We've brought back Gears of War 2

 Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream opened with Fall Guys, and we did win a show and came very close to winning another one. I was surprised there were no special gimmick objectives to do this week. Seems like since Fall Guys went free to play there was always some sort of silly thing to shoot for. But hey we had fun with it and had some big moments.

Now for the second half of the stream, we brought back Gears of War 2, as a break from Fallout 76, and of course we were joined by Iceman for it, nearly completing the first two acts. On this play through we are playing on Normal, and surprisingly we didn't have too much trouble so far, having only had to re-try three times. Two were my fault lol.

It did take a little bit of time to remember how to play Gears of War 2, but once I did, I was actually able to make progress towards some achievements, so potentially, when we finish this run of the game, we could end up with a few boosts to my gamer score.

Big thanks to Iceman for renewing his subscription to my Twitch Channel for the 59th consecutive month!

For the raid we dropped in on Mystery Science Theater 3000 while Monster a Go-Go was being shown over at twitch.tv/mst3k

As many folks know I lost my mom to cancer recently, and at her funeral, I met a cousin for the first time who is also battling cancer. She has started a go fund me, and has already raised $2500. You can find out more at https://gofund.me/5c2c042a

Started writing the latest WWE short story commission which focuses on the return of Chelsea Green to the promotion, and I got maybe 25% of it written. Only reason I didn't get more done, because I had a few other things to take care of. I do want to write a Star Trek short story, but I'll probably save that as an exclusive for March over on my SubscribStar page

Now part of what distracted me from writing was the fact I wanted to get ahead of making some content for my YouTube channel, knocking out the 2nd to last video regarding VHS tapes, and I'll have one more to make to end that series.

Also went through and tossed some things out as well, nothing major, just some stuff mom set aside in a contractor bag to be trashed months before she got sick.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Uppercut Combo #2, Front-Back Step Combo and Body Straight Combo. 

Applied for one of CVS remote customer service positions, took their test.... and was told my application will not go any further

For tonight's stream we have Final Fantasy XIV scheduled, with side quests, raids and other things.

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