Pixlbit Nation how are you folks doing today? How was your July 4th? Anything fun happen? I spent time with the family, ate some cow, and watch TV. Yup there was a lot going on. My neighbors had a quiet time with a few fireworks and then the geniuses across the street in the other community decided to shoot their guns in the air. Yes these folks don’t understand how gravity works and those rounds they are firing will come down.
So the last was 39 into Poland next was Norway etc which is covered in 39 Poland the 1940 campaign covers Holland Belgium and the low country's and France.
What do you do for a nerdfest? Do nerdy things like play games and see science fiction or fantasy flicks. It may be beyond nerdiness to be doing this at my age, but what else do I got? Nuttin'. So there it is. Breakdown below. If it's not too freaky for ya.
Dunno, I guess I like variety in my RPGs. I'm currently playing as a Paladin, a Miner and a Blacksmith at the same time. Now I can dig my own minerals and make my own weapons, armour and tools. I'm still only an apprentice blacksmith and an adept miner but I'm working at improving my skills. I've got a way to go before I become a Master Paladin but I'm doing quests for all three jobs at the same time and really having fun with it.
So yes Panzer Corps is a pricey game but what you don't understand is that all the sales Steam is having Slitherine and Lords Studios will not be dropping the price this game stands firm on pricing and honestly $20 or $30 bucks isn't a bad price for what your getting then there's the Grand Campaign which is a series of campaigns that make one huge campaign the first being 1939 the conquest of Poland
Yesterday morning, I finally found all the Riddler trophies. Had to look up a couple to see where they were, but I'd say finding 98-99% of these on my own will do fine.
In fact, nearly a year. I got to be too much for VGChartz and was banned permanently. And that was after I calmed down a lot from my 1up days.
I went a little bit nuts on Gamestop's buy 2 get 1 free sale this weekend. I only had two titles in mind when I went, and each were at different Gamestops, so I ended up hitting the sale twice. Then I couldn't resist visiting my local retro shop just to see what they had on my NES list. Luckily they had a few things I wanted. Gaze at the gaming goodness below:
Pixlbit Nation Happy Friday and its almost time for July 4th! For you folks outside of the United States you can celebrate too, shoot off fireworks, burn some hot dogs, wear a lot of red, white, and blue, and take in a baseball game. You should be golden after that. So anything fun/interesting happen over the week? You know some things did. I’m debating if I should visit the local mom and pop store today to see if they have anything new. We shall see if I make up my mind after this blog, but let’s get this week’s Quick Hits started!
Listening to this whole album on Apple Music. It's absolutely beautiful. KnightDriver and Snee get on this!
And whether its on PS3 or 4 or 360 or One or PC etc have you played the perfect game?? Well I thought Xcom was mine but after 5 months of Panzer Corps I believe this successor to Panzer General 2 has taken the top spot for my perfect game.
I searched around Goodwill earlier today and I didn’t find anything I’d like; just the usual spots, rhythm, and not so interesting games. But while Mom wanted to get a couple of the Zelda danglers from the mall (more details here.) I had the opportunity to check out a shop called Game Swap. They are mostly a merchandise shop but they have some hard to find games as well. They even carried both Ultima: Runes of Virtue games for the Gameboy (Spoony talks about these games in his Runes of Virtue for the SNEs review: Part 1 and Part 2.) I looked around and found an Atlus DS game that caught my attention some years ago. So I got it, Knights in the Nightmare
So I didn’t get an Age of Ultron Mystery Box like I said I was in the last Figure Frontier entry, but that was because I had an opportunity to get Dad a Groot. I was looking about the fye while grabbing a couple of the Zelda danglers for Mom and myself and I found one from the part of the movie he really liked: Groovin Groot.
Swag can come in many palette pleasing forms. This one is music flavored. Enjoy.
Can you believe this year is already half over? What I like to do this time of year is write about the best games of the year 2015 so far. Everyone is all excited over the E3 announcements, and most of the really good titles come out during the Christmas season at the tail end of the year, and the games that come out earlier tend to be forgotten. So this is where those games get their due.
Just in case you this isn't a site you frequent and just type in a bunch of websites beginning with 'p' to hide your shame (it's called incognito mode, bitch!), I feel I should tell you that I, like everyone else on this site, like to indulge in entertainment of the interactive variety. No not that kind of interactive indulgence! Although... no! That was one time in vegas and the swelling in my nipples didn't go down for months!
I need to get back into writing blogs. I’m starting a new blog series, Figure Frontier. It’ll be like my previous Game Finds blogs (which I need to get back to again.) being short and to the point. First Figure Frontier blog can be found here. On with this blog.
Last week I grabbed four Kre-O Microchangers to add to my little collection. Two of the four were duplicates of Rodimus Prime, which I already have, so I put one in vehicle mode and left the other as a desk figure along with my Pop Vinyls.
I didn't interact much with media in 1990; out of school and desperately looking for work to get by didn't leave much time for anything else. I think I heard that band World Party and their single Way Down Now on the radio. I always like them. I was probably listening to rock radio, so I likely heard Alice in Chains and Jane's Addiction for the first time. Gaming didn't happen at all. I didn't read anything either other than Arthur Janov's Primal Scream book (I was doing the therapy at the time). I saw Akira Kurosawa's Dreams in the theater that year with my girlfriend. That's one I remember clearly because it was really good. Eventually I got work doing maintenance at a resort in the woods (I wanted to get into publishing but I got no responses). It was like a summer camp for rich New Yorkers. I did all sorts of jobs there, and it was nice to be outside all the time. I got the nickname "Monk" there for my reticence.
Hey everyone, just a quick update for today - as the title implies, I've updated the PixlBit Studios website, which can now be found at: http://www.pixlbitstudios.com.
