Interactive 3D (I3D)

Circa 1993, a 3D game engine called "Interactive 3D" (or I3D for short) was made by Jim O'Keane. It was a game engine in the style of Wolfenstein 3D. I once found version 2.1 of I3D and decided to blog about it. I feel there is great value in discussing long lost things and somehow trying to make light of them. So this is my look into Interactive 3D.

---

Interactive 3D

---

Interactive 3D (or I3D) was designed to get people into designing first-person shooters. To that end, a comprehensive and simple approach was given to help would-be game developers the opportunity to create their own games. Several PCX files made up the picture data for the walls, sprites, and map. Different colored pixels for the world map translate into in-world objects. Material in I3D includes enemies to attack as well as some animated sprites and walls.

I3D is not a game. Instead, it is more like a demo you can freely play. It is a first-person shooter set in a futuristic setting. All you can do is explore the area and interact with it. You can explore the world provided to you as well as perform a number of different interactions. Everything from hit detection to opening doors can be done through the play area. You can toggle certain options to better suit your PC's performance. For example, you can increase or decrease the play window (larger windows mean slower performance). You can try destroying the various enemies as well as some of the props, such as the vases. There is no boss or any exit. You are simply playing this demo world for exploration purposes. So enjoy the view!

You can edit a number of things to I3D, including the PCX bitmaps. Be warned that the program will not load the map if the map's memory exceeds a certain number of kilobytes. You can edit the bitmaps as well as the sounds. Remember this program was out around in 1993, so many of the different modern things will not work for such an old program.

My Interactive 3D Experiences.

I made my own levels with Interactive 3D before along with my own textures for walls and objects. For the most part, I never made anything truly unique to where I made my own game. Most of my work was done with the 2.1 version of I3D.

The older version of Interactive 3D did not have sounds to it. When I tried using I3D on modern systems, the program ran very slowly. The first version of I3D did not have any sounds whatsoever. It was strictly an exploration deal. It had only one enemy- the Bugbot. No matter how many times you shot at it, it will not die. Your "gun" is basically for hit detection.

A later version of Interactive 3D had much more stylish art as well as some sounds. There were many different enhancements to this version, including textured floors and ceilings, fog effects, and a panorama sky. It also had some diagonal walls to it- something your average Wolfenstein 3D-style engine could not reproduce. You could also kill off the enemies and destroy a number of the props. Speaking of enemies, while the Bugbot returned, this version of I3D also introduced an Android enemy. Just like the previous I3D, this is all basically a demo model you can modify.

Looking Back on Interactive 3D.

I3D was a fine package for envisioning my own Wolfenstein 3D-style experience. Being a teenager in the 1990s playing this didn't mean I was going to make the next banger of a first-person shooter, but at least I could pretend! Even my brutally slow computer at the time back then still had the power to play this game effectively. I3D helped fuel gaming dreams in ways I never thought possible. I had no programming knowledge, little digital art skill, and a big imagination. It was all I needed to try and enjoy I3D back in my youth. Anyone who was able to try out I3D got to enjoy what was possible with this package.

For More Information...

The reason why I came up with this blog post is because there is very little info on this program, and I wanted to bring exposure to it from my past. So this is about the best resource I can provide in letting you see what I3D was all about. Click on the following link to get to try out I3D: I3D (Interactive 3D) Tool Kit Demo.

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition

Rise of the Triad may be from 1995 old, but this DOS game is a very unique first-person shooter experience. You represent an operateive of the counter-terrorist group known as HUNT exploring San Nicolas Island. You and your team were set to investigate an old monastery on San Nicolas Island. Reports indicated that a cult was hellbent on destroying the world. As you found what you were looking for, the boat was blown up. Now the only way out... is in. So begins your mission to kill the cult leader, El Oscuro, and all of the many minions that inhabit this crazy monastery. While this post was originally about base "Rise of the Triad," this post will now about about "Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition."

---

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition

---

^ from: GOG.com - "They'll bury you in a lunch box!" Get ready for first-person shooter madness never before seen with Rise of the Triad, and its Ludicrous Edition.

"Rise of the Triad" is a game whose origins date back to 1994. It originally began life as an enhanced "Wolfenstein 3D." Its storyline even was an extension of the Wolfenstein 3D storyline whereas three powers came together to form the ultimate evil. Hence- the Triad namesake. Over time, though, the story changed up to something completely not associated with Wolfenstein 3D.

The Ludicrous Edition of ROTT is the ultimate ROTT experience featuring four campaigns in one package. It also features a handful of extras and enhanced material for the best possible ROTT experience. Some of those extras include alternate actors as well as remixed songs. As with most modern games, this package includes a handful of achievements you must try to accomplish.

The Campaigns.

These are the four campaigns of ROTT's Ludicrous Edition:

• The HUNT Begins: The shareware campaign of ROTT.
• Dark War: The registered campaign of ROTT.
• Extreme ROTT: an add-on package that can be difficult to near impossible to beat.
• The HUNT Continues: the exclusive campaign with brand-new levels.

