#BostonVaxCardPRNightmareResults

            It has already been over two weeks since the vax mandate initiated in the city of Boston.  The initiation began earlier on January 15^th.  Many restaurants, bars, and other entertainment venues within the Boston area check for both IDs and vaccine passports.

            So at this point, now is the time to ask… how has the vaccine passports been going so far in Boston?  What kind of changes have been brought upon this city?  And how have the restaurants been faring with this new ID process?

            Well folks, it is just NOT looking good for Boston… at ALL.

            A recent data chart from OpenTable revealed that reservations for restaurants were down 48% this year compared to January 2019.  Other popular cities like Miami and Las Vegas saw an increase of reservations (Miami had over 14% and Las Vegas was 1%).  Other cities that were also seeing a decline included San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Brooklyn, and even Cambridge.

            Oh wait, and it gets even worse.  Since the mandate began, restaurants in Boston have been losing $15,000 a week.  $15,000… a WEEK.  It doesn’t take a mathematician to know that $15,000 a week easily becomes $60,000 a month. 

            All of these percentages and decreases make for one horrid PR nightmare for Boston as well as other cities.  While Miami and even Kansas City see more customers dining in restaurants, Boston continues to see more and more empty seats in their dining establishments.  Interestingly enough, Miami doesn’t have any vax passport mandates.  There is no entertainment happening simply because customers aren’t coming into the city for entertainment.  That only results in 48% decrease and $15,000 a week going down the drain.

            The city of Boston, as well as other cities seeing the decline, can bounce back.  Only thing is it will take a bit longer for some, especially for those seeing over 50% decrease in reservations.  It’s the kind of PR nightmare that will take quite a while to recover.

            January and February are known to be the toughest months ever for restaurants in Boston (or in colder areas in general).  These restaurant reservations and sales are only going to plunge further is something isn’t done soon. 

            The human migration shows that human beings are heading south to cities like Miami and Kansas City.  Not Chicago, not New York City.  Not even Boston.

#BanjoKazooieandMajorasMaskonNintendoSwitch

           Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games are already popular on the Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.  People have been playing titles like Super Mario 64, Yoshi’s Story, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart 64, and others.  The N64 games are a big hit on the Switch, just like they were when the first came out.

            Last Thursday there were two major announcements for the N64 expansion pack.  One was a game release and the other was an upcoming title coming out next month.  The game that was recently released so happens to be… Banjo-Kazooie.

            Banjo-Kazooie, the infamous bear and bird duo, is out on the Nintendo Switch!  Banjo and Kazooie’s adventure is back, packed with all of the Jiggies and Notes to collect.  By having the right amount of Jiggies, you able to enter into worlds like Treasure Trove Cove and Click Clock Wood.  They must collect various items in order to reach the end where they will face off against Gruntilda, the evil scheming witch that kidnapped Banjo’s sister Tootie.

            That was the game that is already out for the Switch now.  The next upcoming title is the other Legend of Zelda title known as… The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

            The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask will be heading to the Nintendo Switch soon.  It takes place two months after the events from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Link ends up in Termina during a personal quest where he learns the world is endangered as the moon will fall within three days.  There are more dungeons to crawl, puzzles to solve, and even more tunes to learn on the Ocarina.  You can start Link’s next adventures on The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask when it comes out this February. 

            Two amazing games within one incredible gaming system.  Banjo-Kazooie is the quintessential collect-a-thon game to play on the Nintendo Switch.  If Legend of Zelda is more your thing, then be ready for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask when it comes out next month.  Either way, the Nintendo 64 continues to be popular within the Switch with the announcement of both Banjo-Kazooie and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

#BestCupheadVideoGameMusicPlaylist

            The Cuphead Show! is based on the beloved video game Cuphead.  Cuphead was well-known for its rubber hose art style, gameplay, and hard level of difficulty.  But what really stood out in the game was the soundtrack. 

            Each level or boss came with its own unique soundtrack within the game.  No matter how hard the game may be, you can’t stay frustrated when that incredible music is playing in the background.  The music makes up a big part of the overall mood and feel.

            And the only best way to celebrate The Cuphead Show! coming is through a video game music playlist!

            Cuphead had some really memorable music that took you back to that one level you kept getting stuck on or that boss that keep defeating you each time.  Whether it was battling against dueling frogs or sugary foods, Cuphead always had the right music to kick things off to a great start.

            The category is… Best Cuphead Video Game Music!

            These tracks are the best of the best of Cuphead.  They are played in levels, on Isles, and even during boss battles.

            Here are the selections:
