I watched Jackie Chan's 1978 movie Drunken Master and played new Games with Gold freebie, Telltale's Back to the Future: The Game.
I only vaguely remember the Cars playset in Disney Infinity. I think it was fine, but not too memorable. I got some of the figures, but not all. Here are what I have.
I like to think that today’s entry is more than ramblings on a Monday Morning but most likely it will probably be just that. Sure there was some game related stuff I did this past week, but other than a couple of spots here and there, I really wasn’t sitting in front of a screen with a controller in my hand for that long, so instead here we are with a couple of gaming items, stuff I found, and other semi-interesting randoms.
I just wanted to think back and see if I can remember what games I played thorughout the year. The idea is just to come up with a list now. This should allow me a reference point for when I start thinking about my favorite game(s) of the year.
I went to my local arcade tonight after work for an hour. It's called Pinball Arcade and it has pinball games and video games. I couldn't stay very long though because my back was killing me. It was a long day and when I'm tired my back on my upper right side starts screaming at me. Aside from being tired from work was that I had hardely eaten anything from about 8am until 5pm. I was fine until about 4 and then I started to fade. I got something to eat after work but I still wasn't right when I got to the arcade. So it kind of got in my way of enjoying it more.
It's been a long time since I've written a blog. I got overwhelmed with the large number of blogs my friends had written and that I didn't have time to read or comment on. Plus, I went through a long period of not gaming and didn't feel like I had anything to contribute. So I deleted 2000+ notices in my inbox and am starting from scratch.
Saw Star Wars The Last Jedi today with Mark and then went back to gaming and played the Evil Within 2 trial and Watchdogs, which I got for free some time ago on Xbox Games with Gold.
Yesterday, I bought a new gamer chair, finished up EDF, watched the 1978 Star Wars Christmas Special, and played the Wolfenstein II trial.
Merry Christmas! It’s time to do what I do every year and have my Cary’s Pretend Christmas Present Party! Here’s how it works. In the comments section, you give me a pretend present. It can be anything you want. It’s the thought that counts, literally, and it won’t cost you a dime! And then I’ll reply with a pretend present for YOU! It’s fun when it’s fun. Also, I have MORE presents for you, too! More game reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com! Just what you always wanted, right? Anyway, please read as many as you can and maybe even post a like or comment or two. I’d appreciate it!
I’m playing each level on both Easy and Hard difficulties. I finished 49 of 53 levels on Easy and about 37 on Hard. I tried several times on certain levels to beat them on Hard but couldn’t quite do it, so I’ll wait for better weapons and try again later. Hard difficulty on some levels was pretty easy, and so I went for Hardest, and in a few cases, Inferno.
They say it fixes some of the bugs. Hope it fixes the one where Rex runs away from battle and I have to haul him back in again. It's happened to me multiple times. One time he ran right off a cliff and died.
Appropriate that I’m playing a game in the future and the future is now. That being Earth Defence Force 2017. I’m looking at the sky right now to see if UFOs are here and landing giant insects and robots to take over the earth. Too bad I’m too old to join the Earth Defense Force, which you know exists in some dark site shelter somewhere. Then again, maybe I’m being trained as we speak to control an AI bot to do the actual run-and-gun. We’ll never know until it’s time.
Not much going on over here. I'm still working through both Breath of the Wild and Wolfenstein 2.
I started PUB G recently courtesy of my new roommate Mike. Goddamn, really? 2 Mikes?
Here are my Disney Infinity figures from the Incredibles movie.
Hello Pixlpeeps and welcome to the Fifth Annual Chris Goes All Awards Show. This is the blog where I look back at the games I’ve played this past year, find the ones that were my favorites among the consoles and handhelds I own and then ramble about them culminating in the one game I call my Game of the Year.
Going back to 1978 this month in my personal retrofest. Here's a list of stuff I want to see, hear, read, play from that year.
I have all the Monsters University figures for Disney Infinity. There's three of them. Here they are:
I played through the campaign of EDF 2017 today on Xbox One. It's a Xbox 360 game made backward compatible just a week or so ago. I played it some way back when but never got any achievements for it. This time I got one for completing all 53 levels on normal difficulty.
While I waited for EDF 2017 to install, and it took a long time because it got shifted down in the que without me knowing, and it just went slow, I played some more Minecraft.
I had to search for the actual game to find it. Searching demos didn't work.
Got myself lost in Minecraft: Xbox One Edition today, lost for days of in-game time. It's what happens when you think you know where something is in such a huge game world and don't have a good map.
