Jesus H. Christ. I've been writing for 6 days now, almost 12 hours a day and have pumped roughly 18000 words into various projects. I'm really proud of my world and characters so far, and I honestly haven't been able to keep them out of my head for the most part.
So this is the situation: I'm currently ripping my CDs to the library for the travel laptop and while this event is going on I thought it would be time to let you good people in on what I am doing, playing, watching, etc. Think of this as a combo Quick Hits and What Chris is playing. I was going to write a normal QH on Friday but I went out and well I was busy for the rest of the holiday weekend. Now I'm here, I have some time so let's catch up!
So Life is Strange: Beyond the Storm has an optional tabletop gaming session you can play. It is nerdy as hell and initially seemed out of character for Chloe, until you remember her best friend was Max.
Today I nearly finished Battlefield Bad Company, mulled about in Minecraft for a bit, tried the Screamride demo and got into Puzzle Quest. I think I want to play some RPGs next time.
I played a world in Minecraft today acting as a caveman. I used nothing but a bone to defend myself and chop for resources. It's basically as good as a wooden axe, so why make a wooden axe? Ugg, my character, doesn't know how to make an axe anyway.
I played a level in Hey! Pikmin today while waiting for a pizza. The game is beautiful. As I fly around the levels with my flying pikmin carrying me, I keep thinking of old arcade games as I send some out to kill an enemy or pick up a sparklium. I think it's the verticality of some of the levels and the way the sparklium is arranged in patterns seeming floating in air. It's like an old school arcade shooter sometimes.
I finally got screen shots and video I took on XBO to upload to OneDrive. From there I can embed them here; although, I've been having trouble with the video. I'm given a code from Onedrive that begins with the word iframe, but it doesn't show up when I use the video insert option above. I tried different settings and I get nothing. I really want to get that to work so I'll do more research to try and figure it out. It's possible there are some plugins needed that aren't supported here. I know if I try to select other than Flash I get a "plugin not supported" message. HTML5 and iframe selections give no results either. I'm stumped. Well, here are some screen shots at least. That's a great improvement.
So, this Semester, I'm taking a creative writing course at college. It's mainly as an outlet and stress relief to help me get through my other courses, but now that I've started writing I can't fucking stop, and it's great! I've got 10 pages and nearly 6000 words written in 3 days. So, I thought I'd share it with you guys.
As someone who teaches at a university with thousands of kids from Houston, I'd like to say I'll be downloading Life is Strange: Before the Storm today.
Man life does get busy sometimes! Sorry for not replying to comments from my June blog - it's been awhile since I have had time to just sit down and breathe.

I'm streaming something new today! Here's the link to my channel.
Here's a picture of the figures I own in this category.
Well good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and I am a day late but I hope this is going to be a good week for you. To my Texas peeps you folks are tough as hell! Over the weekend I decided to play my Vita after finally adding the Humble Bundle code for the four games I bought and I wanted to try the Vita games. One problem, I can't find my Vita charging cable. It is a freaking pain. You know what would have been nice? If the Vita didn't have a proprietary USB cable. Anyways my Vita will continue to sit until I stumble upon where I put that stupid cable. I did however power up my 3DS XL and I started playing
I used the amped worlds option for a seed today. It makes the worlds even more realistic. You can't just roam over mountains willy nilly. They're too high. You have to find a route up or down. They make for excellent views too. That was my solo play for only a handful of minutes while Mark did other things. We he started up a map, I quit mine and joined his. Always much more fun with others, this game is.
School has me incredibly busy and I am gearing up for another fucking wedding.
I finally found a good formula for playing Minecraft co-op. Mark has additional ideas, but for me it's perfect when we load an overworld in creative mode and make the enchantement table and a box of XP potions, then switch back to survival mode. This way you start at level 30 ready to enchant gear. Everything can be done faster, and you can get to the fun of gathering resources to make gear, build things and find The End Portal in some reasonable amount of time.
Hi, I'm Jason Ross, you might remember me from PixlBit's PB & Jason, PixlBit's Playbits, or just various articles from some time ago around the site. I'm back! But not quite in the same way. I've got myself a fancy PC built to stream just about anything! And... as it is such, so it is such, you're all invited to join me.
A couple peices of housekeeping. Firstly, it has been too long and I apologize for that. I wish I could guarantee that I will be back, but I cannot. Life keeps getting the way. So, what brings me back? Prey, and the fact taht I want to talk about it with more than just my brother.
...I don't know if it's me or the game. I mean, obviously, I have a problem finishing games. I tend to get 3/4 through and just lose steam. Lately this has been true of Andromeda and Final Fantasy XV. Well, it finally happened in Zelda. But like the other games, I'm not really tired of it, in fact, I'm excited about seeing the rest of it. I've just lost momentum, and when I do play, it's only in short bursts rather than in marathon sessions.
Only at the very end of the evening did I play the opening levels of Battlefield Bad Company 2, but I feel like I can take a long break from Minecraft now.
