Sea of Thieves Achievements

Iceman, Striker and I knocked out the last chunk of the Monkey Island Tall Tales, and it was a satsifying conclusion, even if roaming the catacombs was a bit annoying. Next time out, we'll be able to focus on just roaming around and finding treasures and stuff.

Sea of Thieves is slated for next Wednesday's stream.

Tomorrow night we're playing Marvel's Midnight Suns and chances are we'll start early

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out stream.

I am off from work until at least Monday thanks to the quirky nature of the July 4th Holiday... at least I should get a lot of writing done.

Speaking of which, got the Dragon Ball commission done, next up on the agenda is a Legend of Korra story.

I've been unable to get the Low-V version of MeTV, which meant I've been unable to watch any of its subchannels... but the trade off has been getting every other UHF channel in the area.

Sea of Thieves and other notes

Tonight, Striker and Iceman were apart of the fun in Sea of Thieves as we knocked out part two of the Monkey Island cross-over adventure, and the 2nd chapter was certainly a lot more puzzle heavy and cryptic much like the original Monkey Island game. 

I did like the inclusion of the Insult Sword fighting, the appearance of Stan and many of the call backs to the original game Monkey Island game. I am convinced that a full 3D remake of the Secret of Monkey Island game will actually be really cool in regards to how well Melee Island looks.

Sea of Thieves will return next Wednesday, depending on the availability of Iceman and Striker

Tomorrow's stream will feature Borderlands 2 as we continue the Captain Scarlet content

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama for their Zone-Out stream featuring Bravestar and COPS

Work was solid if a little less productive than yesterday

Finished the second of two Fairy Tale commission requests, next up is a WWE related one, which is already about 20% complete.

Sea of Theives and other notes

Tonight's Iceman, Striker and I started the Monkey Island content and as a call back to the Monkey Island games I've played, it was awesome, seeing all the references was a real retreat and I loved how faithful it was making a 3D representation of Melee Island.

We'll continue the Monkey Island saga next week is Striker is able to join us, since next week is their Birthday.

Iceman and I also did some Fantasy Baseball chatting to see what tweaks can be made to the team we put together for the twitch channel. Granted a couple of trolls rolled in talking about ceiling spiders, which we no-sold.

Tomorrow night we're back to Borderlands 2!

For the raid we dropped in on ZoneSama!

Work was cut short today, so I've lost 50% of my hours for the day... took a nap afterward because... yeah.

Did finish a WWE commission before work and start work on a Batman related one, which thankfully can be kept rather short.

Got the new lights for the basements installed so now I can rotate which lights I have on at any given time

• The Journey to Mêlée Island: You completed 'The Journey to Mêlée Island' Commendation.

Today's Notes 5/2/21

Good afternoon everybody,

Last night's stream of ESPN Major League Baseball saw my 2004 Phillies sweep the Cubs in the National League Division Series and the Diamondbacks (who beat the Astros in the first round) in the National League Championship series. Now I went into last night thinking I'd alternate between playing and simulating the games (i.e. play games 1, 3, 5 in the Division Series and games 1, 3, 5, & 7 in the LCS), however, because game two in both series were actually won, my plan went right out the window when it game to LCS because why not go for the sweep right? Anyway, over the American League side of things, The Red Sox got through the Twins and Mariners (who beat in the Yankees in the first round), and near as I can tell, they won game six on the ALCS by hitting 2 grand slams in the bottom of the ninth. So Saturday's stream will be a showdown between my Phillies and the Red Sox in the 2004 World Series... and I'll play each game as we'll be looking to sweep the Sox. 

Twitch Clip: This Ball's Outta Here!

Twitch Clip: Hell of a way to end the inning

Big thanks to long time friend of the channel ShadowStrkr who gifted me Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen for Xbox One / Series, looking into it I see it's a 100+ hour game to finish but I do at the least want to take a look at it, so we'll do a demo-night featuring it sometime in the near future!

Another friend of the channel Kalenal, asked if I ever played The Curse of Monkey Island, and I have, granted I haven't played it since 2018. But considering my fondness for Lucas Arts games, I think we're probably do for another run of the Monkey Island games... and hey maybe I can track down the PS2 version of Escape From Monkey Island, since that is the one game in the saga I've never played.

With Mass Effect Legendary Edition coming out on the 14th, finding short games to add to the 2021 tour becomes a little bit of challenge. But since I haven't played many PC games this year, I think a return to the Nancy Drew series is needed, with Nancy Drew Dossier: Resort To Danger/ It shouldn't take me more than a night to get through, and we'll probably start early to give myself extra time to get through it!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session saw me getting the achievement for using Bernando 10 times with Free Exercise sets, and at this point we're up to 58 points as it relates to his Best Friend achievement. The daily set today lasted 47 minutes and I did another 18 to make sure we burned 1000 calories. I'm hoping to do the weekly stream session in the morning because we'll be having someone come in the afternoon to check the washer & dryer which were acting up last Monday.

It's Sunday night which means Overwatch is on the agenda, and we'll be messing with Quick Play matches and whatever arcade modes spark interest this week (Mayhem, maybe Mystery Heroes).

And on that note well see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
