![]() *** In a city with no lack of Breakfast joints, both chains and independently owned, Stacks & Yolks falls somewhere towards the middle of the pack in terms of everything from price to service to the food itself. Moving next to the Pancakes, two $5.99 specialty singles requested and both barely visible beneath a mountain of toppings, it is surprisingly in their signature item that Stacks & Yolks comes up short as a result of flavors that simply taste ‘off,’ the use of syrups or concentrates likely at fault as the Peanut Butter’s faint taste was almost imperceptible while the Chocolate tasted mostly like Hot Cocoa Mix, though in both cases the combination of Whipped Cream and all the rest were enough to make them mostly enjoyable. Eventually settling on three individual plates priced $5.99 to $8.99, the “10-Pancakes and 10-Eggs in under an hour” challenge saved for another day, it was perhaps fifteen minutes before all three items were delivered in succession, the warm pseudo-Syrup quickly set aside in favor of the good stuff brought from home and first bites of the Churro-style ‘Short Stack’ immediately proving worthwhile as the fried Bread thickly coated in Cinnamon and Sugar offered a great crunch that quickly gave way to a soft custard-soaked center. No doubt an all-ages environment, two men in suits discussing business at one table while two women, an infant and pre-school aged child occupied a four-top across the way, it was as current Pop staples played overhead that selections were made from a sizable collection, the ability to customize great for those who are picky or with allergies and the prices mostly on par with other independently owned Breakfast places. Once known for a fairly typical collection of Eggs, Hashes and Griddles but since going for gusto by way of oversized plates and Pancakes featuring a dozen different Batter flavors plus at least ten Toppings daily, it was immediately upon entry just prior to eight o’clock that guests were greeted and invited to “sit anywhere you like” by a lone young server prone to calling everyone “boss” or “my man” before knocking on tables as if by habit. Tucked away in a plaza also featuring fast food, foot spas and firearms suppliers, a fairly typical situation for many family-owned Restaurants spread across The Valley, those frequenting the area will likely know the space thanks to bold yellow signage visible from the street and with a large parking lot available those deciding to stop in will find the theme replicated many-fold on the inside where early morning remains fairly quiet save for weekends. I guess that is why S&Y was empty and Jamm's is always busy.Previously called Griddlecakes, a meal in April 2015 at the location on North Jones Boulevard so unmemorable that the connection did not become evident until viewing aged Social Media posts, it was as part of breakfast on Friday that a visit was made to Stacks & Yolks on South Durango Drive, a new name and updated menu from the same ownership seeing the place fare better despite a new set of faults. they make you know they appreciate your business. It's too bad, the food was very good, not inexpensive nor really expensive, but Jamm's at Rainbow/Charleston (10 minutes away) does it all better, friendlier, and without the odd decor and rude 'hostess' who mirrors the owner's clear disdain for all of us. Gavin told us about the owner, Mordecai, who keeps the only really comfortable table in the place vacant, for only himself and his own friends, to flaunt his disregard for the customer.

A giant menu is filled with great choices: we had two of the skillet breakfasts and they were terrific (although the gravy that came with a really nice biscuit was clearly store-bought or instant). The waiter Gavin was very nice and very good. ![]() All have hard chairs or wood bench seats. ![]() although the restaurant's other 21 tables are mostly empty. Entering, you are facing the ONLY TABLE in the place with a padded couch/bench seat, and instead of 'hello' or 'welcome' the first words you hear from the surly young lady are "That table's reserved!".

