Number Two (Numero Dos)

Yes, I'm still blogging. I've decided to go with a classic video game review and a new recipe with each blog. Some recipes will be normal food most people would enjoy and some will be of food you pretty much had to grow up on to like. I'll specify at the beginning so you'll know if you want to actually make it. I still haven't learned how to do fancy stuff like skip lines and indent so this blogs gonna be another wall of text, but I'll try to figure it out later. (No promises.) Anyways, without further adieu (that's french for something) I'll move on to my video game review...

The game of the day is Angband. This is probably my favorite old school dungeon exploration game and it's also the oldest I've ever played. The game came out in 1985 and is 100% textbased. You play as a cute little @ symbol and battle hideous monsters such as "G's" and "L's". On a serious note, the gameplay is incredibly indepth for such an old game. There is more spells, gear, and different kinds of monsters than pretty much any game that's come out recently. That's the benefit of games that aren't graphically intensive. The game is based off of Tolkeins middle earth and you run into boss monsters like Smeagol and Sarumon. The only problem I have with the game (which also happens to be something I love about it) is there are 100 levels of the dungeon and I don't think I've even made it to level 30 yet. The game is freaking so huge it can be frustrating at times. The reason I have this love hate relationship with that aspect of the game is every couple months I go back and play it and still find new things all the time. The game is set up so that you aren't "supposed" to be able to save after death (i.e. once you die you have to start over for those that only play modern games) but it's pretty easy to get around that. If you want to check the game out and decide you need to save shoot me an e-mail or give me a call and I'll tell you how. Here's some screenshots so you can get a visual of what I'm talking about.

Now, I think it's time for the recipe of the day, and the winner is (drum roll...) Cheesy Potato Soup!!! This is a recipe that is extremely easy to make and it's completely normal. It looks fancy too so if you want to make someone think you're a great cook but you are low on funds and talent this is the recipe for you. What you need is a couple cans of campells cream of potato soup, about a cup of milk, shredded cheese, bacon bits (real bacon bits, not bacos) and chives (optional). I also like to use a pinch of basil and oregano but if you don't have a spice rack you don't have to use that either.

All you have to do is dump the soup into a pot and add milk until it's creamy (not watery.) Add your spices while it's heating up. When it's hot sprinkle in the cheese and bacon bits. I'm not big on measuring things out so just add a little bit at a time until it tastes right. When you're done pour it into bowls and sprinkle some more cheese, bacon bits, and chives on top. (That's what makes it look fancy.) It makes about two big bowls. Use one can if you're making it for yourself or use more cans if you're making it for a group. Just use less or more of everything else proportionally. That's what makes it so easy. You can't really mess it up.

I think that pretty much sums up todays ravings. Check back often as you never know when I'll be motivated and bored enough at the same time to do this again and remember, all generalizations are false, including this one. Have a great day.
