Blog-a-Day is over! Wow, that was a lot of blogs, both to write and read. Thanks to everybody who commented on mine. I tried to get around and comment on things but man, there were just too many. Still hoping to go back and read some more but we're moving this weekend, so I won't exactly have a lot of time 
Life just never lets up, ya know?
Another year, another BaD done. Time passes fast in life. If you blink, you'll miss it. I think everybody who participated did a GREAT job, even those who couldn't do it every day. It's the thought that counts, and just being part of the community is a cool thing, I think. BaD is kind of our own personal holiday where we remember 1up, and celebrate both the present and the future of our blogging. It's nice that we do it.
Hello all, it's been a while since I sat down and wrote a blog. Just been super busy with work, trying to find a new vehicle I would like to buy and also house
shopping as well. And started dating a wonderful woman. I have been checking in on the site to keep up with news and reading blogs, I comment as much as I can. So with my very limited gaming time, here is what I have been up to:
Well for me it is anyway. Those of you BaD blogging tomorrow have one more day to go and you've done well!
Pixlbit Nation happy Blog A Day #20, where llamas are black and white and dresses are all kinds of black and blue (you white and gold folks are crazy.) Today is the end of BaD which is kind of sad because I liked writing something every day, reading your stuff (again behind, sorry) and we all learned something new, found something interesting, and overall had a good time. I like to think you guys/gals/little green aliens all enjoyed this time. Today is Friday, let’s get started with my favorite, Quick Hits with Chris!
This month I've been completely absent from blogging. Sorry I couldn't participate in BaD this year. But I just had to share this in case others aren't aware yet. Last night, I was treated to a nice surprise upon booting up my Wii U and visiting the eShop. I saw the following:
Hey Pixlbit. Sorry I've been kinda MIA. I figure everybody's got their hands full keeping up with BaD. I've also been trying to be more productive lately. By more productive I mean being a lazy bastard, watching a ton of Fist of the North Star and random movies on Netflix, and don't forget about playing some damn games.
While reading the second half of Dragon Magazine #106, February 1986, I thought about that date and remembered that the movie Quicksilver, staring Kevin Bacon, came out. I don’t remember much about it except that Kevin Bacon rode some cool bikes, but the music I was very interested in because it featured Tony Banks, keyboardist for my favorite band at the time, Genesis. There was also a song with Fish, lead singer of Marillion, another band I followed back then. But enough reminiscing, on with Dragon 106.
I've been wanting to play LBP or LBP2 co-op again for a while now. There are a bunch of x4 areas that I still haven't gotten, plus, LBP is just more fun with friends. I started trying to organize a game on Facebook early yesterday afternoon. I had people who said they were definitely in, some that said they'd try, and no response from a bunch more. I knew it was last minute, so I didn't figure I'd hear from everybody anyway, and you can only play with up to four people. By evening, it looked like I had a solid four player game happening. And then the time to actually play rolled around...
I gave up on BaD, which you probably all noticed. Just didn't have the oomph this year. Anyway...
When I asked for any games people wanted me to talk about, Cary gave me a list of games I mostly don't own and in some cases, haven't even heard of. But there was one game in there I do own: Klonoa. Remember picking it up cheap, maybe even as part of a B2G1 Free sale, but never got around to it until now.
For this BaD I'm going to talk about game genres I don't play and why. Then you get your turn.
I really do need to stock my fridge better. I just ... am never in the mood for the healthy shit I eat, so I just stock eggs, chicken, protein powder, and milk and don't snack. I should throw those dollar store hot dogs out too ... I never trusted them.
Happy Thursday good people of the Pixlbit Empire, how are you doing? For some odd reason my body decided to wake up at 4:50am earlier this morning for now reason. When I decided to browse the Internets on the iPad the Internet was down and wasn’t running up until maybe 20 minutes ago when I reset the FiOS router. Everything is now good and I can continue to take part in Blog A Day. For today’s entry I’ve decided to take a small break in all the Playstation love and not show my original Playstation games and instead hold that for next week which I am calling BaDBonuses because I still have a couple of consoles I have yet to talk about.
One of hallmarks of the archtypical indie game is that it has a cool art style that catches the eye, and Penumbear certainly nails that. When you get down to it, it's a puzzle platformer but it's presented very well. The graphics aren't as stark as LIMBO but they are mostly black and white with colors used to denote actual light, and light plays an important role in this game.
