Welcome to a new section called Top Lists where I rank my top 5, 10, or even 15 things and I will start with the Top 5 burgers at Universal Studios Orlando. Why you may ask why?… well during the Summer me and my family and a close friend went to the theme park for six days and at all the restaurants I got a cheeseburger and I decided to rate my favorites while I was there. So lets begin the countdown with number 5:

Number 5:

The Kitchen at the Orlando Hard Rock Hotel

I did enjoy the burger, but it had a kind of fast food kind of taste and the burger was not that juicy at all. Besides that, it was a noteworthy meal and perfect for anyone who wants a quick bite or can’t go anywhere because of inclement weather.

Number 4:

Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville

While it is a classic and one of my favorite places of all time, my last trip brought the burger down to the number 4 spot for some odd reason. The burger was good, but not as good the last few years. Like I said before it is a classic and worth your money to get your own cheese burger in paradise. It will rise up again to 2 or even 1 only time will tell. Also, “I like mine with American cheese and bacon and a cold Coke” not as catchy as the song though.

Number 3:

Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando

I was very surprised with this burger because my last time there it was not that great, but the burger was much better this time around. The burger was juicy, the bacon was cooked to perfection and the bun was toasted which is always a plus with me. The only downfall is that it was not as filling as the burgers before it and it made the experience a less enjoyable one. In the end, it deserves this spot on my list.

Number 2:

Nascar Sports Grille

Me and my family always went here last, but this year we decided to eat here first and it was a wise decision. The burger I had there was a great burger in both taste and size. For some reason the cheese there was the best I had while I was on vacation. This really made my eating experience while I was on vacation and prompted the creation of this list in the first place.

And the number 1 burger at Universal Studios Florida is:

NBA City

I enjoy this burger so much and, surprisingly, this was my first time I had a burger there. I usually have the Pizza, but that day I got the burger and it was just well awesome. The burger and bacon were all cook to perfection and taste perfect too. All I can say is that this was a great surprise that this was my favorite and I don’t mind this burger was great and worth it for any burger lovers out there.

Here is my list and remember this is my opinion and my taste buds are a lot different than yours.

After my enjoyable experience with the Looney Tunes game I decided to try another Rhythm based game that I heard called Elite Beat  Agents. I was once again hesitant in getting this game, but I really enjoyed the last game I decided why not and I got it and enjoyed it. Unlike the Looney Tunes game instead to tap and drag you have to just tap, repeatably tap or spin according to the music you are playing. There isn’t much story except three agents, depending on which game you play, have to solve all kinds of dilemmas like a babysitter trying to keep her job and her football loving boyfriend or helping two movie starlets survive the wild or even helping a young girl with her Christmas wish… I will not spoil that one. The humor in this game is very top-notch and really makes this game work very well. Also, the game is never repetitive and it never gets boring no matter how many times you play it. My only concerns is that while they are enjoyable to play over and over they are considerable hard and even when you are on the first level of difficulty. Another reason is that, like in the Looney Tunes game, some of the songs just don’t along with the scenario. For example, “Sk8tor Boy” is being played to a guy driving a woman to a hospital to give birth to a baby… where is the connection to the song? Besides that, this game is very fun for anyone that loves rhythm based games and also a very challenging one as well.

I give this game a 9

Let me start of by welcoming all who enter my new section on my blog called Rant with Craig where I rant all kinds of things that bother me or other people. So I hope you enjoy my rant and many more in the future.

You want to know what is a real pain to me is the bumper sticker. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy them especially the funny ones, but they are a mess when you want to take them off. For example, you put on a funny bumper sticker on your car and after many years you lose interest in the car and you want to remove it. But as soon as you remove it it either leaves a white or sticky residue on the car that will be permanent on your car forever. The only way to get rid of it is to get a new car and not put a bumper sticker on it at all, but you have to spend thousands on a new car when you could save money on a bumper sticker remover. I believe that they have a removal solution, but they don’t want us to have it at all. I mean is there even something like that even on the market. Another fault I see with bumper stickers are the college ones. These are the ones you put on the back windshield to show drivers where you or your children go to or went to for college. I do enjoy them, but the problem is that what if the student drops out or leaves the school the sticker is a constant reminder of what they could be doing if they didn’t leave the school. As you can see, bumper stickers may be an enjoyable addition to your car, but when you grow tired of them they soon become a nuisance and a real pain to all that have them.
