Rock Band, Spider-Man and Pizza

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday was kind of a rough day on several fronts, feeling less than motivated to day anything at all. As I said, when I'm given extra time to think, I get so inside my own head that I just feel depressed. So instead of using what I had to make dinner, I ordered a Pizza from Francello's (a local Pizza joint located in Pennsauken). For those wondering it was a Philly Steak Pizza, and it was delicious.

Last night's stream of Spider-Man saw us started and complete The City That Never Sleeps Part 1, and by complete I mean unlock every single trophy for it. As a follow up story, it works with Miles wanting to learn, The Black Cat being a part of the adventure, the big reveal that her father was also in the city, plus setting up the loose ends that is Sable International's goons canonically still being in New York following the ending of the main game.

I do feel like I have an opportunity to get all of the Challenge Tokens I need to unlock the remaining three Spider-Suits, but now the concern is Base Tokens,which appears to be only possible in the main story portion of the game. I know I'm going to need 5 more tokens, so I need to figure out which challenges I can do of the remaining bases that I've cleared before.

Marvel's Spider-Man Trophies

• The Cat Came Back: Complete "The Maria" mission
• Disorganized Crime: Complete all Crimes in a district
• The Long Con: Complete the "Like a Fiddle" mission
• Here Kitty-Kitty: Complete the Black Cat chase
• Screwy: Get Spectacular or better in all Screwball Challenges
• Bye Felicia: Complete the "Follow the Money" mission
• Seduced by the City: 100% Complete CTNS: The Heist

We didn't do a raid last night, as I was not sure who would be a good person to drop in on, but I did hang out on BestiBunni's stream of Stellaris over on twitch.tv/bestibunni

Not completely sure what's on the agenda for tonight's stream as Striker said he may not be available, so we'll see

Did quite a bit of singing in Rock Band 4 Rivals, and knocked out quite a few achievements, using some very obvious exploits. Since I'm not going to bother getting any of the actual instruments, I shall treat Rock Band 4 as I did Twitch Sings, as a fun way to spend some times.

On a positive note, I earned enough points through Bing and Microsoft to earn a couple of gift cards, so that was a pleasant surprise for sure.

Was so cold yesterday between the rain and the surprisingly low temperature that I had to turn the heater back on. I was less than thrilled with having to do that.

Saw that Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality now has a non-VR version of on the Xbox side of things, so we'll be checking that out sometime soon. And with the DLC additions to Vampire Survivors we could revisit that on stream as well

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

Hey... finally played a Resident Evil game on stream!

Good morning everyone,

I will admit today was one of those days where I didn't feel like I getting out of bed, like I heard my alarms going off, but I just didn't feel like moving as I just laid in bed thinking to several hours. This reflected on my Fitness Boxing workout this morning as well, as I only did 18 minutes. 

Anyway, work yesterday was... shorter than expected, but the assignment was interesting, as we were interviewing folks in New York regarding a public official, and its always interesting to see how people answer when asked straight forward questions.

Last night's stream opened with Fall Guys, and I was apart of a winning show in a squad. With the double XP on Show points, we were able to gain a lot of shards considering I have the base battle pass completed. I do have to point out that reoccurring problem of Fall Guys just starting duo and squad shows with teams that are at an unfair disadvantage. Squads are supposed to be teams of fours... but if your team only has three people, you're basically screwed from the word go!

We also played Resident Evil 5, and we have to thank Iceman for being apart of the fun on this, as I was certainly struggling in dealing with the controls which aren't as good as I would expect considering the types of enemies running around. Still since it was designed with co-op in mind, having Iceman's help and experience meant we kept the death count fairly down. I think if Capcom designed the game with mobility in mind, it would be a lot more straight forward in being able to handle things.

That said, we did knock all of chapter one and the first half of chapter two... and the boss fights we encountered certainly were more puzzle based than I anticipated. Although one encounter resulted in us both being roasted alive! 

Resident Evil 5 Achievements

• Completed Chapter 1 - 1: Complete Chapter 1 - 1 on any difficulty setting.
• Completed Chapter 1 - 2: Complete Chapter 1 - 2 on any difficulty setting.
• A Cut Above: Defeat 5 enemies with the Knife.
• Completed Chapter 2 - 1: Complete Chapter 2 - 1 on any difficulty setting.

For the raid we dropped in on pradoxgamerau who was playing Stellaris over at twitch.tv/pradoxgamerau

The plan for tonight stream is to continue Hades, We already have five escapes under out belt, and we need five more! If we get can get two done tonight that would be awesome! Of course the success of each run depends on the weapon along with the boons we're able to pick up along the way.

Basically crashed to bed right after the stream, so I didn't get to do any of the writing I had planned, but I will work on the Daria story after tonight's stream. Or even before, depends on if work if cut short again.

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

A Full Night of Fall Guys

Good morning yesterday,

Song of the Day: Strokin' By Clarence Carter

Yesterday was an incredible day of work, one of the best days I've had in quite a while! It was super cool to actually interview people who were interested in the subject matter

Last night's stream of Fall Guys was a lot of fun, as we dedicated the entire night to it. While we didn't win any shows, we did make it the final round several times. And we were joined by Iceman, PandaSweet & FelKimchi for several games. That's right we had an entire squad of players! It certainly lead to a lot of hilarious moments.

