In Context, Roah Is Kind Of Right

Good Morning Everyone,

Last night's stream of Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise saw the long way around being taken when it came to finishing chapter nine of the story, which sees the normal big bad of the manga and anime, Roah, make his appearance. Turns out Roah knows the secret of Eden and was the one who came up with the idea to create the city, as a means to safeguard against anyone discovering that the Sphere City basically has a nuclear weapon capable of destroying what's left of the world, that is triggered if someone is being restored on the bed in the chamber of miracles... which is exactly where Yuria is, so once the time runs out, the world (or what remains of it) goes boom. So in the context of the game, Roah is actually in the right in his rush to kill Yuria out right, but for the story, Kenshiro wasn't going to let that happen obviously, and thus they fight it out. Plus at this point there are two chapters left, and Roah and Ken's story doesn't end here.

In terms of where this would fit in the greater lore of Fist of the North Star, from what I understand of the timeline, this would mostly place the events after the Jagi arc, after Roah learns that Yuria is the last of the Nanto generals and well before the events of Ken's showdown with Roah

Now the majority of the stream saw me messing around with bounties, sub-stories and other general side quests... the world of the game is actually very engaging in that I want to knock out as much as I can before I feel I have to move the story forward. Hell even the pain in the ass crane game in the arcade is worth doing just to see how the damn thing is rigged!

Of course I would actually jump back into the game off-stream to knock off the achievements associated with the Crane Game, as well as the one to have Kenshiro eat at all food that can be ordered at the three restaurants. Really is looking like Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise will be one of those games I will throw on just to work towards some of the more grind heavy goals. 

For last night's raid, we sent everyone over to MATURISHBAMBINO_ who was also playing Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. He streams over at twitch.tv/MATURISHBAMBINO_ !

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout had me doing Difficult Challenge Combo #2, Difficult Challenge Combo #1 and Difficult Challenge Combo #3 for 34 minutes and an estimated calorie burn of 639 kcal. Today we reached the Immortal Weight Puncher goal of 540,000 HITs which is the last of the punch total EX achievements for the game.... which surprises me because one would think that total would have been 1,000,000.. Anyway, with it accomplished, we're at 86% completion for all EX Achievements

1. Immortal Weight Puncher: Reach a total punch count of 540,000 HITs
   

Apparently the Padres and Giants told the Mets to fuck off about interviewing members of their staff for positions they need filled. Good for them. 

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV adventure saw me tackle two trials as part of the Eden side story, Eden's Promise: Litany and Eden's Promise: Anamorphosis... which sees a lot of Gaia's back story revealed, in that she is one half of a couple that really wants to be together forever... which means that can't happen because of and how much Gaia means to Ryne. The later trial also raises a few questions regarding Ryne's mental state if some how Thancred is something she has hopes and dread about considering how tight they were. I could be misunderstanding the imagery.

Got a call from one of the various people trying to fill in for the day shift supervisor who passed away at the end of last year, I'm told, for sure, that Thursday things get back to normal for those of us on Day Shift... and that we'll be required to use rather specific types of USB headsets at the end of the month. Good thing I had a few commissioned fan fics to write to get the jump on that extra hardware I need to have.

For tonight's stream it'll be more Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise as we'll focus on a lot of side stuff first before advancing the plot of Chapter 10!

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

The Lack Of Courage With Randoms

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Overwatch was interesting on a few levels, first big thanks to ChiefB33F and PandaSweet for being apart of matches through out the night... and second I did have four plays of the game, three as D.va and one as Torbjourn. Other characters used were Brigitte, Mei, Tracer and Reinhardt!

Now what was interesting is the number of folks choosing to play the 'toe in / toe out' method of being on the objective, which actually cost us several wins. Ya'll know me, 99% of the time I'm focused on the objective, but if I notice some nonsense happening I will pull back like no one can believe. I can handle losing hard fought matches when everyone is on the objective or payload... I will not tolerate losing because someone chooses to not engage the enemy or even attempt to get on the objective.

