Toasy Review: Spooky's House of Jumpscares

Hello guys, this is me NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread.
Today we're going to talk about the famous cute and spooky game, "Spooky's House of Jumpscares"!
Oh,am I excited for this!


This game just became FREE in Steam, so if ya want to be spooked out by cute things, go and get your own copy now! {Link found below the post}.

OK! So first of all, if you haven't heard or if you don't know this game yet or if you're just a total sissy that doesn't want to be spooked out by ridiculous jumpscares, then I suggest you to get this game!

Because
1. It's cute
Trust me, best thing is that in every safe room where you can save, there's a photo of a cute lil' kitten hanging at the wall to at least calm players down.
(Meow!)

2. It's free
Do I need to expound this part? Ok, if you say so. You can get spooked by ridiculously cute things by paying nothing! How cool is that!

3. As I've said, it's overloaded with cute things
Even when the ambiance of your surrounding environment is spooky and that you feel like somebody will pop out if you look behind, what can I say, they're cute ghosts! (Except for the one that tries to catch you and kill you. Uggghhh I hate that ghost.)

Ok, if you worry about complicated stories and puzzles in your typical horror game, worry no more!
This game only has one objective, go through a thousand rooms in this weird and spooky mansion!

How you got in this mansion, is, well, a mystery. I don't know if going through all the one thousand rooms will answer any of your questions because I myself haven't finished the game.
Also, this game isn't for the weak hearted as the jumpscares can be totally random and unexpected sometimes so, if you have a pal that is prone to heart attacks, I suggest not to let him touch this game, unless he insists of course, in that case, it's his/her fault if s/he suddenly suffers in a heart attack.
With that said, don't tell me I didn't warn you!

Now for the verdict! Drum roll please!
*drum rolls*
I give it a 9/10!
You read that right! 9/10 peeps!
Well, why though? Considering that the only thing you have to do in this game is to go through a bunch of rooms with a bunch of jumscares, why 9/10?

To answer those, let me state this.
The game is new.
The game is cute and spooky at the same time (who would of thought that that would work right?)
And also, it's for free.
It's just been released so I can say that for a new game, it shows potential even when it could use some more work, and I like it.

Ok! So that's it for my review today about the new free Steam game "Spooky's House of Jumpscares"!
By the way, here is the link that all of you have been waiting for: http://store.steampowered.com/app/356670/

This is me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, if you can't take the spooks, then go take a rest from spooky-scary things and take comfort with cute thngs like a small kitten :3

A Toasty Review: Steam Game Fistful of Frags

Hey there guys it's me NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread making a video game review about the game from Steam, Fistful of Frags.

This game is a free western FPS game that uses Half-Life 2 as it's base, but the thing is, it's not a mod, but rather a stand-alone game. Which simply means that you don't need HL2 to be able to play Fistful of Frags.

Now, let's talk about the gameplay mechanics. It's just like your typical First-Person shooter game that has many objectives in-game but it is mainly achieved by killing, or as called in this game, "fragging" your enemies.

Each server for this game has it's own game mode.
Here are some of the many available game modes in-game:
Deathmatch: It's a game mode that is free-for-all. All you have to do in this game mode is to get the most frags you can within the time limit.
Team Deathmatch: This one's similar to Deathmatch, the only difference is that you play as a team. There could either be two teams or four teams.
Teamplay: Like Team Deathmatch, you play in teams. But, unlike Team Deathmatch, this game mode showcases rather different objectives per round.

Funny thing in this game is that, because it uses HL2 as it's base, the game also has ragdoll moments. For example, when a stick of dynamite explodes right in front of you, you suddenly get thrown to the air and a few meters away from where you were standing.
As I've mentioned earlier, this game is a western FPS, which means, that's right, you play as COWBOYS and CRIMINALS, which for me is pretty fun.

The only thing good about this game is that, it's been running for almost a year, but still is running good, they're even updating this game every once in a while.

So yup, I guess I don't need to explain more to this wonderful game.
Anyway, my overall rating for this game is----- *drum roll*
IS 9/10!
OH THAT WAS SO CLOSE GUYS!!! IT'S A 9/10!
But why 9 only Toasty? Well, all I can say is that overall gameplay is good, don't need that much to play this game, no microtransactions at all, and it features lots of game modes that will make sure that you're glued to your seats.
Now, like before, I've said (and complained) this already, toxic players. Yup.
BUT the good thing is that the devs of this game made sure that foul language is out of the game. How, you ask? Well, it's in the chats.
For example, if a player attempts to type in the word "damn", the chat sections won't show the word "damn" but instead the word "dang". Pretty clever right? Well, I think all game devs should consider this when making co-op games.

Well, that's it for this post guys, hope you enjoyed reading through this short review!

Want to play the game yourself? Here's the link: http://store.steampowered.com/app/265630/

Have any suggestions? Give any suggestions or opinions down in the comment section below.
Feel free to like,, share, or comment in this post or any other posts of mine.
Alright guys, see you in my next post, have a Toasty day!
Peace out.

