I realized last night that I was actually missing Ronan to complete my Disney Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy figure collection. Then this morning, I thought of how I had played all the Disney Infinity games on my Xbox 360, and maybe I should look into what I would need to play them on Xbox One. The rest of the day became a shopping spree. The result is shown below.
Last weekend I saw a poster for Guardians of the Galaxy 2; and then I saw a trailer before seening Dr. Strange. I was so excited, I put all my Guardians of the Galaxy Disney Infinity figures on my shelf. Then I realized I was missing two of them because I gave them to my friend Mark when we played Disney Infinity 2. Of course, I couldn't resist the buy-2-get-3-free sale at Gamestop and got some others. Here's a pic:
I guess I just need a break from life right now. I forsee me being a lot more active here. I haven't gamed in a while, but I'm hoping to buy a New 3ds on Black Friday. There's a really awesome deal for the system for only $99, so I'm going to scoop that up! Also, I'm getting a laptop. Hoping to get back into the swing of gaming again. Any 3ds recommendations? How are the new Kirby and Dragon Quests?
Dear America, I just want you to know that this outcome effects more than your shitty country. Has anybody here voted for Trump? I usually don't care who people vote for, but in this particular case, if you've voted for Trump you're a fucking idiot. Right or Left, I don't care which way you lean, Trump is fucking Hitler and you're straight up braindead if he has your support.
After seeing the films Inferno and Dr. Strange this weekend, I finally got some gaming in. I played through both volumes of Atari games on the XBO, probably a hundred games, and I put in some time with XCOM 2. Details below.
It's amazing how hard it is to find a dry cleaners when you actually need one. I need to get my suit cleaned apparently I can't use my goto spot anymore and now I have to find one, and Australian Siri is no help (I should call her Cortana again). Good morning Pixlpeeps! So this morning I'm still on last week's time so instead of taking advantage of that extra hour of sleep I woke up at 4:57am instead of 5:57am. Blah! So over the weekend I mainly spent time playing on the tablets, specifically racing games. Oh the racing games where if you see someone in public playing one they are using their tablet as a steering wheel on a game that doesn't handle as well as a game using an actual steering wheel, but its neck and neck with the Wii and their Wiimote steering wheel plastic add-on. I mainly played three games and I'd like to talk about them from the worst, to the best. Let's get started!
I've had stuff to write about, Beau is just keeping me very busy. Snee asked for a new dog blog, so there will be some of that to go along with everything else.
*I typed this up yesterday but Photobucket decided to be broken all day so I couldn't upload. Anyways have an awesome weekend!
Hey guys! I will live in a few minutes! I am going to pick up Morrowind again from where I left off last night and will later be playing some multiplayer games with some friends. Be sure to check it out!
Virtual Reality is nothing new. Back in the 90’s, when 3-D graphics were getting a little more commonplace in games, we got to see its infancy in the form of special arcade games and failed consoles like the Virtual Boy. It even entered the realm of movies and TV with films like The Lawnmower Man and kids shows such as VR Troopers. Fast forward to the present, where technology has advanced exponentially, and VR has made a bit of a comeback, with games on PC and even consoles like the PlayStation. So I started thinking about games that I would like to play in VR. Here’s my list:
Bunch of pick-ups in the last few days, but first a Halloween pic of a yard full of ghouls I took while on the road at work.
Damn that was quick, so many games coming out this month. I'm really looking forward to Final Fantasy XV, it crazy to think its been ten years since the game was announced. The last two demos do kind of make me worried about the performance of the game. I'm just wondering now, if there will be any sort of boost or stability in framerate if played on the PS4 Pro. That's another thing, I'm kind of on the fence on getting the PS4 Pro. On one hand, I don't have a 4k television and one the other, the possibility that some games might run better with the extra processing power of the PS4 Pro. It would be nice to get FFXV on the PC but that seems unlikely for a while.
So in case you don't know by now, I'm Australian. Australian's don't celebrate Halloween, which is odd since we've pillaged every other holiday from you cunts except the one about pillaging ironically.
This weekend is the exciting Extra Life event! November 5th is the big game day!
Every year in October I intend to play a scary game in honor of halloween but I rarely get around to actually following through. Not so this year! Friday night I started playing Until Dawn, the PS4-exclusive interactive horror game...thingy. I'm not sure how best to describe it. It's kind of like what FMV should have become (it's not FMV, though, of course). I know! Here's a trailer:
You know what I am excited for? After I hand out the last piece of candy tonight I'm swapping out the majority of the music on my phone for the Christmas Playlist. Yeah I'm that guy. The one who wants to listen to Christmas Music in September but I try and wait until after Halloween. Sorry Thanksgiving, we're cool but there's not a lot of music about the joys of eating turkey. Good morning Pixlpeeps! As you can tell I am happy that Halloween is here because of what goes on my phone on November 1st. How are you good people? Did you enjoy any games this past weekend?
I've been making slow progress on Dragon Quest VII on 3DS during the week. I just got to Alltrades Abbey after 26 hours of gameplay. So far I haven't been mightily challenged by the game but there's been a few moments when things got tense, and I nearly lost my party. Be prepared, when doing seemingly mundane things, like searching rooms and opening chests, a rare surprise might have you fighting for your life when you least expect it.
There are a couple of reasons why I didn't write a Quick Hits blog yesterday. One of the reasons was because I was close to finishing Grand Theft Auto V that I wanted to get it out of the way. Another was I didn't want to write a QH. I had my pictures ready, and I knew what I wanted to talk about but I just didn't want to commit it to paper...err electronic paper. On this fine Saturday morning before I go and resume my CD Saturday where I visit the local mom and pop shop, and sink a couple of hours into finding what hidden gems I can find in the $1.99 section, I thought it was time to add to my blog entry with another edition of Quick Hits with Chris.
Halloween is fast approaching and Im celebrating technically with my move. Im pretty nervous, however I do feel positive about everything. Im going on a new journey!
