I bought Rare Replay again. Also I tried to play Monaco GP on Sega Classics Collection but it was scratched and wouldn't play. I ordered another copy. Then I played Forza Horizon 3 to compete with Mark for achievements.
I ran through my '79 pinball games on Pinball Arcade today and then played Forza Horizon 3 the rest of the time.
Sorry I haven't been blogging. I have a lot of stuff on my mind and a lot going on, so... I actually haven't done any writing since thanksgiving, a combination of the busyness of December and my own burn out. But my brother is headed back tomorrow and I'm feeling recharged, so I'm gonna go back to work in a few days. We've been chilling here, watching movies and playing games, but the only sad thing is my dog Taco Belle is on her last leg, and we will probably put her to sleep very soon. I love her very much and am very sad about it.
I played some Pinball Arcade on XBO, Pinball Hall of Fame: Gottlieb Collection on Wii, and Okami HD on XBO today.
These are all the Avengers figures from Wave 1 of Disney Infinity 2.0 releases. I have all of them.
So on Sunday I was roaming around Toys R Us before I had to do some grocery shopping and I found the Talos Principal Deluxe Edition, or whatever they call the one with extra stuff for $6 on the PS4. I thought about it, had it in my hand, and I was walking around the Nintendo section still holding this game but in the end I put it down. Why? Well I still have a ton of games I haven’t played and a handful I started but haven’t finished yet so why add to the mix? I put it down, and whoever picks it up, I hope you enjoy the game! This has been the mindset this year (and the final weeks of 2017) so I would just tackle whatever is in my Steam library, see if its worth playing, and decide if it should be installed (also the $6 I was going to use, I added it to my 52 Week Challenge). Also I played some games I’ve already been playing.
We’re going to do things a little differently this month. Usually at the beginning of January I’ll post my Game of the Year blog, and then I’ll write a blog after that about the games I’m looking forward to in the coming year. But this time we’re going to reverse that and I’m going to do my looking forward blog first. There’s a couple of reasons why I want to do it that way. First, there’s a couple of games that are coming out early this year that I want to put on this list before they’re actually released. And second, I want to wait a bit on my Game of the Year blog so I have time to play a couple of games that came out last year to see if they’ll make my list. So that blog won’t go up until later on in January. Hope nobody minds. Anyway, let’s take a look at some of the games that are coming out next year, at least the ones I know about anyway.
I just posted a blog about my gaming in 2017. But what about the ones I couldn't get to?
I can't quite remember when I actually played these, so they're in order of release. Source: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/every-game-release-date-in-2017/1100-6446643/
Two days ago, I set up my Wii to play 1979 games on Namco Museum's Megamix. Then I played Forza Horizon 3 a good long time. Then yesterday I put a little time into Etrian Odyssey V while I did wash at a laundramat.
I have been playing FF15, but I have been jumping from game to game like a looper. Though, I have never seen the film. I imagine that is how it would be.
Well Happy 2018 Pixl Peeps! I was going to do a blog on Monday but I really didn’t play a lot of games to complain/love/talk about but I am here for the Quick Hits because I have some things to share, say, and other random items that will pop in my head that I’m trying to write down on digital paper.
I got my Namco Museum working on my original Xbox finally (I forgot the disc the other day) and played some Galaxian. Then I played some Atari 2600 Bowling on Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 1 on Xbox One. Retro being done for the month, I got back to Forza Horizon 3 and felt like it would never end in any way.
2017 continued the blurry trend of recent years in flying by, and I continued my trend of attempting to play cool games, so let's talk about it. First up are all the games I beat this year and then how many I bought or somehow acquired (don't worry, I don't list those specifically). Be sure to stick around for the Golden Hippo Awards after that!
2017 was a great year for video games. It was personally a busy year for me, as I was finishing my Master's Degree and doing some traveling. So I wasn't able to beat as many games this year as usual, but that's okay. I finished a total of 11 games this year, so let me share these with you. I'm very excited for the new year, and I hope you are too.
Every month, another year forward in my life. I started 2017 with my birth year of 1967, and now I'm about to enter the 80s in 2018. I'm using this method to choose all types of media, but I'll focus on the games here.
I traded some old game systems today and got Forza Horizon 3 so I could play with Mark. Then I had to wait for the long 50 GB install and played whatever I had on my hard drive digitally. I started with Minecraft but then bought Romancing Saga 2 on sale with my remaining gift card money and played that.
It's been too bloody cold for too long here in Maine (and most of the rest of the USA and Canada), and the only time I've left the house in the last week has been to go to work. It's been so cold the dog's been switching which hind leg he stands on mid-pee. Today, however, a heat wave erupted and it got up into the mid-twenties. So I drove to Portland, picked up Jason, and we took Beau to the beach. And after the beach, we hit the mini mall with one of the book stores we got gift cards for, and it also has a Goodwill, and down the street is a Bull Moose Music.
Started my gaming today with a bunch of retro titles from Taito Legends Vol. 2 and Atari Flashback Classics. Then I saw the Necromancer DLC for Diablo III was on sale, so I used my MS bucks on that and played a bit. Then I got back into Forza Horizon 2, since Mark got FH3 and started playing that.
Hey guys, sorry I've been away for so long. Had a bit of a depressive slump, had a bit of a breakdown, had some life shit. It's okay though, I'm feeling a lot better now! Getting therapy, on decent meds and whatever, and while I still have my blue periods (gross), I'm a lot healthier and have a lot more confidence in myself. I know I was a complete and utter self destructive asshole who got swept up in being super selfish and in general kind of a cunt. At the same time though, I now recognise that I am getting better. I'm feeling empathy again, which means I also feel a lot of guilt over some things I have done that I don't overly want to go into here, but I also recognise that it's all part of getting better. Sometimes you have to feel worse to get better.
Second Wave characters of the first game include the Toy Story Playset and characters, but I just did those seperately, so these are the single characters I have that came out in the 2nd wave of releases.