Of course I get told I'm too brave for my own good at times since I often play as D.va, but I rather be aggressive and go all out to try and win than pussyfoot around!

Also during last night's stream, found out Bob Saget passed away this weekend, that certainly was shocking. Like most people my age, practically grew up only knowing Saget in his role of Danny Tanner on Full House and his time hosting America's Funniest Home Videos. It really wasn't until the mid 2000s I became familiar with his stand-up routines and learned of his reputation as one of the filthiest comics of all time.

Anyway, for the raid following the stream, we sent the fun over to Helramma who was playing Apex Legends! They stream over at twitch.tv/helramma!

In terms of EX Achievement progress, as you'll see below, this week we'll hit two milestones pretty easily, as we need 800 HITs for Immortal Weight Puncher which will be accomplished with tomorrow's work out, and we'll have the five daily stamps acquired by the end of the week

Continued my X-Box achievement streak via the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, pick up three achievements in it last night. The toughest one to get was 'Classic Speed Run', to get my best times in all three to equal to 10 minutes or less. My times were 1:57 for Klondike, 5:17 for Spider and 2:14 for FreeCell, for a total time of 9:28. Anyway these would be the last achievements in that game I would be able to get for a while, since nearly every one left requires daily challenges.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection (UWP) Achievements

1. Get Out of Jail Free: Won 10 FreeCell games
2. Classic Speed Run: Your fastest win times in Klondike, Spider, and FreeCell add up 10 minutes or less
3. Become a Star: Completed an entire pack of challenges in the Star Club 
4. Always Invited: Participated in every event in a month
5. Event Aficionado: Completed all the challenges in an Event
   

My off-stream Final Fantasy XIV progress saw me finally getting back to the Eden side quest line, and I got my first taste of Eden's Promise: Umbra. And while it was a successful first attempt, there were some aspects of that fight I didn't understand and the wiki certainly doesn't help. I also loved that more big battle music from Final Fantasy VIII was used for it! As far as the plot goes, Gaia being used by an Ascian to free itself from Eden is an interesting twist.

For tonight's stream, we shall return to Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise to continue that adventure, mostly because I was able to extend my X-Box achievement streak through other means as mentioned earlier.

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

First Impressions Of Kingdom Hearts III

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night we began Kingdom Hearts III, which thankfully doesn't fully make it obvious I'm going to be grinding to get Sora leveled up to have various abilities. Graphically it does look great, and the music that I've heard so far is good... outside of the opening theme song which was garbage. The game worlds certainly feel bigger in terms of seeming like there are lots of things to miss everywhere... then there is the feeling the chapter words feel short, as if there will not be much back tracking if at all.

The big indicator of this is that Olympus, the world for Hercules seems as if it was closing the book on threads left open from Kingdom Hearts II, while Twilight Town sets the stage for what Sora's new main goal is... which is to find Roxas. So let me understand this, first game he goes looking for Kairi, second game is Rikku... third game is Roxas? And a lot of the dialog I've seen involving folks I thought were killed (Members of Organization XIII) seems to indicate that this will be the end of Sora's journey one way or another.

Now there were references to stuff in games I haven't played, but since I played enough of Birth by Sleep to understand what Aqua went through to end up in the darkness (okay one campaign but things being obvious), for the most part Kingdom Hearts III isn't punishing the player for being too reliant on things people might not know.

If I do have a gripe... it's probably going to be with the controls not feeling as tight as they were with Kingdom Hearts II... something feels a little sluggish about how Sora responds, then again the excessive new animations he goes through in some instances (such as being lit on fire) does take me out of the game play. Also some details such as the coloring of Donald Duck's bill and feet along with Maleficent's skin tone seem a little weird... not to mention the voices for Mickey Mouse and Scrooge McDuck being no where close to how I've heard them for a 30+ years.

Question is how will we fit Kingdom Hearts III in with Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, I'm thinking keeping the adventures of Kenshiro on Mondays and Tuesdays until that's finished with KH3 getting either Friday's or Saturdays then moving into the earlier slots in the week. Just seems that will work best.

