Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – going for longer distances! Some slight wonkiness caused Costello to flip when hitting a pavement at 30mph; otherwise it would have been a fine run.

6:26 Edinburgh – Duisburg (aborted due to insufficient time from starting contract)
17:05 Glasgow – Liverpool (reservoir tank)
1:03:40 Aberdeen – Luxembourg (ventilation shaft)
1:36:50 Truck… graveyard??
1:41:35 Crazy flipping

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – a regular (important) delivery of apples to Amsterdam goes awry. I was cruising along going through a tunnel and suddenly saw the road through my windshield. 100% damage. Oh dear.

1:25 Derping about in the loading yard
5:15 Derping about with screenshots (sensing a theme?)
12:30 A series of near misses
22:15 Glitch Crash

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – two contracts again; Heavy and Sniper. Heavy was plenty easy on Doomsday as killing the Australium carrier netted 20 CP. Sniper wasn’t so easy, especially when I derped and said “Oh yeah Huntsman doesn’t get headshots…” No idea what I was thinking of. Maybe after nocking arrow for more than 5s? Anyway, got the headshots eventually… with the Huntsman.

With apologies to the users in chat whose greetings I missed- was focused on getting those %^&%”*! headshots!

Apologies to Costello too for subjecting him to that length of frustration.

12:50 Heavy basic done
17:15 Heavy advanced done
38:05 Sniper basic done
1:09:05 Sniper advanced FINALLY done

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio – a little catch up on some contracts received while on hiatus: medic and soldier. The soldier bonus (kill airborne players with secondary) took longer than it should have for someone who has been playing as long as I have.

2:00 Server 1
18:30 Server 2
27:05 Server 3
32:10 Medic basic complete
43:00 Medic advanced complete – medal bronze’d
52:25 Soldier basic complete
1:21:20 Soldier advanced complete

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – back on the roads with some trucks. Some slow oranges to the continent and then some fast fast fast low bed semi-trailers to London. Go trucks go!

5:30 Glasgow – Amsterdam (Oranges)
23:30 HEAD ON CRASH! (not my fault!)
46:20 Carlisle – London (Low-bed semi trailers)

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio with Costello – back from hiatus! (and the hiatus definitely shows in my level of play)

A couple of contracts for more Gun Mettle here. Also used the key kindly provided by cherrycrunch23 during the last stream, many moons (~2 weeks) ago. Thanks again!

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio (with special thanks to cherrycrunch23) – Backburns, spychecking and reflections ahoy!

The next Gun Mettle contract I was assigned turned out to be Pyro. The standard 100 CP was easily enough obtained almost within a round. But the advanced criteria. Oh the advanced criteria. 3 reflection kills. No problem usually, unless you’re trying to get them which seems to interfere with the part of the brain responsible for ‘competence’. I eventually got them on pl_borneo; thank goodness!

Also have to pay my thanks and other gratitude to the awesome cherrycrunch23, who after convincing me to go with unboxing – my first on-air! – the gun case I got, kindly donated a key which I’ll use at the next contract!

9:00 Contract complete (must have ignited a spy for 5CP)
14:45 Switch to plr_hightower
54:00 Switch to pl_borneo (yep, 40 minutes of failing to reflect!)
1:00:35 First reflect!
1:04:30 Second reflect, contract complete!
1:07:00 Unbox!
1:13:40 cherrycrunch23 demonstrates their awesomeness!

Streamed from http://twitch.tv/bertiebaggio – I am hungry for that Volvo! Getting pretty close to being able to (comfortably) afford it.

Frustratingly, I had to reset the economy to update jobs after each delivery.

04:25 Košice – Bia?ystok (Pressure Tank)
40:10 Budapest – München (Chlorine)
