Wherein I catalog and share the games that are catching my attention and piquing my interest in year 15 of the second millenium.
I just passed 50k gamer score on Xbox live. Technically, I have about 3k more than this, but that 3k was on my old gamertag. Still, 50k is a nice number that makes me want to reminisce about my favorite achievements going back all the way to 2007.
I just finished GTA 5. And this was my pick for game of the year.
Soooo...I've been without internet since Dec. 15th. Money's tight and something had to go. My friend (and landlady's son) Michael ran a line over to the cottage, so now I have internet access at home once more. I just have to be careful not to stream too much stuff because of the usage cap.
EDIT: I already gave away my second copy of Frozen Synapse.
Pixlbit Nation, what is up? Happy Friday good people, hope the week treated you well and you are now ready to enjoy the weekend. So anything good happen? I became a year older, finished binge watching House of Cards, and other fun and crazy things but you’ll read about all that stuff later. Sound fun? Good, let’s get this started!
Continuing with Dragon Magazine 81, Jan. 1984. In this month, you might have played Atari’s laserdisc arcade game Firefox, based on the Clint Eastwood movie. It probably got made because of the success of Dragon’s Lair the year before. I have a vague memory of seeing this game in an arcade, but I don’t think I ever played it. Check out some video of it below.
First off, Happy New Years Everybody! Glad to see you all here again!
As you know, winter is usually a dead spot for gaming, thus not too many blogs from me. Plus, I don't own an Xbox One or PS4, so that limits my choices a bit.
Anyhow, I saw this really stupid article up on Yahoo front page, actually the #1 article on Yahoo's front page titled this:

I'm feeling lazy/tired/hungry, but I feel like interacting with you beautiful bastards. So go ahead. Ask me any question and I will answer it. Anything at all.
It seems like the Lynch Mob isn't coming after all. Or maybe they are gathering numbers, sharpening pitchforks, and making sure there's plenty of torches to go around. I might as well write something in the meantime.
So on today's Nintendo Direct they announced 2 special New Nintendo 3ds systems. They announced a Majora's Mask and Monster Hunter themed ones. As I went to preorder one of each, one for me and one for the bf the majoras mask one sold out......you can guess which one was mine. I'm totally utterly sad, I think I'll spend the day hiding under the bed covers wondering why the great video game god has abandoned me and forsaken me to despair and misery.
I was going to make this blog around the beginning of this month, but as usual for me, life and procrastination got the best of me. As I stated on my last blog, I went to Panama from New Years Eve to the second of January. Why so? There were actually much bigger plans for a trip to Orlando that my dad and her girlfriend were planning, but sadly an economic problem happened, so the only ones who could go to shiny Florida were the two daughters and son of my dads girlfriend (who also went to Panama, because they had to take the flight to Miami the next day). I didn't mind though, since i'm sure that will happen on another time and I've been to Panama before and I liked it. It was a very calmed trip, but I did manage to go to the cinema on the first day of the year and see:
I'm officially taking a break from Destiny. I have identified the mechanism for its addictive qualities that makes a person grind through the same handful of missions over and over in the hope of improving gear or finding new stuff. Cold turky is the only cure for addiction. I am annoyed with Bungie and Activision's approach to nickle and dime players for content. Never mind the unfairness caused to players who did not annie up for the dlc. Or the dedicated players who after a simple update discovered their coveted legendary and exotic gear had just become obsolete. Although exotics can be upgrade ( at a cost of 7 stranges coins and reseting all progress on said piece of gear) legendaries can not be upgraded, only replaced. The thing is this game has so much potential and it can be really fun. But these guys are just being greedy and lazy and it shows.
It's been a while since we last heard of Pokken news, to the point where I forgot about a fighting game where you play as Pokemon in my most wanted games list. I mean, what the hell Greenman? So, since Lucario and Machamp are the only Pokemon confirmed, I'm gonna list some Pokemon who I want to play as in Pokken. I'm not going to put in the huge no brainers though like Charizard or Hitmo(chan/lee/top), we all know those guys are coming. These are not as popular, iconic, or a no brainer Fighting type, but I feel could bring something interesting to the game.
So GG now stands for GamerGate. The only thing I can say about the movement, regardless what goes on, is that I support the ethics of gaming in general whether or not I’m part of the club. That being said I would like to say that GamerGate has finally gone against me as a gamer by abbreviating the name. Now I have to type out “Good Game” to avoid a bad situation when all I want to do is just play.
I played a whole bunch of Diablo III today with my friend Mark. I've discovered that Barbarians and Wizards really don't get along. Seems like we were at each other's throats most of the time. I think it was due to playing on easy. You don't really need two characters at that difficulty, so it becomes a competition for who gets the most kills quickest. After a while, I had to take a diferent part of the map so we wouldn't be kill-stealing each other. When we start playing this game for real on higher difficulty, I'm sure we'll cooperate more; we'll have to.
