Hello Heroes!

Today, I got the baseball practice schedule for my boys and it includes times that will make things rough for a 9 PM CST start. The safest move is to bump it back by 30 minutes, so I'll start at 9:30 PM CST on Tuesdays and Thursdays from here on out.

The Tuesday and Thursday streams will focus on games with stories. On Tuesday, I will play Final Fantasy XIV, which I am horribly behind on. Considering that I'm heading to the Fan Festival this spring, I really want to catch up. Plus, the game is just a ton of fun and I'd love to share the ever evolving story with y'all.

Thursdays will continue my playthrough of the Assassin's Creed series. This Thursday, I will start up Assassin's Creed: Revelations and wrap up the Ezio trilogy. As always, there will be a dime pledge per kill and a dollar per desynch.

Sundays at 2PM CST, starting on February 15 (well, really February 22 for me), the Minecraft Hardcore SMP kicks off season two. I say February 22 for me because on February 15, I will have to fly out for work plus do actual work when I land. It sucks that I have to miss the season premier, but such is life.

Birthday Stream!

My birthday is February 8. Since that is the Super Bowl, I will stream the day before on Saturday, February 7. The goal is to start at 8 PM CST; however, that might end up pushed until 9 PM CST if my oldest has practice on Saturday evening.

Either way, the stream will go until midnight and I hit 41 years young. My goal is to raise $410 on February 7. In that spirit, I shall consume the spirit of Chicago, Malört. Every $100 raised equals a shot of that horrid liquid.

I will start a New Game+ run of Expedition 33. Crowd Control returns. The Death Tax Returns. Plus, there will be additional incentives to make the game harder for me, which will be very important for the rest of the year:

$50 - Enemies have 2x health
$100 - Enemies have 5x health
$200 - Enemies have 10x health
$300 - Enemies have 20x health
$410 - Enemies have 50x health
$500 - Enemies have 100x health

The milestones for the campaign will have me return to the canvas to face off against the toughest fights in the game, fully buffed from the above incentives, death tax and Crowd Control included, at the following levels:
