National StreetPass Weekend happens on Friday 4/12 and goes through 4/16. I checked all my Nintendo Zones in the area and will go to a few of them to see what pops up in Mii Plaza on 3DS. I finished with the Bravely Second demo the other day, so I need more Miis for the Mii Plaza games. I suppose some celebrity Miis will show up. There will also be special stuff for a list of specific games that use StreetPass. Unfortuneately, I don't have Dragon Quest VII anymore to check out the neat photo feature. Check out the full list and details at the official page.
I was thinking about the consoles I collected in the 90s. There was the NES, SNES, Genesis (with 32X and CD add-ons), Playstation and N64. I had some great game experiences with all of them, but when I think about which one I enjoyed the most, it was the N64.
You know at some point I really need to get back to my usual routine of Monday/Friday entries but for now Tuesday will have to do. Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a nice and cool Tuesday morning here and the entry I should have written yesterday but I got sidetracked by a muffin. Today I will save the muffin for after I write this so that will either calm the appetite down a bit or I will rush through this blog entry and it will show, either way let's get started.
I did something stupid (what else is new?) and I now have 10 Square Enix codes for 8 games each.
So Stardew Valley was a game I had as like my 5th option because the other titles I wanted were low availability (Persona, Andromeda, Nier ... Yooka Laylee was in there too, releases tomorrow though) and that's the one that shipped today. Uuuuuggghh. Well, I guess I'll see how addictive it really is. I know people love this shit, it's just disappointing to me personally that I JUST realized I could rent Uncharted 4 and my dead last option in my Q is the one I have coming.
I played Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition today. I played the Echo Mode and then started going after achievements by starting a replay of the campaign on Normal difficulty.
I went to a Comic Con here in the outskirts of Philly today, The Greater Philadelphia Comic Con. Then Mark and I seperately played the entire campaign of Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition.
Well hello Pixlpeeps! This is a special Saturday edition of Quick Hits because the family is visiting so much of the day is spent hanging out, playing games, and enjoying the company. So because of that here we are and yes I have some things to talk about. Let's get started.
Today I finished Halo 4 and began Halo: Spartan Assault. Then I watched Mark play Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition for a bit.
Not that it is of any use until next week. It's listed as preorder on GOG and there's a 4 day countdown clock. Oh they did give me some wallpaper.
Jesus Christ 2017, calm the fuck down. It's only fucking April and you're giving us awesome game after awesome fucking game. I mean jesus. I'm going to talk about just some of the amazing games I've played this year.
I finally caved and got my free trial of GameFly games. In my queue are Mass Effect Andromeda, Yooka Laylee, and Persona 5, in that order. Both Andromeda and Persona 5 say "low availability" and Yooka Laylee releases on the 11th, so we'll see how this goes.
Picked it up on the way home from work. Couldn't really afford it but it's Persona F'in 5. This is what it looks like. May not get to it tonight but tomorrow.
I finished Halo 3 in about 5.5 hours. That's the shortest of the series yet. I was surprised by that. Seems Halo 2 is the longest so far at 8 hours.
Okay, first I would like to say I'm sorry for not giving this account any attention. Either I didn't have much that was eventful or I wasn't in much in a groove for writing blogs. I am going to try to get back to writing on Pixlbit though that might be tricky considering I now have a Minds account. If you guys have one or already follow me on Twitter then thanks and such.
First, I don't want anyone knowing how much I make, but I'm quite proud of my budget for March, which I just got done with a 50/30/20 Google Docs Worksheet. Not sure I trust Google with this information, but I am an American. I trust nefarious strangers in exchange for convenience. What are you gonna do?
Well good morning Pixlpeeps! I hope you good people had a wonderful weekend that full of games and other fun gaming related items. I didn't spend a lot of time on games this past weekend because of a little event that was on the WWE Network known as WrestleMania 33. It did have some game moments when the hosts The New Day dressed up as characters from Final Fantasy
One of the launch titles for the Nintendo Switch was 1-2-Switch. It’s a party mini-game collection showing off the capabilities of the new console. At first I wasn’t sure if I would get it, but after playing it at PAX South, I decided I would get it after all. And since I like to write about mini-game collections, here is a blog about all the ones found in 1-2-Switch.
Didn't have a lot of time today, but I managed to finish Halo 3: ODST. It took me about 6 hours over two days, the same as Halo C.E.. It was weird playing ODST this time because I knew the story well from the novel Halo: New Blood, which was about the same team leader Edward Buck and his squad Alpha-Nine. I really enjoyed Halo 3: ODST. It's like a dark film noir crime investigation. You switch control of different members of Alpha-Nine as you try and find your teammates who all crashed into the city of New Mombasa in their drop pods instead of landing on the covenant cruiser that jumped to slipspace at the last minute. New things I noticed were: molotov cocktail type grenades that set everything on fire; a flame thrower you find in one area late in the game; and lots more Huragoks (Engineers) and the explanation of how they are not an enemy to humanity. The look of those things is quite fleshy and repulsive. They seemed a little bit more elegant and techy in the novels, but in both cases they are tentacled floating brains.