The HUNT Begins allows you to play the original shareware missions from 1994. You won't get all of the stuff included with the registered version, but you will get a basic introduction to the ROTT storyline. It has one episode and at least 10 levels.

Dark War features four episodes and over 40+ episodes. This is the story where you go against El Oscuro and his three top bosses. You also get to use newer weapons and battle newer enemies.

Although Extreme ROTT is an add-on campaign, it is an add-on package featuring difficult (and sometimes unfair) levels. It will test your patience at times.

The HUNT Continues is the exclusive campaign of ROTT Ludicrous Edition with four episodes and about five to seven less episodes compared to Dark War. You get to battle the forces of El Oscuro once again but in completely new settings.

You're going to be quite busy here. ROTT Ludicrous Edition also lets you create your own levels.

Characters.

There are five characters to choose from. Each character has their own advantages and disadvantages. Take a look:
• Taradino Cassatt - fairly average in all departments.
• Thi Barrett - the female equivalent of Taradino but with less stamina. Pronounced "Tee."
• Doug Wendt - built like a tank and can take a beating, but is very slow.
• Lorelei Ni - very quick and speedy, but she is very fragile. She is not good at taking beatings.
• Ian Paul Freeley (yes, I.P. Freeley) - fairly average character overall. Can't really tell what makes him much different from the other five.

Weapons.

To save the world, you have a handful of weapons. The coolest aspect of this game is that you don't have to go around picking up ammo from dead enemies just to have enough bullets left. Your bullet ammunition is UNLIMITED! You are armed with simply a pistol to begin with. You can pick up an extra pistol for two-handed goodness. The best bullet weapon is your MP40. It will save you lots of trouble when you don't have any missile weapons. Speaking of which... there are a number of them. Here is more about each:

NOTE: Items only in the full version are in braces ({}).

• Bazooka - a straight-shooting missile weapon. You get ten shots with these. In the hardest setting, some Lightning Guard enemies use bazookas that you can pick up if you kill them. More experienced and daring players can "bazooka boost" to lift themselves over some obstacles and reach some unreachable points.

• Heatseeker - a homing missile weapon. You get only seven shots. This can come in very handy when trying to hide or attack from a fixed distance.

• Drunk Missile - a weapon that shoots several heat-seeking missiles at once. You have up to seven shots.

• Flamewall - a weapon that shoots a wall of flames. A heavy missile falls to the ground, leaving a trail of flames upon impact to the ground. You can also fire the Flamewall at the ground to quickly take care of a pack of enemies. You get only five shots.

• Firebomb - a straight-shooting missle that explodes a cross-like pattern of flames. This is by far the most powerful missile weapon. You only get five shots with this weapon. Absolutely NOT recommended for close-quarters combat!

• {Split Missile} - a two-way weapon used to take out one enemy or two in the area. Hold down the Fire button for a single straight shot, and tap for the Split Missile to attack the two nearest targets. It has about the quickest firing rate of all missile weapons.

• {Excalibat} - a baseball bat enchanted with evil energy, this can be a good weapon to use to take out multiple enemies in a lot of space. Swings of the Excalibat are unlimited. However, hold down the Fire button to charge to 10 shots of its spread attack that shoots multiple baseballs around the area. It is not a good idea to use this area in confined spaces.

• {Dark Staff} - the Dark Staff delivers powerful magic strikes in a straight line. Each of its charges emits a powerful magic strike. This is not recommended a weapon if you are quickly trying to take out enemies.

Items and Powerups.

There are a number of items and powerups to help you out. Here are some or all of them:

• Monk Meal - recovers one unit of health.

• Priest Porridge - told to be porridge made from the remains of murdered priests, these bowls of porridge recovers two units of health. However, there if you find a way to heat up the porridge, you can recover much more health.

• Healing Basin - drink water from these basins to recover energy. However much energy you recover varies.

• Small Monk Crystal - these crystals will recover a small amount of health upon pickup.

• Large Monk Crystal - the largest heal outside of a Full Health powerup can be had with the large monk crystal.

• Asbestos Armor - temporarily projects you from fire and projectile attacks. You can still take damage from projectile attacks, but they won't hurt you as much.

• Bulletproof Armor - temporarily projects you from gun fire. Find one of these before going into an area with a lot of gun-toting enemies or against gun turrets.

• Ankh - every Ankh symbol collected is good towards adding extra lives. There are four different ankh symbols- the basic silver one with a ring outside of it grants one life point. A bronze ankh with a granite background grants five life points. A bronze ankh outlined with beaded accents grants ten life points. Finally, a red ankh with two rings encircling it grants 25 life points.


Now some (or all) of the powerups...

• Mercury Mode - allows you to float into the air. This can help you reach high up places or get over obstacles like lava pits.

• Blue Ankh - gives full health. If already with a lot of health or full health, it grants an extra life.

• Green Ankh - gives full health. If already with a lot of health or with full health, it grants three extra lives. If not at full health, it recovers full health and gives two extra lives. These are rare to find.