For the raid, we sent things over to Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV! You can check Kalenal out over at twitch.tv/kalenal!

Officially finished the 5.2 content of Final Fantasy XIV which involved the mostly cut-scene filled quests called Nothing Unsaid, The Journey Continues, Unto The Morrow and Reflections in Crystal. While this does a great job of getting the Scions back to their bodies... which means my attention will now turn to back to the Eden quests to see that story line wrapped up. I also believe I may have to do level up a tank and a mage to get some role quests done to access something else... but I'm not 100% sure.

Watched Airplane II: The Sequel last night, while not as good as the first film, it does have its fair share of laugh out loud moments. Does make me wonder on if I should do 'reacts to' type videos for YouTube.

My off-stream play-through of Mass Effect (360) for achievement purposes reached the point where Tali is recruited, and I like to think I've put some progress in using Overload, Sabotage and Dampening

It's the start of a new week which means time to take a look at what we did last week! The games we featured were Overwatch, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5, Final Fantasy XIV, Pokemon Shining Pearl and Kingdom Hearts III1

For tonight's stream Overwatch is the name of the game as it is every Sunday! Also I updated the skins and voice lines since the Winter Event is done. Won't need to make any changes until the Lunar New Year event in February!

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

Once again, we are a Pokemon Champion

Good afternoon everyone,

Well last night's stream of Pokemon Shining Pearl was filled with all sorts of emotions, as it's not often you get to see me voice some rage in regards to something that happens in a game. There was level grinding for well over an hour before I made my way back to dealing with the Elite Four to use them level boost, as the wild Pokemon in the Underground were not exactly giving me the gains needed. Now the first run of the Elite Four and the Champion Cynthia went surprisingly well... right up until the champ pulled out a full restore out of nowhere right when I had them ready to be beaten... then the spamming of Earthquake meant I was dead in the water.

Needless to the the bullshit that is the Elite Four and Champion having multiple Pokemon that can use Earthquake is just idiotic, not to mention the amount of full restores they can utilize Thankfully I had a guide up to help me remember match ups for the most part, so on the next attempt, success was ours... with Roserade being the MVP. Since it can learn Dazzling Gleam, it basically was able to take down Garchomp, which has a vulnerability to a Fairy-type moves.

Now following that I actually went about completing the Sinnoh Pokedex... and accidentally killing two of the three legendary Pokemon of the lakes. Still this makes the first Pokemon game I've played since Crystal where I was able to complete an entire Pokedex. Woo-Hoo! 

Will I deal with the post-game stuff of Shining Pearl? Maybe, it does give an excuse to go back to it at some point. Will I be looking to get Pokémon Legends: Arceus the day it comes out? Probably not, keep in mind in the past 12 months I've played three Pokemon games, so I'm going to hold off on the next entry until probably the Fall / Winter

Now what will replace Pokemon Shining Pearl in the lineup? Well Kingdom Hearts III, as that is something some of my viewers have been hoping to see at some point, so we'll get that started on tomorrow's stream after installing it. We'll use the X-Box One for it, since the Series S is being used for Gears 5.

Now who did we raid last night? Why it was Hawleight who was playing Life is Strange: True Colors! You can check out their streams over at twitch.tv/hawleigh!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 Daily Workout featured Weaving COmbo #2, Straight Combo #1 and Beginner Combo #2 for 31 minutes and a calorie burn of 467 kcal. Here are the stats for this week, aand if these totals don't add up with the screenshots it's because I do a little extra following the main session.

• Punches Thrown: 8,943
• Estimated Calorie Burn: 3769.34 kcal
  

Finished off another commissioned fan fic based around a WWE Alumni entering another line of work, was nice to get the compensation for it rather quickly!

Speaking of WWE, amazing how after Mickie James rightfully puts the company on blast for how they released her and sent her stuff in a garbage bag that she's going to be in the 2022 Royal Rumble. The push back I've seen on that has been rather hilarious as its clearly the WWE trying to make it up to her..

