It was a snow day here in the Philadelphia area, so I played all the side missions for the Borderlands 2 DLC, or at least attempted them. Some I had trouble with, but I experienced them, and that's what matters.
Pi Day! Boston Market has a pretty good deal. So do pizza places. Actual dessert pies I'm sure do as well.
I have never been interested in playing Nier, no matter how much Angelo gushes about it on Nerds Without Pants (sorry, Angelo). So I didn't particularly care when they announced a sequel except why? and Platinum Games? And since then Platinum has put out some contract work that was pretty subpar (e.g., Kora and TMNT), so how would they fare when working outside of their strictly action wheelhouse? Whatever. I have lots of other games to play.
I got my rental this weekend, The Dwarves, and played it on XBO. This is an interesting game but the battle system annoyed me after a while. Then I played Borderlands 2 where heard a Shakespeare soliloquy and shot fire balls that would've made old Ironsides turn and run.
I said I'd talk about movies, and well here I am. To talk about movies. I have two this week, both are foreign, both are bloody, so if that's not your thing, sorry but you're a boring cunt. On with the movies!
I don't think my body cares about the fall backwards, spring forwards time change anymore. I woke up at the same time I normally do: 30 minutes before my alarm. During this time I question why I wake up that early, read Twitter while listening to the local news, and maybe a quick scan through Reddit. That is how I welcomed in spring forward. Good morning Pixlpeeps! Since I got that out of the way, how are you good people? I got some gaming in this past weekend while debating on playing something new on the iPhone/iPad. Let's check out what I played this past week
So I'm working on a review of the movie Martyrs, that is, right after I recover from having watched the movie Martyrs. After watching such a hellish film, I needed to recover and have some joy in my life, so I thought I'd make a blog about my cat.
Don't know about the quality but I know there are some of you who might be interested,
I checked out Remote Play for PS3 and PS4 on my Vita for the first time the other day and yesterday I tried remote play from PS4 to my laptops.
Every so often, I get autobiographical and want to review my history with video games. This blog on Pong is the first in a long series I'm planning.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is the rare Saturday Quick Hits but yesterday I was caught up in things like trying to not eat meat (the one legit Catholic thing I do a year), breaking in some shoes, and not being in the mood to write something for the normal Quick Hits time. This morning however I felt that I should write something and I have a couple of things I'd like to write about.
As you are probably aware PS4 update 4.50 came out this week and with it the ability to plug in an external USB 3.0 drive (up to 8 TB) and store game downloads on it.
I think I'm going to avoid going after achievements anymore. It's making me into a bit of a jerk especially when it comes to co-op play. I'm forgetting what it's all about, and that's having fun. It's going to be an effort for me to not think about them or steer my playing in that direction, but I think it's necessary if I want to have friends to play with. The Borderlands series especially brings this to the fore, because I get really frustrated going for achievements in this game. It's just not a healthy way to play. It's sort of obsessive. It's like I'm becoming one of the characters in the game - one who has a wildly out of control neurosis.
I enjoyed the game enough for 91% completion at story's end , but I thought everything would be marked on the map now? It is not ... Typing on PS4 sucks.
It’s been a pretty crazy week. To think I plopped $360 for a Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is quite interesting. In a way, it reminds me of when I stood in line for the Nintendo Wii. I bought it strictly to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Yes, sure it was also for the Gamecube and Breath of the Wild is also on Wii U, but I was going to plop money on the Switch regardless. It was bound to happen. I’m a Nintendo fan. I’ve been a fan since I was 7 years old playing The Nes and SNES respectively. After spending a week in the Wild I figured I would offer up a little review or synopsis of my experience with the latest Zelda.
Would you guys read blogs about movies? I'm a bit over writing about games for a bit and want to try something else until I get my passion back. I was mostly thinking of covering some for obscure/foreign horror/action films like Martyrs, I Saw the Devil, Train to Busan etc.
This is the standard ending when you run out of ideas. I have a few new ideas brewing and I am sure there will be one or two or even more alternate endings. So forgive the anti-clmatic ending. A new ending will post soon.
The group sits down around a camp fire and talks over things. They realize they have overcome many different challenges. The death they have seen, the destruction of the human race, and so many areas destroyed. But as our heros all join hands and start to pray (to whom at this point is anyones guess), they don't see the micro flash of light as their compound is destroyed by a nuclelar warhead. Our story ends here as our heros have been defeated, not by the dead but by an unknown source.
Hey folks, I’ve got another batch of game reviews over at GamerDad.com that I’ve recently written. Please click on the links here and read as many as you can and maybe post a comment or two. I’d appreciate it, thanks!
I got a text from my old manager yesterday that said, "check out Exton Square Mall Round 1". I thought it might be some horrible news of a fight or other disaster. Instead it was a new entertainment center called Round 1. They have locations on both coasts. Today, I went there to check it out.
I finished the Tiny Tina DLC today, the last major piece of DLC, playing co-op with Mark and started chasing achievements.
