The Flog

I will be going to Bangalore to celebrate my wife's birthday. I hate long distance travelling, that is one of the many reasons i rarely explore India. Looking forward to a very great time with my lovely wife. Hopefully, there are some games that i can find there. Of course, i'll be playing Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow along the way. See you later.

The Flamboyant Gamer: Double Dragon

I have never owned this game or even played it when i was a child. Beat em ups are usually not my cup of tea but after looking at some good reviews from others about it, i have to try it myself. The game is fairly simple, B to punch and A to kick. Progress further and gain experience points by beating the bad guys to unlock special skills which can be performed by using a specific button combination. You have to press A and B simultaneously to jump which i find very interesting and different. My first playthrough of Double Dragon, i only managed to reach the 3rd mission. Without using any guide, i didn't know that after beating the 2 Abodos you need to enter one of the caves. If you did not enter the cave and continue to the right, you will start the level again. So, without any guide you'll go to the next stage only if you're lucky enough. I'm not going to tell every details of my playthrough but i'll tell you this. It took me almost 50 attempts until i manage to learn the pattern of the game and finally beat it. I'm not joking at all. Victory is indeed very sweet after the long and hard fight.
A great game for the NES that i find very entertaining . Despite being really tough for me at the beginning i really enjoy the time spent with it.

The Funky Food: Nasi Goreng


Nasi Goreng is basically Fried Rice literally translated word by word english-bahasa melayu. I can eat this a lot. Seriously, 5-6 bowls of it. As usual, my mummy's is the best. I used to constantly nagged her to fix one for me every time i'm hungry. Be it during tea time or in the middle of the night. Now i'm older and married, i had to learn how cook it myself. It took me a LOT of trials until i manage to cook the fried rice almost like my mummy's. Booyaaa!