Didn't mess around with Final Fantasy XIV last night, but did mess around with Mass Effect for the X-Box 360, as there are achievements with that I can work towards. Way I figure I need to do a full engineer run paired mostly with Ashley and Kaiden to knock off several things in one play through, then another run as a full biotic with Liara and Garrus... then finally a run with my original character to to get the last few I'm willing to try to get. So don't be surprise if there are are random Mass Effect Classic streams here and there.

Of course that meant I didn't get any achievements as what I currently have installed on my two X-Box console and PC didn't have anything I could easily complete.

So that leads us to announcing what is on deck for tonight's stream we will be starting up Kingdom Hearts III since we already featured Final Fantasy XIV on stream on Thursday. As I mentioned we'll use the X-Box One for this which means my streak will continue past today!

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

Reflections on Crystal Reflections

Good afternoon everyone,

Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV certainly was Main Story heavy...and that wasn't my intention, it actually was to handle the Eden side-story... but it turns out that would have been among the first stuff in the game I've seen that was effect by COVID, as its clear some stuff was cut and shuffled around.

So my attention turned to doing the Main Story Quest on stream, which meant a lot of cut scenes with voiced and non-voiced dialog, general running around from place to place. The good news is that outside of the abrupt '...and then the Scions went home' line of dialog in the epilogue of Hope's Confluence, everything was pretty smooth.

Granted, the action was rather light, but the pay off was epic in terms of Elidibus committing his last acts of a desperation, even when the truth was right in front of him that he had no fight left to fight, that he lost a long time ago. The trial, titled Seat of Sacrifice, was certainly epic, and had a nice pay off with Emet-Selch helping out certainly had me asking questions (and thankfully Kalenal was able to answer them.)

So now my attention if Final Fantasy XIV turns towards finishing the 5.3 content off-stream as well as getting back to the Eden side-story, as clearly there is a lot more to happen with that than meets the eye.

For the raid, we sent the fun over to Wolfeey_ who we found on Hover, they were playing Genshin Impact. Their twitch channel is over at twitch.tv/wolfeey_!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout had me doing Intermediate Combo #2, Weaving Combo #1 and Advanced Combo #1 for 31 minutes resulting in an estimated calorie burn of 486 kcal.

Knocked out two what I deemed 'do-able' achievements for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, the remaining achievements involve dealing with the tutorial, and character combo and combat commands, both 'cliffhanger' achievements, and playing 100 online matches. The last one would be 'do-able', but people have a habit of not accepting matches when one becomes available to them. This also continued my current streak of having 34 days with at least one X-Box achievement unlocked with a total of 236

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Achievements

1. The Power of Two: Do 10 different character-specific tag throws.
2. Training Hard: Play Free Training mode for 1 hour.
   

Also, knocked out two more achievements Microsoft Solitaire Collection, and if I was smart I would have held off on doing these to help extend the daily streak... oh well.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection (UWP) Achievements

1. Expedition Leader: Took 14 cards off the board in a row without using the stock in TriPeaks
2. Dig, Dig, Dig!: Won a three-board game of Pyramid on Hard difficulty or higher 
   

For tonight's stream, we are focused on level grinding in Pokemon Shining Pearl, to build up my squad to deal with the Elite Four and the Champion Cynthia. Way I figure, I need to get the entire team up into the upper 70s to low 80s to deal with that gauntlet, which is a hell of a lot higher than what I needed to finish off Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee!

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

More Gears On The Forza Horizon

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream lead off with Forza Horizon 4, and we did a lot of roaming around, numerous races and various other things. Since the 'season' for this week was Winter, it meant a lot of snow and ice, which meant the use of 4WD vehicle like a Dodge Ram was advisable . Granted... I take every vehicle in the game off road. Also found a few Barn finds

Then with the second half of the stream, Gears 5 with LvStrkr and Iceman happened with most of Act II knocked out, and nearly all the collectables found... I say nearly, cause there was a few missed along the way. Still there was some hilarity with questionable deaths, scenes forcing us to move along. The big focus on Kait seemingly being able to hijack the Swarm seems to be the sign of something cool for later in the game.

