Game of the month: January 2019 WWF Smackdown Here Comes The Pain PS2

-

At the end of each month, I will spotlight the one game I focused most of my time on. For January, I spent a good chunk of time on Here Comes The Pain.

I recommended HCTP for a quick game to jump in and out of. Well, I found myself doing just that all January. This won't be a full review because I feel that game deserves a spot on the blog dedicated to itself. 

Instead, I just want to talk about how much I love this game.

Surprise! It's a whole lot.

But...but...what about RE2?


I'm aware RE2 just came out. Do I plan on buying it anytime soon? Not at all. Here's why. 

No money.

I would rather spend my money on the basic essential needs like beer and Mountain Dews. Speaking of Mountain Dew, have you tried the latest Game Fuel releases? Amazing.

Both Cherry and Tropical flavors have a sweet taste with half the sugar of a regular Mountain Dew. More caffeine also. These new drinks are being advertised to be the middle ground between soda and energy drink. I agree that they fit perfectly between those two. 

RE2 will sit on the back burner till I can grab it when it's dirt cheap. A day after release, streamers were uploading S-rank runs and recently I watched a speedrun. Damn, that's fast. There's enough content on YouTube to spoil the game; therefore, it's enough to make me feel as though I don't need to go out and get it anytime soon. All the shock value is gone,

I spoke to a friend of mine the other day about the game and he was explaining how the game mechanics work. He just now text me again to tell me how Mr. X scares the shit out of him. 

It's almost like Capcom listened to longtime hardcore fans and made the game people wanted. 

Here Comes The Pain

I should talk about this game. Eh. Or not. The game has been out since October 2003. If you haven't played it yet, you probably won't ever. Wrestling might not be your thing. You don't have to watch WWE to enjoy this game.


All the male soap operaness is gone when you are controlling the action. You can take a steel chair and pound a guy's head till he bleeds all over the mat. Without all the long drawn out monologue. That's why I play. 

In the off chance you have a PS2 and feel like giving someone an F-5 from the young, rising superstar, Brock Lesnar, then play Here Comes The Pain.

Drink of the Month

Margaritas. It should be no surprise if you have been reading along up to this point. To be specific, grab a Bud Light Lime-a-Rita.

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

Mini Liquor Bottles: The Good And The Bad

-

This post is brought to you by four mini liquor bottles. Small doses but added all up together they give quite the punch. I'm going to name off the good and bad of these little devils. Let’s start positive with the good. 1. Price On average you will be spending anywhere from a dollar to two. Small investment for a quick taste. Beer may not be for everyone. A little bit of liquor makes for a good alternative. 2. Variety Inexpensive bottles are the best way to try out new drinks. A handful of bottles can give you the opportunity to try drinks you normally wouldn't. Not all tequila is good. I managed to find my new favorite today. Only a dollar was spent, and I can live with that. Imagine dropping forty-five dollars on a bottle you hate. I would still drink it. I can't speak for others. Now for the bad  1. Only one bottle Let's say you find a drink you like.  Great. The problem is you only bought one bottle and the li

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
