Xfinity Screws Me Over Again...

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream was plagued with issues thanks to Xfinity with complete instability from 7 PM, witch complete package lost, stream being broken up into three splits... and generally a lot of lost and wasted footage. To top it off my PlayStation 2 Slim started having issues reading the XenoSaga Disc when it came to cut scenes, which means I have to get the PlayStation 2 Fat Model to send a video signal somehow or otherwise, just find a refurbished model... or write off being able to feature games from the PlayStation 2 era on original hardware.

In terms of XenoSaga, we covered most of Chapter 3 which featured Ziggy rescuing Momo... and I found some of the stealth mechanics to be quite interesting and easy to grasp in order to avoid trouble. We would have finished Chapter 3 if the PS2 would load the the cut scene that leads into the boss fight.

Now I did went to switch to PS2s from the Slim to the Fat one, but I couldn't find the components that I know I have... I look just about everywhere on stream and couldn't find them. So we'll order another set and try again down the line.

We did get in some Fall Guys to try and salvage the stream, and picked up a couple of achievements and had some good moments with that

For the raid we dropped in on Bestibunni who was playing Magic: The Gathering over at twitch.tv/bestibunni!  

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

Kncoked out every possible side quest I could find in Coerthas Central Highlands last night in Final Fantasy XIV, couple of which involved messing with snowmen. Also stumbled across the 10th anniversary event quest which was cute, if not fourth wall breaking. 

What's brass and sounds like Tom Jones? Trombones.

How do prisoners communicate with one another? Cell phones.

Song of the Day: Tear in my Heart by Twenty One Pilots

You know during last night's stream the Phillies were up 7-0 on Arizona... less than 40 minutes later they were trailing 12-7.

Started work on the Metal Gear Solid commission request... and I discovered in my research the entire 'if Snake doesn't shower' scenes, which will serve as a great basis for the short story.

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...
