Hey everybody, welcome to the Wallach Way. I'm Jessica and today's video is part two of a four-part series of holiday hauls. Today's holiday haul is going to be from Usborne. So I'm showing you guys everything that we have purchased for the holidays from Usborne. And just as a reminder, I am buying for kids ages two to 10 boys and girls. So this is all of the Usborne we have purchased as gifts for all of the kids in our lives. The first thing that we have are the matching games.  They come with like the little cards. They also come with a book and they come with multiple ways to play. So we have the bugs matching game, the dinosaur matching game and the under the sea matching game. And then I'm actually going to be pairing each of those with one of the big books. So we have the big book of bugs, the big book of dinosaurs and the big book of sea creatures. Next we have the set of Ella Diaries. So this is, let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. This is an eight book set. And then I am pairing this book set along with one of the Usborne's Make It Myself Diary. So this is an adorable little kit where they get to make their own diary. Next, for one of the littlest ones in our life, I have a handful of the Peek Inside Usborne books because I love these for little hands. So we have Peek Inside Nighttime, Peek Inside the Zoo, Peek Inside Dinosaurs, Peek Inside a Beehive, Peek Inside the Forest, Peek Inside Space and Peek Inside How a Plane Works. Another one of my favorite gift combinations are these Shine a Light books and a flashlight. So I will be purchasing a flashlight to go along with the Secret of the Winter Shine a Light book, the Secret of Animal Camouflage Shine a Light book and the Secret of the Rainforest Shine a Light book. And then for a nature lever, I am putting together a bundle of the Usborne Woodland book, the Never Get Board Outdoors book and the brand new That's a Job I Like the Outdoors What Jobs Are There book. For a little history lover, I am putting together a bundle with the Short History of the World book, the 100 Things to Know About History book and the Usborne Beginner History set, which if you are new around here, these are some of our personal favorite books for homeschooling. So I know for a fact that these are amazing. I also love picking up kits like this for maybe some of the kiddos that we forgot or somebody that we need a present for last minute. So I have the Rubber Stamp Activity book or set and the Fingerprint Activity set. These are really great for a large range of ages. So I love having those on hand. For a little magician in our life, I grabbed the Greatest Magician. This is like a storybook that has magic tricks built into the book that they can do. So it's really great if you have somebody who really likes magic or maybe wants to learn magic because it's got a story with tricks built into it. And because I thought this would make an adorable gift, I also got the curious case of the missing mammoth along with the little stuffed mammoth. So that will be a gift bundle as well. And then the rest of the things that I am going to be showing you are things that are going to find themselves or find their way, I guess, under our Christmas tree. So the first of which is the Usborne Complete Dickens book as well as the Usborne Complete Shakespeare book. And then to go with that, I got the Slot Together Theater that does the Nutcracker and Shakespeare. The Animal A-Z Joke Book, the Physics of Popcorn, the Math of a Milkshake, Forensic Science, a hundred things to know about saving the planet, Beast Feast, Dragon Post, Bears Don't Read, the Prince and the Witch and the Thief and the Bears, the Tale of the Valiant Ninja Frog. And then a copy of That's a Job, I like the outdoors, what jobs are there as well as the human body puzzle with a book that goes with it. And then the last two things that I grabbed for us were Santa Post, which I'm sure will be something we pull out before Christmas. And unfortunately we have reached the age of bitter sweetness where what's happening to me needs to be in our household. So that is my Usborne Holiday Hall and I would love if you would leave in the comments down below. Do you buy books for holiday gifts and if so, what books are you buying this year?


