05.27.26. Angel’s Passionate ’Bout Peaches Smoothie (peaches, passion fruit).

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (N64 NC) finished. Never played this before. While I think this is better than the first Turok game (how it feels, the look, etc), I still found myself getting lost and having to resort to cheat codes to finish it. It's not horrible, but it shows its age.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (N64 NC) finished. I think I rented this in the past because I've played it at least one time. It didn't take long for me to use cheat codes. Invincibility wasn't enough as I kept getting lost in levels. Fought all the bosses before counting this as done.

05.24.26. - Pho Dac Biet - Biscoff Banana Pudding - Nutella Banana Croffle

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 | Power Stone completed. I only played this a handful of times when it originally came out (played 2 way more) and it didn't really click with me. This time I liked it more except for the fights with Valgas and Final Valgas. Simple, short, and sweet.

05.23.26. Cake Sundae (vanilla cake w/cookie monster and cookies & cream)

05.18.26. Green apple smoothie w/mango jelly.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA NC) finished. First time playing it. Played Eirika's path. Much like the first GBA Fire Emblem, rewinds were used a lot, ha. The challenge was plentiful (almost restarted to play on Easy). The story and characters kept me intrigued. Great game.

05.13.26. - Loaded Fries (fries, protein, colby jack cheese, extra spicy mayo, chopped onions, grilled onions, cilantro, fried egg, chilled kimchi) - Dubai chocolate covered strawberries.

Watched The American Gladiators Documentary | 30 For 30. This definitely went differently than I thought it would. I would have liked to have seen more talk about the fun had, stories from the Gladiators, etc, but I understand a larger story behind the scenes needed to be told.

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (GB NC) completed. First time playing this. It's definitely easier than the NES game. The levels weren't bad, but could sometimes feel like you're going in circles unless you find the map. Bosses are sponges and not too challenging. Thumbs up.

BootDaddy Concrete (Andy's vanilla or chocolate frozen custard blended with Oreo, crème caramel and hot fudge).

Puzzles & Colors Games for Kids Toddler Coloring Book Draw Paint (free-to-play) finished. Simple drag-and-drop mechanics whether using motion/touch controls. Coloring is easy too. The free version had 14 to try and each can be finished in seconds. Good for the kid-toddler crowd.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown finished. Played the demo 08.12.24, got it for $10 01.06.25. It's not perfect and could use some polish. The large map is very intimidating. But I overall enjoyed my time with it. Very challenging in combat and level design. Got my money's worth.

04.29.26. 257. Diana Thank you to @gtothenextlevel.com for securing a Diana amiibo for me.

04.30.26-05.02.26.  Waco  - Kettle Corn Popcorn  - Chick-Fil-A Nuggets  - Billy Philly - Bro - The Schmaltz - Baja Shrimp, Steak Fajita  - Reese's Caramel Big Cup, AriZona, Sour Fruit Snacks Mixed Lemonade  - Shrimp and Crab Poke Bowl

04.29.26. - Tamashi's Menn Ramen (shrimp based broth served with a shrimp skewer & bean sprout, chashu, soft boiled-egg, fried onion and scallion) - Spirit Juice (strawberry, grape, apple) - Raindrop on the Boat (unflavor jiggle jelly, soybean flour, brown sugar syrup)

Queen of the Ring was a great watch. While I knew the name Mildred Burke, I didn't know much of her history. I had no idea she went through so much outside of the ring. The in ring action was great. And other wrestling personalities portrayed throughout was top notch. Thumbs up.

Played MLB The Show 26 (Game Trial). Excellent baseball game. With so many options of how technical or not you want it to be, the accessibility is very welcoming. Gameplay was solid and the pace went at a fast pace. Stadium accuracy is also phenomenal. Definitely a thumbs up.

Played the Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok Beta Test. This was fun and challenging. Pulling off a Full or Primal Burst was super satisfying. No hiccups with the online and everything played smoothly. Shout out to my teammates for carrying me to victory. Thumbs up.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 | Street Fighter Alpha 3 UPPER completed. Never played this version of Alpha 3 before. It was great playing with this roster (large variety) as Alpha is my favorite Street Fighter series. The presentation still holds up and is solid all around.

The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels was really good. There's definitely a lot of information that you could get from previous documentaries. The new interviews and footage from current day HBK interacting with talent was awesome. Great watch for any Shawn Michaels fan.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape (N64 NC) finished. First Rayman game I've played to the end (only tried the Legends demo in the past). There were a few times I felt I was fighting the controls or camera. And I had no motivation to collect everything I missed. Not bad, but not great.

04.09.26. The HUNTR/X Meal + Derpy McFlurry.

Terminator Zero was okay. I liked the art style and the action. The story...wasn't clicking for me. Something about Kokoro made me not care for their purpose. The children played their roles well, but I wished there was more focus on Misaki and Eiko instead. Thumbs sideways.

The Mystery of Atlantis (NES NC) finished. I've seen this game before, but never played it. It's simple in gameplay. It can be confusing when you go backwards in zones. I ran into the black hole, ha. If it was a little more straight forward, I would have tried for the secret ending.

Played Stumble Guys (free-to-play). A Fall Guys clone, simple as that. Load times were good, there's a lot to unlock for character customization, and the games are simple and easy to understand. It's fine, but it lacks polish and it's missing the excitement and magic of Fall Guys.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Super Mario Galaxy 2 finished. I have not played this since the original release on Wii in 2010. It's still pretty darn good. Going for all the green stars...not for me back then and not for me now. I still prefer Galaxy 1 over Galaxy 2.

255. Mario and Luma 256. Rosalina and Lumas

04.02.26. AYCE Korean BBQ.

03.29.26. HeXagon bracelet building + Texas Showdown.

Wario Land 4 (GBA NC) completed. First time playing this game. Definitely more polished than Wario Land 3. It was familiar in gameplay coming off of 3, but everything was better. The timer is probably my only negative, but that didn't deter me from completing it 100%. Great game.

252. Elephant Mario 253. Poplin & Prince Florian 254. Captain Toad & Talking Flower

Sour Patch Kids Blue Raspberry (Blended Mountain Dew [replaced with sparkling water] + Sour Patch Kids Blue Raspberry + Sour Patch Kids Bitz).

Biscoff Cookie Butter (one scoop cup).

Wario Land 3 (GB NC) finished. First time playing it. Pretty good for the most part. Ended up getting 75 out of 100 treasures and I was ready for it to be over around 50. It's not bad, but it just kept going. While you get a lot of bang for your buck, I do wish it were shorter.
