Last month, I started something a little different on the blog.
On the side bar(on the right), I have the "Coffees Consumed in May!" and "Games Played in May" sections.
Now that May is over, I'll briefly recap the coffees I consumed and the games I played during the month.
Coffees Consumed in May:
The Community Coffee Medium Roast Ground Coffee was definitely a "medium roast", and I actually think it is a weak roast. I do not prefer it, but my wife, Mrs. CwG, does like it.
The Folgers Black Silk Ground Coffee is a "dark roast" coffee, and it was my favorite of the month. I enjoy my coffee black, and strong; but not super bitter strong like Starbucks'. I think the Folgers Black Silk has a nice strong flavor, that isn't extremely bitter. The container reads, "Bold, Yet Smooth".
Mrs. CwG, on the other hand, refers to it as "Black Soot"; she thinks its too strong, though she has started mixing it half/half with the Community Coffee Medium Roast sometimes.
The Folgers French Roast Ground Coffee is Mrs. CwG's coffee of choice, and I think it's a pretty good blend. It's a "Med-Dark" blend, and described as having a "Bold, Robust Taste".
The Folgers Classic Roast Coffee Single pack that I had, as I mentioned before, is coffee in a tea bag. I didn't get to drink it while it was still hot, so I really can't comment on how much I would have liked it; though, I will give it another try and drink it hot this time.
The only coffee shop purchased coffee drink, for the month of May, was a cup of Starbucks' Regular Blend. I was out job searching last week and stopped by a Starbucks to inquire about employment, I had a giftcard from Christmas and used it to get a cup of coffee while I was there.
Games Played in May:
Max & the Magic Marker starts the list. I played it, and reviewed it earlier in May. You can read my review for the game, here. As I said in the review, Max & the Magic Marker is fun puzzle-platforming game. If you want a budget priced game platforming game, I think you will enjoy Max & the Magic Marker very much.
The ModNation Racers PS3 demo is next on the list. I have not played it very much, but the few times I did race in the demo, I enjoyed it. I plan on trying the track editor in the next week, and seeing how creative I can be with it.
Monster Hunter Tri/3 is my game of May with the most play-time. I ended the month of May, with an online Hunter Rank 9; we'll see what HR I am at the end of June. I have really enjoyed Monster Hunter 3, both online and off. I think the single-player game is a lot of fun, and still allows people to enjoy the game and the environments. I have not completed the single-player campaign, perhaps I will before the end of June?
Rage of the Gladiator is still being played. I completed the Challenge Mode using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls in May. I had already completed Challenge Mode using just the NES Punch-Out style controls back in March. I am currently trying to get "Rank: S" in each fight using the Wii Remote/Nunchuk controls.
Super Mario Galaxy was only played one day in May. My wife started her own campaign, and I tagged along as the second player; helping collect items along the way.
Last on the list, is UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship on the Dreamcast. I hooked up my Dreamcast again this past week, it was the first time in many years. I had never really played UFC on it, though I have owned it for many, many years. I saw a friend playing UFC Undisputed 2010 this week on his PS3, so I decided to try the game that started the series. So far, it seems like a pretty solid fighter, and like it has a learning curve and not simply mashing buttons to win fights.
Thoughts:
If you are looking for a good strong coffee, I recommend the Folgers Black Silk.
The Folgers Black Silk Ground Coffee was my coffee drink of choice for May.
The games that I played the most in May would be Max & the Magic Marker, Rage of the Gladiator, and Monster Hunter 3.
I recommend all of them for purchases, if people are looking for new games to buy.
Each one is a different type of game, that will have different appealing factors.
If you have any questions about the coffees drank or games I played in May, leave a comment; or send me an email to CoffeewithGames@gmail.com, and I will gladly try to answer any question you may have about the games.
Totals:
In May, I had five different types of coffees, and I played six different games.
