Pixlpeeps, what is up? Friday is here and this is going to be a two-part blog. Let me explain. I’m currently writing this blog in the morning getting most of my thoughts typed before I head out to pick up my sneakers from the UPS facility, and continuing this entry once I get home. Ok so its two-part for me, one long blog for you folks. So the weekend; Are you excited? I think I am going out of town again this weekend but I don’t know if its going to be camera worthy or just snapping pictures with the phone. We shall see. I need to use the Mii’s I collected last week so I have free space for more Mii’s. Seriously why do we only get 10? I think we should collect as many Mii’s as possible. Anyways let’s get this Quick Hits started!
If you're in the DFW area (Cary, Travis, probably more I can't remember) and love gaming and giving (all of you), here's a link for you: http://comicattack.net/2015/10/support-childrens-hospitals-with-extra-life-and-heroic-inner-kids/
I'm listening to the whole thing on Apple Music. Loving it. Here are a couple of tracks.
Not really much in my snack bracket on sale this week but I could get Bloodrayne 1 and 2 and the PS2 version of Siren all for 5 bucks. Even at that paltry sum I'm wondering if they are worth it.
I just finished the demo. It's not too long but gives you a chance to find a bunch of Yo-Kai and explore the battle system which is something a little different. You basically choose fight and then rotate various Yo-Kai on a ring into position to charge them up. In order to charge up an attack you play mini games like tracing shapes, popping bubbles or spinning in circles with your stylus. As in most RPGs you gain experience by defeating enemies
Forgot to post this on Monday. I got this poster, actually two of them, from some Gamestopers. It's kinda neat. It shows the history of Mario games over their 30 year history. Pretty cool, I say.
I know some of you might say Xenoblade, or Dark Souls 3, or Fallout 4, but for me it's simple: the new Zelda. I couldn't really play Skyward Sword because of the motion controls, so it's been a while since I've had a deep Zelda experience, and this one looks awesome. Whether it's for the Wii U or the new NX, I'll be there, and I'll play the fuck out of it.
2006, a year in which I bought a Xbox 360 because I just had to play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It was a nice moment I remember seeing that expansive world for the first time at home. I got into comics starting with The Halo Graphic Novel. From there it was weekly visits to the comic store to pick up all sorts of new stuff. I also starting reading the Halo novels this year and have been ever since. The insane and incredibly entertaining movie Crank came out this year. I still quote from it all the time. I distinctly remember going to the movies to see Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. It was ok. My favorite song, as happens many a time, was in the credits, the song, The Metal. I guess I could say more, but I think I'll just drop a bunch of top ten (or less) lists. Feelin' kinda down today.
So when I went to enter my credit card security number so I could get the deal on Shadow of Mordor GOTY, the transaction didn't go through after a little window popped up telling me there was a problem.
Tuesday Pixlpeeps, Tuesday is here. I really should get back to my Monday entries but I like the Tuesday vibe. An extra day to maybe squeeze one more day of games for the update, be lazy about what I want to write about, and catch up with the blog entries you good people have written. So far my PS4, 360, Vita, and 3DS all haven’t been powered on. No reason other than when I do want to play an actual console game I’ve been hitting the PS3, but more on that later. This morning while browsing through Slickdeals I saw this ad, and thought of you folks. For you folks who are on the fence about which console to get this is a pretty good bundle
After revising my short-play list last night, I got down to some new titles today (Monday that is) starting with the Wii. I had my Game Cube controller ready to go for some Game Cube games too. Then it was back to Xbox 360, football and more Xbox.
I had a half day of gaming today because of family, but that's ok. There's still a bunch of stuff to mention as I continue to churn through my quick-play playlist.
I'm going to cheat on this one -- my favorite video game movie is Tron. It's not an adaptation, but it's a video game movie, I think. I saw it in a drive-in when I was a kid... I don't think when it first came out, but later. I really remember the color of it, and then when I was young I would watch it on TV and VHS over and over. That kind of view of "computer land", informed me a lot, even if it is not realistic. Growing up with DOS computers and even more basic technology, it was the promise of the future.
I had $100 left of graduation money, so since my thesis came in over the weekend all nice and bound, I decided to celebrate by spending $98 on PSN, cause I saw a lot on sale I wanted.
Happy Sunday, Pixlbit! Hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend. I've been busy this past week having fun.
So have you ever wanted to escape from the prison but didn't want to serve the real life consequence,s Because in this game you can do that and although the graphics are very dated the game is very very fun to play very addicting And very tough.
