Go race a real bike instead of playing Monster Motocross

-

Redbox is a deal. Gamefly might be better, but for now Redbox is my go to for new games. $3 a night is steep for a rental. Compared to full price $3 isn't bad especially when the game is hot garbage.  

My dad wanted to give Monster Motocross a try, so I took him around the corner to the nearest Redbox. Afterwards we went to QT for some 40s. That was one of the only positives of the night.

The game file isn't large so installing was a breeze compared to some other games we have got in the past. From the first couple of minutes I could tell Monster Motocross was going straight to the list, the "Games that can go fuck themselves" list. 

Game Modes


Career is there but didn't bother with it since we only had the game a night. There's all the usual racing modes like time trials and open track racing. No fucking multiplayer unless it's online. Bullshit when you have people sitting next to you with a controller in hand wondering why they can't play too. What racing game doesn't have that mode? 

Audio


Have you ever played a game that had one menu track? Common. Has that been the only track the game had? Probably not. Unless you're playing fuck ass Monster Motocross. One track is all you get. It's not even that good either. The bikes during racing sound good. In-game sound design is impressive up until the revving of your bike becomes more annoying than real life. We had to turn off all audio for this game. That bad.

Graphics


The graphics are impressive. One of the only redeeming factors of this game. I feel like they put all the budget in the graphics and said, "fuck it, ship it." Watch gameplay to see what I'm talking about.

Controls


Here is my number one complaint about this fuckfest. I would imagine I could sign up for a race right now without any experience and place better than I ever could in this damn game. The controls are fucking horrible. It's dirt bike racing not fucking Gran Turismo. It was easier to control supercars in a racing simulator that is Gran Turismo. One mistake and you will be lucky if you catch up in the race. God forbid you make two because then you might as well turn off the game and do something productive, you know, like actually race a real bike. Maybe I should have adjusted the sensitivity. You would think straight out the gate the game would be forgiving. Nope. The tutorial is screen on the text you have to go hunting for. Not that helpful.

Overall


Fuck this game. I am 15% Monster and still I couldn't play this game. Good thing it's not full price like others on the shelf. I want my $3 back. The best part of the game was the loading screen, so I could drink my 40.


Go ride a real dirt bike or drink 40s looking at a blank screen. But if you are a huge motocross fan than give it a try, drunk that it is.


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...
