The Last of Us

I started playing the Last of Us during Christmas break when many people started uploading their list for top favourite games of the decade and most of them mentioned the Last of Us as their favourite.  While I had played the game a few years ago, I quit after a couple hours because I wasn’t very good at the game.  I’ve never been good at shooting or stealth games, and this game required both skills.  Yet a funny thing happened over the years; I started playing the Uncharted series (a game series from Naughty Dog the same developer of the Last of Us).  Uncharted also required shooting and stealth however after failing at the game many times, I decided to change my mentality.  Rather than shooting and running my way through a level (as I usually would do and fail), I decided to play the game more as it was meant to be played; by hiding, covering, and moving strategically.  This is how I was then able to progress in the game and was able to enjoy the game mechanics and style of play.  I then went on to play and enjoy all the other Uncharted games.

Crispers

I remember when Crispers were first introduced back in the 90’s.  The commercial would ask whether Crispers were chips or crackers, since they were baked not fried yet came in potato chip flavours (currently all dressed, dill pickle, barbecue, ranch, salt and vinegar).  I thought the commercial sucked because it didn’t entice me to want to try them out.  In fact it would be some time later that I actually first tried them; probably because they were on sale.  Since then I have been eating them because they’re so delicious (barbecue being my favourite).  I like the fact that they’re different from any other snack food, especially chips.  We’re pretty lucky in Canada to have so much variety when it comes to snacks like this, which is why I wanted to feature them.