I will admit, I do like the open exploration part of Gears 5, as clearly it's meant to be done with a team of three people and not just one person with two A.I. parterres. Also the skiff is a nice in game way to get around, which I don't mind using since for the most part I enjoy the change of pace and allows for my buddies to keep an eye out for anything I might miss. Really looking forward to continuing the fun next Wednesday! .

On a side note: the armor Kait wears looks very similar to the the Initiative Armor seen in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Except in ME:A Ryder doesn't have a small Volus on their back!

For the raid tonight, we sent things over to Kalenal who was playing Final Fantasy XIV! Their twitch channel is twitch.tv/kalenal!

Spoke to someone at my day gig and things should be back to normal next week

I wrapped up the 5.2 content of Final Fantasy XIV's main story quest, and certainly more ground work is being laid to not only kick the butt of the person using the form of Ardbert for evil intentions, but also for Endwalker as it was revealed that Zenos has always dreamed of how the world ended and fractured into 13 different ones. The dungeon, Anamnesis Anyder, was quite interesting in how it begins with the team riding on the back of the First's version of Bismark... I did have some trouble with the 2nd sub boss and the final boss of the dungeon with some of their odd gimmicks. But hey, I can now continue the Eden side story and do its raids / trials.!

Lost of folks are mad that the big reset button has been pressed even harder in regards to NXT and the WWE's developmental program. Considering NXT was supposed to be the minor league program for folks to get experience, and not a third major brand for the WWE... which it failed at being once it moved to airing on the USA Network, it was time for it be re-started.

For tonight's stream we're going to most likely mess around with Final Fantasy XIV, depends on the queue when I log in later. If the queue is long, we'll do something else instead!

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

 

Side Content Is What Carries Fist Of The North Star: Lost Paradise

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream of Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise certainly featured some bizarre things, such as having to stare at Xsana for three minutes straight, having to fight Jagi from a First Person Point Of View  Perspective... but the length of the main campaign is certainly coming into question. If I subtract the time of me just roaming around, looking for side quests, playing the mini-games and so forth... then that tells me the main story is only maybe 10-12 hours at the most. Don't get me wrong, I get why that is, as all the side stuff is meant to keep people playing with goals in mind.

Hell, I've fallen for the trap that is FotNS:LP's side content, it certainly is a lot of fun, even if certain things feel as if its meant to handicap the player to some degree (the race against Diego for example), and the reoccurring bounties can be a little silly but considering the 10 Million IDL debt Kenshiro gets put under is a major part of the game's side story. Not to mention finding little things like seeing Kenshiro hand out groceries and other mini cut scenes is a nice motivator.

That said, we did finish chapter eight, so that leaves three chapters left, so we could a few more streams left of this game, and if I want to just throw it in for a night of just mindless tomfoolery. Will be interesting to see how I choose to feature Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise after eventually finishing the main story.

On a different note, I did watch some of Dub of the North Star, and the three videos that did abridged parodies of some of the big story arcs...they were interesting to say the least.

Big thanks to FelKimChi for the raid during the stream! They were playing Minecraft, working on a rail! Their channel is over at twitch.tv/felkimchi!

Also more achievements unlocked in the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, it's getting really interesting to see what things I can add to my current streak of daily X-Box related achievements.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection (UWP) Achievements

1.  Aces High: Cleared 3 Aces from the board in a sequence without using the stock pile
2.  Snowfall Success: Won 10 Klondike games

Played some Final Fantasy XIV, and I think I finished what was the initial Doma Enclave improvements as it related to the area called 'The Yard'. Also knocked out the MSQ quests Deep Designs and A Whale's Tale. Next time I play I know I'm going to be dealing with a dungeon and the end of the 5.2 content, which means I should be able to get back to the Eden side-story

For tonight's stream, we shall lead off with Forza Horizon 4, seeing what carnage we can get up to in that, and then after 9 PM Eastern, it'll be Gears 5 with Iceman and LvStrkr!

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