Another game that has been holding my attention lately has been Matchington Mansion. The basic premise is that an author leaves you her house after dying of old age, and you and your friend are fixing the house up. In other words, it is a Match-3 game. It is a concept that has been done a couple of times in different settings but for some reason, I love this one. It might have to do with the fact that the best friend has a likable personality or the fact that I don’t have to wait hours on end in order to play again. The levels also fluctuate in difficulty. After an especially difficult level, the difficulty slightly ramps down a little bit. Also, after introducing a new gameplay dynamic, the difficulty becomes easier before slowly ramping up again. I like the art style and story. Other games that I play with this style don’t have this story component, which means that I don’t have a need to go back. I have played a couple of these types of games, I usually become bored after a couple of days of play. This one, I have been playing for the last couple of weeks. I think the short refresh time helps keep my interest. I would definitely suggest this game. You can get it on Andriod, iOS, and different online platforms.

Bringing Sugar Back to the Land
A mobile game that I come back to time and time again is Bakery Blitz. It is a game where you create different sweets for the impatient customers that come to your counter. The art style is cute and bubbly. The story that goes on in the background is also interesting, and from the updates that I’m seeing, the story is going to get juicier. So far, the people have forgotten what sugar is, and you have to remind the people of it. I also enjoy the different worlds you explore. Each one is based different sweets. Every character also has a different personality and a different design. I absolutely love it. From the worlds I have yet to explore, there are a ton of new characters to be introduced to and fall in love with. This is a game that even when I rage quit, I keep coming back to test my skills.
You can get this game from Andriod and on different online platforms.

How Does It Hold Up: Ghost Whisperer
A show that I remember watching with my mom all the time when it was on was Ghost Whisperer, so when I saw it on Hulu, I had to soak up the nostalgia. You can pretty much tell what the show is about from the name. It was a show that started up strong, and then towards the end, you could tell that it had started to dwindle. It was a show where I feel like they felt like they forgot the background plot line along the way. Two major antagonists disappeared off of the face of the Earth and were never mentioned again, even though they were a major part of the show. I also want to say that the last season was the weakest. They introduced a child character that was not written well at all. It was very hard to believe in him as a child character. They tried to make him to focus, but did not spend time developing him. He felt very stagnant and didn’t evolve over time. The first portion of the show was definitely the best. It was cheesy, but a good cheesy. The latter parts felt like they were running out of steam and had no clue what to do. It felt cheesy, but not in a good way. I watched some of the later episodes with Panda (my roommate for those of you who don’t know her), and she was flipping out. She can only tolerate so much cheesy, and she was not willing to suspend her disbelief, and I honestly don’t blame her. I might watch this show again at a later time, but I would personally stop towards the end of the fourth season. After that, I would spend the entire time rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness at some of it.
If there are anymore older shows that you would like for me to watch, feel free to tell me in the comments. I’m always looking for something new to watch. I’m a binging maniac.
New Uploading Schedule
For this upcoming semester at school, I have decided to update my uploading schedule for this blog. Instead of my trying to upload on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have decided to change it Tuesdays and Thursdays. This will help me a whole bunch for the upcoming semester. Instead of worrying about trying to uploading three times a week, I will only have to worry about two times a week. This will take a huge load off my chest. If there is something really important that I want to talk about for the week, I’ll post it on Fridays at my usual time of 10am. This last semester at school was really hard for me, and I want to take this semester a bit easier for myself. I will start uploading under this new schedule next week. I hope that everyone understands. If there are any questions or comments, feel free to leave it in the comments section or email me about it.
PINEAPPLES!!!
A movie that I have been super excited to see has recently come out, and it was everything that I could have hoped for. Actually, it could have done one thing and it would have been perfect. I’m talking about Psych: The Movie. If you haven’t guessed, the one thing that could have made it better was my favorite character, Lassie. I missed him so much. They did this CGI Lassie that was pretty noticeable, but it was enjoyable none-the-less. It felt like no time had passed between the original show and this movie. All of the chemistry was still there and had some of the jokes that everyone loves. They brought back some of the best villains for small cameos. *Insert fangirl squeal* I would really love for the writers and producers to do something else similar to this. I would greatly enjoy it. Anyone who loved the original show will love this. It’s also on the USA website, so you don’t have to pay to watch it. I would definitely suggest supporting this movie. It was beautiful, and I really want more.
Sweet Little Animal Friends
My latest gaming obsession has been Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. It’s really adorable, and I play whenever I have the time. At the time of writing this blog post, I am at level 33, and I have 20 animals that can come to my campsite. For the people that have no clue what I’m talking about, leveling is through the relationships that you make with the different animals that live in the camp. The closer you get with animals, the higher you level gets as well as your friendship. In order to get animals to your “home” or campsite, you have to reach a certain friendship level and have certain items at your house. The higher the friendship level, the harder it becomes to get to the next level. In other words, if you have yet to start this fun game, you should really get on that. Playing this game is what you need in your life. It is available for Andriod and iOS. Since having friends is essential for this game, my friend code is 1892 9004 070. Feel free to friend me. Hope to see you in the woods.
How Does It Hold Up: Will and Grace
Before the start of the newer show/season, I thought it would be a great idea to rewatch the original. It took me a while, but I thought it would be great since I didn’t really have much of a memory of it, though I do remember a couple of episodes here and there. It started out really well. The first two season were really good, followed but a couple of mediocre seasons. I would definitely call the final season my favorite. Of all the characters, I would say that Karen is my favorite character. She is slightly mean (insert sarcasm), but you know deep down that she would anything for her friends. Some of the many things that I didn’t like about the show include Will and Grace being self-absorbed at times where they really shouldn’t be, making fun of moments and things that really weren’t funny, and exclamations of the f-word. At this point, I’m fairly confident that my uncomfortableness of some moments is because of how things are now versus how things were then. The audience was laughing at things at I just was uncomfortable with and couldn’t really understand. At other times, I was amazed that Will and Grace’s friendship stood up against some of the things that they did to each other. That aside, I’m excited and scared for this new season. I hope that everything is updated for the times, the chemistry is still there, and they don’t ruin the great ending that the original series had. I’m crossing my fingers for the foursome.
The Wall Between Us
As the new addition in the genre of “cute girls doing not so cute girl things,” there is Princess Principal. It’s a historical-ish drama taking place in what could be an alternate Berlin Wall situation taking place in England. The country has been torn apart into a monarchy and a commonwealth. There to make sure the country as a whole does not get overrun by those that what to ruin in are a group of young spies. They are all amazing, well written, and have great chemistry with one another. The story, for the most part, is told out of order, but one can get the gist and see how much they care about one another. It’s a great show that needs a sequel. I NEED to know what happens next. There was such a huge cliffhanger.
The Bottomless Pit
If there was a hole to the center of the world in your hometown, would you go into it? That is the story of cave raiders in Made in Abyss. Made in Abyss is a heartwarming show as you follow two cave raiders into the Abyss. One is a human, and the other is something from the Abyss. The two of them are really sweet together, and they meet a bunch of interesting people. Even though the manga hasn’t finished being written, I felt that it ended well. Other shows that finish before the manga ends usually have horrible endings that make no sense, but this one was still amazing. I really want to show in continue, but according to some people I have spoken to, the manga is nowhere close to a point where the anime can continue. It might take a while, but I’ll be here waiting to see what type of adventures our two protagonists go on next.
