Back to Fallout 76

Good morning everyone,

Well last night's stream of Fallout 76 was interesting as I progressed a big part of the Foundation side of the build towards the big Vault break in to kind of have it even with where the Crater side is. I enjoy some of the back and forth in finding what I needed to access various areas, as it really seems like things were well thought out.

Also, since I'm tackling the Brotherhood of Steel stuff as well, I knocked out the back end of the dealing with the Crater and getting Foundation into a 'trade agreement' of sorts. Since this is supposed to be done long after the prior mentioned quest line, it just makes things more jumbled. On the plus side, I am curious who sold the weapons to Foundation.. and if one of the Knights turned traitor. Looking forward to seeing how that shakes out.

Big shout out to Iceman for not only the resub, but also for being apart of the action to help with the Scoreboard challenges. Always glad to have co-op action on a game like this. We also discovered the Monster Mash event is really... REALLY... awful and a waste of time.

On a side note regarding the screenshot... you'll see why I picked that one for this blog by clicking on it and seeing that on top of the entrance it says 'Bite my rusty metal ass', which is a reference to Bender from Futurama who would say 'Bite my shiny metal ass.' 

Also I became aware that there was no game audio during the stream after the fact... I do not know why other than the fact there was a Windows Update that probably screwed up a whole bunch of stuff, as I had to reassign by mic and headphones in OBS. I hope to have this addressed by tonight's stream.

For the raid we dropped in on Cammi_316 while they were playing Fortnite over at twitch.tv/cammi_316!

Yesterday work just fucking dragged man... hopefully today will feel quicker, but I see the assignment I'm on means I'm going to get a big fat goose egg for the day. Damn it...

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

In regards to last night's stream issues that were traced back to Xfinity, there were 5 in total. Was able to successful document once instance where the Upstream Power Level was well over 51. 

The Phillies are surging as of late, but they can't keep up this momentum for long as they have a series with the Mets this weekend.

Jumped into Mass Effect 3's multiplayer and managed to knock out the Overload related achievement, and also got my Engineer character up to Level 20 as well. The next one to shoot for is to get a weapon to Rank 10, but that is pretty grindy because of how the Recruit packs are randomized.

Mass Effect 3 Achievements

  • Overload Specialist: Overload the shields of 100 enemies.

What do you call Samsung's security team? The Guardians of the Galaxy!

Song of the Day: Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton

I sold my vacuum yesterday. It was just collecting dust.

Overwatch is getting rid of the Loot box system, and I have mixed feeling about it because I always knew whenever new seasonal rewards came out I could grab a bundle of them, get the rewards and stock up on gold to unlock other things down the road.

For tonight's stream, Final Fantasy XIV is on deck, as the goal is mostly just casual playing, finding loose side quests and other stuff.

So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!

Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
