Week 565: Return to BOTW

 Weekly Written Review 

My gaming habits have changed. For a good while, I was all about online competitive games. I even hosted several Brawlhalla tournaments last year. Recently, I realized I'm tired of gaming online. Before my trip in June, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild DLC was on sale, I purchased it and it's been a good change of pace. I'm enjoying solving the puzzles and not having to deal with annoying unbeatable online gamers.

Remember it picked up Talk About A Meal immediately and I figured hope was gone for The Late Night Experiment. I was wrong and really shocked it eventually happened. It's just the waiting game now for my titles. It's been almost two months and they're still not live on the 3 selected channels. Only Vimeo. I know it can take up to 12 weeks so I'm patient.

Week 564: Ta Hell With Theives

Weekly Written Review 

One day she has a car. The next day she doesn't. They stole Atarah's car on the night of the 4th. Thieves are truly the scum of the earth. Next to most politians. A week later the car was found. Exciting at first but not worth repair because of the damages. They mainly stole the catalytic converter and her laundry. :-(

Week 562: Surprise! - Long Road to Recovery

Weekly Written Review 

After not seeing my parents for approximately a year and five months (due to the Pandemic) I made a surprise visit after my Colorado trip. Moms did not see it coming. I arrived, called and told her to look for a father's day package that was delivered. I told her they might have put it in the wrong place. She came out and was shocked to see me. It was a lovely reunion. 

I did not sleep at my parent's house for a reason I prefer not to mention. It's nothing serious. I still spent plenty of time doing errands for my mom. I also watched a couple movies with my pop, Dragon Soldiers and One Night In Miami. Aside from that, I was on a mission to recover data from my old hard drives and embrace throwing away old files. I bought a shredder and went to work. My main focus was locating a documentary I completed in 2006. I want the master. To make a long story short, I consulted with three computer experts. None of them could help me. Four if you count my attempt to touch base with Reggie. Ten if you count Best Buy's Geek Squad. Not even they could help me. Ralph The Computer Mentor helped me the most when he suggested the dreaded idea of data recovery services. His scary suggestion lead to more defined research and now I'm thankful that I figured it out on my own. I unlocked something that might have cost me thousands of dollars if I paid a company to do it. It's amazing how much you can do by yourself with the right research, yet, my journey to data recovery is far from over.