• Elasto Mode - you bounce around the level! It sounds fun until you realize you're in a room filled with dangerous obstacles...

• Shrooms Mode - your vision shifts wildly, and your accuracy becomes distorted. On the other hand, using this powerup can help you get some hints about getting through a level. For example, some of the columns you can push while in Shrooms Mode will be highlighted to let you know what to push.

• God Mode - temporary invulnerability, and you can fire blasts that home in on enemies and kill enemies on impact.

• {Dog Mode} - you are invulnerable, and also pretty powerful. Use this fierce power to viciously rip apart your enemies. You can also use this mode to access narrow openings.

Hazards.

Many hazards (besides the enemies themselves) get in your way in kicking El Oscuro's butt. Here are some (or maybe all) of them:

* Fire Jets - flames shoot up from the ground or from the top. Run through it, and you'll become barbequed on the spot.

* Flame Walls - run into these, and you get burned up. Simple enough? Funny thing is, some of these flame walls can be pushed as push walls. Some of these walls even move randomly, making the trail through each level even more treacherous.

• Fire Chutes - walls that shoot flames will hit anything and everything in their way. Switches and/or Touchplates can disable (or enable) them.

* Spear Rack - a rack of spears shoot up from the ground, piercing into you upon arrival. They may also shoot downward from a ceiling.

* Spinblades - run into these to get your own complimentary flesh wounds. Some of these even shoot up from the ground or ceiling.

* Lava pits - avoid these at all costs! Stepping on these hot coals will slowly chip into your health.

* {Boulders} - rolling boulders fall from the ceiling, down to the ground, and rolling over.

* {Pits} - running over these areas will cause you to fall in. It takes a keen eye to find the pit areas on the ground. It isn't too hard to find these pits on the ground once you really notice the floor.

• {Boulders} - Boulders fall from the ceiling and roll straight, running over anything and everything they touch.

Enemies: Basic.

In this section, you will be introduced to some of the enemies in this game. This a description of some of the enemies you will be facing. They will be described by their appearance:

• Low Guard - a basic grunt that carries a pistol, wearing a gray jacket and black pants. Some play dead and awaken when the player draws near.

• Lightning Guard - an enemy in a dark green coat that carries a pistol. On the hardest setting, some fire bazooka rounds at you. Some may beg when they're about to die. If so, finish them off quickly! Some may drop their bazookas if there is still some ammo left in them (only on the hardest setting).

• High Guard - a bearded enemy in a dark green coat that carries an MP40. Waste them quickly because their MP40 shots can do some damage.

• Strike Force - an athletic enemy in a beige outfit, carrying a pistol. They can roll out of the way of missile fire and can be pesky to take down. It's best to take them down quickly with your MP40 (if you have one).

• Patrol Robot - a robot enemy that shoots drones. It can only be destroyed with missile weapons.

• Ballistikraft - a robot that fires drones and missiles. They cannot take damage or be destroyed. So if you see one, run.

• Triad Enforcer - a man in a gray/grey suit with a chaingun. It takes many hits to take him down. He also attacks by throwing grenades. Rely on missile weapons to defeat him quickly. This is the toughest enemy in the game and the toughest enemy in the Shareware version.


Here are a few more in the full game: • Overpatrol - an officer in a black outfit. Overpatrols fire a pistol but also can shoot nets at you. If caught in the net, you'll need to have a knife to cut your way through or find some other way out.

• Turrets - There are two kinds of gun turrets: (1) a gun turret that rises up and quickly attacks you with relentless gunfire, and (2) a gun turret that fires in four directions when you approach it or enter its firing sight.

• Death Monk - these monks are mostly quiet and do not do any damage until they get close to you. They can take a lot of shots before being finally defeated, so you may want to use any missile weapons if you want to make quick work of them.

• Deathfire Monk - a small monk that fires energy at you. Kill them quickly because their monk fireballs can do some serious damage.

Enemies: Bosses.

You can only damage these bosses with missile weapons. I'll just describe them for the most part. Don't expect any advice on beating them here.

• General John Durian - A boss in a green jacket and white pants that totes a bazooka.

* Sebastian Krist - a man that rides in some sort of motorized chair that is armed with mines and bazookas.

* NME - a formidable and large robotic enemy that is very quick with powerful attacks. It is the toughest boss in the entire game with its great speed, homing missile attacks, and fireballs.

* El Oscuro - El Oscuro. Yes- that's all I'll say about him! You're on your own for this one.


A fun fact is that each of the enemies are actually Apogee employees that lend their image as enemies in this game.

Multiplayer.

The game features lots of Comm-Bat modes ranging from Deathmatch to various triad-collecting modes. There is support for as many as 11 different players.

My Opinions...

---

Rise of the Triad is a fantastic game. And from a guy who's played two different Shareware versions, it was a great joy to play this full game after years of not getting this game in the past. A lot of people say that this game wasn't all that spectacular for one reason- 90-degree walls. This game can be thought of as Super Wolfenstein 3D the way everything is executed. Instead of wasting Nazis in World War 2 at Castle Wolfenstein, you're trying to eliminate a religious cult and its minions at a monastery on San Nicolas Island in the future.

