Trying To Fix An Old Nintendo (And Somehow Succeeding)

My co-worker was trying to get rid of her old Nintendo Entertainment System, with multiple classic NES games (including Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros 3, and The Legend of Zelda) and different kinds of controllers. Being a sucker for old nostalgic electronics, as well as having an old analog TV in our house, I decided to take the goods off her hands. She informed me that the console does not work, but I figured I would try to make it work regardless.

Super Mario Odyssey: An All-Ages Game For The Ages

Before I get into a proper review of Super Mario Odyssey, I would like to share the moment I fell in love with this game.

Pokemon Let's Go Eevee: The Easiest Pokemon Game Yet

I just finished playing Pokemon Let's Go Eevee. While the game was an enjoyable re-creation of Pokemon Yellow on the old Game Boy Color with some questionable mechanics fit for the Nintendo Switch, the easy difficulty surprised me. In fact, Pokemon Let's Go Eevee is the easiest Pokemon game I have ever played. You can beat every trainer in this game with minimal amounts of grinding for experience, and the game is a great exposure to the world of Pokemon for younger gamers.

My Writing Ideas for 2020

Here we are in 2020. It is a new year (and a new decade), but I am hoping that I can take part in some fun things in this year as I did in 2019. Here are some of my upcoming plans, trips, and ideas I have for 'Cultured Individual' for 2020.

Cultured Individual's Second-Half Recap of 2019

In my first-half recap of 2019, I mentioned that I was going to write a post about my blog entries between July and December of 2019. Well, now is the time where I can share my highlights from the second half of 2019. I would normally write about my hopes for the next year at the end of my recap post, but I will save that as its own post. As expected, I write about travel, video games, local events, places to eat, and share some personal stories.
