Super Punch Out Play-through

Video – Watch Super Punch Out

Super Punch Out  Video, @lordkayoss’s play-through by Nintendo from 1994,

Kayoss presents another epic play-through, between @lordkayoss and @Zallard1’s blindfold runs, making Punch Out boxing even more exciting. Kayoss guides us through the double circuit, with the first circuit serving as a warm-up or training round.

The second circuit features CPU AI that changes offensive and defensive strategies, unlike the first circuit. It’s great to see Super Punch Out back on the list of videos to watch.

I recommend checking out @lordKayoss’s play-through. Additionally, @Zallard1 showcases a blindfolded run of Nintendo Punch-Out!! Wii Boxing. Yes, blindfolded. Check that out.

Stay tuned I’ll cover @LordKayoss Super Castlevania IV play-through in the next few weeks. A quick shout out to Kayoss for the Super Punch Out coverage. Watch this video and more on Super Punch out Video on YouTube YouTube or explore other videos in the video category.

Husky Heavy Duty Inflator

Husky Heavy Duty Inflator and Tire Pressure Gauge

Brown Widow

Tech | Tools – Air Compressor Inflator

The Husky Heavy Duty Digital Inflator

I am not very familiar with the Husky brand or line, but I picked this up at the store. The recent weather change triggered the TPMS notification requesting air. This is not unusual, as following the summer months or just at the peak of winter, automotive tires require regular maintenance. As mentioned in our more recent posts – Kreg Measuring Tools, calipers, backlog post and gadget update, we’ve got some more air tool coverage coming your way. We’ll be picking up nailers and air wrenches next. This article will focus in on more air tools and the compressor we use around the shop. The same goes for trucks, farm and yard equipment. You can never go wrong with a tire gauge and an air inflation system. In any case, I wanted to give this a try over the next couple of months to see what kind of life we can get out of the Husky Tire Inflator.

Inflator and Compressor

I bought this one specifically because of the digital gauge. Most others are manual or have tire pressure dial-style gauge. There is nothing wrong with those, just wanted to see if the money was worth spending for digital read out. As far as an inflator, the tool has all the power and air it needs. Here are the tool specifics:

  • Multi-purpose, tire pressure gauge and inflation with variable PSI output
  • Suitable for cars, trucks, ATVs, golf carts, and motorcycles
  • Requires 2 AAA batteries (included)
  • Temperature Range -20°F to 120°F
As a side note, I bought the inflator to go with the DeWalt 2.5 Gallon Portable Electric Air Compressor (find this at your local hardware or big box hardware stores). It is a handy light weight compressor with 90 PSI, a 2.5 Gallon Tank, and a max PSI rating of 200. It is easy to use, with dual quick connectors, ball valve drain, etc.  A great compressor to have around the shop for light duty work.

Anyhow, look for an update or two over the next few weeks. We are looking for longevity, wear and tear. Check back for more.

Highlights and Takeaways

Need some air? A TPMS alert? Are my tires under inflated due to a weather change, or something worse like a puncture or complete failure?

Steelrising Video Let’s Play

A @FightinCowboy Souls-like RPG Video

Video – Steelrising Video, A Let’s Play

Steelrising Video is available now, @fightinCowboy play-through (Let’s Play), of Steelrising…

Steelrising is an older Souls-like action RPG game (first released in September. 2022) by Nacon. A steampunk-souls-like game an epic robot fighter… This is a “buy” for me and also on the short “buy” list.

Like other souls-like games, be prepare for a slog, a challenging and epic experience. While some gamer pros (content creators) make it look easy, it is not.

I’m not sure how realistic an edited video, showing a few blockers here and there (the videos are edited down for compression, length etc.), so take that warning for what it is worth. I like the live or like live Let’s plays as for me I can gain a better understanding of the game and it is going to be extreme challenge.

I’m also prepare for the impassable, and impossible at times seemingly impossible; but those obstacles will eventually be overcome. I anticipate that some farming time will be necessary, so it’s best to plan for that now. This preparation will make it easier when you find yourself relying on the internet for help. Let’s dive in! A big shout out to @fightinCowboy for both the walk-through and Let’s Play videos… these will surely come in handy soon.

Black Myth Wukong Video, @theRadBrad walk-Through.

Black Myth Wukong is a new action RPG developed and published by Game Science

Man, this is a fantastic game! Thanks to @theRadBrad, I was able to see multiple endings and whatnot. The level of game play, development, story etc. is all top tier. I would say, I’m gobsmacked; this game is off the charts. Not to mention video quality of the content. Honestly, I don’t keep up with upcoming games or what’s set to launch. That’s why I rely on content creators like Brad, Kayoss, and the NES Play-through folks who are experts at what they do and great to have around.

I have no idea what’s to come in the gaming world, but if this game is just a small glimpse of what’s to come; graphics, story, voice acting, performance all working together. The realism is there, but with a good mix of Chinese lore. The lore here might be worth spending a little more time on for someone who wants more information. It’s like Warhammer in the fact that the backstory is worth poking around, exploring and watching other video where it makes sense.