While it is okay to dismiss this game as a Wolfenstein 3D clone, this game is a first-person masterpiece with a very arcade feel. Its funny nature makes it stand out from the more iconic first-person shooters.

For More Information...

You can look up the original spec "Rise of the Triad" through 3D Realms' site here: Rise of the Triad - Original Spec. To buy "Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition" on Steam, please visit: "Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition" on Steam. Or get it on GOG here: "Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition" on GOG.





Give this game a try and immerse yourself in a very fun first-person shooter. It is from 1994, so don't expect any modern things most first-person shooters today have to them.

Baku City Circuit

Many people can't find Azerbaijan or Baku on a map. Ever since 2016, though, it has played host to Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. I am not as educated about today's F1. After seeing it and thinking about it, this is a pretty interesting race track. So I'll be talking about the Baku City Circuit in this blog post.

Fun Fact:

Baku, Azerbaijan is a Sister City of Houston. Find out about other Sister Cities of Houston here: www.sistercitieshouston.org.

Baku City Circuit

---

Here is a look at the Baku City Circuit:




^ from: (Wikipedia) - Baku is the fourth-longest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar and one of the fastest temporary courses in the world.

Baku is the capital of the transcontinental European country of Azerbaijan. This track debuted in 2016 and is a great challenge among one of the more modern Formula 1 racing circuits. It is also one of the fastest of the temporary courses. Baku City Circuit is all of 3.730 miles (6.003 kilometers) in length. It was developed by a familiar figure- Hermann Tilke.

The first six corners of Baku are all 90-degree corners. It is a series of left, left, left, right, left, and right. You fly into Turn 1 before facing the first corner. A brief straight follows leading into Turn 2. A straight about three times longer than between Turns 1 and 2 follows leading into the left at Turn 3. A short straight connects Turn 3 with the right at Turn 4. After a medium straight, the Turn 5 and 6 chicane complex follows. The road bends a bit leading into a very sharp right at Turn 7 follows. The toughest corner on the track is the Castle corner, a one-lane left-right chicane that makes up Turn 8 of Baku. Afterwards, the track goes uphill a bit. Turns 9 through 11 is an uphill series that goes uphill. Turns 9 and 10 are a double apex left connected to the right at Turn 11. After Turn 11, the track goes downhill into the left at Turn 12. A brief uphill follows into a kink at Turn 13 followed by going downhill into another kink at Turn 14. Turn 15 is an open sharp left that goes downhill. Be careful not to tag the outside wall upon exit. After going downhill out of Turn 15, Turn 16 is another open 90-degree corner. A rather sharp right kink for Turn 17 follows. Turn 18 is a medium left followed by a medium right at Turn 19. After that, it is flat out to the finish line or make a pit stop. The only thing is that a fast right kink makes up Turn 20 down this front stretch. That is my lap description of Baku. Formula 1 cars could reach over 200 mph heading into Turn 1 after the long front straight.

To me, the Baku City Circuit is as technical as the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore, and very fast like Sochi. I like the challenge it provides. I have never played this track in any game or simulator, so I don't know the actual experience of this track. The lap record for Baku is 1:43.009 by Charles LeClerc in 2019 for Scuderia Ferrari.

Video Preview.

Here is a lap demonstration of Baku:

Women in Gridiron Football

Gridiron football is exciting to watch. It is such an intense and gritty sport. It's a real man's game. *record scratch* "Excuse me- MAN's sport? Us girls can play football too!" Women in gridiron football is nothing new. Even if women's gridiron football is not as popular as watching the boys play football, at least Girl Power can be had on the gridiron. To that end, allow me to blog about feminine football.

By the way... Merry Christmas, mates! :)

Women in Gridiron Football

---

Many people usually don't think females can hold their own in gridiron football. Some people may have their best memory of women in football with the popular Lingerie Bowl. That is not what I am going to discuss in this blog post. I'm talking about actual, lace-em-up, tackling gridiron football- just like the boys do.

Some people who follow college football may remember a young lady named Katie Hnida, who was a field goal kicker for the University of Colorado Buffaloes. She would later transfer to the University of New Mexico Lobos. Katie Hnida became the first female to play NCAA Division 1 football when she played back starting in 2002. A later woman would make her mark named Sarah Fuller (also a kicker) for the Vanderbilt University Commodores circa 2020.

In 2023, a woman in NCAA Division 3 school Shenandoah University became the first female non-kicker to play college football. Haley Van Voorhis played safety for the Shenandoah Hornets against the Eagles of Juniata College. Her team won that game 48-7.

Here in the Houston area, I recall a radio personality named Julie Takahashi who played for a local women's football team called the Houston Energy. This team would play their games at The Rig in Pearland, Texas, USA; usually home to the Pearland High School Oilers.

Could a Big Breakthrough for Women Happen in Gridiron Football?

