Actually half of these reviews are of toys, not video games. But this is the slow time for game releases, so that’s why. Anyway, here is a recent batch of reviews I’ve written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or like or two. I’d really appreciate it.
Well Happy Thursday to all of you hope at least some of yall remember who i am its been about a year since i was on here, i have had alot happen i got divorced a year ago and lost my youngest Brother from a heart attack and now i have settled down with a new woman in my life and now im trying to get back into my favorite hobbies which is gaming and History, most of yall who remember me knows im a strategy slash Strategy Role playing gamer my favorite Genere and alot if you remeber how many ps3 and 360 games i had, i lost all my systems and games in the divorce but im on Steam and do have the classic ps2 with very hard to find games but im starting my collection back up and glad to see you all so until my next blog hace a awesome day.
Got it new too. I notice that amiibo symbol on the top of the box there. Too bad I have the old 3DS and can't take advantage of that. I'd upgrade if it were possible for me, but it's not. I still want that new Pikmin amiibo anyway just for display purposes. The Gamestop I went too wouldn't let me have it because they said they were holding it for someone. Bah! Another reason I dislike going there anymore. Allways unfriendly, always wasting my time. I'm glad I'm not renewing my membership after this. I'm seriously considering going online for all my purchases, retro or new.
I got myself overwhelmed with game choices again, and so I’ve got a new plan to get things under control.
In an attempt to get my postings back on track it is Monday and I am here typing away while eating breakfast and watching Dream Cruises on AWE. The episode that I have on is about a cruise ship that is smaller than the typical ships because it also sails, so they can either travel with nature with a good old fashion diesel engine. Kind of interesting and it roams around part of the Caribbean. Anyways you're not here for that, you're here for whatever random games I decided to play this week.
If you don't see one just send a request to Athantos and I'll add you.
July was a super slow month, not even warranting my usual recap breakdowns! For the first time in a several years, I did not finish any games over the course of the month 
I was busy! I also did not buy any games (that will certainly be changing in August), so I'd have almost nothing to recap if not for PS+. Even with that I only got four of the six games. Darkstalkers: Resurrection (PS3) is the most interesting of the bunch to me. There was also the Tell Tale Game of Thrones (PS4) game as well as a couple I'd never heard of, Element4l (Vita) and Don't Die, Mr. Robot! (PS4/Vita).
First thing I did today was try and get OneDrive to connect files from my PC and phone to my XBO. I could only do it from the PC side. The XBO app only let me see the account linked to my XBO, not my PC account. I searched and searched for documentation on this XBO app but found nothing even on Microsoft’s own web sites. It was really frustrating.
There's a PSN sale going on... well it seems like there always is these days almost. Anyway, I bought Shiness for $17, and I also bought Mother Russia Bleeds that I've had on my steam wishlist for about a year. I always wanted to play this brawler with my brother when he visits for xmas, and now I have it on console. Great!
Well hello Friday, and hello Pixlpeeps! I am ready for the weekend but first I want to add my ramblings to the world wide web, throw in some pictures, and maybe read your blogs today. Things are a bit slow around here and I may be partly to blame because I haven't been sticking with my usual Monday-Friday posts. New Month means I get my behind back on track and get this going. So with that let's get started with Quick Hits.
A hippopotamus-like animal!

My wife told me to pick one up for our anniversary and my friend at EB is putting one aside for tomorrow. Not sure whether to get Zelda or something else.
I started typing about my adventures in NOLA (first time going for me) in celebration of our friend Shawna's birthday, but realized it would be better with pictures/video, and I'm not in the mood to get it all off my phone right now. Since we weren't allowed to take pictures in there anyway, I'll just mention a metal bar called The Dungeon was one of my favorite places. Mainly because I liked the music and it was a quiet enough place to sit on Bourbon Street at 3 a.m.
How's it going? I've been playing Zelda. Sometimes I'm in shock about this open world, and the things you find in it. I'm not powerful enough to face big bosses yet, so I've just been exploring the world and climbing these towers kind of Ass Creed style to open up maps of the areas. It's a lot of fun.
So here we are, Thursday and I thought it wouldn't be right for me to write up all my randomness in a Quick Hits blog tomorrow without at least making an attempt to review what I played (kinda played/simmed/etc) the past couple of weeks. So because of all this, here we are and let's look back what I played. Sound fun?
It’s that time of year again. All the summer movies are out, and there are usually a few that interest me. So here’s a list of the movies I’ve seen this summer, as well as the ones I wanted to see, but didn’t for whatever reason. Oh and there might be some slight spoilers here and there, so you’ve been warned.
I remember when EO was first announced. I was super excited because to me it seemed like a new little interesting title to bring to the 3DS. Upon finishing it I have found that it definitly has its own little charm and while it can be beat quite quickly it might just be the "short" RPG all of us who play 80 to 100 hour long games need. It only took 23 Hrs to clear the main game, this of course doesnt include having the Oasis completely leveled nor having all possible characters living there. I had around 30+ at the last story part and was still able to take on the final boss okay. I would say that fully completeing the game would probably take 30-40 Hrs.
Last blog was a bit of a downer. Sorry to throw all that shit on you after a long absense. This blog will hopefully be better.
Okay, so to start off with the memoir business. I have a list of subjects but I haven't started on an artucal piece. To make it sure I couldn't get into the mind set to write on them. The only writing I did were the articles I wrote for The Gaming Ground. And yet I'm writing a blog here (D'OH!). But in any circumstance... yeah...
I’m seriously considering switching to playing only small indie games. Full game experiences are so involved. Whole weekends disappear. I don’t know if I like that right now. But I’m going to finish what I started, and that is Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.
Why is it that time flies so fast when you’re gaming? I get so annoyed by it. I start a game, and by the time I look at the clock, the day is almost done. It’s crazy. I just kind of wish games were a little more compact and focused without so much content. Some of the indie games I’ve played have been really satisfying completing them to 100% in under 20 hours. But I can’t resist the call. And when a game calls me, I have to listen. Today it was all about Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.
