Last year, I finally got into Dark Souls and loved it. I loved the world, the combat, the challenge, the exploration. Maybe I just needed a bunch of failed attempts to get into Demon's Souls or a burnout on overly cinematic games caused by Uncharted 3 and Assassin's Creed 3. However, when I finally got around to Dark Souls 2, I was in denial for a little bit until I beat a boss and realized that I was just getting frustrated, not being able to enjoy the stuff I loved about Dark Souls.
Happy official first day of BaD, everyone! I have several reasons for being happy today. First and foremost: Patriots won the Super Bowl. Any comments hating on the Patriots will be deleted. You can hate them, just do it elsewhere. It was an awesome game, against a great opponent, and to be truthful, I thought it was over when Kearse made that incredible catch. Butler should have gotten MVP instead of Brady, in my opinion, because he certainly saved them with that last minute interception.
Today has been "Nicole does adult things" as in pay bills, renew my car registration and some food shopping. Next payday I have to pay off The Order, get my inspection done, and my phone bill. Any thing left goes to moving pretty much unless I finish Assassin's Apprentice and buy the 2nd novel. I did find the last Artemis Fowl novel, gonna want to read it till I finish my current book. I have had one good thing today
My PS4 game collection is off to a respectable start. Thus far I have:
I was a true patriot of Diablo III by playing all afternoon on Sunday. Then, I had to work during the first three quarters of Super Bowl, racing back to my friend's place to see the fourth and get right back to D3. You could call me a Diablatriot.
Well hello February, Pixlbit Nation and Blog A Day. Yes the month where we all get to see the awesome stuff you folks post every day. What am I looking for in this year’s rendition? I’m looking at the middle of the month were folks start to run out of things to write about, and see how creative everyone is. Don’t worry people I will be there with you struggling to find something. Anyways remember to have fun and enjoy the month; with that being said let’s start off Chris’ BaD with some familiarity, my usual Monday Ramblings about random games I played, but this one is a bit special because I’m letting some TV stuff usually saved for Quick Hits to ooze on in. Yes Chris will do a quick overview of his thoughts about the Super Bowl!
That Super Bowl is up there as one of the greatest games I've ever seen. I still think you should run it at the 1 yard line with Beast Mode (give the man some Skittles!), but well deserved win by the New England Patriots. And even after those great plays by former Footlocker employee Chris Matthews and that freak catch by Jermaine Kearse.
Still warming up my hands after having to shovel some icy slush a little while ago. I had gloves on, but that didn't help my situation one bit. Other than that and my seemingly neverending cold, I'm feeling okay today.
They say if you can do something for 4 weeks, it becomes a habit. Seeing as I only blog about once every six months now, I'm going to keep up with BaD to try and make this a habit, so I don't keep vanishing o.o
It’s kind of a tradition for me every year to write a blog roundup of my favorite Super Bowl commercials. I think it’s interesting how us folks here in the US treat the Super Bowl like a national holiday or something. Nothing wrong with that, I just think it’s interesting. I have to say, though, that while most years the commercials are disappointing, this year they were especially disappointing. A lot of the commercials were all serious and depressing. Where’s the funny? Normally as I watch the game, I take notes on the commercials that stood out to me. This year I didn’t even fill up one page! But I’m still going to write a blog about it anyway.
While my participation might not last a whole month, I'm gonna do my damn best. Today has been pretty much a slow day with me doing nothing but sleeping for work tonight. I'm still working nights as a caregiver however my shift will be changing in the coming weeks. I did some reading last night and ended up finishing the 7th novel in the Artemis Fowl series. I'm saddened by the fact that the next novel I have to read is the final one in a great series. It is a YA series but I encourage anyone of any age really to give the novels a chance. They have great stories that while end with each novel they still play a linking part to the whole series together. I still have yet to buy that final novel which my search for it begins tomorrow. I'm currently reading the Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobby and it's the first in her farseers trilogy.
Hello out there! The intro I wrote for BaD last year is still pretty accurate, so I'll forgo writing up another one for this year.
This is related to gaming only in that the drawers I was cleaning out contain my 3DS and PSP chargers.
Hey guys, gals, and whatever the fuck you freaks inbetween prefer to be called these days. My name is Blake, and it's time for BaD! Well, for me anyway, it just became monday here and I have nothing better to do.
First blog post in awhile! Since my last one, I've lived some, cried some, and generally have been okay. Thanks for reading this, pixlbitians!
