Hello and Happy Tuesday Pixlpeeps! Yesterday I was enjoying the day updating the phone’s playlist and moving unheard music. I found some good stuff, some forgotten favorites, and some songs I’d like to forget. They were all moved to their respective playlists. Anyways this past weekend and yesterday I managed to knock out one game and its three available add-on content (the fourth one is going to be delivered to my door later on today. Thanks Amazon pre-order!) I knocked this game off of Mount Backlog because I thought Lego Marvel 2 was being released today because I got the weeks mixed up. Anyways because of this push to finish my current game I’m back in the Lego mood
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is a Wii U game that came out late last year. It’s a video board game featuring Animal Crossing characters, and you use Animal Crossing Amiibo figures to play it. You must scan them on the Wii U gamepad to roll dice, save your individual progress, heck; you can’t even start the game without first scanning an Amiibo. But there is a little more to it than that. Along with the board game, there is a selection of eight mini-games you can unlock that use the Animal Crossing Amiibo cards that are primarily used in Happy Home Designer. I haven’t read too many reviews online that go over these games in detail, so I’ll do that now since I like covering mini-games.
I bought Destiny for Xbox 360 today. My friend Mark got it and played it last week. He was really uninterested in it until a friend of his got it for him and he tried it. Now he's super enthusiastic, and, well, that means I'm going to get into it too. But not today. Today was all Minecraft on Xbox 360 and my trials with my Star Wars Edition 360. More below.
So last week I started The Banner Saga. I got several hours into it. I love the Disney annimation art style. I kept thinking of animated Lord of the Rings though, both Rankin/Bass and Bakshi versions. I like the tactics combat. It's simpler than something like Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's still really fun. The story is neat too, all about politics with these Viking-like peoples, and characters can die if they get knocked out too often, but there's no going back. You can't undo anything with a previous save file and I like that. It'll make replaying it a lot of fun. All that being said, you'll see ahead how I got side-tracked by other things this week.
I'm Athantos. I might even Mario Kart at some point you never know. Probably going to Xenoblade with Larry once I stop screwing up in battle and pressing cancel.
My new job gave me a $1000 signing bonus which after the Canadian government got hold of it became $561 but it allowed me to pick up a Nexus 6P phone and a Wii U. I got Mario Kart 8 with it and of course I had to get Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great week so far. In recent news, I got laid off from my job. I was a seasonal but was hoping to stay. But I was actually glad I didn't because the management there were just complete AHoles. Telling you one thing to do, but then asking you later to do another thing, and then getting mad at you for not doing the first task and other crap like that. Anyways, even though I liked working there at times it was a good feeling to leave. Just sucked because I wasn't going to get money anymore. So hopefully I can find a new job where I feel like I will enjoy it more.
Everything Old Is New Again?
I started the year playing a number of older games, and with the release of RE0 soon and all the other remakes this year, it seems like the remake trend is becoming more normalized? I don’t have that much of an issue with this, because older games look terrible blown out on my HD TV, and so any little help to clean up good old games is appreciated.
Pixlpeeps how’s it going? I hope the week has treated you well, and it is time to sit back and enjoy the weekend! Any fun plans? I’m thinking about maybe sorting my Lego out and fixing any damaged buildings my cousin’s little kid did to my sets. I also have to replace the heads she took off the minifigures. Let’s get started with Quick Hits!
Happy Friday, Pixbit Nation! How is everyone on this fine Friday morning? I'm looking out at the first real snowfall and feeling woefully under-prepared for my race on the 24th.
Literally! Here I think I am done with the goddamn game after beating another hard boss. Though, not as hard as the others...that I was just enthralled to be done with this boss. Then I peek on a walkthrough for where to go and there's like at least another boss. What in the fuck Bloodborne? There must be two more after this.
I haven't had any inspiration to write over the past few months and it is kinda bumming me out.
Well we’re into 2016 now, and with the 2015 Game of the Year stuff out of the way, it’s time to look forward to games that will be coming out this year! So here’s a list of games that I’m personally looking forward to. Now this isn’t a full list, since some stuff hasn’t even been announced yet since it’s so early. And my list does tend to lean toward the Nintendo side, because I don’t have a PS4 or Xbox One yet. But one of the things I’ll be looking forward to is finding out if those systems will have more games that interest me this year. It could very well happen, you never know! Well, at any rate, here are some games I’m looking forward to in 2016!
I know I shouldn't have but I spent the 10 bucks and got the PS3 version. I'm downloading the game and my armoured horsey as we speak.
Just to satiate my curiosity about just what caused my 3DS to mess up in the first place, I came across this thread on a DIY repair site that sums up just what the problem was and some of the work involved in fixing it.
