Throwback Thursday: Games

So when its cold outside, I don't really love going out... and a lot of times I'll just stay home, listen to podcasts and play games on the computer. And There is always a bit of nostalgia because I don't play these gams often but yeah.

First off the big throwbacks are the Disney Channel Games that I pretty much grew up with as a kid. I started playing the game 625 Sandwich Stacker because at the time I'd been playing a lot of Sky Burger, which I mentioned in my January It List I believe... anyway I started playing this again... and its fun but it isn't that interesting. Its maybe a little harder than Sky Burger because you can't stack things up too high, but its also super easy to just make a really small sandwich, get a few points and then just move to the next round, so I kind of like that Sky Burger forces you to make certain kinds of burgers. Its still really fun though, its cute and it brings back fond memories.

I also played some Kim Possible games. I started off with Bueno Rufus... which is an incredibly stressful game to me. Its like you work at a fast food place and you have to get a certain number of orders ready and it gets really hard when they give you two things because they're fast and far apart. And then I think of all the customers getting the wrong order and they must be really sad... another thing i dislike about Sky Burger lol. Very sad. At least in 625 Sandwich Stacker, you're just making your own sandwich. You have some control. Lol.

Most recently I've really been liking Minion Rush. They did some updates to it recently that I wasn't really all that fond of... but i've gotten more used to it and I'm playing it quite a bit now and I've really been liking it. Its fun and addictive.

I've also been liking some word games. I started playing flower garden and text twist and now i'm playing bookwork, which is probably more well known. Idk its just fun. I always feel so stupid because my words are so short. Lol.

And I used to really like Burger Shop 2, which is the same sort of concept as Bueno Rufus, but not quite as stressful. You need to make the food for customers and sometimes they get angry and leave and sometimes they are more patient. Fun game, good to play on cold days...

And not a lot, but I have been playing some of an ipad app called "all in one solitaire, which just has a bunch of solitaire games. My favorites are Penguin, Gaps, Accordian, and Crescent. Its not easy to win any of these, but they're still fun to play.

So that is everything! Hope everyone is having a fun Throwback Thursday. Do you play any of these games? Let me know!

Byeeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
