I decided that you only live once

Rather than dwell about things I can't control like my masters (which technically I can) and other stuff. I decided to take things one day at a time. Any Up day is considered a good day. I finally manage to post my GPD after going around town looking for the exact screwdriver to remove the battery from the unit (it turns out that the battery is 500g of the weight)

2) Post the gpd - Down

5) Going for wedding rehearsal and family dinner - Up
6) Actual wedding, tiring but fun - Up
7) Lazy Sunday - Up

Lots of drama... and my GPD died

This week was supposed to be a new week of work. But we got a call from the school saying that my 7 year old got kicked and teased until she cried. My wife was livid. We went to the school and try to confront the principle. The principle told us in passing it was not a big deal (for another kid). My wife told that kids parents and then my wife got yelled at at the principles. The thing is my wife got a lot of repent anger stored up. She then suddenly burst into her angry mode (which I hate to be at the receiving end of). After that they all cool down and things we back to normal. The boy was suspended for 1 week.

Other than that, my Win 2 experience a faulty LCD ribbon. When checking online, the installation looks extremely complicated. It's still under warranty so it's off to china

3) Another day nothing to show for - Down

My masters in going nowhere

This week is about my masters. I think its becoming harder and harder to concentrate. I don't have any excuses for it but I don't have any urgency to do it. My wife is not helping me by giving me a pep talk. Which rarely works. Besides that my beautiful Hany is turning 7. We spend 1000 for her party and got gifts more than the amount. All in all I say it was a good deal

3) Today was a bad day for her (next morning) - Down
4) She didn't went to work - Down

6) Hany birthday party - Up
7) Hangout with brother in law and his new wife - Up

Super Mario Party

Another Switch must buy 

Game no: 307
Genre: Board (Party Minigame) 
Platform: Nintendo Switch 
Released Date: 2018

Image result for super mario party

What is it about?
Mario and friends are having a having a board game minigame party

What I liked?
- Out of the 80 minigames, more than 65 are considered fun. The motion controls are a hit and a miss though
'- There are a lot of modes to choose from such as, board game, tag team board game, mini game party mode and a single player mode
- Each character has their own unique dice which provide a certain element of strategy to the game
- Getting a ally will land you in more dice roll. It seems that there is no limit on how many ally you can have in a game
- Playing multiplayer with actual people is fun and hectic. You can't tell who will win unless there are already 3 stars ahead of you

What I didn't liked?
- The motion control games are very hard to get it right. 
- The interactive things on the board are not as robust as previous mario party
- Rumble minigames 
- The fact that this game loses appeal once you completed everything. There are stickers and such but you are not missing anything 

Status: Finish the game with all boards and characters 

Fun Factor: An excellent party game for the Switch.
