Game review: Yummy Drink Factory

In Yummy Drink Factory, you have been spirited away by a witch to a fairy tale land. You need to serve beverages to customers in five different villages. Each village brings you closer to a magical map that will help you get home. When I first downloaded the game, I thought it was going to be a very typical time management drink game. However, there is a little more to it. Instead of just serving pre-made drinks, you need to combine different ingredients to make special drinks for the customers. For example, you might need to make an Iced Mocha with cocoa, mocha flavoring and ice. You get more recipes as you go along, which makes it interesting. I had quite a bit of fun playing this one. It was a really nice change of pace.

Oxygen

Many years ago, before my grandmother passed away, she had a portable oxygen concentrator. The thing was heavy and difficult to move. From what I understand, these things now come in an easier-to-carry form. That would be awesome for the families of the people that need to use oxygen on a regular basis. I can't imagine how much easier traveling with my grandmother would have been if her equipment wasn't so difficult.

Game review: 10 Days Under The Sea

10 Days Under The Sea is an underwater hidden object game. Despite having a fairly difficult hidden object side, there was a more interesting side that involved taking pictures of fish. Unfortunately, that part is only interesting for a few minutes. Then it seems like it's the same fish swimming past. As for the hidden object side, it was semi-difficult because some of the objects are set into the background. This means that they aren't seen as easily as the objects in the forefront. The background objects have a bluish tinge to them, making them hard to see. Honestly, there are much better hidden object games I'd rather play.

JDorama review: Ikebukuro West Gate Park Special

Title: Ikebukuro West Gate Park Special Also known as: IWGP Sp Broadcast date: ?? Number of episodes: 1 Genre: drama Cast: Nagase Tomoya, Sato Ryuta Plot: Taking place three years after the series, Makoto and his mother are currently homeless. She is staying with various friends (like King's father's sauna) while Makoto sleeps in their now-traveling fruit stand truck. One day, a homeless man wakes Makoto to tell him about a rash of homeless beatings. Ken, the leader of the homeless, wants Makoto to find the culprit. Meanwhile, Makoto is feeling restless in Bukuro. What is good: The last half hour or so is pretty good. What is bad: Boring! Letter rating: F Overall: While I didn't particularly like the series, it was at least interesting on some point. The special is painstakingly boring. There's two full-length songs sung in concert form for no real reason. Yes, both of the musical acts are important to either the storyline or a character revelation but the songs weren't really necessary. Kubozuka Yosuke, who played King in the original, is absent for a majority of the show. In his absence, both of the major gangs from the series have set up ramen shops. There is a sub-plot about which gang makes the best ramen. Now I know why I put off watching this for so long.

Las Vegas hotels

I've never been to Las Vegas before but I have a couple of friends who live there. Some of the vegas hotels are absolutely gorgeous! They look more like resorts than hotels! Now that my husband has a new job that will pay him more, maybe we'll get the chance to travel more. That would definitely mean a trip to Vegas.

Game reiew: Farm Frenzy 2

Do you remember how much I loved Farm Frenzy? Well, this is a company that knows how to make an awesome sequel to an awesome game. They didn't try to make the gameplay different; they didn't try to jazz up the graphics. All they did was change a few things to make it a little more difficult. In the original game, you were raising geese and sheep in order to make money. This time, you have chickens, pigs, cows and ostriches. Yes, I said ostriches. I worked my butt off to be able to buy some ostriches because their feathers bring in a lot of money! Not only that, but you can make hats and dresses out of them as well. I love this series and I hope everyone else has as much fun playing it as I did.

Golf can be fun...

While I wouldn't call myself a 'golfer,' I have played the game. It's not my favorite but I did it. My husband has expressed an interest in trying to play. Of course, my over-active imagination started thinking of Orlando golf courses. Not because they are beautiful or good courses but simply because, if he decides he hates the game, we can go visit Disney or something. Might as well make a whole vacation out of it!