Imagine the following things happening in top-level college football, professional arena football, or even the NFL:

• a female quarterback
• a female quarterback who leads her team [of males] to the postseason
• a female quarterback who wins a championship for her [male-dominant] team
• a female offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and/or even head coach of a playoff/postseason team
• an all-female coaching staff
• (perhaps) all-female offensive line, defensive line, special teams, two of the three, or all three... against an all-male team

Many of these concepts may seem far-fetched, but these are things that would certainly make female football fans happy. It would even be something of a cool story for males to want to get excited about. We have seen loads of feminine breakthroughs and trail blazers in many different arenas. Seeing such breakthroughs in gridiron football would be amazing.

---

Women's Football Leagues

---

I will briefly share some leagues that feature women's gridiron football. You can click on the headers to visit their official websites (if offered). Let me further expand this topic.

Women's Football Alliance.

The Women's Football Alliance (WFA) is one of the longest-running leagues dedicated to women's gridiron football. It was founded in 1999. Like certain collegiate athletics leagues, the WFA has divisions of competition. The WFA has an incredible 60 teams in this league. So you are probably sure you will find a team in your area in the United States.

Here is a sample of WFA Football:

^ WFA 2021 Promo

X League.

Unlike the WFA, the X League is an arena gridiron football league for women. There are only eight teams in this league spread across the United States. It was founded in 2009 as the Lingerie Football League. It was rebranded in 2013 as the Legends Football League. Its current name, the Extreme Football League (or X League), was established in 2020. The league has had here-and-there seasons. Some years had no season of X League football. As one can tell by its former names, this is a league lots of males (and perhaps some females as well) would love- a league with women passing and tackling in lingerie and in protective football gear.

Here is a sample of X League football:

^ X League | 2022 Season | X League on FAN PASS | LA Black Storm Highlights


These were the only two still-running leagues I could pull up. There were some women's football leagues others, but these leagues went defunct, so I didn't include them. Final thoughts coming up...

Women In Gridiron Football: Gridiron Football

---

Many sports fans usually discredit something like women in gridiron football much like how some dismiss the WNBA vs. the NBA. Some think the game of gridiron football is best played by males. Just the fact that women play gridiron football as competitively as the men do is worthy of praise. It is about expanding the sport and perhaps inspiring future generations of female football players. Even with the *male-dominated* realm of gridiron football, at least females shown they can play this sport as well as any male can. If women shown they can be great basketball players with the likes of the WNBA, women can also show they can play on or around the same level as males. Girls can play gridiron football just like the boys can. Put some respect on these ladies' names and give them their flowers. It's all about GIRL POWER to gridiron football!

Laufey

(UPDATED: February 18, 2024)

Laufey (pronounced "lay-vay") is a jazz singer who has popularized jazzy singing lately. This Icelandish singer of Iceland-China decebt who is a throwback that brings old time jazz singing to modern times. She does this so beautifully. She is a jazz throwback whose attention is deserved for her wonderful style of music. I will be using this space to blog about Laufey.

LATEST UPDATE(S)/REVISION(S)...

Laufey

---

Meet Laufey:


^ from: www.laufeymusic.com - This jazz singer from Iceland will captivate you with her style of old time jazz singing.

Laufey comes across as this modern songbird who is a musical throwback to the golden era of jazz music. Laufey is from Iceland and is of Icelandic-Chinese descent. She brings old style jazz singing to the modern musical realm. Her singing voice is deep, but also sweet. In fact, Laufey patterns her singing style after one of the all-time greats in any musical genre- Ella Fitzgerald. She is also a "Swiftie," a big fan of Taylor Swift. Laufey calls her fans as "Lauvers." Get it- lovers? Lauvers? (clears throat) Anyhow...

My introduction to Laufey began when I heard her sing "From the Start." The song had an air of innocence and fun while also having a singing style reminiscent of old movie songs and old time jazz. I then started hearing "Bewitched" among her other songs. "Bewitched" literally sounds like a song in some 1940s or 1950s movie. I'd then hear other songs such as "I Wish You Love," "Valentine," "Falling Behind," and one of her oldest songs, "Street By Street."

What I love most about Laufey is how her singing reminds you of some songs sung in older movies. She literally brings that style of singing to modern times to a younger audience. Laufey is 24 as of December 11, 2023 (born April 23, 1999); but you almost wonder if Laufey actually comes from the past and living in the present the way she sings.

Congratulations, Laufey!

(added: February 18, 2024) At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Laufey won her first Grammy award for "Best Traditional Pop Album" for her "Bewitched" album. Hopefully this will be the first of many accolades for Laufey.

What I Would Tell Laufey (if she were to read this)...

Your music and your style of music are amazing! Even as most people are indulged into the likes of hip-hop, rock, and various forms of electronic music; you are making strides in a genre not as many people listen to. You are also singing very well at it. I have the greatest of respect for you and your music. Keep up the great work!

Music Samples.

