Mark and I finally got to play some co-op in this game today using the Power Discs. We played through the rest of the tower defense style levels in the Assault on Asgard disc, and got through about half of the action rpg levels in Escape from the Kyln. We both tried to use the "event" power discs that give you an extra special attack, but the game doesn't let you use them in these story levels, just the survival mode that's on both discs. That's ok though because the survival mode is pretty cool on both discs. You play a large number of increasingly more difficult levels for each. We got to about wave 17 on the Assault on Asgard survival mode, and tomorrow, we'll tackle the 50 wave Escape from the Kyln survival mode. That one will likely take several hours to beat.
Okay, so I completely took apart my PS3 and dusted the hell out of it and cleaned and cleared every little corner. To recap, my PS3 starting shutting itself off for no reason. The only thing I could think of was I had just done a firmware update, but until then, I've never had an issue with this. Usually, with my own PC, if it shuts down frequently, it's usually caused by excess heat, poor ventilation, or dusty fans. So I took apart the whole PS3, piece by piece and cleaned it all up. I've been leaving it on for long perionds of time, and it seems to have done it, for now anyway. 
I couldn't resist, and bought the HD version of Code Veronica X from the RE 20th anniversary sales on PSN this week. It looks great. Much better than I remember, and it is still one of the hardest games in the series. God forbid I get an extra healing item, or lack of bullet sponge swamp thingie monsters. Which reminds me. The revelations game had lame bullet sponge enemies which totally ruined that game for me. In Code Veronica X, there are moments where these super enemies just appear and the tension just elevates through the roof. I've actually died alot during these enemy jump scares because I had no idea 'that was about to happen'. I can see also how the game started diverging from the series and becoming far more actiony like the later games 4, 5 & 6. Interesting.
Anyway, this whole thing started because I wanted to do a playthrough of Final Fantasy games, and my PS3 would die while playing FF 8. Without a PS3, it would be hard to do a series play through, without emulating, but I hate messing with emulators on PC.
Yes folks I went out this morning and picked it up. I came home and my son saw it in the game room and said to me "I see you picked up Twilight Princess. My wife who was sitting there doing the crossword puzzle chimed in with "Toilet Princess, wtf's a Toilet Princess?"
Going off stuff I've read about it, the HD version of Twilight Princess is having some issues. Firstly while it was stated as being capped at 30FPS to 'remain true to the original', some people have seen that the game actually runs worse than the original at certain points. This laziness is getting really depressing.
I think we can all agree Last Ninja won BaD this year with his mario spin-offs IN ADDITION to his normal retro blogs. Damn. That's dedication. I sort of remember Last Ninja winning last year too, and Casey winning the year before that. I can't remember shit!
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a nice Friday morning here in sunny and warm Southern California and I am hoping to get this typed up quick so I can head out and do my morning walk, watch the random duck neighbors quack as they walk around, and then stop at the local Target afterward to pick up a CD. So how are you good people? Anyone going through BaD withdrawal? I’ve been checking out the blogs I have missed, and I kind of miss digging through my minifigure bins figuring out what the theme should be but other than that I am ready to get back to the regular Monday Friday schedule.
This year with the release of Star Wars Battlefront it is all to apparent that games THIS year are having troubles.
Hello there, sweeties. My name is Merrydith and I am fairly new to gaming. I mainly got into it because my grandson was into it and he promised he would watch matlock with me if i played the splashtunes with him. Well, I'm a convert now, and I play games every day! I play the marios, I play the elder scrolls which lets me walk which I haven't been able to do ever since my polio got worse. I blame my husband for that of course. Even in death he causes me pain.
So, I am at the crossroads where you chose who to fight for. I bought Conquest so that was an easy choice. All this happens in chapter 6, I have to fight my birth family now and no matter how I plan out my attacks and retreats for health, I always lose. I've tried pairing up and all that so maybe somebody can give me a pointer or two, thanks.
I found some used Disney Infinity Power Discs today at one of my retro stores. I bought the ones that give your characters abilities (they have the star at the bottom). There are also customization ones and toy ones. I like the abilites best. They are circular discs and go under your figure on the portal. Then I picked up 5 figures on the still running Gamestop sale: four Skylanders and a Baymax figure for my friend Mark. Here's the picture and further descriptions below:
There has been a bit of a good selection at Goodwill today but I got these two:
Look at that, I am so bad at BaD that I even dragged it into March. Shame on me.
Today I found all the power discs I needed for achievements in Disney Infinity 2.0 in two 2-packs at GameStop and BestBuy. They are unique among the power discs because they have new levels on them.