Toasty Review : Gundam RX 78-2 MG ver. 3.0

Hey there! This is me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread!
Today we'll be talking about Gundam RX 78-2 MG scale version 3.0.

First, before talking about the gunpla kit, let's talk about the history of the Gundam itself first.
What is Gundam RX 78-1? How about Gundam RX 78-2? Is he important to the franchise of Gundam?

(Ohhh yes, the nostalgia)
Well, it IS basically important since it is the first ever Gundam that was shown in the first ever Gundam series. RX 78-1 is the first mobile suit in the line-up of the RX series of mobile suits made by the Federation in case you guys didn't know. Along side with the Gundam, the RX series also has the Guntank (RX 75-4) and the Guncannon (RX 77-2). All of which were created by the Federation at U.C 0082.
(RX 78-1, Prototype Gundam)

(RX 78-2 Gundam)

(RX 77-2 Guncannon)

(RX 75-4 Guntank)
Introduction

Now, the RX 78-2 Gundam is the titular Mobile Suit in the Mobile Suit Gundam series and franchise. It is often piloted by the protagonist of the story, Amuro Ray, the accidental pilot of the Gundam.
RX 78-2 was a Mobile Suit built secretly in Side 7.

Armaments

The Gundam showcases different armaments based off of the Prototype Gundam.

60 mm Gatling Cannons "Vulcan Guns"

These automatic cannons are found in the head of the Gundam. It has the fastest rate of fire amongst all the Gundam's weapons. A backfire of this weapon is that even when the fastest firing, it is known that it's bullets has a hard time on penetrating through armor (but it was shown also that it's damage is comparable to it's other weapons when fired at point blank range). It is mainly used for close-ranged combat as I've said earlier that it's pretty scary if fired at point rank range. Other than that, it's also used for firing at missiles, infantry, light armored enemies and vehicles and other light armored aircrafts.

Beam Sabers

As said, the Beam Sabers are it's main weapon for use at close-ranged combat. It uses particles that are stored at the E cap of the weapon that is found at the hilt of the sword. It's also the first known beam oriented weapon that is used at close range.

Beam Javelin

A variant of the beam sabers that has longer range and a more articulate design that can cut through armor more efficiently than beam sabers.

Gundam Hammer/Hyper Hammer

An unusual weapon that is not beam oriented and is used for close-ranged combat. It is a large spiked ball that is attached to a chain that the Gundam can swing at foes and has a rather long and wide range. It was later upgraded to Hyper Hammer that has rockets mounted in it for use in space and zero gravity combat.

BAUVA*XBR-M-78-07G(Bauva eXperiental Beam Rifle Medium Range)

A revolutionary weapon that uses the Federation's E-cap (energy capacitor) technology. It's the main weapon of the Gundam that's the first of it's kind. This weapon gives the Gundam the firepower that's as strong as a battleship's. While it is relatively strong, it has a low rate of fire due to it's high energy output, which is a backfire of this strong revolutionary weapon.

BLASH*XHB0-L-03N/STD(Blash eXperimental Hyper Bazooka Long-range)

This is Federation's answer to Zaku's bazooka, the Hyper Bazooka is a strong long-ranged weapon. It's basically a large rocket launcher that could fire several 380 mm missiles at it's enemies. Like the Beam Rifle, it's backfire to it's strong fire power is it's slow rate of fire and it has a relatively low amount of ammunition. It's perfect for use against slow moving, heavy armored enemies.

RX*M-Sh-008/S-01025 (Renpou[Federation] eXperimental Medium Shield)

The main shield of the Gundam, a hand-carried forearm-mounted or stored on the Gundam's backpack, is a simple shield used for a single sided defense against enemy fire. It could block most ballistic and explosive projectiles. It's also perfect for defense at close-ranged combat as it could be used to parry against enemy close-range weapons. It has a view port for the Gundam to peek at, and it's heat resistant surface could also be used for atmospheric re-entry from space.

My Review about the kit

Well, version 3 of the kit has many improvements from it's past kit models. It's articulations are far better than the previous versions and it is known that this version is an EXACT replica of the RG scale of this model. I mean, it's armor that makes it looks good doesn't affect it's poseability and movement. For this review, let's forget that this is an exact replica of the RG scale kit. It's articulations are what gunpla modelers look up to, and well it didn't disappoint but rather it delivered pretty well. 

Now let's talk about it's colors. For me, I'd say that it's more vibrant even though more simple than the other versions, which I think most of us wants in a kit right? It's combination and intricate design blends well because of the fact that even it's joints have separate armor panels that also has it's own stickers to hide it's inner frame. 

What else am I supposed to say about this kit... hmm.. I know! It's design. The weapons are OBVIOUSLY the same as the 2.0's. To add to that, even the core fighter is the same to the 2.0's that it fits perfectly to the 3.0. But the core fighter isn't needed for the kit to function so you can just set it aside.


Anyways, all gunpla builders know that this Gunpla kit was released like 2 years before, so why make a review? Let's say that this is just the start of my Gunpla kit reviews so yaaaah, don't be so harsh fellow Gunpla builders haha.

