I was recently transported to the year 1976. First, I told my 9-year-old self to get with it. Then I looked at what video games I could play. I’m shallow. Deal with it.

Hey it's me again! So after I bought my NES Classic I was interested in more. That's when I saw it on Ebay. A modded original Xbox with emulators and Coinops 8. I wasn't sure what Coinops 8 was, but everything else intrigued me. NES, SNES, MSX, Genesis, TurboGrafx, Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, Jaguar, Neo Geo, GBA, N64, Playstation, etc. The description... Overall 11,000 games and to make it even better there are Xbox games saved on the hard drive. And they aren't terrible games either. Theres Beyond Good & Evil ,Doom 3, Fable, Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, Fatal Frame, and more! I got this all for only 125 dollars. Needless to say it's crazy. And even crazier is playing them on an Xbox! I need some sort of counseling! Suffice it to say I'll be quite busy. But seriously... Super Mario Odyssey is coming in just a couple weeks! How am I going to beat all these games!? What should I even play first!? Who has that kind of time!? I've got no vacation days left! Why am I such a crazed madman!? Why am I such a nerd!? WHY!!!!!!!!???

I accidentally deleted all of my messages from everyone. I had two pages, and figure the big red X would only get rid of page two. I was wrong. 

Played a bit more Golf Story yesterday. Cute game. Pretty funny too. And fun. I'm learning more about the golf in it, it's quite complex even if it's a bit cartoony. Anyway, it's relaxing to go and sit on the big chair and play. 

Goodmorning Pixlbit just thought i would get on here and tell about some games i have been playing on Steam first one up is Ultimate General Civil War and this is defintly one i recommend its a RTS strategy game with a dynamic Campaign where you can play as the Union north or confederates South its $29.99 on steam and worth every penny been playing alot of this and im more into ww2 strategy games but i have as late taken an interest in the Civil War, this game has 60 plus scenarios which make up the campaign and is different for the union or confederates, you have core units you can experience up and take with you through the game and you get new guns etc  to equip them with tons of historic generals and really just a awesome all around game.

I had two days of hell with a back strain. Couldn't work, couldn't do mostly anything. Finally I got the right medication for it and I should be fine in a week or two. I did game today as planned before the Eagles game at 8:30. It was Fable II Pub Games and Fable II. 

You might think SuperChargers refers to that old Hot Wheels toy building that had rollers inside to propel the vehicles faster along that orange track. Or maybe you thought of Matchbox's super charger monster trucks series. Well this is Skylanders SuperChargers and they're all about the vehicles. I wonder that no one got sued over the name, now I think of it. 

So I posted this in a reply on facebook in a discussion about how Super Metroid may be the most important game of its time.

Firstly, rapping has been insane. I made a rap/death/doom metal album, made a 38 track greatest hits.

Today I managed to avoid Forza Horizon 2 and dig into my list of freebees and back compat games. First up was the Fable II Pub Games (the whole Fable series just became availble of XBO) that I already owned. Then I played the whole of Gone Home (a games with gold freebee). Then I played a little bit of Halo: CE Anniversay (made back compat a week ago). Finally I saw the new Star Wars trailer during half time of the Monday Night Football game. 

As already discussed in my last blog, I'll be playing EarthBound and attempting to spearhead a community playthrough of the game. Judging from response, it looks like a few people are on-board here, and I think I can pick up a decent amount from NWR.

I played a little more Golf Story, but mostly on Saturday I was obsessed with Axiom Verge, getting up to and beating the second boss. I really haven't played a game like this in ages, where it requires hand eye coordination and quick reflexes, and I'm really enjoying it. Takes me back to my illustrious youth... sigh.  But seriously, I'm impressed. The sound and music is great, the mechanics are interesting, and the control is really polished and tight. 

Happy Columbus Day Pixlpeeps! It is a breezy morning here in Southern California and I am ready to do some sharing on what I have played this past week. To be honest I haven't played a lot because I've been busy and when I did have a spare minute or two I went with casual games because its easy to bring up on a phone/tablet, get your fix and then go on about your business.

I'm feeling a retro game playthrough. I would like to start off with the best of the best, or at least what are everyones favorite SNES games? Off the top of my head

I've played quite a few forgettable games recently. They are the kind of thing I play and feel not only that I'll forget about in a few months, but almost instantly after I finish playing them. Or at least I feel that I don't remember much in comparison to some great games that I have played recently. Here are some of the forgettable games I played:

I had to wait for a massive update on my PS4 that I haven't booted up in months, so I went back to Forza Horizon 2. Then, after I finally pulled myself away from it, I started Dragon Quest Heroes II and played it for several hours. 

The gaming community has frequently rallied around group plays of EarthBound, starting with Starmen.net, which grew into Fangamer. I've seen it done elsewhere. Would PixlBit be up to it? I'd be happy to host a live stream of it all on youtube now that I've got streaming all set up. I'd probably get NintendoWorldReport to join in as well, since I'm in that community here and there as well. Who'd be at least somewhat interested?

I've played through two of the golf course levels in Golf Story now, and I really like the game. It's nice and chill and relaxing, and golfing isn't easy. But it's also a cute story and a neat little world, kind of like a Golf JRPG. Very interesting concept, and I enjoy it. 

In my never ending quest to get back to a normal posting schedule here I missed Monday but surprise I'm here for Friday. Yes Friday is Quick Hits day where I recap whatever is on my mind usually non gaming stuff and post pictures of whatever cool pickups I have. Sorry for the little refresher but I figured the past couple of weeks have been crazy. Anyways let's get started.

Played a lot of Forza Horizon 2 today. I drove every road, found every barn, nearly completed the story of the game (I need 2 more championships), took pictures of 100 different cars, and switched from retro muscle cars to cult classics because I'd won all the retro muscle car races. There's still plenty left to do. Except for the final championships I need to win, I'm starting to look at the achievement list and work from that. 

Hello, everyone!

So for my birthday month it was actually quite shit. I had a client I had taken care of for several years pass away and my job kind of tanked. I maybe worked 6 days total that month. It was not the greatest time but I did Level Up to 28. It just really hit me that she was gone a few days after she passed. While that was going on my job tanked which made things worse. I had no work and where I work they dont offer PTO or anything like that. So either you work and make money or get nothing at all. My job as since improved but It will be a few weeks before Im fully on my feet. That being it doesnt tank again.

I only have one figure/vehicle for this element, Smash Hit and his vehicle Thump Truck. They're great though - some of my favorites. 

Made two albums, have some tracks: 

Hey folks, sorry that it’s been around two and a half weeks since I posted a blog, but I’m even more sorry that I’ve done two game review list blogs right in a row.  I know that these kinds of blogs can be seen as shameless plugs and that might annoy some of you.  But I really only do these kinds of blogs to share with you what games I’ve been reviewing lately, and post thoughts and background that you might not find in the actual review.  But I also kind of like to alternate so I don’t have too many of these blogs right in a row.  I do have a few blogs like this planned, like a review of the Famicom Classic Edition, characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite (just got that game today), and more.  But the past two weeks I was just too busy to work on them.  I wasn’t really OVERWHELMINGLY busy or anything, but just busy enough that working on those blogs would’ve been more stressful than fun.  And since I don’t get paid to do these blogs, I only do them if they’re fun.  So hopefully I’ll have some more different stuff up soon.  Anyway, here’s another list of games I’ve been reviewing lately at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a like or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it!  Thanks!