Download your own albums or albums shared with you So you repeatedly throw your people into danger on these desperate trips into small Texan city-fragments, filled with zombies and looters, in the name of finding the 40 'parts' which will let you build the infirmary. All those doors and walls and car shells and windows and wooden pallets and metal barrels and light fittings and furniture littering the streets and structures you visit? Not 'parts'. For instance, to build a science lab or an infirmary requires a fixed number of 'parts', which almost always entails multiple trips into the field, from which only a handful of objects specifically labelled 'parts' can be used as parts. ![]() In any case, the issue for me is more that the grind here is too mechanical rather than that it's there at all. Can Dead State really make similar claims about its fantastical theme? But that is a message game, using the grim repetition of its away missions and parts-collection to sell us on the idea that civilian life in wartime is hell. The former relates to grind, and in fairness it is only thematically appropriate that survivors of an infection-shattered world would have to scrape out a subsistence life, foraging constantly for food and other resources, but is this 'fun'? We're in similar territory to This War Of Mine, which is also primarily a scavenger hunt with the purpose of building up and maintaining a safe-ish shelter. Dead State is an extremely well-observed apocalypse survival RPG, but unfortunately it's also irritating, both on a structural level and in how its combat works. There's a lot going on, and the game is impressively unmerciful too, as befits its scenario. Because almost anyone can be infected, perma-killed or in some cases sent away, the shape of your group is never certain, so though the essential structure is the same from game to game, the vignettes within it will differ. The plot is basically 'survive', but small story beats offering crises and new characters pop up as time wears on, some of which are scripted and some of which are reactive to the status of your fellow survivors. ![]() There are loose goals, but primarily it's about about discovering (and surviving) locations around you through an ever-widening circle of exploration across a big Texan map (comparable in size and locales to early Fallouts, though don't expect quests or chats at any of your stop-offs) which becomes more manageable if and when you find faster modes of transport. In between this stuff, you try to manage the physical and mental well-being of your growing (and sometimes diminishing, if you're inept or unlucky in fights) band of survivors. So you send your character and up to three allies into the field, where they move in real-time until they get into a fight, at which point the game shifts into X-COM- or Fallout-style turn-based battles. You have a base, which is a school in various states of disrepair, and whose rooms can only be built or fixed with resources obtained from the world outside, which is packed with zombies and murderous survivors. There's something you should know.' I'll describe Dead State quickly first, though. What I'm looking at is whether Dead State: Reanimated is a game fellow first-timers should play or not.īroadly, the answer to that is 'yes.' But I'd stay your hand before you opened your purse, look you in the eyes with infinite solemnity and say 'wait. I know there are a raft of new difficulty options to keep the hardcore or the over-familiar engaged, but frankly the last thing I'd want to do right now is make Dead State any more punishing. ![]() I should point out that this is my first experience of Dead State, so I'm about as much use as a band-aid on headshot when it comes to identifying whether the new and changed features are improvements or not. The free 'Reanimated' update is a fancy name for a mega-patch designed to address assorted gripes about the doomy turn-based strategy/RPG zombie survival game, and also my opportunity to finally visit the blighted town of Splendid, Texas. I'd been wanting to check out Doublebear's Dead State - which I'm going to loosely label 'The Walking Dead does X-COM' - for a while, but Wot I Thinkery fell to someone else upon its initial release. ![]() It is never too late! 70 is a great time to learn the piano.

They think Squirrels are the true green tribe and know Rats are the real black tribe. Some people hear “tribal” and think of Merfolk, Elves, and Goblins. The fact that Swarmyard reached the price point it did is a testament to how much Commander players love their zany strategies. Steal the game out from under your opponent’s nose! There are no ifs, ands, or buts with Angel’s Grace, as long as it’s on the stack, nothing else is happening before it resolves. Your life can’t even get into the red! All that would be something, but what’s to stop a wayward counter spell? Split Second, that’s what. Angel’s Grace is about as simple and straightforward a solution as can be. We’re on a run with one-mana spells at the moment, but I promise Angel’s Grace is the last of them! Are you tired of having your board being turned against you at the last moment with Insurrection? Grown bored of Approach of the Second Sun? Had your fair share of “that guy” who insists on finishing games with the Thassa’s Oracle combo? Well the Angels have heard your complaints, and they’re here to lend their grace. If you really want to get cheeky, throw it on Vial Smasher, the Fierce and turn the first spell you play every turn into a cantrip. Hand it to Slimefoot, the Stowaway and turn every single one of your Saprolings into a potential card. At best? Enchant Borborygmos Enraged and watch the cards and lands roll in as you repeatedly throw lightning bolts wherever you see fit. At worst, throw it on an evasive beater or a double striker and enjoy your additional cards. ![]() A colour shifted Curiosity, this little green powerhouse will put blue players to shame with the sheer amount of card advantage it produces. Occasionally seen in modern Bogles lists, Keen Sense is criminally underplayed in Commander. If you’re in mono-blue or even just sans white or black, look no further than Pongify as a premiere removal spell for your Commander deck. That’s a nice Praetor you have there, it would be a shame if someone were to turn it into a… green monkey. It’s certainly less exciting than whatever you got rid of. And what downside? In a format with 40 life and 4 players, a 3/3 isn’t much to get excited about. As Swords to Plowshares shows us, one mana to remove a threatening creature of any size is a fantastic rate, nevermind the downside. An uncommon that’s already seen two reprints, the kooky blue instant has always been in demand on account of just how efficient it is. Starting simple and affordable, Pongify is a removal spell that does what it says on the tin. But this is Commander, and we’ll get to that.įor now, we’re going to put the gorgeous old-border reprints to one side and look at the best of the block. Time Spiral, Planar Chaos and Future Sight were littered with cards that have since become staples in Commander, including the most expensive Modern legal card in the game at the time of writing. Magic’s first remastered set is released in paper, and WOTC have hit a homerun with the reprints. ![]() ![]() ![]() Emmeline and Gregory really should have stayed in Grasmere because London is a simmering cauldron of danger.

Since I have a wicked streak, I could not make this easy for Emmeline and Gregory. I ask you, who else would conjure up a contract hit in such an idyllic spot? Probably only me.
