I picked this up on Switch yesterday after hearing good things about it and the good things I heard are all true!
June is the month I choose stuff from the years '90-'94. In games this means Sega Genesis and SNES, but I've got other media I'm experiencing too. Here's what's on my plate.
I played three games after the memorial day parade, which I went to for the first time in a long while. Notes follow.
I would like to say that I’ve been more creative with the games I’ve played over the past week, but it has been more of the same with me, except I did throw in some Switch gaming last night while watching parts of the Stanley Cup Finals/Raw/the local news. I really should dive into the Steam library and play some of the stuff I have installed but haven’t touched, and heck finish the games I already started. That is my current situation.
Where the hell did May go? June is right around the corner now. Well May was an interesting month to say the least. Not really bad which is a plus. I actually got some pretty good news. I dont think Ive posted anything here about it either.....I cant remember anyway. Regardless yall know how I was waiting to hear back about getting approved to be a Pharmacy Tech Trainee? Well I finally got a response from the board....and......I was APPROVED! Now this doesnt mean Im a Pharmacy Tech this just means I can be hired in a sorta intership like way to become a Pharmacy Tech. Places like Walgreens/CVS can train me in the Pharmacy and send me to school. They cover all the cost and apparently you only go for 1 day a week for 5 weeks. One of my friends is about to start her classes at the place she works so she filled me in on everything. Another person I convinced to do it is still waiting to hear back but Im pretty sure they will get approved. Im still working as a caregiver on overnights for the moment. I might be waiting till Fall for my career change only because I can help my sister with my niece on my current schdule a lot easier and Ill probably need to help till October. I have 2 years and it wont take that long to do what needs done.
I saw Solo on Friday. There was a whole group of cosplayers outside the theater: storm troopers, sandpeople, Chewy, Sabine, and Boba Fett. That sort of set the mood right. Then I finished the campaign in Rise of the Tomb Raider and tried to start some State of Decay 2 but it wasn't finished downloading so I played some Lego Batman. Notes follow.
Hello one and all! I am slowly returning to the Blog-O-Sphere. What am I currently playing you may ask. well here is a list.
Being lazy on Saturday morning while typing up my Quick Hits blog might be my new Friday entry. I like having a random podcast on, while propping the laptop on my legs. So how are you Pixlpeeps? Excited for the 3 Day weekend? I was planning on being lazy today but now I kind of want to go to the bank and deposit my check and maybe visit the Best Buy. Who knows, I might change my mind before this blog is done. Let’s get started!
The Garmin VivoSmart 3 smart watch I had my parents get me for my birthday was an $86 bust, but I'd waited more than a month to return it, so I could only get store credit yesterday.
I'm still playing Rise of the Tomb Raider. I died a new way: spikes. Sometimes there be pits with spikes. I didn't let that Bobcat get me though, or was it some kind of tiger? I don't know but I'm probably near the end of the story.
The first day was Skylanders Imaginators and the second Rise of the Tomb Raider. Notes to follow.
Up until last night I haven’t used Steam. Heck the only console I actually used was the PS3. The majority of my gaming has been on the iPad, with a sprinkling of games on the phone. I really wasn’t in the mood to click on the Steam icon, or connect my external Steam drive but when I came up with a new logo for my NBA 2K team I had a decent reason to use Steam…also to install some new games but let’s talk about the iPad games
I've got a new class this week learning how to create web pages, so I've been busy. But last weekend I got some gaming done. Here's the notes:
It is Saturday and here I am still in bed and why not write up a new Quick Hits especially since I haven’t done one in a bit. So how are you Pixlpeeps? I am good, just being lazy on Saturday and I have a couple of nerdy-ish things I want to do today but before I get going on the day let’s get this going.
There were actually quite a few movies that came out this Spring that interested me, so here’s a blog about them. I’ll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum, and I’ll try to make any spoilers I make very subtle, but just in case, I’ll put a spoiler warning here anyway.
What I learned yesterday is that many games follow a pattern of: level progression, then a boss fight, then repeat. I've developed a sort of dread of those boss fights as I sense their approach. They do, however, make a good bookmark in a game, a place to stop for a while just after they're done. Notes to follow.
The final building parts was pretty easy, I even got to paint a little. Its not the best but hopefully if I keep doing this sort of stuff Ill improve
Bombs are dropping in just under a month for E3, or as I call it, Summer Christmas. Though the first year of Switch was pretty busy, the next year is going to be just as promising so get your body ready for these 10 likely megatons:
