Good morning Pixlpeeps! I have been away for the last week because I have a family member in the hospital and I’ve spent a lot of time there and when I came home it was to eat bad fast food, watch some TV, and fall asleep. I think this maybe the first time in a week that I have actually really used my laptop. I may have powered it up yesterday to sign up for Discord to join the Pixlbit page and search for a cure on how to actually use a Fortnite account I have instead of the one the Switch signed me up for and I can’t get rid of (*hint, you don’t because Epic didn’t think of things like a Logout button). Anyways let’s get started with a combo Game/Quick Hits blog!

Fortnite - Switch

So it was free and I figured why not give it a spin? Instead of using the account I had on Epic and just went with the Switch and have it create an account for me and well that was my big mistake. I should have realized that if I wanted to try and use another account later it wasn’t going to happen because Nintendo or Fortnite give you an option to log-out. I realized my mistake when I tried using a nickname I am familiar with and found that it was taken…by my other account. This is what I get for trying to use Epic again after my the last fiasco.

The game itself isn’t bad. Graphics aren’t that great but with the art style who cares. I still have no idea what I am doing but I survived into I think the Top 20. The wall of purple is what eventually took me out because I got lost but hey I’m doing better. It’s free, fun to play on the couch, but if graphics are your thing, play on PC.

Mobile Game Madness

Marvel Super Heroes: I got fed up with my guild jumping in on a raid and not doing a damn thing so I voiced my opinion in the chat. I basically said that if people were going to jump into a raid at least contribute so we all can get better items. Well after that I’ve played two raid missions and well I was the only person. Whatever. People don’t want items to level up their characters than fine. I will just keep grinding and upgrading my squad.

There is a new Heroes event coming up and Marvel has been giving away character shards

I’m not complaining and one of my lesser characters level was raised from a 1 star to 2 star. There is also a return to collect Iron Man shards but you have to use SHIELD characters. I had to grind a bit to get two more SHIELD characters that I won’t use after the event because they are not strong, so this Iron Man event is going to be useless for me but I will be able to collect some shards and hopefully when it comes around again I should be able to unlock him.

Disney Heroes: In this guild the people are active and are actually working to unlock stuff, which is good. I unlocked a character and upgrade today: Wall-E, and I think a third star for one of my characters. I am one hundred tokens away from unlocking another character but I need to win some fights in the Coliseum but wins there are few and far between.

I was #1 for a short time. WOO HOO!

Apparently a year or two ago I played a Star Wars game like Marvel Super Heroes, and Disney Heroes. I forgot what the game is called but when I installed it my characters were in the high 40s, I had a ton of gold, premium currency, whatever the currency that sits between gold and premium and some other stuff. I did quite a bit of upgrading, unlocked new stuff, and took part in a raid where you take down a Rancor (I got my behind handed to me). I play this once or twice a day.

Quick Hits!

So I’ve had a steady diet of Hospital Cafeteria food which usually is a cheeseburger, and either some kind of grilled cauliflower and broccoli (really good), mashed potatoes, or last night’s option garlic potato wedges that were tasteless. I hit the point where the chef sees me and says “cheeseburger boss?” I pretend to look around but he knows I’m not going for the stale pizza or pork chops.

While I am here I did some things:

Chris Reads

I am 65% finished with Dan Brown’s Deception Point and hot damn this should be a movie. I should be done by next week and then I need to find another book. Between reading on the iPad, the Android Tablet, and sometimes the phone, I’m on a good pace in my reading.

Pickups

Games

iPad freebie

I haven’t tried it yet, but it was free so why not add it to the library and give it a spin later.

Music

Some pickups from the mall. First the mom & pop shop

The Buy 5 Get 3 $1.99 wall

And these are some other CDs. The top two are $1.99, and Us3 Greatest Hits/Remix album was .99 and the Elvis Vs JXL Little Less Conversation CD Single was .99

Last album is from Barnes & Noble and it’s to replace a digital copy of the album I currently have

I like SZA and this album is solid. At some point I really need to get back to updating my CD list.

Alright Pixlpeeps I need to get going. I need to run some errands before I make another trip to the hospital and have another cheeseburger and a somewhat healthy side option. Have a good weekend!

That’s all for now, more later!
