My haul. For some reason NAIRI is always described as a gem. So cheap. Scheming through the Zombie Apocalypse looks like foul mouthed fun. You seem to be a scheming animal tricking others into raiding stores during a zombie apocalypse. Very rude.

Been using Switch UP YouTube channel. They're really good, they do video reviews for so many games the big outlets don't. Really good stuff, lots of best of lists, honest opinions. Weird scoring system but the impressions are so useful you'll get what you like.
Also using this channel: https://youtube.com/c/BudgetGamerChannel His audio quality isn't the best and he frames the videos in an odd way, but he really shows games you probably glossed over on the switch eshop. Most of these games I'm buying are super cheap in the sales and multi platform, usually PC at least. My method is going through the current offers page on the switch shop, there are usually over 1000 games on sale at any one time. You can favourite them and easily check your list via your profile wish list to see what's on sale each week. If I like the artwork I click through, check a few screens and video. Then use YouTube for a video review. Otherwise I use "best of" videos on YouTube. Best switch point and click games etc. It's really opened up and enthused me about games again. Do I want to pay £50 for a game I'll probably never complete. Or many cheaper games I can complete in a week or several days?

Started the Inner World. It cost like £1. I'm starting to wonder if I've become an indie gamer.

Finding it hard to get into this one. The visuals are great, the world is interesting, but the writing is rather flat. There's no great plot so far, a pigeon stole a key and I'm in the city doing stuff to find the pigeons owner. The dialogue is the complete opposite of something like The DarkSide Detective. There's no wit to it. The voice acting isn't bad, it's just they have nothing to work with. And the speech is oddly slow at times, like you'll have a moment of silence then they'll start talking about something else. Then more silence then more dialogue. I turned the Subtitles on so I can read it and skip ahead of the voice acting. I also bought the sequel to this, thankfully its cheap AF. The main character is this simpering, simple English, virginal and boring AF.

Anyone seen this company? It sells cables and adapters that have graphics chips on board. Says it can scale retro and even switch/ps4 etc into 4k images. It has a lot of reviews. I saw a video of one. Detail is seem more close up. Seems decent. May get one, mostly for wii.

I started Monster Hunter Rise. Only created my character and did the first tutorial mission. RE Engine is great, the game looks nice and runs nice even on undocked mode. Now you get a dog and a cat companion! And a bird too!

I'm hoping for more Resident Evil ports now. Also just bought Bastion.
Inner World got better, literally as soon as you get away from the main character. Met a bunch of scientists. Puzzles get a lot better. I think the control interface is the games biggest obstacle, needs a pointer. Most games use a pointer via control sticks and as long as you can manipulate the cursor speed to your liking its fine. Cycling between hotpots with shoulder buttons needs to die. Thankfully I found a trick where you can walk close to the object you need and press Y, which brings up what's closest to you as the first interaction spot. There are lots of out of reach objects though, so shoulder button scrolling is still a thing.

I hear various olive garden and Taco Bell jokes from America and I don't understand them. Why are they bad?

Played Bastion last night, it's basically a beat Em up. So bought Transistor too. 😁
Bought so many games my 256gb sd is virtually full. So I was looking to move across some games to a spare sd card. To do this you need to move it across to the console hd first. I was going to move the biggest file sizes first. But RE Revelations 2 is over 23gb and so big that I don't have room to transfer it back to the console HD even though I only have 1 game on the console HD that's 800mb. Just shows you how fricking ridiculous some of these file sizes are.

Found this channel which only does adventure game content. At first seemed amateurish but is actually pretty good. He bundles together adventure game trailers for upcoming games and talks about them. Also does Let's Play and reviews, as well as demos from steam.

How could you forget my story about Olive garden? What am I finest blogs I think. http://thevgpress.com/#!/blogs/robio-vs-the-olive-garden_3383.html

Anyway to summarize, Olive Garden is a sit down/casual dining restaurant. Back in the 90s it was pretty good. Good salad and breadsticks while the rest of the menu is hit or miss, but it was always a safe bet. Good place for families and if you were traveling it was always a safe bet because you knew what you were going to get. Years ago, give or take something happened to the chain though and they started using poor ingredients or did something different and the food took a really sharp turn downward. Then at some point they just became known for selling memberships where people can eat unlimited amounts of pasta for a month at a time. It's strange why that's a thing, but it is. Anyway, the chain is pretty much a joke for Italian food now. And personally it gives me an upset stomach like no other restaurant does.

Taco Bell on the other hand is actually just a standard Mexican fast food restaurant. There's jokes about people getting diarrhea from eating there, but the reality is no one really does. Maybe back in the 80s someone was getting sick there, but the reality is despite it being Mexican food, it's kind of bland. It's good drunk food more than anything else. But the stereotype about Mexican food kind of hangs around it so people make jokes. In the reality I don't think it stops anyone from eating there though. They are pretty popular.

The only reason we ate there last night is because I let my children choose where to eat this time.  For some reason, my daughter loves Olive Garden, always has, even before she stepped foot in there.  I think there have been Olive Garden commercials during her Nick Jr broadcasts when she was younger and she liked what she saw.  Anyway, I paid for it. I made it to the gas station on our exit...barely.

Everything Robio said about it is right.  It was delicious back in the day, but has certainly gone downhill.

You know you might be right about them advertising on Nick Jr or some block of children's programming. I rarely watched television over the past 10 years unless it was something my son was watching, and that would have exclusively been Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and occasionally cartoon network. I guess the Chuck e cheese strategy of making the kids want to go and then dragging the parents along works.

Once in a blue moon I’ll get a craving for Taco Bell but I do know that in the past there have been questions about the amount of “meat” that they have in their filling.

that ended up being a hoax of some kind. Someone accusing them of putting sawdust in their meat, but independent tests prove that was fake. I know some lawsuits came out of that due to the PR hit, but I don't know what came of it.
