Jay sets off to Vegas and Los Angeles for the world premiere of Nintendoquest. One man. 30 days, 678 games. No online purchases.
Pixlbit Nation what is up? The week has started up, the weather is hot, and I am back to recapping what I played over the past week. So how are you good people? Everything good? This past weekend I went to the local GameStop with the intention of pre-ordering this game
Gerald: Sure you will. Let me introduce you to the man with the silver knuckles.
So another E3 came and went and honestly, I did not pay a fraction of my attention that I usually do. Blame now having an adult life and responsibilities. However, I did look up quite a few things and here's what I think.
IWell, another E3 has come and gone. Now it’s time for me to complain about not being able to go to E3 AGAIN this year. But the games they showed at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo were pretty neat, and still worth talking about, so here’s a blog all about that. Enjoy!
Good morning and Happy Friday Pixlbit Nation! It is currently a nice 77 degrees here in what is usually Sunny Southern California but today the sky looks like this
I was going to comment a few things on E3 but I haven’t really been keeping track of it so I’m just going to talk about one thing I’ve noticed: Federation Force. The Metroid fanbase is causing a hell of an uproar over this, with a partition to cancel the game. I guess I’m not that much of a fan because I actually want to check this out on release.
I filled my swag bag a little early this week and came to a decision. It's no use looking for specific music in used bins anymore. I rarely find what I'm looking for and it ends up amounting to a lot of wasted time. I'm tempted to buy via download, but I'm not that discouraged. I think, I'll just do my search and destroy missions less fequently and pick up anything interesting instead of looking for specific titles.
Happy Wednesday Pixlbit! I saw this pop up on my Twitter feed and I thought I’d share it with you.
This week I'm celebrating 1988 in the arts. In retrospec, '88 was a pretty good year, but at the time I was not involved in consuming media all that much. I was at college in upstate New York kind of isolated from a lot of stuff. Plus, I was going through an anti-TV phase and steered away from any fellow students who watched their favorite shows everyday. I wanted to get away from the life I led at home: school, TV, homework, bed. Yuk! I grew to hate that routine, and I still do. But I'll try and remember the good stuff here below.
So, there have been a few announcements that have made E3 kind of epic....okay very epic. First while I don't have a Xboxone or PS4 I will say this... They both did something that the others could only salivate at. First the XboxOne will be backwards compatible with 360 games at no extra cost. This is great for 360 fans who were still holding onto that 360 of theirs and it's nice they'll have another reason to adopt to the next gen. PS4 is still the only one that does not do this. The PS4 meanwhile is getting great new exclusives like oh IDK... that FFVII remake everyone has been clamoring for since the PS3 tech demo. or how about The Last Guardian is finally coming. or even yes...a game no one expected and I will be supporting... SHENMUE 3!!! Let's kickstart this immediately!!! So PS4 brought the great exclusives.
I don't know how many Canadians visit our blogs, but right now Amazon has a great deal when you pre-order certain games. 20% for 2 games, and 30% for 3 or more:
...when the opening theme started up? After years of ports, teases, and mediocre spinoffs (Crisis Core excluded), SquareEnix has finally done it. Well, they've announced that they're going to do it: remake Final Fantasy VII, far and away the most popular entry in the series. Personally, I fell in love with the game many years ago on PSone. But over time those feelings were tempered by newer and flashier Final Fantasies, and I found myself entertaining arguments from the game's detractors: that it was overrated because of its popularity, that it wasn't perfect even back then and certainly hadn't aged well, and that FFVI did everything first and better. But as they say, the heart wants what it wants, and the anticipation I felt as this reveal unfolded reminded me of the impact the original game had on me years ago.
I brought over to Mark's place several arcade collections I had today: Data East Arcade Classics for Wii, SNK Arcade Classic Vol. 1 for Wii, and Taito Legends vol 1 for Xbox. The Xbox game wasn't backwards compatible with 360, so I put that aside. Then I got a bug to play Culdcept Saga instead, and when I did, I realized I could update my rig shot with the new TV.
