I put all my physical Metal Gear games and strategy guides on my bed(because, that's what I do) and took some photos.
Mark and I started by mopping up all the side quests in the Claptrap's Robot Revolution DLC. I got the 3D glasses collectible achievement and found the six claptrap statues for another one. Then we took a tour of all the levels, beating up on claptraps to see what else dropped. There are three more collectible achievements connected to random stuff they drop. I got a few of the items like pizza slices, oil cans and fish in a bag, but I'll need more for the achievements.
I'm now 32 years old. Holy crap. So it's been a peaceful birthday; went to Rio Grande for lunch, had a pizza for dinner with cake as a dessert, and just played some games (mostly Pokemon but I'll get into that later). I got my birthday present a few days before: a Logitech Wireless Headset H600. No wires to ruin and best of all, when on my dad's PC, there's no pitch feedback in the backgound. And even though I didn't buy anything on Steam I did thin my wish list out. I narrowed it down from 400+ games to ten.
I've crossed out the games I put in my cart, but decided against. I wanted to cap things as close to $20 as possible (wound up with 5 games for about $22)
Good morning Pixlpeeps from a very wet Southern California. The past three days have been nothing but rain, and it is much needed rain. The backyard is flooded, I know where all the flashlights are in the house, and apparently nobody sells boxes of matches. I kept getting the “would you like these BiC lighters?” (the ones with the long head so you can light fireplaces and candles) When not dealing with this I may have played some games during the weekend as well as some random instances that make you say what the hell. Anyways let's get started!
Gamer's guilt got thrown to the skags as I knocked off another full day of Borderlands this Sunday. Details to follow.
A new year brings promise of new video games, so I thought I’d write about which ones I’m looking forward to this year. Of course there will probably be some announcements of new games throughout the year (like at E3), as it’s a bit early. And of course some things may be delayed, too. But anyway, let’s take a look at what I’m looking forward to playing and reviewing this year.
I am continuing my run of the Metal Gear games. I am now playing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a gloomy Southern California day because we are waiting for the second rain storm. We are supposedly going to have at least three days of rain which we don't usually get but we are in a drought so the rain is appreciated. Later on today President Obama and family will be visiting and if it wasn't so gloomy I would make the trip out to the local airport to see their motorcade and of course Air Force One, which will be called I believe SAM 28000 (tail number) because the Air Force One designation is for the sitting president. Like all previous presidents, the things I hope for: Don't f**k up, and leave the place better than you found it. Once again I don't care about who you voted for, we now have a new President.
Look at that title. I know what you're thinking. What a vague title. Switch to what? Why it's simple. Switching to the Nintendo Switch of Course! I did my best to remain purely impartial. So I gathered a list of pros and cons or as my pun filled title suggests joy cons (rimshot*) Anyways, bad jokes aside I figure it would be best for me to offer my opinion. Because even though I am a fan. I am privy to Nintendo's manipulative ways. So without further ado...here's the list!
As per my previous blog, I got both a New 3DS and a laptop!! Woo we're back and fully gaming, baby!
Im back once again after a long break. I've been meaning to post here a lot more, but im lazy. Apologies if I haven't responded to anyones comments on earlier blogs, but it seems a bit late now. I do read them though.
Well I watched it and it was a tad disappointing. Dont get me wrong, they announced quite a bit. However i figured the reason they didnt show a lot for Fire Emblem Warriors*yall know how I feel about my Warriors series* at the switch presentation because they were gonna show quite a bit in the direct. However all they did was give a Fall 2017 release window, its releasing both on Switch and N3DS, and an extended look at the trailer. I was really hoping for a bit more than that.
Today, a lot of the first Borderlands. I thought Mark and I might finish all the DLC and start Borderlands 2; but no. there's a lot of content in those DLC missions. Also, I'm thinking I might start cutting back on my gaming time on weekends. Further info below.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! Yep today is a holiday and once again folks are posting anything and everything MLK on my social media. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon. Where's this love in the middle of June? Anyways so last week I earned my first Platinum of 2017, and played a couple of other games including a new one I found last night. Sounds like fun? Let's get started.
I finally stopped playing Diablo III and got totally committed to my run of the complete Borderlands series. Mark and I are about 18 hours into Borderlands 1 and getting near the last few missions. It's been so absorbing and fun with only a few of the usual frustrations and disfunctions. Here's the breakdown.
Operation Intrude N313 and the destruction of the ultimate weapon, Metal Gear, has been accomplished!
Well good morning Pixlpeeps! As I type this what is normally sunny Southern California is gray, gloomy, and wet because we are having another storm roll through. Yesterday it was just gray and gloomy with sprinkles here and there, but now the water hitting everything is a symphony of different sounds and it is a perfect time to have some soup and maybe catch up on some reading...OR I can write about my experiences with you good people. Yeah I'll be back in a couple of hours.
Man, it's been a while since I've done a proper update blog. It's been even longer since I've written anything even approaching article quality. The last thing was maybe my Plus10damage Bloodborne review... at the beginning of 2015. Christ. Well, one of my new years resolution is to actually publish an article to the front page rather than finishing a first draft and then shelving them for no apparent reason.
I think Witcher 3 just spoiled me with what 3D open worlds can offer. Mainly, it did side-quests extremely well, on the level of main quests that would draw me into narratives for hours, like a visitor in Westworld. I left off with about 30 hours of gameplay, and now have 60. Im making progress in scouting maps and sidequests, but I think the stronger combat abilities late game just make the gameplay more fun. I'm playing as a Rogue Archer, mainly Archer with a lot of poison abilities. I can add poison to my arrows for a short while and then use a hard long shot that causes the arrow to explode and cover all the enemies in range with poison. Its quite effective, and I rarely need to get close and get my hands dirty, but it's honestly more fun exploring combat combinations this time around. I've also unlocked a new forest area, as well as a frozen area, and gosh is this game just pretty. I've been playing music off of spotify while I play, or listening to podcasts while I grind. I also have a horrible cold and fever this week so just chilling grinding mobs is relaxing while medicating. I also like sight seeing in beautiful games. And DAI is a beautiful game!!!