Here is a sample of Laufey's singing for you all now. Have a listen to this fun and peppy song:

Nicole (also known as "Nicka") is a great Filipino singer with a wonderful personality and great singing ability. I will be showcasing her in my latest blog post. So if you're game, let's get it!

Thank You All!

Meet Nicole Forcadela:


^ from: (Spotify) - This is Nicole Forcadela, a Filipino singing superstar and overly entertaining personality.

Nicole Forcadela (or "Nicka") is a singer from the Philippines. She sings regularly on her Twitch channel both from home and with some live appearances. Nicole is usually the fun person parading with koalas. Nicole's fans are called as "Nickanatics." She has been singing just about most of her entire life, stemming from four years old or so. The ability to convey messages and have you latch on to each note and each verse she sings is paramount to what makes Nicole Forcadela such an excellent singer.

On the live show circuit, Nicole Forcadela sings at a popular grand hotel in Manila, Philippines. This is where Nicole/Nicka is all dolled up and elegant singing her heart out. She brings the same great singing style from her home shows to her live gigs. However, she is a bit more professional and focused when performing these live gigs. The two situations are different, but Nicole knows how to entertain crowds. Most of all, she brings a "good vibes only" kind of personality filled with positivity and charm. This often times includes Nicole offering positive thoughts after singing certain songs.

I discovered Nicole Forcadela on Twitch recommendations. I visited her channel when not Followed, and I thought she was very cool, so I offered a Follow. I love her humorous and lighthearted personality she brings to her streams. Outside of the live gigs she takes part in, most of her regular streams follow a certain color theme. These streams usually have a certain background color in which even Nicole wears an outfit of a certain color to match. The most special color to her regular streams is purple/violet, since it was the first color she themed her stream after.

As a singer, Nicole Forcadela delivers a bold singing voice and a sassy style. She sings very well. In her in real life gigs, the lighthearted style becomes more serious, yet Nicole still delivers a fabulous singing performance while being all dolled up. Nicole knows how to entertain or make you smile. I think you should visit Nicole's Twitch channel to hear her singing and to take in her eccentric personality. You should also get to visit Nicole's homepage to learn her story.

My Message to Nicole Forcadela (if she read this).

Nicole/Nicka, I enjoy watching your streams and hearing you sing. You are one of the most expressive and eccentric personalities online, and you do a fabulous job with your work. You are a great singer whether in normal streams or doing your live gigs. I wish you the best in all of your work. Thank you so much for your amazing work and sharing your voice and personality to the world.

NHL in Houston?

Houston has teams like the Texans of the NFL, the Rockets of the NBA, the Astros of Major League Baseball, and Houston Dynamo FC of MLS. It once had a WNBA team called the Comets, and AHL hockey team called the Houston Aeros. Speaking of hockey, what if the city of Houston had an NHL team? Could top-level hockey succeed in Houston? I want to open this floor to discussion of if Houston had an NHL team. Let's get started!

BEFORE I BEGIN...

All of the material expressed in this post are mostly based on opinion and speculation. It is not entirely based on investigative reporting or deep research. Do not take too much of what you are about to read too seriously. This post is, however, professional enough to warrant proper discussion of the topic at hand.

NHL in Houston?

---

^ from: (Wikipedia) - Hockey in Houston was last possible with this team- the Houston Aeros. Could Houston join the NHL? Should the NHL go through Houston? This blog post of mine will share my innermost thoughts.

The National Hockey League is one of the most competitive and fun pro sports in America. While I don't watch hockey as much as I used to with the days of NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), I do watch hockey from time to time. I do love watching hockey. There were some plans for if/when the city of Houston has an NHL team. We did have the Houston Aeros of the WHA (World Hockey Association) and the AHL (American Hockey League) before they moved and rebranded as the Iowa Wild. I even been to the final-ever(?) game the Houston Aeros had in 2013 before moving to Iowa. We played against the San Antonio Rampage, and the Aeros won that night. I even saw a good hockey fight in that game! :)

To my knowledge, Houston never had an NHL team. According to the Houston Chronicle, Houston has been the largest city without an NHL team since 1967. We are a proud sports city with lots of talented players, teams, and sporting events. Houston has hosted events like the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals (in the "Clutch City" days), the MLB All-Star Game, the World Series, the College Football Playoff in 2024, the NCAA Men's Final Four, the MLS All-Star Game, some top-level soccer games, and even Wrestlemania among other sporting events. We're even hosting some games in the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup here in Houston. Houston is currently buzzing with the Houston Texans and CJ Stroud, the Houston Rockets starting 2023-2024 from 0-3 to now 6-3 and a six game winning streak, and let's not forget the run the Astros have had since about 2016 and two World Series titles (2017 title controversial).

What if you're a hockey fan who wants to enjoy some hockey in Houston? You don't have that choice. There have been here-and-there rumblings of Houston getting an NHL team. What was the most likely scenario was if the Arizona Coyotes wanted to relocate. It may ultimately come down to if a completely new team joins the NHL like the league's most recent team, the Seattle Kraken. Who knows? Maybe Houston gets an NHL team and may one season hoist the beautiful Stanley Cup and become NHL champions. Possibilities are endless!

