Mark and I started a co-op Minecraft session just to chill out. We both dug mines in separate nearby mountains and did our own things. He likes to clear out large areas down at bedrock and collect as much diamond as possible. I like to get just what I need to advance to The Nether and then The End to fight the Enderdragon. Today I wasn’t pushing it but I ended up making the best progress ever towards getting The End. . . Again. . . achievement.
So I think the novelty of sorting/organizing my digital crap has worn off. For the past couple of days I took a break from organizing the Photo Drive, and I jumped on the Media Drive to do the same. Like I said in Monday's (or was it Tuesday) blog, I found more pictures so I threw those into a folder named Sort Photos and then I was off to clean up the Media Drive. The Media Drive was a lot easier because most things I could just toss, like I had copies of my micro SD Cards from my first Smart Phones. Yeah I don't know why I kept them, especially after I made the jump to iPhone, but I kept them, along with a ton of random documents, and other interesting yet unneeded items.
I tried really hard at the Map Room achievement in Minecraft and came up empty but I learned a few things. Then I played a little bit more of Prey.
Here are all the Life figures from Skylanders Giants as shown on the poster which came with the game.
Recently I reviewed The Disney Afternoon Collection. It’s a compilation of Capcom’s NES titles that were based on shows on The Disney Afternoon, a block of Disney cartoons that aired back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. I really loved watching The Disney Afternoon as a kid, and I also enjoyed the NES games a lot, too. In fact, many of the games on this collection are more memorable to me than titles like Mario! They could’ve called this the Cary’s Childhood Collection! So I thought I’d go into more detail and share my memories of each of the NES games on this collection, and the cartoons they’re based on.
These are the undead figures from Skylanders Giants.
Today I would like to talk about stupid names, annoyances, and overused words in Gamertags/Netword IDs. If you play on anything like Steam, XBox Live, or PSN I'm sure you've come across some of these. I also wanted to touch on some annoyances in general. Now lets begin.
So I am at the point in Lego City Undercover where I'm debating on whether I should just go ahead and finish the game to 100% or move on to something else. See I am cleaning up little things in the game, collecting random items in story mode, and looking for the remaining five or six minifigures in the city. I could finish this if I want to put in the extra couple of hours but is it worth it? On one hand yeah because I like finishing the Lego games, but on the other side I am kind of over playing Lego City Undercover. I don't know which path I will take so we shall see next week.
I couldn't even think of playing more Prey today. Too stressed to take on a single player experience, so Mark and I operated like Lewis and Clark in the attempt to get the Map Room achievement in Minecraft on XBO.
I have a code for Alan Wake on the 360 and it expires after today and I already have the game. So does anyone want to trade a points card for it? Like a 10 dollar amazon card? I can go less as much as 5 bucks. You don't have to give me the code now, but I do want to give out the code for the game cause it's being removed. Let me know if you wanna trade for it as soon as possible as I'm willing to wait for about an hour.
So I saw some videos about this game and thought Id share. Its an open world exploration game. It really reminds me in a few ways of Story of Seasons/Stardew Valley with the farming, fishing, and crafting. It has no combat to which I think is nice. We dont have to fight everything in every game made.
So Bilby and I recently moved back to Armidale and got our own place! Well, our own place with two roommates, but hey, babysteps. It ends up costing us $120 a week in rent which is pretty awesome, since it's pretty close to town. The only thing is we live on a fucking steep hill that is murdering me on my daily walk. But hey, I should hopefully get in shape a lot quicker this way.
So I bought Ocarina of Time for the 3DS to fill my Zelda itch. I didnt like BOTW so Im left with a itch like a damn rash to play a Zelda game. I have a friend who is trying real hard to convince me to give BOTW another try at some point and I might. I Might. Till then Im gonna work on finishing OOT again.
Mark and I, in an epic show of endurance, finally made it to The End and defeated the Enderdragon. Then I played the first half hour of Prey.
I got the achievement for teleporting 100 meters with the Ender Pearl. I just got up on a bigger mountain and then made a pilar of blocks to raise me even higher. Mark got it too just after me.
So what's your favourite? If you're having trouble, allow me to give some examples:
Did anyone else get the Windows 10 Creators Update? The one that took forever and had two separate installs? I currently have it running and well so far it has my laptop feeling a bit sluggish especially with Chrome and Steam. It takes a second for things to get back up to speed. Its a minor annoyance, and something that will iron itself out, but I was just wondering if anyone else ran into some troubles.
I tried posting the images here, but its awkward to say the least. When I tried to submit the pics filled the screen and then some. Anyway if anyone is interested, here's a link..... https://phantasystar.imgbb.com/
These are the five fire element Skylanders from Skylanders: Giants that are on the poster. Two are new to the series (Hot Head and Hot Dog) and the rest return from Spyro's Adventure in new poses.
Its no secret that I'm a huge Skylanders fan. I may be nearly 41, yet this series quickly became one of my favorite series in gaming. Sure its a money pit, and sure it was originally intended for kids, but these game are just so darn good. Anyway, since I began collecting a few years back I've acquired a fairly big collection. Its not nearly as good as some of the other collectors I've seen and I'm still missing a lot, however its always a work in progress and I'm very happy with it. So then, any fellow fans here that care about seeing any pics? I was about to take some today for a Facebook group I'm a part of, but wasn't sure if anyone here was interested? If so then new blog incoming with the pics :)
This here be the Earth element figures from Skylanders: Giants, the second game in the series, yar.
Any other Killer Instinct fans here? Microsoft has done an amazing job with the series and has pretty much turned it into one of the greatest fighting games ever. If you are a fan, what will you be looking forward to in a season 4 if its eventually announced? Any characters that come to mind that you would like to see? Personally I think they did an amazing job with the original characters they added to the original cast. I also love the guest characters like Rash, and General Raam. I'd love to see more guest characters like this. A spartan from Halo maybe? Cole Train from Gears of War? I'd love to see Joule from ReCore expanded on as well and think she could be worked in. They also need to add a lot more backgrounds. They started out with every character having their own, then they got kind of lazy and stopped making them. Anyway, I'm hoping E3 has some great surprises for this amazing series.
