Kirby Air Ride (GameCube Game)

 With the Nintendo Switch 2 out now, I decided to again to look back on some of my personal favorite Nintendo games. Today I thought about reliving an old GameCube classic in the form of Kirby Air Ride.

Kirby Air Ride came out on the Nintendo GameCube back in 2003 and it was incredibly fun to play. It basically follows Kirby and his multi-colored counterparts as they compete in different races.

Man was this game awesome! Me and my twin would play this game for hours. The controls were simple and the varies of different game modes made it quite enjoyable to play. 

There were three different modes in Kirby Air Ride, the first being Air Ride, which is a straight up race to see who is number one of the track.

The second mode is called Top Ride. Which is another racing mode, however this time you see above the track and have to choose either a blue star which drives counter clock wise or a red star which the control stick is tilted. There are only seven tracks in this mode and they all feature a different elements like, grass, water, sand, light, sky, fire and metal.

Last but not least, the third mode is the City Trial where you and many others compete in a much larger city type environment grabbing different Air Ride vehicles along with upgrades like top speed, charges, offense, defense, HP, etc.

But what I love most about this mode is the random events that happen during mode which includes a meteor falling from the sky, fake power ups, UFOs and so forth. I also love looking for the pieces to the two legendary vehicles, the Dragoon or the Hydra, personally I prefer the Dragoon, but that is just my humble opinion.

This was so much fun and I dare say it was one of the best games I ever played on the GameCube. This was a super underrated video game.

Now a few months ago, I was checking out the Nintendo Direct and when I saw that this game was getting a sequel, I nearly went through the roof. A little over twenty years later, this game is making a comeback and I love it 😁

Kirby Air Riders will be hitting the Switch 2 sometime in 2025.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

Image
 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