We also announced that Resident Evil 5 will be apart of the Wednesday night lines ups starting next week, as that will be the next big co-op adventure game for me and Iceman. It's been a long time since he played it, and I only played it briefly several years ago before I even started streaming. Thank goodness it has an easy mode of sorts!

Following the steam, Iceman and I got to talking about Doctor Who... and while I can recite chapter and verse of the order of the Doctor's regenerations, there was a question over how many the character had with the companions around

The plan for tonight is to continue Hades, as I do want to try and complete seven full escapes to reach the credits to get the 'ending'. Here's hoping we can get a few escapes tonight!

For the raid we dropped in on pradoxgamerau while they were playing Stellaris over at twitch.tv/pradoxgamerau

Made another video going through my DVD collection, and this had a big focus on James Bond films. This will be avaliable on my YouTube Channel around April 5th 

Had a talk with my dad this morning... it was interesting... more or less and I'll eave

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

Completed Coming to Fruition in Fallout 76

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Fallout 76 was productive in a few different ways as I completed the Coming to Fruition story arc which was apart of the original story content of the game, which means my next focus should be on the Fort Defiance arc which I believe would wrap everything up with the original story. Now the biggest problem I'm running into is making sure I have ammo for rifle weapons which makes getting through waves of enemies tougher than it needs to be in my opinion.

Of course I did realize a way to cheese out another achievement, the New Fort Knox, turns out when you turn in the Treasury notes you can buy them back and re-sell them at the same value. I think holding on to those will be rather key to knock out its related challenges on the in-game scoreboard whenever they pop up daily or weekly.

Fallout 76 Achievements

• Coming to Fruition: Complete "Coming to Fruition"
• The New Fort Knox: Gain 1500 gold bullion

For the raid last night we dropped in on Bestibunni who was playing Stellaris over at twitch.tv/bestibunni!  

Last night's stream had two issues with the upstream jumping to to 58.8 and 59 at 9 PM and at 11 PM. Packet losses at both instances were at 25% and 75%. Got a call from Xfinity this morning saying they are saying techs out to finally do something about the issues happening in the area. Might effect work this afternoon, but since I was told in advance I let my job know.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Beginner Combo #2, Advanced Comb #1 and Sway Back Combo for 34 minutes

FnDanteSavage was streaming this morning playing Viking: Battle For Asgard over at twitch.tv/fndantesavage!

Seems like there will be another installment in the Marvel vs SNK series which has been dormant for nearly 20 years 

Cleared out a bunch of side quests in Final Fantasy XIV... but now I realize my Dragoon is too low to really continue this little nightly quest with because at the moment the role is a level 48... and the level cap to turn in quests is set to level 50. Grrr

Work was a bit frustrating... when I was the only one still on one assignment in the final hour... combine with seeing folks on another assignment that makes for an easy way to hit a bonus mark. I'm told that folks will be rotated... but I was told that a few weeks ago and mostly been stuck on the same drab mind bending assignment.

For tonight's stream the plan is to do the new story stuff based around the Pandaemonium raids, so this will mostly involve me dying... a lot. Hopefully we'll have an event free stream when it comes to Xfinity.

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

A Strong Night Of Overwatch

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch certainly saw me playing the role of back fill quite a lot more than usual as of late, but it was decent night overall. Big thanks to PandaSweet for being a big part of the matches, as we closed down the night winning 7 out of the last 10 matches. I personally picked up three Plays of the Game as D.va, Reinhardt and Moira... who was basically all I used during the night, but there was a moment I did play as Orissa. I do feel like I should've had a few more Plays of the Game, but I'll take the three we were credited with.

Shout out to Mech3003 for re-subbing to the channel for the 10th time! As always the continued support is awesome! You don't have too, but I always appreciate it!

For the raid we dropped in on BestiBunni who was playing Stellaris over at twitch.tv/bestibunni! 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Double Combo #2, Body Hook Combo and Weaving Combo #1 for 31 minutes.

During the stream we had one issue with Xfinity, and Overwatch itself detached indications of a weak connection at times. 

Last December and January, I spent a lot of time dedicated to the game Jump Force, just prior to when it was announced the game's ranked servers were being shut down and it was being delisted. Well that finally occurred, but good news is some of the requirements for online trophies were changed. So folks will still be able to 100% complete it... but I get to humble brag about doing it the original way.

Finished the  Resident Evil commission request I received yesterday and setting it in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is certainly the best choice I could have made. Amazingly, got another commission request to base something around Big Boss and Quiet in Metal Gear Solid V... now to how to come up with a quick plot when one of the characters can't talk.

With my focus on Mass Effect 3's achievements done, I can refocus on doing stuff in Final Fantasy XIV to clear out every side quests I skipped over, managed to bang out a bunch right before the maintenance for fixes to patch  6.2 started.