Let's think about the logistics of the NHL in Houston now.

NHL in Houston: Logistics

---

The City of Houston is a great place for sports, even if a lot of the sports teams haven't been too successful. Only a handful of American cities have franchises in the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, and the NHL. Houston is one of the largest and finest cities in America. Having an NHL hockey team would further solidify this city as a world-class city. Here are some talking points now.

Before I get into the logistics of an NHL team, let me address something I think will be a main talking point about Houston getting an NHL team:

Does Houston Deserved to be Considered a "Hockey Town?"

Some purists of NHL teams feel hockey only exists and only should exist in Frost Belt states or in Canada. Last I checked... places like Dallas, Tampa Bay, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles aren't exactly Winter Wonderlands. Heck, I've even seen on the college front schools like Arizona State and Tennessee State with hockey teams. So what makes Houston less qualified a city if you think only actually cold places should have hockey teams compared to other cities that aren't exactly "Winter Wonderland" or "Hockey Cities?" It rarely snows in Arizona or Nevada, and I don't think Winter even exists in Florida. You could even put an NHL team in Hawaii/Hawai'i for all I care! As long as a team can be competitive and financially stable, any place can be worthy of an NHL franchise, including Houston.

People normally think Texas is a football state (and it still is). However, recent success of the Houston Astros winning two World Series and (cringe...) the Texas Rangers winning the 2023 World Series shows a recent trend of baseball success in the state of Texas. The Dallas Stars won it all in 1999. Who's to say maybe the Houston NHL team doesn't win a title as well should one form here?

Now that I cleared this up, let's talk about more important matters of the NHL in Houston.

Expansion or Relocated?

I feel there may be an expansion team more than a team relocating. I doubt some other team besides the Arizona Coyotes would be so disinterested in staying and decide to come to Houston. The last NHL such team I can remember relocating was when the Atlanta Thrashers moved out of Atlanta to become the Winnipeg Jets.

How about this for a weird scenario- the Oilers return to Houston! Only... they play hockey. Imagine if the Edmonton Oilers relocated to Houston and became the Houston Oilers. I know that will NEVER happen, but it's a weird concept. It's okay to be weird! :D

Team Name and Colors?

I wondered among my fellow Houstonians- do you bring back the Aeros but make them an NHL team name? Or do you go with some sort of team nickname unique to Houston and/or Texas? Do you also try not to use some overused nickname- such as all the Cougars, Tigers, Wildcats, Bulldogs, Eagles, Cardinals, and such in college sports?

Let's say Houston goes the route of unique and indigenous namesakes. When names were being decided for the name of Houston's new NFL team after the Houston Oilers moved out of Houston and became the Tennessee Titans, one of the team nicknames for the ultimately named Texans was the "Wildcatters." That's because one of Houston's nicknames is the "Wildcat City." Wildcatters sound kind of lame to me. Besides the University of Houston Cougars, we have one cat-themed team called the Sabercats of Major League Rugby. The NHL already has a cat team- the Florida Panthers. Surely a livestock-themed team would be completely indigenous to Houston and Texas. Or maybe Houston highlights on space exploration and name their team based on astronomy. We obviously can't be the Stars, because Dallas; and I am not sure using "Comets" would work since that was the name of Houston's WNBA team (I may discuss the Houston Comets in a future blog post). We also could name our team after our insights on energy and oil. I am not sure what a good nickname for Houston would be.

When I researched this topic, some suggested names for a Houston NHL team include the aforementioned Aeros. Also possible names are the Houston Stallions, the Houston Wranglers, and the Houston Bulls. Some people even believe the Coyotes would eventually relocate and become the Houston Coyotes.

Since the Houston Aeros of the WHA and AHL were the AHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, they had Wild colors- green, red, and white. Back in the WHA days, however, the Aeros wore a dark blue, a lighter blue, and white. Those are your three options- (1) bring back the blue and white colors, (2) bring back the green/red/white colors, or (3) come up with a completely different color scheme overall devoid of any WHA or AHL affiliations.

Potential Opponents and Conference?

One of the most obvious opponents for Houston's NHL team would be an in-state rivalry with the Dallas Stars. I could see a possible rivalry with the Arizona Coyotes since the Coyotes were long seen as a possible team. I could also see a rivalry with the Nashville Predators. Houston vs. Nashville is already apparent in the NFL with the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans. However, I think the greater rival would be the Dallas Stars. We all know Houston-Dallas rivalries including the NBA's "Texas Triangle."

I am absolutely certain Houston would be in the Central Division of the NHL. This would give the Central Division nine teams while the other three divisions have eight teams each.

Arena?

The most likely home of the Houston NHL team would be Toyota Center. That's especially if Tillman Fertitta is funding everything the effort to bring the NHL to Houston.

