Natty Rush Watermelon Smash

-

Natty Rush is amazing! As a man I have nothing to prove to anyone. I will drink a fruity drink and do not care who knows at the same time. They taste sweet with little bitterness. Drinking does not always mean you have to make a disgusted face when you indulge. Hitting the market late October, it has not had much time on shelves. It replaced Steel Reserve's Hard Pineapple for me. Watermelon Smash is the only one I have had but I can tell you it is like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. 

Natural Light is competing with Steel Reserve and the infamous Four Loko. I can think of better ways to get alcohol poisoning besides drinking Four Loko so I always pass on it. 

 Steel Reserve has been my top choice for inexpensive fruit flavored beer with good taste. Most stores around me sale Steel Reserve for $1.89. At QuikTrip you can get Natty Rush and Natural Light for $3.33. I like to stagger my ABV. Always start with an eight percent then go down. No longer feel as hungover the next day. 

Yoshi's Island

The first title that comes to mind for pairing with Natty Rush is Yoshi's Island on SNES. Miyamoto's art design took what the first Super Mario World had and made it more cartoonish. Brighter colors with more of a whimsical feel. Maybe Mario being a baby influenced the art design? Creativity over technical graphics won this battle. Donkey Kong Country showed what the SNES could do graphically, yet Miyamoto stood his ground against Nintendo’s marketing and got the look he wanted. A minor character was given the spotlight and to this day that game still receives praises. 

 My only complaint is Baby Mario's crying. I can hear him now in the back of my head as I type, and it is driving me insane. With how amazing the game is his crying can easily be drowned out. Using the Yoshi’s eggs as projectiles added to his arsenal besides his signature tongue. This mechanic later carried over to more titles featuring Yoshi. 


Bright colorful graphics and amazing gameplay

Secret of Mana

Secret of Mana is the next title I picture pairing well with Watermelon Smash. Game play is much different from Yoshi's Island being that is an action adventure RPG. Square Enix moved away from turn based game play like their famous Final Fantasy franchise. 

The character design is generic, almost as though they were unused character models from previous Final Fantasy titles. The game mechanics are solid with varying weapons. You can control the party and their behavior when it comes to attacking or defending. It is useful when wanting to take a more cautious approach to enemies. Having to charge your weapons for optimal damage kind of gave the game a turn based feel. You could not just smash the attack button but instead time your actions. That game mechanic made for a different challenge. 

One of the best features is that a second or even third player can take over one of the characters and then exit, leaving the AI to take back over. Gives use to the SNES Multitap.

These two video games pair well with Natty Rush. They are both colorful and easy to pick up and just enjoy without too much effort or investment. I will have to try the other two flavors and see what comes to mind. For now, these two tall cans are not going to finish themselves.


Enjoy your drinks and game on.

Three Solo RPG Resources

Playing an RPG solo can be difficult. It doesn't have to be with these suggested resources. I admit that I do not get out as much as I should. It can be difficult some days to leave the house. Especially now that the weather here in Texas has just gotten bad. Not that weather influences my decisions anyway. I do not mind being introverted. Some say I am missing out and I agree to a certain point. I have played DnD 5 th edition online using the site https://roll20.net/ . There is something missing when you do not have that human interaction. I played groups with people all over the world. The problem is you do not know these people and sometimes the group does not always get along. It is easier to leave an online chat versus in person. Instead of meeting faceless people, I would rather play alone. Looks daunting at first. The people I do want to play with have no interest in roleplaying. I understand. Not everyone wants to. I am not always up for going out to game ...

How to make Brass Monkey (My Way for 2019)

I am going to tell you my 2019 recipe for making Brass Monkey. Super simple and you'll be asking why you never thought of it. Been a little while since I have posted. There's a good reason for my absence. It has something to do with this recipe. My new favorite drink. Cue the Beastie Boys. I'm talking Brass Monkey. How did I get to this point in life that the only way to numb the pain is with a 90s house party staple? Well, it all started with underage drinking. Statistically, if you were an underage drinker then you are more likely to become a heavy drinker as an adult. Or whatever. I swear I read that somewhere. I am going to tell you how I create this tangy, poor man's drink my way. First, let's get out the way on how to properly prepare Brass Monkey or specifically what it was and is now. Brass Monkey Original Recipe This may come as a shock, but the original recipe has nothing to do with a 40. In fact, the original Brass Monkey originates back to ...

Adrinkinhandgaming's Christmas Wish List 2019

Christmas is upon us once again and let me be the first to say, "this sucks." But Anthony how could you say such a thing? (If you follow me on Twitter, then you would know my name is Anthony and also you should follow me on Twitter .) Anyway, back to what I was saying about Christmas sucking. It doesn't suck unless you're like 10 and don't have to buy people's gifts. I'm terrible at buying gifts if they are not for me. This is who I am as a person and will not apologize for my flaws. The holidays give me anxiety because I never know what to get friends and family. Even if I figured out the perfect gift, I probably wouldn't have the money to buy it, anyway. So, I'll stick to what I know and that's what I want for Christmas. I have compiled a list of ideas for gamers, whether for yourself or someone else. Hopefully, we have similar tastes because if not you won't find this list useful. Regardless, read the list and maybe some...