Brown Widow Spiders

Introducing, The Brown Widow

Black Widow Competition. It’s the Cousin, Latrodectus Geometricus

Brown Widow

Materials – Arachnids…

Not the usual subject, Brown Widow Spiders, but an interesting one.

How many of you know what a Black Widow Spider is? The Latrodectus Hesperus – the Black Widow variety or true widows of the wild. And now, how many of you knew there was a widow more potent than the Black Widow? More importantly, the Brown Widow Spider aka Latrodectus Geometricus.

Never in a million years would I have thought I’d run into one of these widows, count it; now 4 separate encounters. Color may vary, but the one’s I’ve had the pleasure to meet have the classic, RED hourglass markings and two-tone – brown and black leg bans. Four of four have had egg sacks, so we are dealing with arachnids protecting their own. Again, not something I’ve run into often, actually ever. More so over this past year (2023/2024), I would say summer to late summer months.

Those of you who have Arachnophobia be aware; great movie by the way. Jeff Daniels, John Goodman, Julian Sands… more, however, I can’t remember off the top of my head (which is beside the point here). Pick up the Arachnophobia DVD, Prime Video or Blu-ray. I don’t BETA there for those Sony fans, sorry, another great piece of tech lost to history.

For those of you who want facts on the widow species, check out the following link, it’s a UF IFAS Extension page on “brown widow spiders”. Click for more details on the Brown Widow Spiders here in Florida.

Highlights and Takeaways
  • Brown Widow, just as dangerous as it’s cousin, the Black Widow, along with three others – Souther, Northern and Red Widows.
  • Most commonly found in SRQ, the Brown Widow variety
  • Including South Florida, widows can be found in So. Cal, CO, Arkansas, MS, AL and GA.
  • More importantly, invasive
  • Venom, and Risk, while typically found in their dark corner (see picture), Brown Widow venom can be more potent than it’s cousin
  • The Widows like their corners, builtin protected areas, eaves etc., boxes, shutters and pool cages!

Let’s get to prevention and control, as I said, four sightings in the latest months.

    • Clean Up, often
    • Outside, inside, vacuum webbing and all.
    • Don’t forget to clean out the vacuum!
    • Clean up debris piles, look for ‘shelter in plain sight or shelter in place’, a good hiding spot for Brown Widows
    • Call a professional, pre/post clean up
Find Other Stories of Interest – Electronics, Things-to-do and Other
Takeaway

Clean, clean and clean some more. High pressure washer, wet vac… create a cleaning routine and stick to it. Remove debris, seal up holes and cracks etc.

Be vigilant. Honestly, I had no idea, par for the course I guess. There are all kinds, to many to count sometimes, here in the southern swaths (maintained, cleared, or mowed parts) of Florida. Time to get a move on this cleaning. I’ll follow up with an update at some point, for now; I’ll leave you to it. Thanks for dropping by, don’t forget to leave a comment, follow us on X – @salleetech. I’ll post more pictures, this assumes more encounters… so, I’m hoping the subject lives on as reference material or good to know! Cheers.

RE DLC Shadow Of Rose Video

Lab Work – RE DLC Shadow Of Rose Video – Full Walkthrough

Embark on a horror venture, with the Resident Evil Shadow Of Rose, a classic RE expansion that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the game.
 
Shikkaro takes us deep into the hearts and minds of the Resident Evil series with the Shadows of Rose DLC. The Village at the time, won Game of the Year and sold more than 10 million copies/units (to date). Shadow of Rose, being a DLC, is not just a boring update. Play as the Ethan’s daughter (Rose) and conquer The Village DLC game.
 
Although the game is not new, it delivers a cold surreal terror within Rose’s world filled with twists, turns, evil bosses, soul reaper zombie types, the mold and jump scares. The nearly 4 hour DLC run will keep you on edge, as you run, jump, solve puzzles and navigate through the depths of the village underground. The expansion was made available in October 2022 and is playable on PC, PS4/PS5, and Xbox series console.
 
Even if you’re not a RE expert, the game stays true to the franchise’s roots and offers an epic storyline reminiscent of the early survival horror games. If you enjoy the game, survival first-person shooters or the video created by @shikkaro, show some love by subscribing or checking out the creator merch online.
 
Lastly, thank you for the coverage @shirrako! I loved the video, the game play, the full play-through without commentary or frame share.

Elden Ring DLC Review

More On Elden Ring DLC

Let’s discuss @theRadBrad & @FightnCowboy Do Elden Ring – Shadow of the ErdTree DLC

Elden Ring DLC Review Start

Lab Work – Review – Elden Ring DLC – Shadow Of The ErdTree by @theRadBrad and @fightnCowboy

First of all, let’s kick off the Elden Ring DLC Video Review with compliments and kudos to @theRadBrad for the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the ErdTree and @FightnCowboy for their DLC coverage, play-throughs and game play. We appreciate the hours you both put into covering the game as content creators. Obviously, the skills needed to complete the main game and the DLC are something I don’t have (yet), but thanks to you both, it might be possible one day.

