It was pretty much all about games and films this year for me. I got so into games, I started blogging at 1UP. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but clearly I got hooked. Five years later, and I haven't stopped. I guess I'll do another five.
Hey folks, Chef Cary here, and I’ve cooked up a banquet of GamerDad.com game reviews for you to gobble up. Better bring your stretchy sweatpants, because you’ll all have big fat bellies after this feast! Please click on and read as many reviews as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two. I’d really appreciate it! Thanks so much!
Good morning Pixlpeeps. I just want to say I almost bought the Kre-O GI Joe Terror Drome
Mark and I spent quite a bit of time in Gears of War: Judgment today, but i think both of us have had enough. Then I popped in Namco Museum Virtual Arcade and played Sky Kid and Sky Kid Deluxe, and then finally got started on Stacking. Details below.
Played more Gears of War: Judgment today after watching the Eagles lose by one point to the Dolphins. Thankfully Gears was fun, because the game wasn't.
It's the perfect day for a book sale. It's Fall, the sky is clear and bright, it's cool, and I got music on the brain. I haven't been so keen on books at the library book sales this year. It's been all about the music. Then I got a text message from Jay Str. Video Games that they had a game I wanted, Dragon Warrior I & II for Game Boy Color. I had some trades, so I thought I'd go pick that up. Here's a pic of all the stuff I got.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! It is a chilly 51 degrees currently in my little piece of Sunny Southern California, and over the past couple of days I’ve been wearing hoodies and sweatshirts. Yeah the best was when I was wearing a sweatshirt and everyone around me was in shorts and tees. Dang it tourists you’re ruining my fantasy of a Winter Wonderland! Anyways its Friday the 13th, time to look back at the week of things that didn’t involve video games that I like to call Quick Hits! Let’s get started! (I’m exclamation point happy right now)
I like 2009. I just like that number. I don't know why, but maybe it's because I have good associations with that year. Below is a breakdown of those associations.
Later today as of this blog supposedly last Nintendo Direct of this year will be live. I’m a bit excited to see actual release dates for Fire Emblem Fates but after a slow reimmersion of Pokemon I’m hoping to see a surprise trailer for a new main series Pokemon game. And with Pokken and Genei Ibun Roku ?FE taking more of my interest I’m debating, if possible, I should buy a Wii U or not. I hope that, if information will be available in the Nintendo Direct, Shantae makes it in Smash. I really like the character and this is pretty much a popular third party IP entering a game with Nintendo, SEGA, and Bandai-Namco characters.
I had this on a "most ancipated games of the year" blog I posted here a while back. Here are some screens
Happy Tuesday Pixlpeeps! I was going to post this yesterday but decided to hold off until today because I wanted to finish two games, get them off the Mount Backlog and maybe check out some other games. Since there was only one game I wanted to watch yesterday because my Aztecs were in a bye week (oh Dallas Cowboys. Why do you keep finding a way to lose in the last play or last series of a game). Let's get started with what I played over the weekend
Good morning, Pixlbit Nation! How is everyone this Tueday? I'm spending a lazy morning drinking coffee and laughing about what some people are getting offended over on the internet. Red coffee cups are apparently an attack on Christmas. Seriously, some people have way too much time on their hands. Me, there are never enough hours in the day for everything I want to do.
For me, that game would have to be Resident Evil, on the PSONE. Sure, my family had a couple games including Philosoma and Battle Arena Toshinden, and while Toshinden was definitely a leap above graphically, it was the game play of Resident Evil, and the cinematic nature of it, that kind of swallowed me into the next generation.
I said Mark and I would be deep into Gears of War: Judgment, and so we were. It was an all day session today. We beat the game, and right away started a second playthrough to gather the remaining cog collectibles and play through all the levels on Normal difficulty. It's all about the achievements now and trying new things in the game.
I bought Fallout 4 on pc and right now I really wish I didn't. Bethesda decided that only 2 aspect ratios exist, and if your monitor isn't one of those, you can't play fullscreen. Well you can, but at 240p. Alternatively, you can play in a tiny little window that...
Too many words for a blog again, so I'll get right to my Sunday game fest.
My question today is for the graphics whores inside us, but not for what a lot of people consider "good" graphics. I'm talking about games that are nontraditional, expressionistic, cartoon-like, or otherwise non-realistic in their graphical design.
It's hard to believe it has been so long, but I haven't blogged since May of last year! Not that I didn't like this site or that I stopped playing video games, I just have felt really critical of my writing skills and have had no urge to write whatsoever. Perhaps partly because I am playing more games right now than I have in years (but mostly because I can't sleep at the moment), I finally have a new blog!
