Merry Christmas everyone! It’s time for my annual Pretend Christmas Party here on my blog. There will be pretend Christmas presents, game reviews, and other goodies! Hop on in and read for all the fun! Everyone’s invited!
This was the November 1982 issue and the last one I have for that year. These are some of my notes and scans of things that interested me. You can read the whole issue if you want at annarchive.
So yeah, it's really in the title. Some of these are on my GOTY list, some aren't. However they are games you may not have heard of that you might enjoy. Also, it's almost christmas and I just got home from work so if tyou're expecting effort you've come to the wrong place. You get like 3 sentences max. And no pictures. Because fuck pictures. Ain't nobody got time for that.
first, im keeping this simple since not everyone will understand everything.
second, yes some dinos will have very funny and/ or difficult names.
Well I went to pick up my copy today with my bf and apparently the limited edition ones were delayed. The new release date is Dec 23/24. The associate at Gamestop said it could definitely come sooner but for now this is the new date. I'm utterly disappointed. I was so excited for this, it seems like nothing is going as planned in the gaming world. *sigh*
Continuing my obsession with Dragon Magazine. These are my notes to the articles within.
I played my original Xbox today. I didn't think playing it would last too long, but I so underestimated the goodness of Sid Meier's Pirates!. But before I got ye olde Xbox over to my friend's place, I made a little Gamestop pit stop and thought to preorder a game that was already out. Silly me. I was hesitant to buy it, but this game has been on my mind now for months, and it just seemed the right thing to do. Picture below.
Last week was just a taste of things getting crazy before the holiday, and it certainly didn’t help that fused all my personas to the point I needed to fuse new ones for methodical battles again. But now I’m up to pair so far and even started helping some people by posting my PQR (Persona QR) codes on Twitter (which I’ll also post from time to time here if anyone has a copy of Persona Q). While I just went to home as usual Friday afternoon a few things had made my weekend. The first is one of the new 3DS themes: Persona Q.
Hello Pixlbitians, how is December going and the winter treating you over the north?
Well Happy Monday Pixlbit Nation! Since 2014 is almost over I felt it was time to bring back a new favorite, The Second Annual Chris Goes Awards Show! Last year I thought it would be fun to look back at the games I played, and find which ones were my absolute favorites. Well it is back and I am excited because by my Backloggery Stats I think I had a good year of gaming. I beat 30 games and completed 3 games over 9 formats. I am actually on pace to beat at least one more before the New Year. Anyways let’s get started with The Second Annual Chris Goes Awards Show!
And I guess I had to watch football too. Funny thing about that. I was playing Angry Birds Star Wars while watching The Birds (Eagles) lose to the Cowboys. For a while there, we were in perfect sinc: I would clear a level, and the Eagles would make a great play. Then . . . not so much. Ah well, it was fun anyway.
Cowboys avenge 1968 Santa Clause and end the game on an interception to cause a Christmas miracle!
Hello Pixlbit. Under my current circumstances, I'm not working and I'm not playing, so I have plenty of time to put up a blog. I may even have enough time to work on a 2nd blog and post it in a week or 2. Do I dare?
I thought that by organizing a list of games I was interested in playing would be a good way to experience them all in a timely manner but in hindsight, I think it was a bad idea over all. The good thing is that I was able to spend more time with each game than I normally would have, and discovered games I normally wouldnt play. The bad thing is that I didnt like a couple of games, triple A games, long games, and I didn't enjoy the time I spent with them. I feel like I wasted my time actually. I had such a bad time in fact that I went back and started playing games I know I enjoyed. This backlog is what caused my desire to want to stop gaming and a reminder of why I just cannot trust mainstream game review sites. I've gone off on mainstream game reviewers in the past, so I wont do it anymore. I just find opinions from enthusiasts on forums, youtube and blogs to be more honest sometimes and just as valiable. I think it's time to let go of the game reviewer as god and accept more opinions from the community as well.
I had one game on my to-play list that wasn't at least eight years old, and so I was able to locate it at a Gamestop in my area. I was off again to pick up another video game but this time at a most nonretro store. PIcture below.
Hello bloggers of Pixlbit! It was a rainy Friday today. I was so happy to finally have rain. Which meant I get to stay in and just play all day. So earlier this week I decided to finally pick up Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. I thought of buying this on release day but knowing that Black Friday was around the corner I decided to let this purchase go for a while. Well it didn't last that long. I was just looking around my local GameStop and saw a used copy. Wasn't surprised to see one since the Pokemon games get traded in within a week of releasae. Anyways, I figured I would give it a try.
I think I'm making up for all that lost time over the summer...
Well Happy Friday Pixlbit Nation! The week has come to an end and I am ready to do nothing but…well actually I don’t know. I should go buy the last remaining Christmas gifts, and I missed the midweek Swapmeet because I got lazy, so I should go to the weekend Swapmeet. So what has been going on in your lives? Anything interesting? Currently it is a wet Friday here in normally Sunny Southern California. Yesterday was the start of this huge storm and which gave birth to what is easily my favorite hash tag #HellaStorm. Oh Nor Cal and your use of “Hella”. For those outside of California Northern Californians use the term “Hella” to add emphasis and replace the word very or really. Southern Californians get made fun of because we like adding the word “The” to the names of freeways. “Hey did you see The 405 is a parking lot today?” And that concludes the odd vocabulary of the different parts of California. Let’s start today’s Quick Hits
