So I finally completed another set of armor in MHU4. It took awhile but I finally got down a decent strategy to take down the Kecha Wacha.

Happy Friday Pixlbit Nation! I am typing this blog up on Thursday morning because hopefully this time on Friday I will be sitting in a theater watching the Avengers and wondering how Agents of SHIELD fits in. While I am typing this up I’m currently watching Green Batman (Arrow) and I’ll give my thought about the season so far later on in our little conversation. So shall we get started with Quick Hits?

I'm Not Liking This New Trend....

So has anyone else noticed that game delays are becoming more and more popular?  Everytime it seems a game is getting pushed back. I know it's better for them to delay than release a broken game but I mean come on, don't give a release date if the game isn't no where near done. If your give me a date or even a estimated time frame then that should mean it's atleast halfway or near complete.  Well for those excited for Dead Island 2 your waiting till next year now. I was excited for this title but the very little updates on it gave away that it was going to get delayed. I just don't like that this is becoming a trend. I knows delays have always been apart of the gaming industry but you can not fucking tell me it's not getting worse because it is. Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC*2 times,I think*, The Witcher 3*2 times*, The Order, Batman Arkham Knight and now Dead Island 2. There is probably more that I'm not remembering. I just even has a teenager delays did not seem to happen this much and now practically a great deal of big name titles are being pushed back. I think I'll just do myself a favor and not put too much faith into release dates anymore until it's a day away from release.

Just a cut and paste of the blog page to save you pickerelbites a click. I already have Unfinished Swan (which is great by the way). I'll put all of them on my download list even if I can only play the PS3 games and I have no idea if the Murasaki Baby with work on PS TV. (apparently not)

So as Captain N pointed out today, it's Superhero day. So I thought I'd join in with my favorite superheroes. So here's my list of my favorite heroes:

Some youtubers I watch got a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X and streamed it. The game is in Japanese so unless you can read it you might have no clue what's going on but I'd figured I'd post it since some might wanna watch it a lil to get a peek of what's coming to the Wii U.

Pixlbit Nation how are you doing on this Tuesday morning? I decided to skip my usual Monday morning blog because there was a lot on my plate and I didn’t want to dedicate only a bit of my attention to my latest entry. I had a project that needed to be revised and it took longer than I thought, and I got to spend the afternoon at the car dealership getting the oil changed. The only positive to this was that I had free Wi-Fi so I could keep up with what was going on in the Twitter and Reddit Universe (Their big TVs were airing reruns instead of the news coverage going on in Baltimore) so the Internet was keeping me up to date. Anyways over the weekend I spent time with just a couple of games, and the majority of that time was with one tablet game.

I just finished reading the second novel in The Strain series. It was a great read. I'm also on the third of the graphic novels now. It would appear that two graphic novel volumes equals one of the text novels.

I played Borderlands The Pre-Sequel again today with my Level 24 Baroness, doing side missions and avoiding the main story. It's so fun to just tool around and listen to the NPCs tell you their crazy stories while doing missions for them. I want to postpone the end as long as possible.

 Yeah. The title says it all. Every time I try to write a blog lately, there's nothing. Same with commenting. I just can't be fucked. There doesn't seem to be a reason to. For the time being I think I'm done. I'll probably come back eventually, but for now I'm going to have to take a break from pixlbit.

So anyways I want to start this blog by congratulating Captain N for being chosen at random  for my Club Nintendo giveaway prize.  Enjoy your game! Thanks to everyone who participated! As in other news we have the sad conclusion of Kojima's departure from Silent Hills. Del Toro is gone, Norman Reddus is gone, and it is likely to be cancelled..or probably is. Konami stated they would try to continue without Kojima on board and now it appears as if they'll need to go back to the drawing board all together.

I played a lot of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel today. I continued with my Baroness character. I came across the same problem I had with my other characters. If you limit what equipment you choose to equip, you will end up being underpowered in the late parts of the game.

Looking at my past blogs, I guess it hasn't been that long but it feels like it. I've gotten a few things done in the meantime, like a read Marvel 1602. It's a graphic novel with the Marvel universe set at the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. It was really cool. Nick Fury was the head of the Queen's intelligence, Dr. Strange was the court physician, and Dr. Doom owned a castle in Latveria. There was also the X-Men, Peter Parquour Wink, and the Fantastic Four, among others. It was a really good story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. (Is it any surprise that it was written by Neil Gaiman?)

So who here is playing Heroes of The Storm?

I was just wondering what opinions you have about the game if you are playing it.
It's supposed to be a more casual, accessible MOBA with a Blizzard theme, and so far that is what my impression of it is.  I've seen it being called a dumb baby game and all sorts of bad things from MOBA fans, but I still think it's fun. It's fast, short,  free and in Beta right now. 

 

The othe game it reminds me of is Infinite Crisis, the DC Comic MOBA, which has short rounds but still has the 'last hit' mechanic of League and DoTA2.

Nintendo just released some new Mario Kart 8 tracks, and it made me think about other fun Nintendo themed DLC and bonuses in games.  So I wrote a blog about it.  Enjoy!
