Videogames and Albums I listened to and played

-

You know already how I don't listen to video game music while playing. I am going to give you three albums that I paired with a game. I burned a hole through both. 

1. Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance and Nirvana's Greatest Hits




I don't like Nirvana. I was a dumb teen that didn't know any better. At the time it felt right, like I felt the music or some other dumb shit. Looking back, I don't even like them all that much. So many "Smells Like Teen Spirit" inspired Kenshi combos. Not proud to admit that. 

Grunge isn't my thing. I love what came after, NuMetal. That's my shit! I get down to some rap rock. I grew up with it so fuck off if you don't like some Limp Bizkit. I know you do. 

Deadly Alliance was fun since there was nothing else to play like it. I think it was a good move that broke the mold as far as what Mortal Kombat was known for, 2D fighting. The chance to chain-link combos using all the fighting styles was a challenge to master but worth it. Tons of unlockables that added to it's replay value.

2. Final Fantasy 7 and Orgy's Vapor Transmission




 I still remember that summer like it was yesterday. I played the hell out of FF7. So many hours put in to that game because as a 15-year-old there is nothing else to do. Then again, once you start you're not stopping. I have grown-up shit to do so I can't invest the time it takes to enjoy that game like it's meant. 

I played the game years after it came out so going online reading GameFAQS wasn't a big deal to me. I wanted to fully immerse myself in the world and unlock everything. 

Sephiroth was a beast. I listened to One Winged Angel for sure when I battled that larger than life boss. for the most part I had the album on repeat. Last year I got to see them live. It was one of those concerts I thought would never happen. Hell of a show.

3. Rygar and Korn's Issues




 Rygar is underappreciated. I'll be writing that one up for sure because it deserves a post just like FF7. A few months ago, I fired that game up and I can say it holds up to this day. Lots of secrets that I'll have to GameFAQ. 

No shame in my game. 

Issues is when Korn's sound changed. Majority of the band went clean and you can hear the difference in their music from that album on. I grew up on Korn thanks to my dad. Their first three albums are the best in my opinion and any given day I'll name a different one as my favorite. Issues was more heartfelt, and I can appreciate it as a fan.
  
There are so many more albums and games I could talk about, but three for now is good. I want to hear what you pair with albums. Tell me in the comments and I'll play the game and listen to the album. 


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...
