Double Down

1 Comment

It seems everyone is crazy of KFC’s new double down sandwich. It is two piece of fried chicken sandwiching bacon and cheese. Colleagues at work made a trip to KFC during lunch just to try it out. When I was in KFC today, everyone is ordering a double down. I don’t think it taste that great and it’s really greasy. Probably after the novelty wears off, the hype will fade. The hype partly thanks to the stupid Ontario Premier who propose ban the selling of it and make it a national news. It sounds very unhealthy but it’s actually not worse than a Big Mac. Both of them has 540 grams of calories and 30 grams of fat. A double chess whooper at Burger King is worse, which has 670 grams of calories and 30 grams of fat. If Ontario going to ban double down on the risk to health, they pretty much have to ban all fast food.

Thomas And Friends: Hero Of The Rails (WII)

自從家中多了部Wii以後﹐下載遊戲己超過五十個﹐每個週未也是安裝新遊戲﹐測試新遊戲好不好玩。因為人太花多遊戲太多﹐每個遊戲只是玩一個半個小時﹐新鮮感過了便沒有心機再玩下去。估不到第一個打爆機的遊戲﹐竟然是湯瑪仕小火車﹐一個設計給學前兒童的遊戲。

嚴格來說這個不算是正式遊戲﹐不過是把一集湯瑪仕小火車的的故事﹐用電腦動畫配合語音播放出來﹐中間加插一些與戲情勉強有關連的小遊戲。全部都是十分白痴的益智小遊戲﹐如挍動Wii搖控器來控制火車比賽鬥快﹐替火車頭塗油加顏色﹐用水喉清洗火車頭﹐把畫面的火車零件按顏色分類。遊戲結果完全不影響故事發展﹐其本上玩與不玩沒有分別。故事內容很例牌的正面勵志﹐講述湯瑪仕在森林的廢棄路軌中找到一台舊火車頭﹐他和朋友合力修復舊火車頭﹐其間有個壞蛋火車頭來搞破壞﹐最後壞蛋火車頭了跌落河﹐修理好的舊火車頭去救他﹐大團圓結局大家成為好朋友。

可能我小時候也很喜歡湯瑪仕火車頭﹐在玩具店看著那套木製巨型路軌流口水﹐可惜媽媽從來沒有買給我玩。後來在加拿大讀書﹐偶然在週末早上的兒童時段看電視﹐也會有湯瑪仕的定格卡通﹐總覺得那些有人臉的火車模型很有趣。現在剛巧湯瑪仕Wii遊戲﹐反正完成遊戲所需時間不長﹐只需要半個小時多一點﹐便當懷念一下童年回憶。那些小遊戲大部份很無聊﹐只是很低技術的平面貼圖。不過製作群在火車比賽倒花了不小心思﹐在小遊戲中建立全島3D路軌和火車﹐不單要挍動搖控器讓火車前進﹐還可以上下拉動搖控器模彷火車鳴汽笛。可惜小遊戲沒有free play mode﹐不能自由地駕駛小火車遊覽全島。忽發奇想﹐如果把Thomas the tank train放在Microsoft Train Simulation走﹐應該會很有趣。