Once again this is NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, if you can't build it, then don't buy it! Good gunpla kits needs good gunpla builders if you want it to be a good build.

A Toasty Review: Steam game Fractured Space

Hi there! This is me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread making a video game review of Fractured Space.

Fractured Space is a team based space combat early access game in it's alpha state. It's worth 
$9.99 in Steam and let's hope that it'll stay like that until the game gets finished.
Although, if you got the game when it was featured in free weekend, you'll get to keep the game in your account forever, isn't that amazing?


For an early access and alpha game, it shows a lot of potential to become the next EVE Online like game. It features fast-paced space battles held with ships that you control.
In-game, there are three manufacturers of ships where you get to choose your ship.
First: The United Space Research or USR for short.
The USR's first ship is the Flagship, a large, slow moving ship that can act as the tank of the team as it has high health that it'll take literally at least two or three ships to take down.
Second: Zarek Industrial: Zarek's first ship is the Hunter. The Hunter is Zarek's ship that has average health and overwhelming firepower. It's size is somewhat smaller than that of the Flagship's, but it can also take a lot of damage just like the Flagship. Both Flagships and Hunters can act as tanks in the battlefield.
Third: Titan Defense Systems: Titan Defense Systems' ships are mainly for support purposes. It's first ship is the Corvette, a small support craft. While it can't take that much damage unlike the other two first said ships, it's main purpose is to support it's tanks with healing beams and shields that can turn the tides in-game if used efficiently.

As for now, the game features a single map that has five sectors, each of which can become a battlefield for both teams. The main sectors are the Team 1 base and the Team 2 base. The three other sectors is where most of the battles will occur. Those three are namely the Gamma(middle) sector, the Alpha(right) sector, and Beta(left) sector. (The positioning of the Alpha and Beta sectors depends on what team you are in)
(Mini-map in-game)
As it features 5v5 battles, each team can either choose to have two people in the Alpha or Beta sector, then three at the remaining sector.

There are two ways in which your team could win the game. One is, to gather as much oil as possible by taking control of the Gamma sector and other oil structures found in all other sectors of the map including the bases, or you could simply take control of the enemy team's HQ.

To be able to warp to your enemy team's base, you should take control of either the Beta's or Alpha's bases, marked as red large dots in the mini-map.Once enemies start to attempt to capture your base, the only thing you could do by that time is to take them down. Unlike bases and oil structures in the Beta and Alpha sectors, HQ's can't be recaptured.

As for now, I give this game a rating of 8/10. Everybody who has read my past blogposts knows that I don't rate games that much. I only rate those games that are meant to be rated. Mainly because I also agree with their ratings from other gamers. I only rate games that are SUPPOSED to be rated by gamers who think that it's worth it. And for me, I think that this game is promising. VERY PROMISING.

So, that's it for today this is me NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, games are meant to be played, not meant to be made for profit. If you make games for profit, you should rather consider getting a job.(That's for those game devs that don't finish and make their games right even though their games shows potential in them).

Man's Bestfriend

Hey there guys! It's me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread! Today we'll talk about something different.
It maybe gaming related but it isn't a video game review. Have you guessed what we'll talk about today?
Yes? No? Well guess no more! We'll talk about: A Man's Bestfriend! And you guys know what that is right? Wait, you misunderstood me? I'm not talking about dogs silly! I'm talking about pizza!
How is this gaming related Toasty? Well, very simple. A pizza could simply be a staple food for a hungry gamer! Now, in today's post, we'll talk about it's origins and stuff like that.

So, first of all... where'd pizza originate anyways?

Hahaha all of you might be wondering where, well, that's simple, it originated from the Italian people.The word "pizza" was first documented in 997 AD in Gaeta, Italy, and successively in different parts of Central and South Italy as stated in Wikipedia. It was said that the precursor of pizza was probably the focaccia, a flat bread known to the Romans as "panis focacius" to which various different toppings were added.

Foods similar to pizza have been made way back at the neolithic age. People were adding other ingredients to bread so that they would make it more flavorful throughout ancient history.
It was said that in Sardinia, French and Italian archaeologists have found bread baked over 7,000 years ago. According to Professor Philippe Marinval, the local islanders leaved bread.

So, how's this gaming related again?
Well, isn't it rewarding if, after playing a fulfilling a game of competitive gaming, let's say FIFA or CoD, you get a slice, or even better, a whole pizza? And also, pizza has been known as somewhat a staple food to gamers since it's easy to eat with just one hand.
(Pepperoni Pizza)
Another thing is that it has almost every ingredient that a man needs to be able to survive grinding through hours of gaming. Let's say playing Bloodborne or looting in Destiny. Since there's a variety of pizzas found in every pizza places, even vegetarians can enjoy pizza! 
(Cheesy pizza)
(Pizza with veggies)

SO! Have you tried eating pizza while gaming? If not, then better try do so because whether you're a vegetarian or you want lots of meat in your bread, you can have any pizza! Isn't that amazing? 


OK! So this has been NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, whether you're a pro-gamer, a casual gamer, or whatever gamer, don't forget to rest. Sleep, Eat, Play. Rinse and Repeat.
