Switch Games Now

 … on Sale!

Well, it seems Steam is not my only hub for video games. First of all, despite the impressive specs of my iMac M1, the Mac in general isn’t built for hardcore gaming unlike Microsoft’s Windows which my nephew Rocco uses in his handsomely gadget-filled room and is so proud of toying around with.

I don’t have the latest version of PlayStation and I don’t intend to buy one just because it’s the latest high-end console craze. I already have two Nintendo Switches in my possession, the regular one with neon joy-cons and the Lite version in yellow and I’m currently content with my acquisitions. As a matter of fact, I don’t play with them to their full potential. I’m a self-professed casual gamer and I like to play at my own pace. It makes me appreciate the games even more when I don’t act like a mad gamer….like I used to maybe? *It's even becoming more evident now that I just like to buy games for the sake of buying them.*

Anyway, Nintendo eshop recently had a sale which they regularly hold anyway and this time I had the chance to buy at least 3 titles: Super Tennis Blast, 8-Ball Clash and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with prices that were reasonable for me and easily affordable with my “survey money”. After saying yes! to all and playing with them a bit (considering you can really exploit the games till you actually finish the titles which will take hours to do), I have a renewed appreciation for my 2 homogenous consoles/handhelds. 

I already have some good titles on it like Legend of Zelda, Splatoon 2, Mario Tennis Aces, Street Fighter, Dragonball FighterZ, ARMS, Taiko No Tatsujin, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, AO Tennis 2, Gear-Club Unlimited, GRID Autosport, etc… a cornucopia of secondary and primary games all paid with good money but apparently, with all these mostly-Nintendo gaming gems, I don’t play with my Switches as much as I should! Happily, with these three new ones from independent providers, I am back in the game, literally! This is what they look like…


For me, Tennis has always been a game of Geometry. Angles.


Billiards is Physics. Applied Force.

General knowledge. Current events.
[From these three game purchases, it's like happily revisiting high-school really.]


As you can see, gorgeous puzzles are not the only things worth my precious time and attention. Except for Millionaire, I love a regular non-cerebral game just like any other gaming dork out there although I really prefer geek. Now that I've blogged this, I just remembered to buy more Pinball tables on any platform here, here, here. *wink wink*

Happy Ears-ter!

Today is Easter Sunday! Not wanting to pass it up like it was an ordinary day but the beginning of the Advent Season and the end of Lent in the Christian Calendar;  I thought I'd post something special...like this cool Van Gogh Cake art I snagged somewhere on the internets . I wish I'd have a cake as beautiful as this one on my birthday. What follows by the way , is an earful of self-advice that could easily apply to Vincent as well ie, if he were still alive.   This is probably his best form of resurrection though… as icing on a cake, just   like how he would thickly apply paint on a canvas.  Alas, all I have is the Art I get and freely give and although they're not flattering all the time, they're also non-fattening.  It's N O T y e t   my birthday though. It's just a reminder of what's unspokenly in store for me come  May 20, my 60th!  Can you believe it? 00001100001000011100000011100000110001100010000011100111100011000110001100 BONUS Content: OMG. He

Fuck Imelda and her minions!

Choose your battles wisely. Today I choose to wear black in solidarity with the people who remember this day as a day in Philippine History Infamy when Martial Law was declared as Presidential Proclamation No. 1081. I don’t need to elaborate our collective consciousness any further because if you’re still breathing, then you know. NO to the Marcoses who wrecked this country, robbed it of hope and continue to rob it and wreck it mindlessly! Just like genius, idiocy has no limits. At least genius would know how to maintain good composure. So I say vive la différence! Between them and me, let's see who has more mileage. People of the Philippines, if you don’t know where you stand, know the difference between right and wrong or light from dark and choose to be in the dark rather than embrace the light in front of all of us, then anything goes for you. If at this point in time and it’s been 51 years of trickle-down hell, you don’t even care to think about what’s good for you, then no

Ciao Febbraio!

Febbraio in a GIF Ciao Febbraio! Ciao è Ba-boo! Cougar t-shirt. Puma shoes.   I didn't even know it was a Leap Year until Feb 29 came today!  Maybe I really am a cat; born a cat and trying to dive in my own kitty litter of an endless Dune sandbox which I had the opportunity to grab in the mall yesterday. I went to the gym early so I can watch the movie Dune on its opening day unhampered by the usual swarm of mall-goers/movie viewers I anticipated would greet me.  As it turned out, only five people were watching the movie and it was the "weekday crowd"  so...  it wasn't really a problem. Anyway, because of this, I had many chances of getting fairly good selfies here and there.   As someone might say, "the early cat catches the worm" :-)  and that I definitely deftly did. I hope.
