On PS4, PS3 and Vita. I'm excited to try it out.
Happy Friday Pixlpeeps! It is the day before Halloween and I have decided to not carve a pumpkin this year. I like creating a design and then carving it but the clean up and having to gut the dang thing really sucks. So are you folks dressing up for Halloween? I’m going to do my usual of wearing a jersey and calling it a day, besides I hand out candy, make sure random little kids don’t walk into the house (this happened one year, when a kid knocked and then walked past me turned around and waited for candy. He had to have been maybe 3 and his parents got a kick out of it). Speaking of candy I really should go buy candy. That’s another thing I should have done while at Target a couple of days ago. Anyways lets’ get started with another Quick Hits with Chris!
Great art is personal, rather than universal. We find the things that relate to ourselves and cultivate them. When I think back on the transformative experiences I've had with art, I find myself terribly alone. But I should not feel alone: there is a connection between myself and the artist that is the purpose of all art. I might not have experienced what he or she intentioned, but I was still touched. And that matters. I've had more than a few sublime experiences with video games, and I think back to taking my first steps into Hyrule Field, or flying through the air as Knuckles in Sonic Adventure, or getting off the train in Half-Life 2. Games have provided me with some wonderful moments -- in the past.
I was so happy last night killing another brutish boss in the ever - challenging Bloodborne that I was shaking.
Hey folks, here’s another batch of games I’ve been reviewing lately over at GamerDad.com. And just in time for Halloween, most of these are spooky and kooky games! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two here or there. I’d really appreciate it. Happy Halloween!
Games have taken us to some pretty amazing places: the distant future, the distant past, far off into space, far into fantasy worlds, to amazing places of the present, and to amazing places that will never exist outside the realms of our imaginations. But is there a place you want to go that video games have yet to represent?
What's ya gonna do in 2007? Hear some music? Read a book? Watch a tv show? Naw, it's all about the gaming. Some really big series, still very relevant today, got their start in '07. But I got some things to say about the rest of the media. Here's it all.
Okay, I’ll admit: I have been procrastinating both my vacation plans and some writing but I think it’s time to get into things. After I’m done posting this blog I’m going straight to my PC in the living room and start up System Shock 2. As far as writing is concerned I’ve been having mixed thoughts about it. One moment I’m up to writing a review but then suddenly I ask myself what am I doing. When I email the current review I’m writing I’ll talk to the guy. Writing blogs on the other hand is something I have been seriously putting off, even though nothing has really happened. Though I have discovered something about my ability to write or work in general.
I got Halo 2, 3, and 4 on day-one, but not this time. Halo 4, the first post Bungie, kind of annoyed me, so I'm not doing it this time. Oh well, end of an era for me. I got my old school gaming on instead.
Guys, I'm bummed out that I had to cancel this years horror fest game marathon. I've just been busy with new games which wasn't an issue a year ago. This is also a good thing as it means the game industry is healthy and all good. I'll just give a brief update on things...
Samurai Warriors 4-II (PS4)
I've never played these games. This was the first and I really enjoyed it. There is a lot of game here, and I still have half the game to finish. Probably one of the best if the internet doesn't lie. It was the right series to jump in on, but I've also heard good things about Dragon Quest Heroes, which I also want to play.
Corpse Party Blood Drive (VITA)
So. I was wondering. If you could resurrect one game series from the dead, what would it be? I thought about this one for a long time. There's a bunch of series there haven't been sequels, great games that just kind of faded into history for one reason or another. Crash Bandicoot, Project Gotham Racing, Faxanadu (
), the list goes on.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! I figured I should get back on my normal routine of Monday and Friday entries, and use the rest of the week to read your writings. So guess what? I actually fired up my PS4. After updating (ugh!, seriously why can’t it update automatically like the PS3) I was ready to go. I also spent some time with the 3DS XL, along with my usual tablet gaming. Sounds like fun? Well we should get started.
I played a lot of different games today. Most of them annoyed me in different ways, but I was happy to get a bunch of them done and put aside as trade bait. My mission is to pair down my collection as far as possible. I guess my onlly problem is that I sometimes still add games to it like this week when I bought Ys I & II Chronicles for PSP. Here's the pic.
So ive finally gotten a bit of break from work, Ive been getting alot of extra hours but since the overtime laws for caregivers has changed they pretty much have had their hands forced to keep us from working too much. Previously we didnt get overtime pay, we got Holiday, but not overtime. Now since they have to, I was informed yesterday that unless its approved we cant ask for more hours unless were getting below 40. I still work around 48 to 52. Im approved since under the circumstances thats what my clients need me for. However passed that I have to be approved for more and they wont do that unless its an emergency. Your probaby thinking "Arent, you happy? your getting payed overtime?" Im kind of unsure because I dont know excately how my check is gonna look. If its an improvement, then sure. However Im worried that I wont be able to get extra hours especially when I need the extra cash to get by so Im kind of uneasy. My parents are gonna help me get my C.N.A. which will be a big help because I will qualify for jobs that make around 12.00 to even 16.00 an Hr. I just have to hold out till January at the latest. The money for it will be avaiable in November but we wont know when the next 2 week program will start. Oh, did I mention the program Im doing only takes 2 weeks? Yup, it normally takes I think 6 months. There is a school that offers it in 2 weeks. Its alot to absorb in 2 weeks but this will help in March when Im possiablly gonna be living on my own. I say that because my sister Justine, isnt sure just yet that she will be able to live with me for atleast the first 2 months. The lease isnt up till May at her current apartment. Im pretty excited since March will be here soon, Im moving back to my home town. My mother needs me close by, being all the way in Fortworth has been really rough on her and my father. Well Im now off to read yalls blogs and try to get caught up. Im behind big time again. I hope yall are all well ^_^
I'm still part time at the market, so I really shouldn't be spending anything on unnecessary items right now, but Tales of Zestiria dropped on Tuesday. I was going to be good and not buy it. That lasted until Wednesday. I had to go to Target and stock up on paper goods, and Game Box Video Games is on the way. I'd already made the decision to buy the game, I have no willpower when it comes to long ass JRPGs, and the Tales franchise is a close second to the Dragon Quest franchise as my favorite series. As we're driving to Topsham, Jason asks: "can you really afford it right now?" to which I responded "probably not, but it will make me happy."
