Game Time With Jess: should I work or play Resident Evil 2?

A couple of games caught my eye this week. The first one is Wandersong, which comes out on PS4 January 22. This little guy is all about singing and hope, which instantly hooked me. Don't get me wrong wrong, I love my gory hack and slash, but sometimes you just want something else.

Wandersong's already been released on PC, so I jumped on it and gave it a shot. It's just what I thought it'd be. Cute and whimsical. Rainbow colors exploding everywhere, silly ghosts and a kitty with butterfly wings. You even get dance moves. It's been so refreshing to play, I can't wait to get back to it.


Next up, is Slay the Spire on PC, which leaves early access on January 23. This is one of the few games I purchased in early access and it was already a solid game. Your goal is to defeat monsters as you climb the spire following the path of your choice. You can pick the safe path or the riskier one. Either way, you build your card deck and collect relics as you climb to make yourself stronger. It's easy to play and never boring with three characters to chose from. I'm looking forward to playing the finished game.
Thursday brings Jackquest: the Tale of the Sword to PC. It's an action platformer with pixellated artwork. It's got monsters to kill, loot to collect, secrets to find and, as always, power-ups and weapons. It looks completely fun and satisfying.

But Friday is my big day. I've been waiting months for this. Resident Evil 2: the Remake. I played this constantly when it first came out on Playstation. So, to play it again, but completely overhauled gives me shivers.

The monkey wrench is I also have a short story competition that I'm competing in. The story is due Saturday night. Typically Friday and Saturday are my frenzy days where I'm in the thick of edits and rewrites. Can I finish the short story before Friday? Fingers crossed, cause Leon and I have a date.

Throughout the week I'll stream my escapades on my Twitch channel gametimewithjess. Join me for awkwardness and fun.

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
