I am just going to do whatever housekeeping I have at the end of this entry.
Ya ever think you would see those 2 games in title together? I sure as hell wouldnt. However I did beat 2 games this month and sense I havent been in great health mental wise I decided to take some great advice from one of out lovely bloggers here*Thanks Knight!* and make it easier for myself. Im just gonna give each one a paragraph and call it done. Hopefully November is a better month. I only got 2 more games to beat guys, Im at 10.
BOO! Happy Halloween! I’ve got a few spooky themed game reviews I’ve recently posted at GamerDad.com! And some not so spooky ones as well. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a like or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. Read on…if you dare!
Ever get the urge to collect a single series and try to get every game in it? For sometime now I've had the urge to buy up every Madden game I can across all Platforms. Why Madden? I don't know actually. While I will occasionally play a football game and have some fun, I have little interest in them overall. I don't even like real football. For some odd reason though, I've just had an odd interest to buy them up. I have quite a collection of them so far and pretty much have just grabbed them when I saw them dirt cheap. I think the only one I've ever paid full price for was Madden 2001 (or was it 2002) on PS2. I'm not quite sure why, but at the time I had a really disposable income and no bills. Anyway, i'f I do go though with full on collection of the series I won't be paying over $10 for any of them.
I was really excited to see the first batch of original Xbox games get added to backwards compatibility on Xbox One. I quickly gathered what I had and brought them over to Mark's place, where I have my XBO. I've got Crimson Skies, Ninja Gaiden Black, Psychonauts (can't wait to finish this one), Sid Meier's Pirates and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (can't wait to finish this one too). I desperately need to get a copy of Black again. I have it for PS2 still, but I traded all my original Xbox shooters a while back. I watched Mark play some Black and it looks better than ever. Also, that it is a Criterion game gives me hope that the Burnout series (1-3) will be next.
Pikmin. Cooking Mama. Kirby the Cannibal. Gone Home with Freddie. Haunted House Tycoon. Serial Killer Simulator. Dark Bowls: Prepare to Get High Edition. Haunted Snowboard. Match 3 Massacre. Batman: Slaughter City. Children of the Corn Manager.....
So, Microsoft actually gave me a legitimately good reason to keep my Xbox One: Upscaled original Xbox games. With reasonably priced digital copies too! And here's the thing about the Xbox: It has a ton of awesome games you can't play on modern tech. So here's a list of what I want to see on it. I'm mostly basing this on games' availability on other tech, so as much as I love Jade Empire and Halo 2, there's other games I'd rather see on here.
I kind of skipped over these by accident. These are the Life Element Skylanders I own from the SuperChargers game.
Yea, this is a lot of good cosplayer photos from the Retro Con I went to last week. Thought I'd quickly share them at this link.
I finally got Onedrive to accept my screenshot/video clip shares. So here's all my Fable II stuff so far.
Let's get the self promotion uot of the way. I'ma be on the Nerds Without Pants episode coming up, and I had a blast. Great crew, great chemistry as you know, looking forward to hearing the finished product. Maybe the longest ep they've done but oh well xD.
I'm stuck on a course in Golf Story. I emailed Jesse who is close to the end of the game to see if he can help. Can I just say this though - the frisbee golf mini-game sucks ass. Even now that I'm good at it, I hate it. It blows. It sucks anus.
I started playing Bloodborne again after a very long hiatus, and the game got it's hooks into me again like the first time. I actually forgot how to access certain areas and sequences of events. I've been playing well over a week and I still have a lot of game left to finish, and then the DLC. This game is very long. It honestly feels like I never played this game before. It's so weird.
"Omg another Mario game!!! Why can't Nintendo do anything new?!"
So in my previous blog I spoke of starting the review for the Shantae however Ive been kinda bleh mental health wise so I honestly dont got nothing. I wish that wasnt the case but it is. At this rate it might not be till late Oct but maybe just maybe during tonight Ill get something down. Im trying to get myself in the writing/typing mood. Jamming to random music and have youtube on in the background. Its kinda working. Kinda. I also dont have any Idea if Ill get another game beat. Ive been devoting a huge chunk of playtime to Stardew again on the Switch. Its such a perfect fit on the Switch. I wish everything was coming to it. I just love the fact I can take things anywhere portable wise if its on it. Some games might not look the greatest in handheld mode compared to docked but I couldnt care.
I’m currently transitioning out of the psychology help and into physical help. No more anti-depressants needed, but now I’m on stuff to heal my back. I hope I can kick that too in a few weeks and get into some core strength exercises. Back issues are the absolute worst thing ever. Also, I got this new free app on my phone (also for pc) called MyFitnessPal, and it’s excellent for watching calories. You just log in your food and exercise, and it measures your calories (and other nutrients) against your goals for weight loss. I’m loving it and it’s really helping. Hopefully I can get to where I want to be within a year. It’s also kind of fun, but onto gaming.
As much as I like Nintendo, they have made quite a few mistakes as a game company. Some are big, like the Virtual Boy and using cartridges on the N64. And some are not quite so big. One of those ‘not quite so big’ mistakes I feel is how they released the NES Classic Edition last year. For those who don’t know, the NES Classic Edition was a smaller console that looked like the 8-bit NES and had 30 games on it. But Nintendo didn’t make enough and it’s very hard to find. Even I don’t have one! I know Nintendo recently said they would make more and release them next summer, but we’ll just have to see about that. So when I saw where I could order the Famicom Classic Edition online for nearly retail price, I decided to import that instead. The Famicom was the Japanese version of the NES. Their Classic Edition has most of the same games as the NES one, but with a few changes here and there. So in this blog, I’m going go over the Famicom Classic console, the games on it, and at the end I’ll share some good news related to this topic!