Ssssssss… S-drunk! Two of my picks for the very best arcade games of the 90s are the Dungeons & Dragons games, Shadow over Mistara, and Tower of Doom, and they are extremely well-made games with a surprising amount of depth, and if you dig those two games like I do, then you'll really like Dungeon Magic, made by Taito in 1994. This game was known as Light claims in Japan, and some parts of Europe, and I should mention quickly that no, this game does not have anything to do with the NES game, Dungeon Magic, of the elements, they're totally unrelated. But man, Dungeon Magic the Arcade game is a great time. It's like Landstalker for Sega Genesis combined with games like Knights of the Round, the Dark Seal games, and the aforementioned Dungeons and Dragons titles. One token gives you a health meter and two lives to get through four long dungeons, and there's four playable characters to choose from. Ash the Knight, Gren the Fighter, Vold the Wizard, and Sissy the Archer, and they each play differently as you might expect, although the basic tenets of beat-em-up gameplay are all still here in spades. There's your regular attack, a clear screen magic attack, and you can also jump, defend, dash, and grab enemies, but most importantly, each of the four characters has their own distinct playstyle, similar to a game like King of Dragons. For example, Ash is the strongest melee fighter, but his range and his defense aren't so great, since his slow sword attack often opens him up to blindside damage. Gren is in a similar boat, but he plays more like a traditional beat-em-up character, so he's a bit quicker, although not as strong as Ash.  Vold, on the other hand, starts out weak in pretty much every category. You have to be careful with him at first, but once you level him up, and yes, you can level up characters in this game, then he becomes the most powerful of the four characters, laying down all sorts of carnage. Now let's get into what makes this game really stand out. For starters, one of my favorite things about Dungeon Magic is that you can use lots of different stuff as weapons. Watch this werewolf dude wear a mace as a mask. Then you pick up a candelabra to fend off enemies. What am I, Liberace? You can also pick up all sorts of different shields to defend yourself temporarily. There's single use items like axes and spears. There's barrels sitting around to toss it bad guys.  As you can see from the footage, this is one of those games where you can smash just about anything and everything to find more points, more weapons, more power-ups, more health, and in some cases, more areas to explore. And you're gonna need to explore in this one, because Dungeon Magic is a beat-em-up that has a leveling system with experience points. That's right, this is a beat-em-up RPG, and in the truest sense too. And by that I mean, the game doesn't require you to clear every room to proceed. If you really want to, you can skip past enemies, you can ignore entire rooms altogether, you can go straight to the exit and try your luck at getting through the game under-leveled.  Really though, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't take your time to explore through every nook and cranny in this game. There is a time limit, so you do need to be careful, but still, there's secrets here and there that help you out. Like if you kick this candle in the wall here, that releases, uh, this guy, who looks just like this one dude from the AV club in my high school days. He enthusiastically follows you around and drops extra gold to help you level up faster, and when his health finally runs out, he kinda just fades into nothing and explodes. Hey, thanks dude. My favorite part of this game is how gigantic it is for an arcade title. Each dungeon only has one exit, but there's lots of different ways you can get there. Even better is that you can pick up something like a barrel and stack it somewhere, climb up, and find even more treasure. If you manage to find a golden treasure chest, you'll gain a powerful new weapon replete with elemental magic, like ice, fire, or lightning. If you play as Vold the Wizard, there's a rare drop you can stumble upon called the Holy Staff, and it's laughably overpowered. Seriously, Vold sucks to play as at first, but if you're able to find the Holy Staff, it's worth it. So yeah, Dungeon Magic is awesome. It's the rare arcade game that offers a lot of depth and replay value thanks to the huge dungeons you can explore, plus all the different weapons and characters you can play as. The isometric view might throw some people off, but rest is sure, this one plays and feels like a traditional beat-em-up, since your characters are always facing either to the left or to the right. I will say there is a bit of platforming here, and the diagonal angle can make that a bit problematic, but it's not too bad. Dungeon Magic was ported to the Title Legends 2 collection for PS2 and Xbox, but seriously, this game rocks, and you need to play it any way you can. Alright, I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.


So we're here with a wookie here at the linara connect 2015 in San Francisco, so hello So what are you doing? What is this bot it says a mantaro what is that The cheap and cheerful end of robots, but so it's just a tablet and a the base station Which is a beagle boat black and blue two-based did you send this over to the base and the head so I'm just using Skype to talk to the head and The mantaro supply a web-based interface for driving the machine around and it works for the Samsung tablet Just Android Can you can you flip your head a little bit up and down Nice How long how long is your battery life?

Right. I think there are two things I want to ask to address ourselves to. One is a message and language that presenter in the ITLMA was using on the copper belt. Understandably he has two problems. One, he has failed to fix what he promised us coming, if given an opportunity to fix if he had an opportunity to go to government. Instead, he has ended up producing the highest cost of living afflicting the ZMW. And on top of that he has decided to insult them. In our culture, there is a way in which you deal with those that are senior by age and even in terms of the role they are playing in the nation. His clear vulgar language, which some of us will know him, that is basically his nature. It's not just an emotional outburst, that is who he is. He insults and if you find him insulting in Tonga, you'd be shocked. But we want to say to the Zambian people, ignore Miss Aka in this emotional outburst and his answers. The real answers you are expecting from him is to reduce the price of minimum from 350 some places to 50 kwacha. To reduce the cost of fuel from 30 kwacha to 12 kwacha they had promised. To reduce the price and make available fertilizer from the price that they had promised, from the price now at 1300 kwacha per bag to 250 kwacha they had promised. Insulting Zambians and insulting anybody is not going to change the economic situation that we are faced as a people. So even if he went to Kopa Belot and wanted to insult the former, wanted to insult whoever it is, that those insults will not solve the economic problems that the people of Zambia are faced with.  They are disappointed that the only gift that he took there was a gift of insults against the former head of state. And what has the former head of state done? Just going to pray. Today going to church to go and worship your God would attract an insult from the head of state. Where is Misaka in the ITLMA taking us? What example is he giving to his own children and the young people of this country? And he was talking like that at a youth day celebration. It is really really very sad. He is a bad example, he is bad for state house, he is bad for presidency, he is bad even to allow him to continue mingling in society because he is polluting the language and the mindset of young people in this country through insults. It should not be around. When he is telling everybody at Kutumba, as we just tell him, take a matagopasi, just sit so that you can think through these processes, he gets agitated. When we say there is premitivity in the way he is doing hundreds things, he considers that to be an insult. It is very unfortunate looking at the way he addressed himself to issues that the examinee people expected of him.
