerbunni!  

Today's FItness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Hook Combo #1, Uppercut Combo #1 and Waist Shape Focus Combo for 31 minutes.

Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago resident got raided by the FBI...too bad he wasn't there because the footage of him kicking and screaming would have been hilarious!

Asked the supervisor at my job what are the chances that I won't get stuck on the current big assignment every day, because it just handcuffs the hell out of how productive I can be. I'm someone who like to hit certain marks, and more often than not I do feel some assignments are meant to just make sure I don't reach my own goals.

We're expecting a big thunderstorm or at least a lot of rain on Wednesday afternoon and evening, hopefully work and streaming will not be effected.

The rotation of the earth really makes my day.