Secondly, the process of sharing content on YouTube for the masses is at an exceptional pace. Both of you have a tremendous number of followers, with videos and playlists going back many years. This article is a compliment to the two content creators, and a show of appreciation for their game play.

BorneSouls Experience

So, let’s stay topical, IMO (in my opinion), the best game to date. My gaming knowledge is somewhat superficial, so take it with a grain of salt. Let me set the stage: while working, most of the time, if not all the time, I’ve got YouTube running content on a tertiary monitor for this very reason. Again, I say it’s topical (superficial is a little harsh), but out of all the games I’ve purchased and played over the years, this seems to be the best all-around game. Now, the caveat, unfortunately, my limited experience with BorneSouls games places me in the novice to beginner category. That’s a timing thing. My time is focused on the business, complemented by such YouTube creators.

Content Consumption

It’s fair to say that I’ve watched most of @theRadBrads public content, mainly focusing on new releases and delving deeper into digging more into niche games and Final Fantasy type games. So, yes, it’s fair to say I’ve grown accustomed to the play-through cadence and tempo that Brad publishes. This cadence can certainly be influenced by his members. with shout-outs for likes and subscribes. Always go to see, content driven by members. Furthermore, I think that is where other creators can help or complement game play, walk-throughs, guides, etc. This is where @fightnCowboy comes in. Again, it’s about complementing the two content creators rather than comparing the them.

I’ve more recently added @fightnCowboy to the manual playlist, depending on work load. Right now, I’m cruising through The Last Faith play-through again. It’s great content for coding, writing and creating if you ask me. Honestly, my schedule is all over the place, so I could spend more time watching livestreams. On that same point, I gravitate towards the D&D games, RPGs and ‘beat ’em ups’. Lately,  from a nostalgia perspective, the ‘beat ’em ups’ have been at the top of the playthrough list. This includes the Elden Ring games, BorneSouls, ‘metroid-vania’ style games, Hellblade, Ghost, God Of War, Assassins’ (really too many to note here, but we will continue to cover such games and give insight where applicable).

Elden Ring Experience And DLC Next Steps

I’m currently stuck on Margit myself. I have a Samurai Build that is more focused on farming.  Farming is where I spend most of my time these days. Margit keeps spoiling my progress, acting as a blocker for weeks. So, for now, I’ll stick to farming. At least until I do more research,  watch more videos, and see more play-throughs that can help me get past Margit. I have to admit, I wouldn’t have made it this far without the play-through content; it’s essential. I just need to spend more time in the game chair to make progress. I’m determined to get there, even if it takes me all year. 

It’s fair to say I’ve failed miserably at finding time to play and progressing through the game has been a bit more challenging. Limited time has meant limited play, so farming has beome more of a focus these days as my character is still in the early stages. I have found a few farming areas with giants, common turtles, poison blobs, and more. So, I am spending the much needed time farming and upgrading my character (samurai). I definitely need to clean up a few giant farming sessions and spend time leveling up.

Moving onto the DLC, we can’t access it until we finish Elden Ring, main content). It might take me the rest of the year.

From a content perspective, I have been reviewing the gameplay and walk throughs, which is important as I am so far behind on the main content and just wrapping up the last phases of the Elden Ring DLC. This is by far my personal favorite game to watch,  and I can’t wait to play it myself. It acts as a fantastic follow-up to the original game. Hats off to the creators and designers of this series, which hopefully continues like the other BorneSouls games. Dare I say, the DLC should be announced or voted as game of the year? Perhaps even more.

Lastly, I want to steer away from comparing the two content creators and instead five a shoutout to both @theRadBrad and @FightnCowboy. This article is intended to be a quick read, a followup to the DLC video, and a platform to share our thoughts on the DLC. It is also a recommendation, highlighting  Elden Ring/Elden Ring DLC play-through.  Ultimately, it is another reason why you should watch other content creators and gamer playlist.

Kreg Tool

Tech | Tools – Measure, Mark, Prep Tool

The Kreg Measuring Tool – Measure, Mark; Multi-use metal, 3d printing, wood or carpentry.

Whether you’re at home, around the office, or in the shop. You’ll need something like the Kreg Measuring and Marking tool. One tool for measuring angles and mark up wood or metal. The Kreg Measuring Tool is a versatile and usful tool for finding angles. This tool is perfect for measuring right angles on-the-go, making layouts easily repeatable and ensuring accuracy while working int he field or on various projects. I personally own one now and I find it incredibly easy to use, handy for setting standard angles like 90 and 45 degrees, or manually adjusting the slide as needed. The Kreg is truly unbeatable in my opinion, for marking, designing, measuring and leveling in the field.
