I really love both Bayonetta games. I love their combat, style, and the character Bayonetta. Arthur Gies of Polygon liked the gameplay for Bayonetta 2, but felt the character was sexist. He knocked the game down a few points because it was sexist. Now, some of you know my opinions on Gies, but these are neither here nor there. If he differs on my opinion, I really don't care. Even if he gives a game I love a good, but not great score, then it's just his opinion.
I got a VIP ticket to the BlizzCon afterparty tomorrow at House of Blues. I've never been to BlizzCon, don't play Blizzard games, I have no idea what's going to happen!
Has anyone gone to one of these things? What do they do at these things?
The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987. Why books don't have multimedia enhancements is a missed opportunity to continue making physical books relevant. Put some chips in the book to instantly send links to your phone so you can watch videos or hear music relevant to what your reading. In this backwards age, I have to do it manually through this blog.
I did an editorial about games so bad they're scary and how they're needed to make us more thankful for the better games not long ago. Felt it was appropriate as we move from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Check it out here: http://plus10damage.com/blog/2014/10/30/halloween-games-for-scaredy-cats
The Black Panther will get its own movie. I have no idea who he is. I just know that through watch Mojojo.com I was educated on the very issue at hand.
Nintendo is on a roll with giving me what I want, first Hyrule Warriors and now Majora's Mask for 3DS. When the direct started with that announcement I couldnt be disappointed by anything else they did. Spring 2015 you guys. We get to venture back to hunting for the Skull Kid using powers from an assortment of masks while having 3 days to do as much crap has possiable.
Remember that from the arcade game Berzerk? I'm recalling all sorts of old school memories and learning some new things in Brett Weiss' new book The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987. Get a look over my shoulder as I write myself notes about what I've been reading today.
I just wanted to let all of you know there is a Nintendo Direct today at 5pm Eastern time. I believe thats 4pm for me. Anywho just thought I would announce it. I dont really have any ideas of what I want to show really but I mean more details on Zelda Wii U would be nice.
If any of you remember, I went to Belgium as an exchange student and stayed for almost a year, and now I just came back yesterday from my trip. I was going to stay until the beginning of December, but due to certain problems i'd rather not talk about, my stay got shorter.
Lately I’ve been reading things about major networks taking off their Saturday morning cartoon lineup and whatnot. I don’t really know the details about all of it because news about Saturday morning cartoons just isn’t at the top of my radar anymore. But it got me to thinking about my favorite Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, so I decided to list my top ten. I think I did a blog like this before, but it’s been quite a while so I think it’s worth revisiting.
It pains me to say that I had to quit on a new game this year that I was actually enjoying. I ran into a wierd bug where the game just gets locked into a menu screen. On top of that, this game has no checkpoints. The only way to save in this game is through standard save points and you can't F5 or menu save whenever you want either.
I played another full day of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel continually in co-op with my buddy Mark. I bought the season pass for the upcoming four DLC packs, topped 50 hours playtime, got to 26 of 50 achievements, and begun True Vault Hunter Mode, which is just a harder difficulty replay of the game.
Oh one hour of sleep I’ve missed you! For you folks who don’t move their clocks Sunny Southern California got to move its clocks back one hour early Sunday Morning which means, well nothing really especially since I’m still waking up at 6:30am, even on weekends. Blah! Anyways Good Morning Pixlbit Nation, how was your Halloween Weekend? Anything fun happen? Here in the neighborhood we had 10x the kids as last year! Yup ten kids total showed up to the house and got a handful of candy each. One kid freaked out, started running to show his parents, and almost dropped all his candy. Best costume of the day went to a little kid who dressed up as an old timey weightlifter. He got two handfuls of candy. I broke my rule of not giving teens candy when everyone was finishing off trick or treating, there was a guy walking around I’m assuming is his younger brother. I gave him a handful of candy because he was doing this for his bro.
Today I started Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (BtPS) again continuing some side missions I was on when co-op happened. I forget exactly why my friend Mark and I started playing the missions co-op, but it was very helpful in the last several story missions to beat the game.
I feel really bad for Natsume right now. Digital River apparently is doing their job properly which is kind of their repuation. I dont know if any of yall have had an experiance with them but I have read bad story after bad story about them. I have read people never got their item, Ive read that the goods were damaged and in bad shape, and then I have heard that customer service wise they are horriable and no help. Now while this is all exerpainces from other people, these should give people a warning of what to keep an eye out for when using them or considering using them. I had a bad feeling about ordering from them. However since the bunny for CE of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley was too hard to pass up so I put in my online order. They were suppose to start shipping online orders thru the store on Wed Oct 29th but barely anyone has gotten a shipping email. The few that have gotten it ordered in random spots too. One lady who got hers ordered after me. I wont lie, Im a tad pissed off. I understand someone ordering before me getting a shipping email but after me? thats just ridiclous. If I didnt want that bunny badly Id cancel and cut my losses which even now Im tempted to do. However since it is close to original release day anyway I figure I might as well carry on and see what happens. If by Tuesday I still havent recieved my shipping email I think Ill cancel and go pick it up in store. I wont get a plushie at all but hey Ill live.
My bad day Friday (Halloween) in which I was informed my car would cost $712 to MAYBE fix and another $1700-$1800 if they fixed the timing belt, shaft belt, and water pump but found a valve had been broken (which apparently they can't know until they fix those other things; currently asking for second opinions) ended with a trip to El Chico, the mall, and the movies in Lufkin with my friend and his girlfriend. So kind of a half-and-half day.
Alot of people have their own tradition when it comes to holidays, especially on Halloween. People usually go trick or treating, watch a scary movie, or play some scary games. These days I go with the latter but the Halloween themed game I play every year isn't that scary. In fact it isn't a horror game. The game in question is Luigi's Mansion.
I'm going to be (that is if I didn't have to work and if I was one year into my new work out regimen that I'm starting soon) Gene from God Hand. More speficially, his final battle version which has him with both the god and devil hands. That means a right arm brace and a left arm sleave tattoo. Oh yeah!
