This just came out of nowhere on my Facebook feed, but according to Polygon, he is dead of a bile duct growth.
At one time in my life, my gaming collection took up a rather large portion of my bedroom wall. I had the mediocrities, the "products of their time (i.e. Combat, Battle Arena Toshinden, Zero Tolerance, etc.), the unplayable horrors of the digital age (2600 Pac Man, snes Pit Fighter, Cosmic Carnage, Deadly Towers), the misunderstood masterpieces, and the certified classics. I was unhappy with my life, and that shelf filled me with minutes of the artificial sweetener that I thought that I needed.
trust me pixlbit better jump on this sale it won't last long and you will not see this again for some time I would definitely jump on this price.
You know how the Discovery Cable Channel has Shark Week? Well this week we’re going to have Squid Week, with squid themed blogs at the beginning and end of the week. This first blog will be about Splatoon. It’s been a very well-received Wii U title and a lot of people have praised it. But not a lot have talked about the retro-styled mini-games in Splatoon, so I’m going to do that right now!
Yes you heard right but hurry before its gone.
Hello again pixlbit, wow! 3 blogs in a week kinda rare for me,
Thought I'd share the playlist I'm listening to this week. This is everything I could find in my collection and which I bought this week. I'm having a lot of fun listening to all this stuff in shuffle mode. It gets me through my last hour of work every night and it's a blast.
Just a couple of announcements. The first is just a minor detail: I’m going to stop doing Game Finds and Figure Frontier as separate blogs and just put my purchases as a single blog entry along with what other news is going on. The main reason is to just to keep it simple instead of typing different entries for what I can get in one day, such as the case with the Figure Frontier and Game Finds back to back from last week which both the figures and the game Knights in the Nightmare have been bought in the same afternoon.
Happy Friday Pixlbit Nation! It is a breezy 90 degrees here in Sunny Southern California. Currently I have family from Hawaii visiting so I moved my PS4 so my cousins could play it. I noticed it was left on this morning and there is a new game on my XMB, some Plants vs. Zombies game. As long as I didn’t pay for it I’m good. They’ve played a bunch of the Rocket League game, which looks like fun and I might get in on the Season of that game a bit later. I have to say there hasn’t been a lot of gaming from me because I’ve been busy but my cousins are putting in work earning trophies for a couple of games.
I finished guiding the red fish and blue bird through all nine lifetimes and becoming the dragon (dragon, catch the dragon, Dragon Ball Z!). And I think this may be the first video game I've played that actually helps with insomnia. The music is incredibly relaxing and the aesthetic is great. Only it is a challenge to keep track of both sides of the screen for me. I was thinking about all the science articles I've read about how multitasking is basically a myth and blue may have only been recognized recently in many cultures.
I did not know this but the original prototype for the game was on N64. Looks pretty good for that era too. I'll definitely be adding the HD remake to my collection when it comes out.
I just finished volume 3 of the original TMNT and found this Abadox game ad under the front cover. Abadox is a 1990 side-scrolling shoot 'em up like a Gradius for the NES. You have to shoot your way through the digestive track of an alien organism. I'm going to have to add it to my list. See pic below:
Good morning Pixlbiticans! This popped up on my Twitter feed this morning and since I know some of you folks like Comics, and there's a certain convention starting tomorrow I thought I'd share. You can add this to SDSU also offering a class on Klingon, and other TV Languages
Lately I’ve been working on reviewing a lot of downloadable indie Wii U games lately. I’ve got four on my list right now, with a good possibility of more to come later. The Wii U has been doing a pretty good job of having a sizable list of indie games in their eShop roster lately. They’ve been a godsend since it’s getting harder and harder to review mainstream titles recently. And it got me to thinking about my favorite indie video game characters. So here’s a blog about that. Enjoy!
1991 seems to be the real start of the '90s the way I see it. I heard Blues Traveler, Metallica, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Spin Doctors all over the radio (As soon as I listened to my playlist tonight, I was immediately brought back to the 90s and everything I did in those years). The SNES came out and the war between Sega and Nintendo began; although, i wasn't gaming at all and wasn't aware of it. The only movie I saw in the theater that year was Woody Allen's Shadow's and Fog. I don't remember anything about it, but I do remember the theater I went to see it in New York. It was a trying year for me that ended in me returning to my hometown. Below I've listed some media I'd like to visit, or in some cases revisit, this week.
Today began with a lot of NES games, culminating in a Wizardry campaign that saw The Super Friends turn into Super Fiends; and ended with an earfull of potty mouth poetry from the characters of Bulletstorm. Here's the breakdown
