A look at the gaming industry big releases

Newest video is all about how big name, major title games seem to be ruining the gaming industry.  Not good for gamers, not good for gaming, not good in general.  From franchises to lack of innovation, I think gamers need to band together and fix this.  First, most of us need to acknowledge the problem.  So says I, anyway.

Hope that you enjoy and see where I'm coming from with it.  Until next time!

Exciting weekend outing!!!

So this past Saturday was super epic awesome s'more brownie day.  Following that, Christine and I decided that we needed to have a 'real' Spring Break.  You know, at the very end of what was supposed to be a full week of break.  Meh.  Anyway, she had the great idea to head up to Lake Travis and do some jet skiing!!!!  SCORE!!!!  For like an HOUR!!!  Cause we got BANK!!  Yea rental fees take both our cards and split that sh$& straight down the middle to not have just one of us taking the burdon of cost!!!  FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FTW!!!!!!

Also we brought sunscreen.  Cause, you know, the sun was sort of out.  And UV rays are bad.  Have you seen my video on light?  If not, do so.  Talks about that.  Nifty.

Anyway, here you go.

Yea at the dock ready to go!!!  Also, it was kinda cold so she didn't  even take off her jeans.  Weird-o.

Panorama of awesome!!!  Also Christine's weird face.  Whatev.

KING OF THE.... ummmm.... JET SKI!!!  YEA!!!

Awww.... now she's queen of the jet ski.... :(

Yeeeeaaaaaa controls!!!  And some land of some sort.  I think the fastest we went  on the lake was about 64 km/hr.  Not bad, if I say so myself.  Also, got serious air at one point.  Christine did not approve.

The marina we rented from.  This is us actually waiting to return the ski.

Still waiting.

Sign just off of the marina entrance.  Because all water adjacent roads need the 'oh SH$&!!' moment.

After we were done with our awesome hour of jet skiing, christine wanted to go to a really good BBQ place at an outdoor mall (pretty posh place, I might add).  To give you an idea of the poshness, the Austin Martin, Mini Cooper, Ferrari, and Lotus clubs were all meeting together.  Really nice cars, but the people seemed like dicks.  Anyway, we go to the BBQ place and turns out it's closed for the season :( .  What does that mean?  I don't know.  But we can't have briscit.  So I got $10 worth of saltwater taffy at a candy store there.  Noms.  Then we took a couple pictures.  It is a very nice location, overlooks the lake.

All the above are from a balcony-ish thing atop The Oasis.  Gorgeous view and a lot of restaurants that overlook as well, but they're, you know, really pricy places.

Post jet skiing, staying up until 2:30 for the brownies, and no breakfast meant we were hungry, but obviously not BBQ she wanted, so we settled on a favorite of ours, HOMESLICE!  And no, not just because it sounds gangsta, but rather mostly because their pizza is super awesome.

Christine like pizza margherita... nom nom nom.  This pie is, sadly, gone now.

So that was our trip.  It was pretty awesome and, though I almost fell asleep driving on the way back (super jealous of Christine, in that regard) we made it back and had a great time.

Back to our regular grind this week, though, and I'm working on a couple of video projects for various things, hopefully I'll be posting my newest one for this blog pretty soon.  Until next time!!

Weekend Food Om Nom Nom!!!

This past weekend (on Friday, Saturday ish), Christine had the awesomely amazing idea for a dessert.  Are you ready?.......

Brownie S'Mores.

O

G.

I was like shea!!!!  Thus we began.

Gram cracker crust (bit of butter and honey added to keep the structure) and scratch made (oh yes) brownie mix

Pour the SCHIZNIT!!!!!  Mmmmm..... brownie.

Marshmallow fluff added atop brownie layer post-brownie baking.

Like a parfait, we have layers.  In this case, layers of awesome.

What's better than a marshmallow?  Yes, toasted marshmallow.  In this case, torched bruleé style.  Part to enhance flavor, but also to give a decent, solid surface to put more brownie on. 

Mmmm.... more torching.  Also angry birds.

Second brownie layer is slightly... ummm.... bumpy, I guess?  Marshmallow fluff does not spread well.  But we'll still try it anyway.... aaaaannnnnddddd

GAAAA!!!!  It's alive!!!!  Literally.  It looks alive.  But no.  It's not.  Fluff expanded and pushed up the second brownie layer.  Not bad, but not great.

In the end, we did still get our layers.  Bottom brownie came out a bit mushy, but still super delicious.  So now we know for next time :D

The torched fluff def. made a difference.  I could certainly taste the awesome, but subtle, camp fire style taste it gave.  Next, we make sure that A) bottom brownie cooks more initially, B) less fluff, and C) more even brownie distribution.  Still awesome, though.

Blinding with SCIENCE!!!

Time for another awesome video about SCIENCE!  This one talking about the EM spectrum, focusing on visible light.  Plus just a dash of non-visible UV light.  Fun stuff and hope that you learn a bit!

P.S. Today was the day I hit 200 views to my blog!  Regardless of if a large portion were to stat tracking sites, I'm ecstatic!  Hooray!