Second most likely would be using an existing arena. Towards the sunset of the WNBA's Houston Comets, the Comets played at Reliant Arena (now NRG Arena). I am not sure if people would pack the house at NRG Arena as they would for almost any event at Toyota Center. The days of Six Flags Astroworld are [sadly] long gone. The Astros moved from the Astrodome to today's Minute Maid Park, the Houston Oilers moved from the Astrodome to Nashville and rebranded as the Tennessee Titans, and it is really the Houston Texans keeping alive the area now known as NRG Park. I also don't see even the Fertitta Center (formerly Hoffheinz Pavillion) hosting any hockey outside of it being the home of the University of Houston's basketball.

The most unlikely scenario would be a completely new, hockey-specific arena. For that to happen, the Houston NHL team would have to be so good that it gets its own arena and not have to share it with another Houston sports team. This is more down-the-road stuff.

Players and Coaching Staff?

The Vegas Golden Knights had a solid lineup for when they picked out their players for their maiden season in the NHL. I'd have to imagine the Houston NHL team would pick up either some talented free agents or some talented college or international players for their hockey team.

It may also be possible for having some unemployed coaches and coaching staff members help coach up a new Houston NHL team. If coaches see the potential to coach a young team starting up in Houston, that coach will surely take up on that offer and try to coach Houston to success.

Financial Feasibility?

A professional sports team will never prosper with unloyal fans and improper management. I'd have to wonder issues like taxation and such would be factors in determining whether an NHL hockey franchise will last as long as possible in Houston. A number of Houston natives and residents would lovingly support an NHL team here should one come to form both as a team and financially.

Another aspect on financial concerns would be in television deals. In 2023, it was announced that AT&T SportsNet Southwest would rebrand as the Space City Home Network (SCHN). SCHN is the television home of the Houston Rockets and the Houston Astros. I am probably sure it could serve as the home of the Houston NHL team as well. Of course, national broadcasts of Houston's NHL team would be on the likes of ESPN and TNT. Maybe also on the NHL Network.


Well, this was about as many things I could speculate on regarding the NHL in Houston.

Farmers Markets

If you want quality food and fresh ingredients, you may want to visit a farmers market. Rather than the usual processed food, a farmers market offers edibles made from fresh ingredients from outsourced farms. So you know you are getting quality produce and other items from quality sources. I'll be discussing farmers markets in this blog post. If this sort of thing interests you, perhaps I can pique your interest with this blog post. Let's get it!

Farmers Markets

---

I was kind of inspired to blog about this post when I visited the doctor's office recently. When I was having blood work done, I heard about a Houston Farmers Market in downtown that I didn't know we have. Let me set the tone for this discussion of farmers markets...


^ from: (Houston Chronicle) - Farm-to-market goodness happens with farmers markets. Enjoy the quality produce and other edibles only farmers markets can provide and from the farms that make it happen.

A farmers market offers up quality produce and other edibles sourced from farms and other local sources. These are products straight from the farm to market. You won't find anything that you may find at your average grocery store as opposed to a farmers market. It is possible you may even get unique produce, meals, spices, seasonings, and more that no grocery store or general store could ever sell at a farmers market. For example, a farmers market may sell raw honey or maybe some unique spices and seasonings you can put on your food.

A lot of times, a farmers market is often well away from most urban locales. So you will probably have to go out into rural locations or even to certain farmlands not in any serious urban settings. However, urban areas will have certain conventions and events serving up farm-to-market produce and other items so you don't have to venture out to rural locales or suburbs outside of big cities. The quality of farm-to-market produce remains the same and with the same quality than if you ventured out into rural settings.

In a lot of cases, farmers market produce and goods are more fresh than any average grocery store's offerings. Some farmers market produce can even be healthier for you than a lot of grocery store goods. Their existence can be pretty beneficial in these regards. Having abundant produce and livestock is paramount to farmers markets being successful.

My Own Farmers Market Experiences.

Here in the Houston/Galveston area, the farmers market I know best is Frobergs Farms in Alvin, Texas, USA. I personally have not been to Froberg's in quite a few years, but I do remember seeing the many different farm-to-market produce it offers. There is even a strawberry field where one could pick out strawberries. Froberg Farms also has a smokehouse where you can purchase some good meat products. I know them best for their delicious cheddar sausage. I believe it is called Greak's Smokehouse.

Farmers Market Considerations.

The one thing I would probably consider a negative of farmers markets is some of their food possibly being raw. So you may be mindful of food illnesses and airborne illnesses should you consume their produce. You may need to properly cook everything and prepare everything so you will reduce the risk of any sort of food poisoning.

If there is a case where there is a drought or various other conditions that hamper farms being able to make such produce, these farmers markets can stumble. They need as many different resources to make their produce properly. A farmers market can not generate business without sufficient resources.

Should You Visit a Farmers Market?

I say you should visit a farmers market to enjoy quality produce and some unique edibles. It may a lot different if you are used to supermarkets, but you can still get some great produce and other things for your home. Enjoy the farm fresh experience that these farm-to-market farmers markets provide.





That concludes this post! Care to discuss? Here's my question to you:

Have you been to a farmers market? How do you feel about the experience of a farmers market?
