Viva Puffs Cookies

Viva Puffs are cookies that are filled with strawberry filling, marshmallow and coated with chocolate.  I eat Viva Puffs like a vacuum.  I barely open the box and I start vacuuming them down my mouth like they’re pills to swallow.  I don’t know what it is, but I love them.    These are the best (or worse if you’re on a diet) when you’re gaming because, you just open up the box and start jamming them into your mouth.  The best gaming junk foods are the ones you pop in your mouth blindly (and don’t leave you with messy fingers).

While Viva Puffs have been around for a long time in Canada, it wasn’t until I was older that I started to appreciate them.  It’s like one day I just decided to start eating them, and now I can’t stop.  Besides strawberry filling, Viva Puffs come in other varieties such as raspberry, fudge and candy cane.

'47 CLEAN UP Adjustable Hat

I’ve been a die-hard '47 Brand fan for years now, specifically their “Franchise” style hat.  I’ve owned various teams and colour hats, but always in the Franchise style.  Yet I never bought an adjustable version because I didn’t see the purpose of buying another style hat if the Franchise was already perfect.  This all changed recently one day when I noticed two Maple Leafs hats that came in the current Leafs logo from '47 Brand.  However I was shocked when I picked them up to find out that they weren’t the Franchise style, but rather an adjustable style called '47 CLEAN UP.

While in my hands I noticed that the quality was really good.  I then tried them on, and they also looked good on my head (after a little adjusting).  I then decided to give them a try, and so I bought them.  My only concern was the buckle on the back.  When I was younger I owned a Celtics hat that had a leather strap-on, and the metal buckle would always dig into my head when I hit something.  Anyway after a few weeks of wearing these hats, I have to say the buckle and strap hasn’t been a problem and in fact I haven’t even noticed it (I sometimes forget that I’m wearing it).  So overall I’m glad I bought the '47 CLEAN UP and I highly recommend it.

Zelda Hylian Shield Hat

I’m not much for wearing video game apparel, but when I first saw this hat I knew I had to get it.  It features the Hylian shield from the Legend of Zelda on the front and comes in this blue colorway.  It also has a strap on the back so you can adjust it to any head size, thankful it fits my big head.

The hat was made by BioWorld, a company that makes a lot of video game and pop culture apparel.  I’m not much for wearing video game stuff (I hate the attention I get), but the design on this hat is simple and clean.  It’s so nice I had to collect a few more hats, lol.

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.
