Off Topic Chatter

**PSmonkey** · July 8th, 2006, 19:35

While i'm swimming on a caffeen high. I feel like doing some off topic chatter (something not emu or coding related).

Anyways first up. I found the drink of the monkey gods. Its a chocolate frappé from van houtte. Sure while i've had them before, what makes the one i had today better is how it was made. Pretty much find a van houtte (if you're in canada) that has crushed iced. Order a chocolate frappé that has 3 shots of expresso (normaly its 1 or 2). Also make sure they put a reasonable amount of chocolate in it (some times some places skimp on the chocolate nor put any chocolate surup in the cup).

You should pretty much be loaded on expresso and chocolate by the time you finish it. Its really gooood and makes for a great drink on a hot day.

Second thing, GO BUY BRAVE STORY PSP. While the game is somewhat of a final fantasy 7-9 clone, it's hands down the most visualy impressive psp game out right now. It easly can be mistaken for a ps2 game, even when you focus hard to see if it holds up. The only real issue i see in the game is some town enviroments are meh & the game lacks blending animations (heavly aparent at the start of the game but less so when you get into the game).

Here are some useful links.
