Another month, another release. This time with two titles: Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. I can’t wait for the new Pokemon game this weekend, though I was hoping to get both that and PQ in one day (Shadow of the Labyrinth comes a week later) to avoid both the snow and Black Friday. I’m still ecstatic despite the time gap, but I still have some other games to play (especially Super Smash Bros.) as well as revisiting some other classics such as Half-Life. In the end this was a bad time to renew a couple of manga (Tiger & Bunny: The Movie Manga). Might as well return them to the library early this week before the snow gets any worse. My opinion on Tiger & Bunny at the moment: a bit similar to The Running Man.
Two weeks ago, the school where I work conducted their "Black & Gold" (school colors) basketball game night to kick off the new season. It was basically all the varisty teams playing scrimmage but it was also an opportunity for a bake sale and God knows what else. Honestly, I stayed the hell out of that building unless someone reported a mess that needed to be cleaned up.
So get this Pixlbit, I just realized that Thanksgiving is next week. Next freaking week. Oh the excitement is building because once Thanksgiving Dinner is over, Christmas Music is in full swing, and I will check out Black Friday deals. There is no way I’m going when the stores open because there will be yahoos fighting over $3 DVDs, so I’ll wait an hour or two, and besides the Target and Walmart by the house will be opened early so I will be happy to find a $20 game. How was your weekend Pixlbit? Anything fun, good, or exciting? My weekend was spent on “The 10” (you odd folks who don’t live in Southern California just refer to the freeway number) Wikipedia even has an entry for it. Who knew?
Hey guys, remember that time I watched a terrible Hallmark Christmas movie? I’m doing it again. And again. And . . . again. I’m going to watch a bunch in the next month. I don’t know how many or how often or which ones, so you will have to stick to checking www.pixlbit.com every week for updates. We all know they're bad; here's why...
Started out today playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on True Vault Hunter mode with the implacable Mad Krammer on Xbox Live. I got really, really frustrated with getting knocked around so much. It was like I had a butter shield protecting a fat weeping child; I got knocked down, then got up again, over and over and over. I was pretty good at getting a kill to revive myself during Fight For Your Life Mode though. Then I watched the Eagles play Green Bay and saw pretty much the same thing play out for the Eagles. They got knocked down, got up again, but basically stayed down more often than up. I give Green Bay the respect due, they played an immaculate game of football.
As mentioned in our introduction, PixlCross has been in active development for quite a while now. The first prototype was written before being accepted to the Nintendo Developer Program and since then we've started fresh with what's intended to be the final implementation. A few weeks ago, we decided we had done all we could really do without having a dev kit in house, so we put in our order to bring one in.
Well, I end up buying quite a bit in the last month and a half:
Everytime a new game launches we as gamers look up to the sky and say "Not another goddamn Ubisoft A-Creed , WOW BC , or Diablo 3 launch."
As I wanted, the Green Bay Packers just changed their record to 7-3 with today's win, and Philidelphia ties that record after the Packers blow out another team at home. The other football team in the NFL I root for, the Dallas Cowboys are also 7-3. So are the Detroit Lions, the Denver Broncos, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Hell, wrong sport, but the Dallas Mavericks are 7-3!
I finally went ahead and bought my HabitRPG character a bunch of viking crap. I wanted to make my goals more real-life oriented by setting prices for "a night out" or "binge drinking," but I didn't know what prices to set so here he are
No not the ones from SNL. I just read this in Arthur C. Clarke's The City and Stars and had to capture it. It could be something really profound or it could just be the beer.
Today I donated the last of my books to the library. When I got there, I realized it was book sale day, and so I went down to the basement to see what's what. I knew they had gotten in a bunch of old Avalon Hill board games about a month ago, but I had only a very slight hope that any of them would be left, and sure enough, none were; but there was a box of old Dragon magazines, probably from the same donor as the board games - 65 issues ranging from #65 to #214. I thought about it a while. My instinct was to grab the whole box. Then I thought I'd only take the ones from the 80's. Finally I gave in and grabbed the whole box. At 10 cents a piece, it all came to $6.50. I can't wait to read through them and scan the covers and any interesting graphics within, like ads for video games or board games.
Last week I spent a lot of time dealing with fixing pipes with my father and little brother. This week, we spent some time breaking stuff!
Am I going crazy or did we have the capability to add pictures and video to our replies. Now all I get is a plain text box when I add a reply.
I had these completed for awhile without any photos and today I finally decided to get these published!
Thought about buying an Xbone since my dad gave me the money it would have costed to go on the trip with the family next weekened but I chose not to. I would have had to take unpaid leave from work and I decided I might as well stay home. This of course worked for everyone, they dont have to worry about the dogs since Ill be home nor the cats. However upon looking it up and seeing if there was anything worth getting one for and there just isnt really. I couldnt give a damn about half the games on it that are exclusive and multiplats will always go to my console of choice which is PS4. The Xbone would be for exclusives only on it and right now I dont see how anyone can cry about Sonys lack of exclusives recently since the Xbone seems just as bad. The only ones Im really interested in are Sunset Overdrive, Ori and the blind forest and I wouldnt mind jumping back in Halo but thats it really. I guess Ill wait a time longer.
You may or may not remember that back in 2011 that a little teaser trailer for a game called Tenkuu no Kishi Rodea or as we know it... Rodea: The Sky Soldier was shown at Nintendo's E3 for the Nintendo Wii and 3DS. This game was developed by Yuji Naka famous for Sonic, NiGHTS, and founding his own studio Prope and being published by Kadokawa who also failed to release another great Wii game Earth Seeker stateside, but that is more of a fault in Kadokawa having no American branch. That and another problem with Rodea is that is was released so late in the Wii's life cycle. The Wii U was on it's way in 2012 and the last few notable games to come out for it were Pandora's Tower and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Well hello there Pixlbiticans. It has been a breezy week here in Sunny Southern California. I like to use the metrological term “Windy As F*ck” when describing the weather. Heck I didn’t even bother to go to the midweek Swapmeet. I bet fake Lego Lady probably had the Red Hulk. So it is Friday, I am excited because the weekend is almost here, I need to buy a birthday gift for my cousin’s kid, and it is time for another Quick Hits!
