Good news for PS4 owners. you get New and Tasty this month. Also Valiant Hearts, OlliOlli 2 and Counter Spy PS3 owners get Counter Spy and Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishment.
Because Kojima is an auteur. Everyone else is work-for-hire.
Hey all, it's been quite a while since I've had something posted up on here - aside from the feature in the "Why we game" article that went up a little while back. Things have been so much more hectic than I anticipated. Having a full time job is definitely that - full time. Its been a challenge getting to anything personal, especially games which hurts because thats my prime hobby, as we know.
I'm still coming down off the high of finishing the Bradbury Mountain Snowshoe Series, not to mention my quads are killing me. I've got the fever, folks, I'm already planning for next year, and I found myself tempted to sign up for a six mile race in NH. I quashed that one, it's this coming Sunday and there's a 1324 foot elevation gain. There's no way I'd be able to do that physically so soon after Sunday's race. If it hadn't been for the elevation gain, I might've, though...
First up today was Super Mario RPG (Wii virtual console). I played this up unitl the first major boss, Mack, and beat him. I really love this game. I almost played it all day, but I decided I'd play up until a boss every weekend for a while. I guess it's so I can fit in some 360 gaming with Mark. I kind of like the idea of playing a game just up to a major boss and then doing something else. It breaks up the game into nice chunks that give you some time to think about it afterwards.
Well, I made a Twitch profile and recorded some footage of me playing Rayman Legends ... or so I thought. Don't see anything in my "past broadcasts." Hmm ...
Well good morning good people of the Pixlbit Nation, how are you on this March 2nd? Currently in my portion of what is usually sunny Southern California, it rained all day yesterday and it could rain again today. Right now the sun is out, and it is a little cool but nothing-normal folks can’t handle. So as I finished my Quick Hits blog on Friday I went to charge my laptop and it finally happened, the adaptor gave out and it wouldn’t go past 17% charge. This sucked because I needed to sync and charge my iPod full of the latest podcasts and changes to playlists so after a trip to the Best Buy and $80 later
The games are usually announced by now but the is still no word and they usually drop on the first Tuesday of every month so it may be a last minute surprise.
Blog a day was kind of bust for me but to be truthful, I just got really lazy in the past week. Did my taxes, got a decent return back and I've been thinking about adding more RAM to my main desktop/gaming computer. Maybe I'll even take it a step further and upgrade my processor; this is most to due to the fact that the Witcher is going to need some faster than my i-5 3470 (3.2 GHz). Although it seems to be up to the task for the PC version of GTA V (I just want to replay it for the mods).
I think I might see about just recording my gameplay on Twitch and posting it here every week day this month. We shall see.
Five miles of hilly hell this morning and my third race is done. I'm exhausted and sore and you'll have to read about it on my other blog. But it has pretty pictures!
So as I've mentioned my plan worked and I was able to pick up a New 3DS XL for no out of pocket expense. Ok, that's kind of a lie, I had to pay $1.45. LOL
I looked at my 3DS tonight (it's actually early Saturday morning) and saw the addition of 2 more Miis to make 4 total so far this week. I'm a little disappointed because I went to Barnes & Noble, a Nintendo Hot Spot, and only got one Mii from there. I didn't go there just for Miis though, I went there to buy Retro Gaming Magazine.
I just beat Metroid Prime for the second time a half an hour ago. So I figured I'd end the month with one of gaming's greatest series, and one of my favorites. Granted, I have not played every Metroid to completion so I won't be able to get everything on here. But I think I have enough on each one to give something interesting.
So, here we are on the last BaD blog. I gotta be honest, 2015 BaD passed more quickly than I anticipated. Overall, this year was more low key due to my comittment to university, so that's why I only had a few "big" blogs and mostly focused in short blogs, with this week being no exception, given that in 2014 I bloged about my top 5 favorite games on a lengthy basis. That said, instead of a goodbye to BaD 2015, I decided to end on a special note and blog about what might be one of the most iconic Freeware games in the last few years and which I just recently started:
