April 6th Entry
Why is it snowing and freezing in southern Ontario? 🤔 Oh yeah, I live in 🍁Canada🍁 after all! 😅😒 Anyways! Let's discuss the latest videos uploaded yesterday, shall we?
Buying a bunch of Ferraris in reality would sound like wishful madness!🤑🤩🤪 But in fake games like Asphalt 8 where making money is easy, that's no problem! Wow!💸 So yes, if you watched the video, you'd know that my motif behind doing this was to get more double tank boosters. The last Championship with the Vanda Electrics Dendrobium was hard on my resources. I figured that the best thing to do with my remaining credits was to buy all the Ferraris in the Red Colts collection, to get the double tank boosters, just in case another hard, but doable, Championship comes around. If you're the type that watches through the ending segments, you'll see a lot of Buick Riviera screenshots. At the time of this typing, I only have one time attack and the Grand Finale left to do later. By far, this has been one of the easiest Championships in a while, and I'm really thankful for that. 👍🏾 Go ahead and call me wuss, boring or whatever, but I can't stand it when the Championships, Research & Development, or Enduro Double Downs are brutally hard! It takes the fun out of it, quite honestly. A game shouldn't demand so much time; it needs to just be fun and high quality. Speaking of grueling events, the Enduro Double Down for the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV has been released yesterday. I've decided to give it several runs, but that's it! I will not attempt to go any further due to the fact that I'll need 16,000,000 credits to complete it safely and with confidence! 😵😱🤯 Why? Because I do not have the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV, Lamborghini Miura, Lamborghini Estoque, Lamborghini Asterion, Lamborghini Huracán and Lamborghini Egoista maxed out! 😨 That's right. If you want to guarantee that you will keep a solid win streak and go through with complete confidence and minimal stress, you'll need to have 6 ultra expensive cars maxed, and pro'ed a little too. ☠ Perspective time!
If I were to go the route of spending real money (hell will freeze before that happens), I'd need to buy the credits pack with 3,000,000 credits 6 times, resulting in a nightmarish cost of $773.94 CAD! 🤢🤮
If I were to go the route of hardcore grinding...um... only God knows how long I'd have to grind, so no way! Not worth it for a game that's not going to offer me any benefits to real life.😑 Oh yeah, before I conclude the Asphalt 8 write-up, can someone tell someone at Gameloft to seriously change the car prices back to normal credits? A lot of longtime cars that have been available for credits have become token-only cars. This has resulted in serious frustration, anger, disappointment and disgust with Gameloft, as seen on YouTube and in the forums. Greedloft, if you want to forever be known as a bunch of desperate money-grabbers, you need to seriously lay off the in-app purchases. In fact, do us a favour and remove tokens entirely from the game! I might honestly consider Asphalt 8 my last Gameloft game, if Asphalt 9 will offer quasi-forced in-app purchases like this.
Julie Payette is the current Governor General of Canada, 29th since Canadian Confederation. So it looks like this may be another one of those schools named after a person that's still living. As you can tell from the video and photographs, there isn't a ton to see, nor was it the sunniest day at that time. Still, it did have a few interest bits here and there, like that blue friend bench above. I was just glad I was able to film two school before the rain came down. 🌧
Two French schools? 🥐 Yeah. One is secular while the other is Roman Catholic. Now unlike Julie above, Jean-Paul was actually a lot more interesting to explore. It also reminded me of Saint Joseph in some ways. This school has some big fields and some playgrounds. Not something I expected from it, when looking at it on the map. I initially just thought that it would have been a boring place, but it wasn't. Want to know something that hasn't been mentioned yet? That ending segment with the flags was supposed to be longer, but the video cut off. 😖 This was due to the fact that the battery didn't have much electricity in it, prior filming the video. The cold temperatures also didn't help. In fact, they were likely what drove it to shut off so early, considering that the battery showed 22% when I booted the Lumia back up at home. Go figure. 😒 I wish somebody would make a weather-resistant smartphone, with a removable battery, 16:9 3840 X 2160 ratio, 18cm of screen estate, headphone jack, capacitive buttons, dual cameras with OIS, 8GB of RAM, 1 terabyte of internal storage and Snapdragon 845. 🤩 Ahhhh, if only....🏝 Too bad every smartphone manufacturer trying harder than ever to be the same these days (2017 - present).😖
The day when I had to let my former Worksmart Bonded Leather Office Chair Black go was a sad one. ☹ Oh well. Nothing lasts forever. So! Rather than buying the same chair again, I figured I'd try something with hopefully better fastened handles: Staples Turcotte Luxura High Back Executive Chair! 😎 At first, I wasn't so sure which office chair to go with. Seriously, there's a lot out there. After doing some research and looking around, I finally decided to go with the Staples Turcotte. It looked nice, felt nice, and was on sale, making it a no-brainer. Hey, I'm sitting on it right now! How was the assembly? Fairly straightforward, except for getting the back attached. 😤 I had to look up how to get that done, out of of fear of tearing something or scraping the handles. Well, the plastic part of the handles ended up getting scraped a little, but whatever. 😐 It isn't anything super noticeable. I'd rather that scrape over the lovely faux leather. Yes, that's right: faux leather. It isn't made of real leather. You may either be really happy, disappointed or indifferent about that. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is said to also feel like faux leather. Random indeed. I don't know what the long term reliability of this chair is like, but I can tell you that it does feel very premium and plush. Let's just hope that it holds up for long. My former chair lasted 4 years, before one of the arm rests had a nail that snapped off with part of the nail stuck in the chair. 😬 Tell be honest with you, I'm not sure how long office chairs are truly supposed to last, but 4 years felt like quite a while. 5 years would've been better though. 😏
You like that Old Williamsburgh Candle don't you? 😜 So yes! After 4 episodes of just static slides, I've decided to do something different for the 5th episode and film a lit candle, while I play music make noise on a tenor recorder. So what's the motive behind this? Do I actually play fancy, romantic or sensual music? Of course not! This ain't no tenor saxophone or something. That's not to say that the tenor recorder can't play such music, but that I didn't have the sheet music for such genres. This brings up the next obvious point: you can't read in the dark! I did mention in the video that I could have just filmed the candle for a certain amount of time and then throw my dubbed "live audio" onto it. I didn't feel like doing that, citing reasons like how it wouldn't feel as "live" or casual if I did that. Then again, throwing audio over the static slides is pretty much the same thing. Only worse, because it's much more boring to watch, hence why this is the first episode without "audio only" in the title. 🧐 One final thing: despite me saying that Episode #6 would feature a candle, that's not actually going to be a guarantee. No, the rest of the episodes will not feature candles, in case anybody was worried about that. Just 5 and maybe 6 for now.
Before we discuss what's next, take a moment to show the following videos uploaded from last week some more love: Chambers Drive Off-Trail Adventure, Asphalt 8: Airborne - Buying the Devel Sixteen With Credits and Discussing the Vanda and Casual Instrumental Noise Session - Episode #4 (Audio Only). Finished? Ok, great! 💝 I hope you left a nice comment on them, liked them and shared them! 🤗
Now for the next batch of videos, you can likely expect a gaming video, Episode #6 and possibly a commentary of the sort. Not much I have to say, so now I shall get this edited and posted.🔍
