ATV Mania

The PS1 game journey starts now 

Game no: 537
Genre: Racing
Platform: PS1 
Release Date: 2003

So the Playstation 1 is a system where there are a lot of games from all different genre from across the spectrum. So the main goal this console is to play games that are fun. The moment they stop becoming fun I will find another game since there are a lot of games here. So the first game is ATV Mania. Think Mario Kart but with ATV. The contols are sharp and the game is quite fun. There is a story mode but it is just a lot of text so I decided to skip that. Other than that this game is short. After beating the game you can play it again with a harded difficulty. Overall I give this game a B-Rank

Chime

I don't get it










What is it about?
It is a horror movie made from one of Japan great flimmakers. It is about a guy who hears a ringing in the ear? I think.. or probably grief. I am not sure 

The Good 
It is short. For a movie this only clocks in 45 mins which for me is great 

The Bad
I honestly have no idea what is it about. Even after that reveal the twist of the ending is still left me confused. I had to open a reddit thread reading the explanation and I Still don't get it
Probably it is just a dream 

The Ugly
No ending. It just ends and we have to draw our own conclusion 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Don't watch. It is not scary for a horror movie 


Nintendo 64









History 
I've never own a Nintendo 64 in my life but I can't forget how did I know about this console. I was living in the US with my family and I saw a commercial about this system on TV. I saw the graphics and I was like wow this must be the greatest console with awesome graphics. The controller is a bit weird though. 

The Games
The games are original titles which range from all types of genre. I think the most popular genre is action and racing with the emphasis on aracde sytle gameplay. This is the first time where the games uses 3D graphics so by today's standard is it a bit blocky

The Good 
Some of the games are fun to play but mostly on the racing and action side. Most of the great games are made by Nintendo which some third party companies makes not bad games. 

The Bad
Controls are mostly unresponsive and the games are not that fun. The analogue stick contol is too rigid for the games. Even games like Super Mario 64 doesn't control well. 

The Ugly
Everything. This was release at the same time as the ps1 and yet most of the games didn't hit the mark. With games that are not that fun and a very limited selection of games. 

Conclusion
The Nintendo 64 is part of Nintendo's history. There are a lot of gaming franchise that we made because of this but they were a precursor of whats to come. It was okay but nothing memorable. 

Sega CD  (171 games)

Evil Season 4

Goodbye to one of the best shows I watched 










In this season: There is a new baby from Leland and Kristen. Ben now can see evil and have relapse. David can see what others do and can inhibit the body.  

All characters: All of the characters get their due, to Boggs, Andy (his ending sucks by the way), the four girls and Sister Andrea (which is really one of my favourite character in the show) 

Evil: Evil is everywhere and there is nothing much you can do to stop it. The most you can do is always pray to God to help you be strong and stop the evil within us. This show is one of the greatest show is because it goes deep inside everything that is evil in the world. I don' think that there is another show like this and I'm sad to see it go

Ending: It doesn't end but the Adventure of our 3 heroes has ended. Evil is still around but they will continue what they do best. I am going to miss this show. Maybe I will watch it again when I have somebody else to watch it with. But after 10 years or more

Week 45 - Wife's uncle passed away

This week is a busy week where I didn't have the chance to cook at all since I was busy doing a lot of errands for everyone else. Besides a death nothing too big happen this week. I am fighting my own demons in my head and that is very annoying

Every early morning mom showed us her tour in Eygpt. Is like being there. Would I go there proabaly not

Nov 5
Didn't cook today so did a lot of classes
Wife had a reaction to something so now her lower lip is swollen badly. She had to cancel class.
She gets annoyed at H1 for not being polite that much. I picked her up late today.

Nov 6
I was supposed to send my friend to the airport. Everything was already planned but it didn’t stopped raining since 5am. I was stuck in the city somewhere and told them that I couldn’t make it in time. So in the end they drove themselves to the airport. Parking is going to suck
I found out that one of wife’s uncle passed away. The sad part on how he passed away. He got a heart attack last Thursday (since that was the last they got in touch with him). Yesterday they came to his apartment and the body has already stink up the whole place. The did the autopsy and flew back the body early this morning
Wife was feeling bad for her mom so wife bought tickets for her to go back home. I had to drive them to the airport and we had to check them in. I find it annoying that her husband wanted to follow along since he is a old man and he takes up lots of place and time

Nov 7

Nov 8
Finally cooked some beef Ragu pasta afer a week

Nov 9
Something is wrong with my finger. I hurts it when I bend it. So its really annoying and making me in a bad mood

Next week the only thing on my schedule is picking up mom from the airport and wife has a procedure for her knee. Other that that, Im hoping to finish Nintendo 64 games this months. Only a couple left. I still need to finish the Prince of Persia before getting gamepass.
